The progressives who want to force Joe Biden off the ticket have given almost no thought to what would happen next, and what few ideas they have floated are in contradiction with each other. jonathanchait writes
Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images Joe Biden’s critics on both the left and the right have turned repeatedly to the Brett Kavanaugh case as their prism for understanding Tara Reade’s charges of sexual assault. The parallel has many problems. On the one hand, the accusation that Biden committed assault in his 40s is more disqualifying than the charge Kavanaugh did so as a teen.
I should note that my disagreement with these writers does not lie principally over how we evaluate the truth of Reade’s charge. All of them describe the accusation as credible, but not close to certain. “No one — save Ms. Reade and Mr. Biden — knows with certainty whether her claims are true,” writes Bruenig. “It can’t be dismissed out of hand,” writes Cooper. Pareene describes Biden as “a man you now suspect may have done something terrible.
All the writers now urging this were fervent Biden opponents during the primary. None of them seem to have considered that the overwhelming majority of Democrats who voted for him might be upset over denying the nominee they picked over something he may or may not have done in 1993. Indeed, none of them seem even remotely troubled at the prospect of the party elite functionally disenfranchising its own electorate.
