Everyone here agrees that Trump must be defeated for the sake of our Democracy [View all]

No one here believes that Kamala Harris. or any of the other leading Democrats whose names have been mentioned as a possible Presidential candidate is a threat to our Democracy. All of them have praised Joe Biden's accomplishments as President

For the same bottom line reason why so many here have stressed how important it was to stand behind Joe Biden as President, the same applies to whoever now becomes our Democratic nominee. The stakes are enormous: the Climate, the Supreme Court, voting rights, economic justice, reproductive rights, racial equality, sexual orientation equality, stopping Russian aggression in Ukraine, the list goes on and on and on.

I had doubts that Joe Biden could win this election, but I deeply respect him, never trashed him and stood ready to work hard for him if he were our nominee. Now he has decided that he will not be. Democrats need to stand behind our nominee. i strongly believe it should be VP Harris at the top of the ticket now. But I will work for whoever Democrats run. Period. Too much is riding on this election, we can sort out our differences later.

Joe Biden is a true leader. He still has my love and admiration.
