  1. Every time this happened in the past, the party lost in a landslide
  2. The hand-wringing increases voter apathy, also helping the conservatives
  3. Undermining the candidate is a classic conservative move

Maybe get with the programme and deal with stutters and stumbles when democracy is preserved, okay? Or do you lose a bonus?

Man, numerous sitting Dem Congresscritters have called for Biden to step down. You don’t recover from that public loss of confidence. These are strange times - this may be the best choice going forward.

He’s already losing in polls, and he himself has, clearly stated that at least fifty other democrats could beat Trump.

This is not a conservative plot, it’s a very real push from concerned Americans to salvage a losing race.

He should have never been in this situation. Watching videos of him recently have brought me PTSD from a recent death of a loved one who died from Louis Body Dementia. Not saying he has that, I’m saying the way he acts and moves just brings those memories backs.

His polling has been plummeting for weeks, 60% of Democrats want him out, and party leadership is trying to force him to step down. At this point, you’re accusing people of being paid trolls for agreeing with Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.

Disregarding everything else, what’s a pod bro? Like vape pod? A fan of the dolphins? Ugly storage enthusiast?

My first thought went to the Crooked Media guys, e.g. Pod Save America, Pod Save the World, etc…

Because I’m trying to avoid devoting mind space to things that only make me angry, I’d like to ask, is it worth looking them up? Or will they just make me lose slightly more faith in humanity?

I enjoy them, and they’ve got some other good shows under the same Crooked Media umbrella, such as Strict Scrutiny - all about the Supreme Court and court culture. The company was founded by some former Obama speech writers and staffers.

problably all the democrats like me who people pretend don’t exist with memes like this that see no improvement with him stepping down and more than likely see a worse situation.

As an independent, i think this asshole has always been one of the worst possible people the democrats could choose. I still remember floods of democrats begging Obama to reconsider selecting him as his vice president… And he was a lot younger back then.

I’m sure the democrats could fuck this up more with a new person, but the chances are pretty low, even for them, to pick someone worse.

I could see your point before his term but his term has been the best of any president in my lifetime as far as whats been accomplished vs the political situation. Honestly even taking out the wierd political situation. I can’t believe how many things I like out of this administration. Remember though I am comparing to actual presidents and what they produced. Not I would have rather he did X on Y.

I think, with some notable exceptions, Biden had a good administration considering the obstacles faced. I think that’s why it’s all the more important for Biden for Biden to step down. He’s lost public confidence in his ability to win the election - if he loses, he will be blamed for the loss. Assuming that whatever comes after isn’t a 1984 complete rewrite of history, he will be remembered for losing the American Republic to a fascist scumbag. If he steps down now, he will be remembered as a president with a good four years who fought the good fight and decided, in the end at least, to sacrifice his ego for a better chance at saving the American Republic, and that is a noble thing.

The man pretty openly said he wouldn’t step down unless there was no chance of him winning. He doesn’t care if him stepping down is for the best (which it is), he just wants to hold onto power any chance he gets.

Just like RBG. Her legacy is now the loss of reproductive rights for women all across the nation.

This opinion is as wrong as two left shoes. It’s just copium for leftists who rat-fucked in 2016 and are in denial.

How about this counterfactual? Bernie Sanders could have saved Roe by retiring.
