The more important question is asking how you convince Biden to step down. He has the delegates, he is the nominee if he wants to be. You could have the best candidate ever (they don’t) and it wouldn’t matter if you can’t get Biden to step down.
Even if you could change the rules, the delegates were decided by the Biden campaign. Would be hard to convince more than half of them to change their vote without Biden himself asking them to.
You’re forgetting all the super delegates. Also, those delegates were pledged months ago. Freed to vote in a brokered convention you might see some change.
Super Delegates don’t get to vote in the first ballot anymore, they changed the rules because the Bernie Bros were mad Hillary got a lot of Super Delegates. They didn’t want the Super Delegates to be able to do…exactly what you’re proposing.
Actually…I guess if we’re talking rule changes I guess you COULD change it so Super Delegates voted on the first ballot again, and hope enough Super Delegates were on board, but what an insane crisis of legitimacy that would cause. Like I guess you could change the rules so Nancy Pelosi picks the next Democratic nominee but that’s not a good way to make the voters feel heard.
If it was up to me I’d be like, everyone is going to learn what a caucus is and we’re having a national caucus day for Democrats on August 1, at your local party office parking lot. But I’m not in charge. That’s really just a way to show how we can solve this while listening to voters.
Just play his own appearances back to him until he’s shouting at himself on screen like the rest of us
The party committee can meet and change the rules. Ironically it was SCOTUS that made this possible.
