Absolutely not. If the allegations were sufficiently credible, Biden should be pressured to withdraw, the way that Al Franken was pressured to resign. In that case, the party would need to choose a different candidate, and much as I dislike him personally, that candidate should be Bernie Sanders because he then would be the candidate who received the most votes and the most delegates, other than the one who was forced to withdraw.elengil wrote:IF the accusations gain weight or more come forward, then the DNC should absolutely say that this candidate is not representative of the party and a different candidate should run as the DNC nominee. We should, in essence, hold our own to the same standard as we hold others.
No, the selection process is not pure democracy, but thankfully it is much more democratic than it used to be. I for one am thankful for that. Even when the process does not result in the candidate that I prefer.
