Biden vows to keep running as signs point to eroding support on Capitol Hill
Biden vows to keep running as signs point to eroding support on Capitol Hill
President Joe Biden is vowing to keep running for reelection as he rejects pressure from within his Democratic Party to withdraw after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about his readiness.
About 7 in 10 voters, and 45% of Democrats, said Biden’s physical and mental ability is a reason to vote against him, according to the CNN/SSRS poll.
And about 6 in 10 voters, including about one-quarter of Democrats, said reelecting Biden would be a risky choice for the country rather than a safe one, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll. That poll found that Democrats were split on whether Biden should remain the nominee.
There's no reason to take this risk for Biden after he spent four years telling us a president can't do anything.
If he really was "the next FDR" I could see pushing for him to stay in, but I just don't see what makes Biden worth the risk.
Pretty much everything he brags about accomplishing, is stuff congress passed and he signed instead of vetoing. Lots of people can do that.
You've made the mistake thinking that this is about democracy and the American people, in reality it's about his ego and more than a dash of creeping dementia.
The man is living decades in the past. He thinks the GOP and Dems are still working together for the same corporate goals, he thinks hes dealing with Golda Meir's Israel, he thinks he has 50 years to deal with climate change.
Biden is just out of touch with reality and is too stubborn to listen to anyone telling him he's about to drive the family van into a crowd of pedestrians because "I've been driving for 60 years! I know what I'm doing, stop trying to influence me!"
It's like watching sheep being herded by a donkey
Trump could wish for a better rival.
That same arrogant hubris from Clinton fucked us over too
Do I know what is the answer here no. There isn't some simple choice that does make sure Trump is defeated but it isn't an election of only denying Trump. Trumpism as a whole needs to be defeated, and that requires someone with backbone and morals. There will be people after this one using all the groundwork Trump has laid.
