Popular Post Communion Posted February 21 Popular Post Posted February 21 (edited) I mean, the progressive girlies tried to warn y'all. We have been talking about it in the 2024 election thread for weeks (cc: @shelven). Biden's public sentiment is getting so bad that things like policy and politics are going to matter less the more Biden leaves the base upset and disengaged from pushing back on right-wing media narratives. We're at the crucial point where the negative media narrative will reach such critical exposure that it'll settle into the roots of public sentiment. By that time, changing policy and trying to woo engaged progressive activists won't matter. He'll have already lost disengaged independent voters who think he's old and suffering from dementia. Then brow-beating Free Palestine millennials will achieve nothing. You'll have also lost the suburbanite couple making $250k a year who will vote for the No Labels weirdos because they find Trump trashy *and* think Biden is unfit. We're about 8 weeks away from the public consciousness of "Biden = old" soaking in the same way "Hillary = corrupt" did. Everyone who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primary should be ashamed for the mass death and suffering they've guaranteed with Trump winning 2024. Edited February 21 by Communion 3 17 1
Big Bad Wolf Posted February 21 Posted February 21 How on Beyonce's Earth is Joe Biden to reassure Americans? Most see him as too unfit and unwell for a Presidency, how is that going to change in a few months? He just needs to stand down. 1 3 1
shyboi Posted February 21 Posted February 21 It's not too late to pick another decent candidate, there's so much at stake already Democrats NEED to win this one 3
Onyxmage Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Who cares what this man says? People who are going to vote for Biden are going to vote for Biden and People who are going to vote for Trump are going to vote for Trump. The only thing that matters is voter turnout as well as any independents in swing states. Biden will be the nominee but all of you Biden Haters can keep dreaming for a Marianne Williamson presidency one day. 1 3 1 6

And even then, they can't overlook the first black woman VP, who WILL lose in a general no ifs, ands, or buts. 1

ClashAndBurn Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Just now, shyboi said: i refuse to believe this, how can they be so stvpid to think good ol' joe have a fair chance? howww? What they thought was irrelevant. It was up to the incumbent to see he was too old and too unpopular to have the confidence of the majority of voters in his capacity to lead. He alone had the hubris and narcissism to believe that he was the only man for the moment, both for 2020 and 2024, and we will all reap the consequences of him not doing the right thing for the country and stepping aside. 1

Danny789 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I think there’s a 20% chance that the plan is for Biden to drop out once he secures the nomination. That way the establishment democrats get to decide the nominee and not the people.

The whole Democratic machine would rally around her. Same if it happed after the convention. That’s just how it works.

My favorite thing about the intersections of this site is that you'll have faceless users with dozens upon dozens of posts filled with incoherent ranting about how specific pop stars are evil and horrible human beings, but these same people then get offended when you take issue with the leader of the US giving full-throat support to genocide. 3 2
kimberly Posted February 21 Posted February 21 we want AGE CAPS and we want them NOW! so tired of old-ass war-crazy neoliberals running this country
Cruel Summer Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I think that the big risk at this point is that Biden continues to be so unpalatable to young voters, independents, and more that his presence on the ticket depresses turnout and impacts other Democrats enough to give Republicans control of the Presidency, the Senate, and the House all at once. You hear so much about how scared everyone is of Project 2025, but we have a man at the top of the ticket that very well may deliver the reality of Project 2025 right to our country’s doorstep - and honestly, I don’t think he’ll even realize that it was his presence on the ticket that did it. 2 1 1
Johnny Cash Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Voting for the lesser of two evils doesn't work? Shocking...
slimfem Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I’ll be voting to save democracy, not for Joe Biden. It’s that simple. 1

That’s not written anywhere, but even if that does happen it would still make more sense if they wanted Harris because she would never win a primary
nadiamendell Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Oh, I see the empty box is cackling uncontrollably at posts that make them uncomfortable again. Kamala, is that you girl? 5 1

Happylittlepunk Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Even of Joe Biden steps down I have little faith that someone like Kamala Harris will win against trump. She very unpopular even among democrates. The DNC needs to have several nominees at once too see who has a higher shot.
