Get a Grip, Democrats. You Can Still Win This. Biden's not far behind, the economic conditions remain excellent, and a vile assassination attempt in July doesn't determine November's outcome.
You're viewing a single thread.
Statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged.
Biden should have dropped out in ‘23 and allowed for a real primary contest. Instead he and his neoliberal ilk shouted down anyone talking sense, and now his ego will cost America everything. Congrats Joe, you’ll go down in history after all.
Assuming that is true; what's your proposal to fix this now?
Whitmer/Bootyjudge 2024
No! Butt YES!
We broke it, and now it's your fault for not knowing how to fix it.
The proposal is get him to step aside. Sooner the better.
And replace him with who?
Honestly. Someone with a clean record on genocides would be a good start.
Great, that sounds like a winning plan. “We’ll just find someone”. Definitely will be stronger against Trump that way.
It's funny cause, that's on them to find a better candidate
Meanwhile with no alternative from the dnc your efforts only serve to support trump. Your progressive paradise will never be realized. It’s been stated to death but stop letting perfect stand in the way of good.
That would be the FIRST step in the process, not the second. You get a parachute first, THEN jump out of the plane. Not the other way around.
You plan the jump first asshole, and they don't have a plan.
Sure, you're right. You have a good one.
Well, go find a candidate. Then we can take the option seriously. Till then, you're just shouting without helping.
Any participation in the discussion helps. Otherwise we stagnate with 80 year old leadership and end up here again in 4 years.
It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't an election in 2028 if Trump wins.
Which is why it is so essential we get it right. And the fact there's even discussion about it means Biden's the wrong guy for the job.
There is noone who can unambiguously win. Most voters are fascists. Thats the reality the dnc must politic around
Most voters are fascists.
They aren't! Left leaning voters are a majority, the problem is we're suffering under a biased electoral system and a lot of them have lost faith in the potential for government to actually do things for them so many don't turn out. Issue polling is usually even further left. Stir them up and give them hope for the future rather than just saying "what are you gonna do, he's worse" as they jettison another ideal to chase the center. It's a huge problem that right now we're not up 3-4%, because we need to overshoot to manage the EC bias, and that's not because the country has gained a lot of fascists, it's because he's lost a lot of black, Hispanic, Muslim, and youth votes.
The undecided voters who need to be won are suburban boomers who like Israel. Sorry, we live in hell, thats how it is
You don't think some Muslim voters in Michigan are "undecided"? This naïve idea that politics is a 2D line and the only gettable votes are in the middle is a plague on modern politics.
I think they're severely outnumbered by said boomers, and just as fucked as my trans ass in the event of a republican win
Blame the left for everything. Swing so far right that we implement project 2025 before Trump even takes office. Win over all right wing voters. Biden wins again gg no re.
I highly highly doubt Biden has another half decade of useful life left.
This will be a blight on his record like Ruth Bader Ginsbergs refusal to step down is on hers
