It’s too late. should he have stepped down yes. But he didn’t so now we need to push his corpse over the finish line. If we don’t then it’s a hand off to the other party because of how first past the post works.

I would argue that it’s not too late. The two-party system, for once, works in our favor. People overwhelmingly vote for parties anymore, not candidates. As long as we have someone with decent name recognition who isn’t falling apart or perceived as falling apart, we are very capable of getting to a better position for the election this November.
Unfortunately, the most likely candidate who meets those criteria is Harris. But c’est la vie.
Harris is very unpopular with a large portion of the democratic base because of her very close ties with law enforcement and resistance to criminal justice reform while Attorney General of California.

C’est la vie? Are you serious? Have you been in the US this last 20 years?
This country is too racist and too sexist for Harris to win… It’ll never happen, no matter how much money is pumped into her campaign, you can’t change the nature of the country, it’ll never happen.
I say this as a minority myself, this country sucks and it merely tolerates people who aren’t white men. Putting Harris on the Democratic ticket is a huge tactical error, I hate that fact, but it’s true.
If you want Harris to be president, reelect Biden and wait for him to resign due to health.
You’re unfortunately right. It doesn’t help that she can be combative from her years as an attorney. Working retail with many black people for years taught me that the ignorant white world has a much lower tolerance for strong black women. I was frequently called over for conflict resolution due to a “hostile employee” complaint, to find my team member was completely calm and collected, but the old white person perceived a black woman speaking with conviction as overly aggressive.
I love this bizarre narrative that the country who elected Obama and majority voted for Clinton is so racist and sexist that they’d be more supportive of a white man who can’t reliably form coherent sentences. Like yeah, racism and sexism is a thing, but it’s both not worse than public cognitive impairment and you’re deploying the specter of bigotry in order to implement its goals without even putting up a fight.
so now we need to push his corpse over the finish line
Whose this “we”? WE literally called him to not run again 2 years ago. But the DNC stopped listening to the voters in 2020 apparently and now half the DNC acts the same as the GOP these days.
