I have to say DU is the only place

10. Once again

DU is open to Joe Biden stepping down. Members are permitted to discuss what might happen in the event that he chooses to do so.

DU is not open to Joe Biden being forced to step down. Members are not permitted to advocate for our nominee to be replaced.

The policy that DU members must support the nominee during general election season has been in place for the last 20 years and I see absolutely no reason to change it now. Once primary season had concluded, we did not allow Dean supporters to undermine John Kerry in 2004, we did not allow Hillary Clinton supporters to undermine Barack Obama in 2008, and we did not allow Bernie Sanders supporters to undermine Hillary Clinton in 2016.

We are not going to change the policy this year to accommodate "Anyone But Biden" Democrats who want undermine Joe Biden, for as long as he is the nominee.

This is not about a cult of personality. If Joe Biden is not the nominee, then DU will pivot to support whomever replaces him. I imagine quite a lot of people will be very upset if that happens, but defeating Trump is the priority.

However, until that happens, Joe Biden is the nominee, and as such, he is protected by longstanding DU policies.

Now I'm going to lock this, because I've been clear on this and it's not up for debate.
