Karen Bass floated banning masks for protesters days before coming down with Covid-19.
So the plan is just to gaslight voters saying Biden is perfectly fine until the election?
+1? Wrap it up folks! It's over!
I agree but he won't
Many California homeowners are concerned about their home insurance, and that anxiety ratcheted up when State Farm requested one of its biggest rate increases ever.
The vice president is the obvious path out of the mess Joe Biden has created.

We’ve already got a “not Trump” candidate who is good enough for now.
That's the issue. Is that really good enough to defeat Trump? For democracy being on the line, I think they really need to replace Biden. I think only Obama could convince Joe to step down. He would look Presidential and his legacy would be "fine". If Biden stays in the race and loses to Trump, Biden's legacy will be "his ego ended democracy". The empire is collapsing.
Drivers will get sick pay and healthcare stipends, too.
Democratic leaders have stood by the president as he faces questions about his ability to defeat Trump in November. But privately, many are expressing concern.
>Moreover, according to a senior Democratic official, the party leadership would have much more control over choosing a replacement if Biden were to drop out after receiving the nomination than if he did so beforehand. Once a candidate is officially nominated, there is a process for the Democratic National Committee members to choose a successor. Biden is the dominant force at the DNC, and his preference for a successor would surely carry sway.
>If Biden were to exit before that, his delegates might do what he asked of them — but they wouldn’t be bound in the same way they are now. In that scenario, the delegates could nominate anyone, and there could be a political brawl at the convention.
President Joe Biden’s dismal showing at the CNN presidential debate against former President Donald Trump resonated around the world, with foreign diplomats expressing shock and concern while raising questions about the implications for a consequential US election that could upend the foreign policy...
Democrats really have no way to spin this. We break down Biden’s disastrous debate. It was rough.

I'm legit at a loss... I just feel numb tonight. Seriously. Like WTF are Dems going to do now?!
>One adviser to major Democratic Party donors said they were texting from a meeting of donors in Atlanta on Thursday night, some writing “wtf.”
>“Our only hope is that he bows out, we have a brokered convention, or dies,” the donor adviser said. “Otherwise we are fucking dead.”
Oof.
But seriously, I'm still pissed. I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be THAT bad. If they don't replace Biden, we will get another Trump presidency. If you think Biden can win after the world saw the debate performance, you're delusional.
Y'all know I hate Biden but I still hate Trump even more. I don't know at this point who to replace him with. You can't replace him with Harris, she's polling even worse than Biden. Newsom, maybe, but it would fire up Trump's base even more because of the whole anti-California propaganda. I just don't know... I hate it here. Whitmer?
The president often had a weak, raspy voice during his first debate against Trump, in what Democrats had hoped would be a turning point in the race.
Hey, I'm here! I said vote for whoever you want or don't vote, that's democracy.
I've said over and over I'm a gay guy living in the Los Angeles area and far left. I keep sounding the alarm Biden will lose to Trump but nobody wants to listen to me.
And then, the debate tonight everyone is surprised Pikachu face now.
Keep in mind we could have had Mayor Pete, Bernie, Klobuchar, Harris, or Warren but they figured Biden would follow the party line and not having any annoying ideas of his own.
Are you watching the debate? I've been saying for months they need to replace Biden and now look...
The media is foaming at the mouth for some slip up they can sensationalize. If it was Gen X, Beto would be jumping on top of podiums.
While I am gay, hard pass on clapping any cheeks with Biden or Trump. No can do.
I think most voters have already made up their mind by now. If Trump shuts his mouth and "acts presidential" he will "win" the debate. If Biden can appear alert and well-spoken, he will win.
The downside for Biden I see are for those voters who haven't paid attention to politics recently. He's been declining in mental clarity lately and comparing pictures/video of him just from the start of his presidency he "looks" really old now. One of the most stressful jobs in the world ages you rapidly. Those voters could see Biden now and think "what the hell happened to him?"
The downsides for Trump... motions at everything The bar is extremely low. If he comes off as loud and interrupting or playing the victim, the Haley voters/old Republicans could be turned off.
A new poll finds most U.S. adults plan to watch or listen to some element of Thursday's presidential debate.
I know it's Reddit but there's a good resource with this sub...
I feel like we live in the Twilight Zone
Unless it personally affects them. SMH
