"It should not be even close."
I wonder how much of this is Biden being unwilling to accept the fact that he's not stepping out of the race on his own terms.
It would be one thing if Biden died of natural causes while in office. Or making a conscious decision not to run again (for any reason or no reason at all). Or even losing the election in November. It's a completely different thing to accept that you are simply unable to perform your duties any more, and even more difficult to accept the fact that everyone around you knows it too. Most people cannot handle that no matter what their position is in life. It's almost instinctual to want to fight on as long as you think you can. And nobody wants to admit that they just can't, not even to themselves. Now imagine going through that when you're doing the most powerful job on the planet, and the entire world is watching.
And now Biden is making the exact same mistake that RBG just did, and others have done before her -- staying in the job far longer than they should have instead of stepping down on their own terms when they can basically choose their successor. And RBG's dying words were her realizing what a huge mistake that was. Biden is going down the same path. Every day he stays in the race is a day that his successor isn't on the campaign trail making sure we don't lose our country to Trump.
Wow, I can’t believe Adam Schiff is engaging in a psyop to get Trump elected! /s
There are some days I’m convinced Biden is a psyop trying to get Trump elected. Like we all got reverse Pied Pipered
Seems like it is time for Obama to give Joe the phone call, and tell him that by staying in this race he is forcing the country to play Russian Roulette with a clip loading pistol...
Obama has never been the kind of guy who Shepherds his party. In fact that was one of his biggest flaws is that he did nothing to nurture and promote the Next Generation. He's not the Elder Statesman.
Hate to break it to you, but at this point it's Russian roulette regardless of what happens, all were deciding is what gun and magazine/clip size.
If they win though can they milk that sweet donor money in 2028 if they beat fascism?
How can you so easily surrender to this pack of idiots?
How can you be so dogmatic that you would rather run a failing candidate in complete public free fall rather than attempting to do whatever is necessary to save the country from the crypto-fascist psycopaths that want to destroy secular society for an entire generation at best.
You may be okay with Biden and the DNC repeating 2016, and giving it the "Aw, golly-gee schucks. We did our bestest" on November 6th. I, however, am not. Fuck every single part of that. You either don't give a shit, or you don't understand how stupid the average person in this country actually is. Biden is not going to win, no matter how much you want to wring your hands and cope. It is time to pull the fucking rip cord, and do whatever is necessary to win.
How many years of right-wing propaganda do we have to endure to realize that the election will be close because Trumps people are in endless propaganda loops....like, he has a solid floor and democrats are all polling like 40-44%.
No one is going to wipe the floor with him because technology has been used to lock alot of people into propaganda frames.
Like, if you think he should go because of optics, ok thats your opinion, but on SUBSTANCE his presidency is strong and his polling hasn't moved much post debate in the aggregate. Like, very possibly they pivot to Kamala to get a quick bump, and then some bullshit RW talking point dominates news cycle in 3 weeks and then return to the "its gonna be tight as shit" norm. Don't fucking do all this shit because he's not up by 10 points in the polls, Jesus christ.
Urging the president to consult the advice of advisers who are not in his immediate circle, Schiff appeared to suggest that he was concerned over multiple reports that Biden’s inner circle and family members, including his son Hunter Biden, are having an outsized—and potentially damaging—influence on the president’s defiance in staying in the race.
The only people saying Biden can't step down, are the ones with connections to him that directly benefit from it being Biden.
For some staffers, they're out of a job if it's anyone but Biden.
Not to mention if he's incapable, they get to be the ones running shit.
If you think anyone is "mopping the floor with trump" you haven't looked at a single poll regarding his support in the last 8 years. He has a huge base of loyal supporters. These people aren't even swayed when Trump tells them he's going to fuck them over.
Nobody can mop that floor. His voters are not swayed by anything. At best you can eek out a couple points and hope it goes your way at the electoral college level.
Some people can, but the Democratic Party hates them even more than it does the fascists.
That very fact is part of the alarm. The Southern Strategy was far more successful than its creators even dreamed.
You could have trump grab and rape children at his rallies on stage and his supporters would cheer for it. I bet the parents would even love it if their child got raped by trump. They're already cheering for a child rapist.
Biden was never that aggressive in attacking any opponent. His game was always in driving home his own position while making others look foolish in comparison.
Strength isn’t only defined by attacking the opposition. Just because the other guy is a bully and a jerk doesn’t mean that you have to define yourself the same way in order to beat him.
I’m really getting sick of this spoiled custard and his turd burglars defining the game. I’m getting even more sick of all of you asshats playing along as if the Turd Reich are the smartest people in the room.
What the fuck are you fighting for anyway if you’re willing to give it up so easily? Shame on all of you!

Okay, Obama . . . What do we do?
