10. Overruling the nearly unanimous Democratic primary vote for Biden is almost guaranteed to lost *everything*

How do you think gotv efforts will fare after the party gives a big f u to its members?

A ton of democrats will then sit it out or maybe vote for the brain worm guy as a protest.

Only two times has an incumbent party rejected the incumbent as nominee and managed to win with someone else: Buchanan and Garfield, both ancient history. And both of them had run vigorous and popular primary campaigns.

You want to hand the nomination to someone who merely maybe worked a back room deal and has zero campaign infrastructure or strategy or plan or personnel just 4 months before the election?

It will be an utter disaster.

Maybe someone else had a chance during primary season. But Biden won. Change horses mid stream and we will all drown.
