President Joe Biden is standing firm against calls for him to drop his reelection candidacy and calling for an end to the intraparty drama that has torn apart Democrats since his dismal debate performance.
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, but technically it is entirely up to Biden, and no one else. The DNC can’t just nominate whoever they want, there was a primary to determine the nominee. Most delegates that will vote for him at the convention, must vote for him. They’re required by state law to vote with the primary’s popular vote. The only way for that to change is for Biden to decide to step aside. Then the delegates would be free to vote however they wanted.
It’s a messed up and broken system that is hard to call democratic, but internal party politics rarely are. He needs to be the bigger person and step aside. It’s pure hubris at this point for him to think he’s the only human being in a country of 300 million who could beat Trump.
But this podcast changed my mind about her. Still think she’ll be a bad president. But trump is probably the only candidate she can beat, even with the 29% approval rating. After this video I think she can beat trump.
The polls don’t know what they want and your average voter is a moron. If they asked them “Well, what should we do?” most likely the answer would be “Well, re-run the primary!” not realizing it takes 6 months to run a primary in 50 states+DC.
because they will have had no say in who replaces him.
I agree with that
But I think Biden and Hillary are the only two who can lose to trump.
I think if it’s not Biden it’s Kamala. If you still don’t think she can win, check out that podcast I linked you. I know podcasts suck, but it’s really fucking good and logically spells out how despite how bad Kamala is, she can still beat Trump. And like we’ve said, they agree she’s pretty much the only one the DNC would nominate
Why I’m surprised by a candidate saying they’re ok with their felonious opponent winning the election? I’m genuinely curious how you’re genuinely curious that I’m surprised by that.
I think Biden’s response to the question is being slightly misrepresented, but it’s certainly not the kind of response I’d want to hear, especially as a followup to the debate.
Sounds like we got 42 more days to name a candidate…
Why the fuck are we pretending this is only Biden’s decision though?
The DNC can nominate anyone they want, and Biden already said he doesn’t care if trump wins.
So why does Biden get to insist he’s the candidate? Especially when every metric and data point we have, shows Biden won’t be able to pull it off?
This election is more important than an 81 year olds personal beliefs and if “Lord God” has told him to drop out or not
Pushing forward with Joe is damn near suicidal at this point.

That’s not what the DNCs lawyers argued to a judge less than a decade ago…
You’re assuming the DNC can’t just change their own rules first. Which is what the DNC is currently acting like.
It’s not true though. They change their own rules all the time.
What the DNC lawyers say and what the general public will allow are two different things.
If Joe doesn’t volunteer to step down, and it looks like he won’t here’s what will happen:
Joe runs and loses.
DNC removes Joe for Kamala and she loses because everyone hates her.
DNC forces both Joe and Kamala out and they lose because the voters had no say in the process.
Really, the only way out here is for Joe to die and get replaced by Kamala who then gets the sympathy vote.
Yeah, but polls show voters want to replace him…
If the DNC replaced him, that’s what voters want.
I’m linking this too much probably.

If you’re worried Kamala can’t beat Trump, watching the first half of that will make you feel a lot better about her.
Because honestly, I can’t imagine the DNC let’s anyone else takeover.
The polls don’t know what they want and your average voter is a moron. If they asked them “Well, what should we do?” most likely the answer would be “Well, re-run the primary!” not realizing it takes 6 months to run a primary in 50 states+DC.
So you think voters will do a 180 and now be upset Biden is replaced when they’ve been calling for him to be replaced?
I don’t understand.
There’s been no waffling in the polls, even in 2020 voters thought Biden’s age was a significant issue.
They still do, but they used to too.
I do, because they will have had no say in who replaces him.
The same way the DNC forced Hillary on everyone in 2016.
I agree with that
But I think Biden and Hillary are the only two who can lose to trump.

Biden said he doesn’t care if Trump wins? What?
Yep.

The article has the clip.
As long as he does the “goodest” job he can, he’s fine with trump winning.
If you haven’t watched the full interview yet. You really need to
Genuinely curious how you’re surprised by this

Biden ran on a platform of working with the fascists I don’t know why you’re surprised he’s good with them in power.
