https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/05/former-obama-strategist-biden-presidential-race-00125435[code] I agree. Biden has really messed up with his response to Israel and there is no way to come back from it. That situation will only get worst. Ideally the republicans impeach, remove him from office and bar him from running/serving again. That would rally the democrats but remove Biden from the ticket. |
Biden has not messed up the response to israel. The far left of the Democratic Party has lost its mind. |
I do not believe there's another democrat, other than biden, that could win the presidential election.
So, yeah, complain all you like about biden, but IMHO, he's the only show in town. |
+1. |
I completely agree. Biden should step aside and let someone energize the party. I would love to see someone like Governor Whitmer.
On another note, I posted something very similar to this thread earlier this morning and it was deleted and I have no idea why. |
You mean one representative? |
I'm from Michigan and Whitmer cannot win. Doesn't have the gravitas. |
Oh yes he has. He lost 14% in the polls after his Israel trip. Another candidate could steer the party is away from Israel to a more favorable position with the American people. |
What would be that position? Please enlighten us on what would rally most Americans to a position on this conflict. Even Bernie urged halting of the bombings by Israel and yet also acknowledged it's impossible to have a ceasefire with Hamas: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/05/politics/sanders/index.html So what is to be done? How does Israel prevent Hamas from using a ceasefire to rearm and resupply while continuing to send rockets across the border? How does Israel fight back if Hamas is using human shields? Just stop and accept the repeated attacks? Please enlighten us. |
Be honest. Axelrod is not suggesting Biden should drop out because of his stance on Israel. Axelrod has seen the polls. He’s not stupid. Biden is underwater on every issue. Economy, immigration, crime, national security, foreign policy …..you name it. The public does not approve of Biden. |
Biden will stay in the race and win re-election. |
If Democrats were as good at messaging as they are at bedwetting they’d be in much better shape. |
This polling is a year out. We should take it seriously as a CTA to work hard but it tells us virtually nothing about Biden's actual chances. I'll just leave this here, meanwhile https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2011/07/28/obama-loses-ground-in-2012-reelection-bid/

Ax has been wrong a lot. He's wrong on this. I agree with poster above about WHAT other position should Biden have taken? Like WHAT would a majority of Democrats and Independents get behind? Be specific. Just writing on an anonymous board that Biden made a mistake is so easy. Come on big guy, give your take. |
Unfortunately, Biden as a candidate in 2024 is more likely to lose to Trump than he is to beat him in the same manner as 2020. Trump is a very, very beatable candidate and it wouldn't be difficult for someone perceived as a more fit candidate to beat him. This is becoming increasingly obvious everyday and those of us that are paying attention to what poll after poll is telling us are as concerned as Axelrod. |
