NYT and WaPo report Biden is close to stepping down

[Anonymous]

I just don’t see what Newsom brings to the table.

[Anonymous]

Powerful Democrats asked Biden to step aside... He said no.

They demanded more insistently... He said no.

They cut off donations... He said no.

Now we’re in blackmail territory.

AOC is basically describing a coup, being pumped by AIPAC and media & tech billionaires:

So this is a soft power / mafia coup?

Yeah, and she sounds so clueless when she says it. Is she really that removed from Americans? Is she that isolated?

I’m the one who posted the picture of the tweet and I would guess it’s because Biden intends to make the yacht wealthy pay their fair share. Why should the Elon Musks get all the benefits of America, get an outsized political voice to the tune of $45 million dollars a month to Trump, and not have to have any skin in the game?

That’s probably the totality of this bizarre hatred for Biden. That and the fact that Biden wouldn’t sit down for an interview with the NYT. That makes them big mad still.

Newsom and Pelosi had a family connection at one point. Others see him as young (relatively speaking) and telegenic.

I was at a neighborhood block party last night in a blue state and everyone there wanted Biden gone. In fact, people were excited to discuss all of our great options—Whitmer, Harris, Shapiro, etc.

Was this group saying this a year ago? Why not?

Something like 99% of the delegates are bound by DNC rules to vote for Joe Biden in first round of voting at the Convention. So it’s already Joe Biden’s nomination. The delegates are not free to vote their own choice.

This is why they are trying to publicly pressure him to step down.

Democrats need to get off social media. This is completely an astroturfed pressure campaign. Lots of phony enthusiasm for “replace Joe” by bot accounts.

He already said delegates can vote their conscience and if he does step down he’ll release them, still not a legal issue.

We’ve already seen in this thread that it’s a legal issue in Nevada to get on the ballot in November. Candidate must be replaced by 4th Friday in July. So even if Biden left the race and a new nominee is selected in August, it’s already too late. Will need Nevada Supreme Court to make a decision.

"replaced"? Explain what the Nevada ballot looks like right now and how Joe Biden got onto that ballot.

Ridiculous !

He’s fine. I don’t see why people are buying into the MAGA myth that Biden has cognitive problems. He doesnt.

Biden truly believes he is a great president. He truly believes the country is in better shape because of him. And he truly believes the country hates Donald Trump as much as he does.

Biden always has been a petty tyrant who believes his own spin about himself. He’s always been an angry vengeful blowhard who blames everyone else for his troubles. He always sees himself as the victim.

Which is why he’ll stay put

Newsone is a serial cheater and lied about Covid rules he flagrantly ignored.

We must not stoop to their level and elect someone as sleazy / unfaithful as trump.

You don’t rise in politics without being a sleazebag and them having a dossier of blackmail on you.

Biden has the most impactful legislative record since LBJ or maybe even FDR. And even with FDR it took him 10+ years to get his vision enacted. Biden got a beast of an agenda in only 4 years.

Biden reminds the very wealthy in this country of FDR. The bankers seriously thought about staging a coup against FDR because he was old, very effective, and pro worker. The parallels are kind of uncanny. Biden makes the wealthy extremely nervous because he’s got working class roots and has nothing left to lose.

I don’t think she is going to do better than Biden.
