And preferably, name someone who has announced their candidacy.

A list of people you'd like in the job isn't as relevant. I would've accepted almost any of the names people had floated, had any of them publicly shown interest.

But here we are with people often demanding Jon Stewart and Michelle Obama throw their hats in the ring, and that's two people who keep saying they aren't interested.

Edit: the shit people downvote here.

I wonder how much of it is just undermining Biden. I lump this in with the "just any third party" people. It doesn't make sense unless your goal is to just undermine Biden to bemoan his situation and the party without rallying behind something more specific. The "just any third party" implies the person is equally stoked about the chances of a Green Party or a Libertarian candidate, which makes no sense given the vastly different platforms.

To be clear, I'm planning to vote against trump unless somehow biden gets replaced with someone worse than trump (~0% chance that happens, but still)

that said, I don't know a single person who's happy with biden or excited that he's the candidate, and frankly I doubt the sanity of anyone excited about him as much as I doubt bidens sanity (whereas with people voting for trump the insanity is crystal clear). I don't know for sure who would be better, kamala might be the best bet, but being able to get through a debate without gibberish word salad sentences should be an obvious requirement

I remember when RBG said the same thing. "Who would you rather see on the court other than me?" The answer is literally anyone else who isn't a christofascist rapist, but they ended up with that one christofascist rapist.

It may also be a little late to introduce a new candidate, unless they have great name recognition. Betcha Bernie 2.0 would mobilize a goodly number of people, while centrists would hold their noses, and just vote for Not Trump.

Bernie isn't running, and Biden isn't quitting, so we take what we can get. At this point, I would literally vote for a loofah if it ran against Trump.

“‘Get On Board Or Shut The Fuck Up’ is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker,” he said.

Jon Stewart gets it, why can’t you?

The current vice president, who also is the vice presidential candidate, and who Biden's campaign itself says is qualified to replace him if he's incapacitated? You know, the one that's already effectively a candidate for the presidency because no one believes Biden will last 4 years?

Offering to run instead of Biden at this point would basically be political suicide, so it’s no wonder nobody has stepped up. If Biden backs out though the math changes significantly. This is t a very convincing argument.
