This is a struggle for the soul and identity of our party [View all]

We are the Democratic party.

Democracy is literally in our name. We the people choose our nominee.

Chuck Schumer doesn't pick who gets to represent us in the election. Nor does Adam Schiff, George Clooney, or any of the others who seem to think are more equal than others.

We the people voted Joe Biden as our nominee. He was selected the landslide winner of a fair and thorough Democratic process. He has made it clear he feels up for the job.

Joe is our guy, the people have spoken. To me, even if he steps down I won't believe he did it of his own free will. That kind of 180 simply isn't in a man of such confidence and conviction. If he is coerced out, then there is no spirit or soul of Democracy in the Democratic party.

There is no choice to be made - it was already made by the people.
