DNC plans should Biden (or other D candidate) lose in 2024?

[Anonymous]

There seems to be a lot of talk of a GOP plan should Trump lose. Do the Ds have a similar plan should democracy fall in 2024? If electing Trump really means the overthrow of the government as we know it, are the Ds going to rally and do something or will they leave everyone for themselves? Do they have a stash of life rafts people can use to flee to the nearest foreign ports (Cuba, Mexico, Canada)?

I still don’t believe Trump will have the time / ability to run, so I’m not too worried. I also think all his legal troubles will turn off enough of his previous supporters that he won’t win.

To be sure, Biden has plenty of albatrosses around his neck, most recently his stance on the Hamas-Israel conflict, the perception of his ability to lead given his age, etc.

Do we just lay down and take it?

You could find a better candidate now. I don’t think Trump would win if you picked someone else but Biden is terrible and is in physical and mental decline. A lot of people would be ok with some of the same policies but it feels irresponsible to reelect him. I heard someone say no one would even consider renewing his contract if he were CEO of a company and that is 100 percent true. It doesn’t mean voting for him 3 years ago was bad or wrong but things have changed.. he has changed… and for most people it feels really irresponsible to vote for him again.

If Biden remains the candidate, it would be irresponsible to not vote for him, considering the alternative.

That said, his deciding to run again at 81 years old was the height of arrogance and irresponsibly.

The problem is, the party is backed into a corner because of VP Harris. They feel like they can't win with her at the top of the ticket, and they can't replace her without turning away a large chunk of their base. Biden running again is the only way to avoid that dilemma.

JFC, the DNC and RNC do not dictate or control the party. The national committee members are patronage positions for donors and fundraisers and are elected by state party conventions to represent the party establishment in their state. They don’t pick nominees. The national committee members are followers of the elected officials in office, not leaders who pick those officials. Lobbyists and mega donors have more influence than the DNC or RNC.

The DNC has supported successful elections in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022.

I am not sure why this is an issue.

Yes, flawed candidates, gerrymandering, voter suppression are all issues. The country faces an existential threat in the MAGA led GOP and Trumpism.

Vote accordingly.

I’m confident that dems will never lose another national election again.

There will still be heavily republican districts in red states that will never plausibly be taken by dems, but I’m confident that dems will never lose another toss-up district again. The numbers will always break for dems.

I am not so sure. I think crime and border control are going to be bigger issues than in the past across many voter groups. IMO, either party that does not put forth. The current front runner candidate will win.

What I find hilarious is that the Americans are backing the two candidates who could only beat each other. And you double down on it!

Women's healthcare and democracy supersede those issues. It is fundamental. If we don't have a democracy, and if women cannot control their own bodies, nothing else really matters.

You meant to say our republic, right? Democratic republic. Of course, for many years we seem to pick and choose which laws passed by our democratic republic will enforced/ignored. Hard to say we live by laws if we choose to ignore them.

Both side BTW

Dp- they wrote democracy and I’m pretty sure that’s what they meant. And they are correct.

If Biden stays in the race and becomes the nominee, which is very likely at this point, he does have a 50/50 chance of beating Trump. If Trump somehow doesn't become the GOP nominee, Biden would have slim chances against most of the other GOP potential candidates. The best Dems can hope for is Trump becoming the GOP nominee as that would give Biden the best chances at being re-elected and a Trump nomination would also provide for a relatively easy path to victory for any other Dem nominee should Biden change his mind and back out of the 2024 race.
