Biden’s Call With Hispanic Lawmakers Goes Off the Rails
Biden’s Call With Hispanic Lawmakers Goes Off the Rails
The call ended abruptly after Rep. Mike Levin asked Biden to withdraw from the race. Soon after, Levin formally called on Biden to step down as the nominee.
I probably sound like a broken record, but Biden stepping down is the best way forward at this point. Regardless of what you think about his capacities, he's lost the confidence of too many of the party's representatives. That's poison going into an election.
It's too late. should he have stepped down yes. But he didn't so now we need to push his corpse over the finish line. If we don't then it's a hand off to the other party because of how first past the post works.

I would argue that it's not too late. The two-party system, for once, works in our favor. People overwhelmingly vote for parties anymore, not candidates. As long as we have someone with decent name recognition who isn't falling apart or perceived as falling apart, we are very capable of getting to a better position for the election this November.
Unfortunately, the most likely candidate who meets those criteria is Harris. But c'est la vie.
So basically the same thing happened to trump i 2016 but he still won, kinda funny how the news and even the people he worked with, the politicians, don't know shit about politic.
Here's my favorite quote: "The Republicans, you’ve got to remember, have been running for a long time. The reason they don’t win is because they don’t stick together.”
Yeah, and he lost the popular vote. I don't think our demographics are so friendly as to let as lose the popular vote and win the electoral college, like Republicans do.
Commentary from someone on a podcast was that Biden thinks that he proved wrong everyone who doubted him in the past in 2020 and that he's sticking with that mindset now. It was a scary idea.
What's scary is the DNC basically forced Biden out of retirement because he was the only establishment person who could beat Bernie. Biden even said at that point that he only wanted to run for one term...
