Some of Biden's important supporters are pressing him to step asidefor some other Democrat.

Biden is around 30% progressive. That means (1) a real progressivewould be much better, but (2) he is the most progressive president theUS has had since the 1970s, and it is causing improvements already,despite opposition from Congress and the Supreme Court.

Choosing a stronger Democratic candidate would help prevent the wreckerfrom winning or stealing the presidency. But perse would be chosenentirely by the smoke-filled rooms of political insiders, with noprimaries for the public to influence the choice. I am afraid thatwill give us a plutocratist like Hillary Clinton.
