Does it matter whether Biden drops out of his own accord or not? Can't the DNC just nominate someone else regardless of what Biden wants?

The biggest issue with that is campaign infrastructure and funding, Kamala is the only one with access to both so they would have to pick her.

Yup, and she polls as much in the gutter as him objectively in her approval rating, with a press currently more biased toward her right now in fact. In other words, we all know what'll happen if they go negative on Harris: see the latter half of her 2020 Dem primary run, and it's possibly a bigger risk/gamble in fact.

The fact Biden is the best the Left can do in 2024, speaks volumes about what direction the party has taken...and it's not good, not good, throwing Black voters under the bus, throwing Asian voters under the bus, throwing LBGTQ+ under the bus, and Hispanics under the bus all for the older than 45 year old, college educated white women they love so much, quite clearly.

She may poll as bad as Biden, but I have a hell of a lot more confidence that she might be able to do something to change that. Note that when I say I have more confidence in her than Biden that I have exactly zero confidence in Biden and my confidence in Harris’s ability to turn things around, while not high, is definitely not zero.

I think the Dems probably lose with either one at this point, but Harris has a small chance. Biden is just completely toast.
