He’s already decided. He even said it out loud. He’s not stepping down. Everyone of these articles posted is intended to further damage his imagine and persuade people not to vote for him. Everyone that posts them is a Trump loving American hating wannabee fascist.

What an absolutely silly thing to say. I literally just want the best chance to beat Trump and I don’t think it’s Biden. I’m still gonna vote for him if (when) he’s the nominee. Guess that somehow makes me a Trump-loving fascist. Lol.

Biden is damaging his own image, the DNC is damaging the party image.

Biden:

There’s no time to run anyone else!

Voters:

The convention is a month away…

Biden:

I’ma need a month to think about this then

If Biden “isn’t sure” then he can participate in whatever primary we can slap together and show voters what he’s made of while we evaluate other options.

We could have just done that for a legit primary months ago. But as soon as they stole NH’ s delegates I knew it was going to be a shit show.

I just wish more people listened back then.

We should have had people on the street as soon as they pulled that undemocratic shit.

Yeah, it’s fucking nuts.

New Hampshire argued it would not move its primary, because it was bound by its state constitution to be first.

The DNC then stripped the state of its 24 delegates and Mr Biden did not register as a candidate, nor did he campaign in the state. Voting in primaries decides the number of delegates that in turn select the party’s nominee at the national convention in August.

It’s expecially fucked considering how NH has been consistently voting for progressives over party favorites. I forget what bullshit they gave for reasons, but the real reason NH lost delegates was NH never voted for the DNC’s pick

Like, everything about the entire situation was fucked, but it was immediately replaced in the news cycle with:

Biden wins NH in historic write in campaign!

But Biden’s already turning on the media just for asking questions. He’s not going to get much more favorable coverage.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


As some of his fellow Democrats have encouraged Biden to exit the campaign, the president has pointed to support from other elected officials in the party, particularly governors.

Green, who was a physician on Hawaii’s Big Island before he was elected governor, said everyone has parents or grandparents who have moments that aren’t that great or pauses in their ability to express themselves clearly.

Green said the timeline of a few days for a decision anticipates pressure that might be placed on Biden after members of Congress return this week to Capitol Hill.

Harris “is a powerful person, she is also a thought-leading woman, she’s an African American who was (California’s) attorney general,” Green said.

Green, whose wife’s uncle was Biden’s college roommate, also provided insight into last week’s meeting that governors had with the president.

He also discounted any assertion that advisers crafted the meeting to have governors supportive of Biden speak first to quell any dissent.


The original article contains 683 words, the summary contains 158 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
