I take no pleasure in concluding today that our current President and de facto nominee for the top of the Democratic ticket in 2024 will be stepping down from the race in the next few weeks. I don’t want to see it, but circumstances indicate that’s what’s going to happen.
I wish the polls reflected what people actually think of Biden and not what they have been told they should think. The two become inextricably fused. That, more than reliability of the polls themselves, worries me today. They may tell us what people think, but they don't get into what caused them to think that--a whole lot did not watch the debate and only know what they are being told.
Obama is obviously being blackmailed or threatened. He never was a fighter, because he feared assassination. Kamala doesn't stand a chance against Trump.
But the rich and the Zionists know that.
I hope Joe tells them all to gfts. Joe is the most progressive president since FDR. He has nothing to lose.
And I'll add: The Democratic Party has a record of screwing over popular candidates. They did it to Bernie in 2016 and in 2020. There are still some corrupt, bought-off people trying to subvert the will of the voters in the Democratic Party, and that's the ONLY reason the Republican Party still exists.
If they dump Joe, I'm out of the party. I've been working locally for the Dems for nine years.
I strongly disagree with you. Joe Biden can no longer do a lot of retail campaigning. He does not have the powerful charisma to capture messaging from Trump and Vance, both powerful symbols and attack dogs. He and Harris cannot break through media memes muzzling their tries.
This is not about "moving the Overton window" left or right. This is not conservative. This is about capturing the attention and passions (including abortion, jobs, food costs and monopolies, health care, social security, foreign risks) of the middle voters.
We are miles apart on the ideas you expressed today , but that's ok. We're still allowed the right of disagreement. My hope is that Biden step down and that a mini convention is held in Chicago with Kamala and others debating for the right to represent the will of the people. Let us hear their platforms, see them in action, and then select the one to represent this country of ours. Biden has been responsible for enacting some great programs during his four year run that was cemented by a coalition against Bernie Sanders in South Carolina instigated by the DNC. Let us hope they stay out of it in this critical time and allow the people's will to take charge. We must beat Donald Trump and to not put our best forward during this race for and against democracy would be insanity.

Best ticket is Widmer and Booker.
