I’ll cross my fingers but I won’t hold my breath.

I’m seeing key Democrats saying that it’s time for him to go in a way that I haven’t seen before.

The whole thing is utterly unprecedented.
You might make the claim that the ‘Grover and the mugwumps’ situation was similar, but even then, frankly not even on the same scale. And at least in that situation the differences were legitimately political (fiat vs gold vs silver vs agrarian).

I think it’s all pretty well orchestrated. All they are doing now is waiting to see which replacement polls better, because Harris doesn’t beat Trump, sadly.

All seems a fait acomplis now, with no clear successor, and Trump successfully bumrushing our entire justice system. Plant vegetables, buy batteries.

Can we stop posting republican rhetoric here or ban republican news outlets? Biden will never stop if people watch his speeches.

One thing that the Democratic Party does almost better than anyone else else is to kick itself in the balls when it really counts
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I mean, the kick in the balls was preventing any semblance of a primary. Biden has never been winning, at any point, in this primary. Shit the guy has made New Jersey into a swing state.
They needed to drop Biden a year ago, 9 months ago, 6 months ago, 3 months ago, and yes, still need to drop him right now. You can’t both simultaneously claim that Democracy is on the line, and that the guy absolutely floundering to even gain traction in this election when the DNC literally didn’t even allow primary challengers.
The only path to victory post November 2023 for the Democrats has been to hold Biden to his bridge candidate campaign promise. He literally flipped the upper midwest states Red with his position on Gaza.
Maybe… MAYBE we can turn this ship around after the previous 8 months of narcissistic idiocy on the part of both Joe Biden and Blue MAGA. Its going to be a fuck ton of work, but if we can get literally anyone who will be responsive to the will of the voters, I think it can be done.
