choerry Posted June 28 Posted June 28 It would be a kii if after this, Biden manages to eke out Trump in November.ย 1 1

Redstreak Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Top story on cnn website right now is the NYT calling for Biden to exit the race. I think this push is actually gonna have some staying momentum. Time will tell if it breaks through

Archetype Posted June 29 Posted June 29 The DNC is **** for going with Biden again and Biden is delusional for running. ย I will have no choice but to vote for this geezer but I sincerely hope they replace him with someone not about to croak. ย I shouldn't need to vote for someone who is basically a marionette doll. 1

GraceRandolph Posted June 29 Posted June 29 6 hours ago, Tovitov said: Kamala would be the easiest replacement because she's on all the campaign paperwork and Biden getting behind her would unite the party.ย ย Also, shoving Whitmer or Newsom over the first black woman vice president has its own set of optic problems. ย Kamala is unpopular but she's unpopular because Biden is. She arguably lost the debate against Pence back in 2020 but it wasnt a blow out and Pence won because voters love generic white guys in suits. I think she'd do fine if given the spotlight. ย Would Whitmer probably be better, sure. But sometimes the best road is the easiest.ย Kamala is not unpopular because she's tied to Biden. She didn't get a single delegate from California during her 2020 presidential run. She's just unpopular.ย 1 2

GraceRandolph Posted June 29 Posted June 29 The sunk cost fallacy is real. If you're not calling for Biden to DROP OUT then you are enabling a Trump victory and the blame is on you! 3 1

The poll is whatever, it may show more with time but I don't put much stock in it. Money and actual asking of important groups speaks volumes though. Perhaps nowadays with everyone so hyper political people are actually paying attention more to the content that is being said (even if said poorly by Biden) than they used to. I guess we will see.
