In response to "I appreciate the view from outside of our system, but I think you are misunderstanding how our system works." by ty97

Also, Joe stepped aside of his own accord. There was pressure, yes, but it was his decision. Nobody could have made him do it.

And, believe me, nobody in the party wanted this crisis. But there was a crisis.

It seems he was coerced into this decision to stand down. His opponents exercised coercive control to achieve their aims. That is troubling. - Loyola Jul 21, 16:21 5
- The decision was made when the money stopped coming in. -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 16:26 1
  - I believe that’s accurate. And that the money stopped coming in when his party colleagues deemed it appropriate to denigrate his ability to lead. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 16:31
- also "their aims" are beating Trump. That's a shared aim of all of us. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:24
- It was not a crisis of perception. Voters bought into the "he is tool old" thing and he was going to lose -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:23 1
  - Oh yes it is because people perceived that "someone else" can beat Trump So what happens we wake up day after Election - eag Jul 21, 16:31
It was a coup inside the party flat out - eag Jul 21, 16:11 3
- I disagree, Dem voters polled also said he was no longer fit. Coup is a ridiculous word to use here IMO - ty97 Jul 21, 16:20 1
  - It was a coup might sound a little strong but it was a non violent coup IMO -- nm - eag Jul 21, 16:33
- Party > One man -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 16:18
