Biden literally shits his pants. He's so far gone that he will definitely pass away while in office. |
Sorry, but I don’t buy this argument. Biden is dead in the water and needs to step down. The Harris problem can be overcome. Democrats need to do the right thing. |
Because Kamala would be next in that case, and whatever secret shadow government is actually running the country with Biden as figurehead is better than that. |

Don't blame the "Democrats" for not doing the right thing. Most of us that are in the know have for years been calling for him to step aside after his first term. This decision is up to Joe. He can choose to taint his 50 years in politics legacy by fumbling this election away to Trump or he can gracefully step aside so we can destroy Trump. The decision is his. Let's hope he makes the right decision. |
| If Biden dropped out of the race he would literally have to also resign as POTUS. Kamala would become 47 and run as an incumbent. She would need to appoint a VP, but the Republican House would never approve the nomination so it would likely be an Acting VP. The same duo would be the nominees in November. |
There is no longer an RNC. It’s Trump’s party now. |
Why would he "literally" have to resign as POTUS? This isn't how it works. He can choose not to accept the Dem nomination while serving out the rest of his term. The Dem party leaders will figure out how best to replace him on the 2024 ticket. They can do no worse at the top of the ticket. |
This is the tell that democrats really don't believe democracy is in peril. If they really believed something needed to be done to save the country, they wouldn't back the vegetable in chief. It is just a sound bite, the jig is up. |
It is true. They are having a early shadow election to beat the Ohio deadline for getting Biden on the ballot. Better speak up soon! |
Imagine what a tsunami of an election win it would be if the dems had someone - anyone! - under 70 running. The D SHOULD run away with the election. But if Biden stays we’ll have Trump and his psychos for president |
Most real Dems are hoping and praying Biden backs out of the 2024 race but if he doesn't, they'll still support the vegetable-in-chief if the alternative is Trump because at the end of the day, Trump serving until 2029 carries more risk than Biden does in that same role. The problem for Dems is that the independent/swing voters are much less likely to support the Dem candidate if Biden remain that candidate and since we desperately need those votes, we can only hope that Biden does the right thing by backing out. |
We know Biden is cognitively impaired and most likely has some kind of atypical Parkinsons or a variant of progressive dementia, something that was deliberately hidden and covered up by the media, the Biden staffers and senior Democrats, even if their crime was more refusal to talk about it and block anyone else from asking questions about it than a deliberate conspiracy. But now here's the other secret: Biden is not sharp as a tack. He never was and he never is. Biden spent his entire career pre-Obama as a third rate mediocre senator from a minor state whose politics shifted with the prevailing winds to remain in favor with the current Democratic party leadership. He went from a 70s era antiwar Democrat to a harsh on crime and welfare Clinton Democrat to pro trans / queer progressive left Democrat of recent years, whose real record is a long list of appointing mediocre people to high office on identity grounds rather than competence. Obama picked him because he was safely useless and wouldn't threaten him and never thought highly of Biden's aptitude (if anything, he thought very lowly of Biden's aptitude). Biden's role was to be the comic sidekick that would always make Obama look better while reassuring the independent voters of 2008 that there's a safe white face on the Obama team. In 2020, Biden was trailing badly against the other contenders in the early primaries, both Peter Buttigeig and Amy Klobuchar ran rings around him intellectually. But it was his deal with Clyburn to win the black votes in the SC primary (and SC being the state it is, pretty much the only democrats in the state are black) that vaulted him into the frontrunner status and Clyburn gave him the nomination because Biden promised to set aside so many of his cabinet positions and appointees and nominations for blacks, which is why Kamala Harris, a truly awful politician who slept her way to the top, was picked for the role. Had Stacy Abrams won her governorship in 2018, she'd have been the VP nominee, not Harris. That's Joe Biden for you. And that's the whole truth. Nothing but the simple truth to the man. He is a third rate politician. And like third rate politicians, he doesn't know when to go. He lucked into the presidency. His family isn't giving up the prize when they still have a shot at it for another few years. Maybe because they're also scared that a Trump DOJ would really turn its sights on the Biden cash for influence activities big time. |
