Ultimately, the decision rests with Biden on whether he stays in, and the president has been insistent this week that he’s not going anywhere. But these sources say that Biden is done — whether he drops out before November or loses to Trump on Election Day.
It’s not Biden’s decision.
The DNC is a private organization with a nonbinding primary.
They could put Steamboat Willy on the ballot if they wanted to
His cabinet could also use the 25th ammendment and it pretty much kills his candidacy as well.
Apparently he hasn’t had a full cabinet meeting since October 2023. Wouldn’t surprise me if his chief of staff is shielding him from the cabinet specifically over fears of them realizing just how compromised Biden is mentally.
You mean Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, former management consultant for Bain Capital?
I didn’t need to know that. The rot goes deep.
Jesus. That’s even more insidious. More selfish. “We can’t let the people with the power to do something know they should probably do something.”
Great plan. Because they’re just opening up the country to bear the burden instead of his cabinet—whose fucking job it is to take care of this shit.
Jesus Christ that pisses me off
I’ve been saying that we know it’s a huge gamble to have another candidate at this point. But that gamble is worth it if they’re seeing that running him is a guaranteed loss. What the fuck
If that’s not hyperbole, maybe take a break from this clusterfuck and have some fun. It’s not gonna get better anytime soon. Have a great weekend.
Yep. There’s lots of options.
It’s just the people who can do it, are ones Biden put in power, so they don’t want to.
Just like how we found out lots of shit needed changed after trump was president, there’s lots of shit we need to change after Biden too.
We can’t just keep pretending another president will always do the right thing. We need an exit strategy for presidents like we’ve had the last two terms that routinely out themselves over the country
But practically, he could split the party.
Trump basically made the same threat back when he was an “undesired” candidate. They couldn’t get rid of him, because he’d just trash the party.
But practically, he could split the party
Bruh who the fuck would vote for Joe Biden if he wasn’t the Dem nominee?
trump? Yeah, that threat has teeth, republicans are stuck with him
But Biden? He doesn’t really have supporters, he has people who want to stop trump.
Not to mention, it’d be supremely out of character for him, not to mention the people around him, for that to ever happen.
Trump? Yeah, he’d do that in a heartbeat. But if Biden were forced out, I don’t see anything like that happening. I’m no great fan of the guy, but he’s not that detached from reality.
Biden/RFK 2024. That’s a scary thought.
If he does decide not to run again what are you going to post about going forward?
Probably about how the Dems replaced Biden with the wrong candidate or something like that.
I mean it will almost certainly be Harris and then the news media would walk as close to the sexist line as they can with criticisms.
Look at what’s already been said by her by normally left leaning outlets, they tear her down all the time
I know I’ve blocked Ozma before. I’m certain of it This should prevent me seeing their posts, right? Is blocking users something a server admin can disable?
The heck? Ozma is a treasure.
Hopefully…Hope. Simple Hope that we get a viable candidate to vote for.
There’s two candidates now, the way the system works is you vote for one or the other.
Now if you want a different person you pick someone in the next primary and volunteer in their campaign and donate money to them.
Or you sit on the sideline sniffing your own farts
You know this is the last time we get to vote right?
No I don’t.
Explain why.
Keep hammering on the criticisms of our politicians and government.
But without Biden you’ll be lost!
There’s plenty more in the Dem party to go after. If Trump/GOP wins, I’ll be going after them too.
You’d wait until they win to go after the GOP?
Why not start now?
They’re not in power and also, I do share links about Trump and the GOP.
They control two of three branches of government.
I don’t think it’s right to say that Republicans aren’t in power just because they don’t currently have the presidency.
If Trump/GOP wins, I’ll be going after them too.
I took you for what you were saying, should I not do that?
I’m far left. I’m not a Dem or Republican. Politicians are not our friends. Not somebody you “want to have a beer with.” They work for us. We need to hold their feet to the fire.
The problem is. You can and should hammer the parties regardless of who has the presidency. You don’t. And it’s odd.
Who is currently in power?
Conservatives hold the house and the current regressive activist Supreme Court It also takes longer to build up administration than to destroy it. We’re still clawing our way back from 2016
They both are. Republicans control the house and much of the senate. Effectively control the judiciary. Democrats don’t control much even when they have a majority and strictly only control one of 3 branches of government at the moment.
Dear Biden Campaign,
Joe has done good work and it’s time to rest and enjoy his remaining time with his family. He can’t win it. Please fake a medical emergency so he can drop out with some dignity and let Harris run with it.
Signed, Don’t Want My Trans Kids Jailed Or Killed
And this article was written before he called Zelensky Putin and Harris Trump on the same day.
Jesus I am so fucking sick of having to walk on eggshells around the president’s ego. Trump was far worse, to be sure, but this is still very bad.
hey it’s return2ozma posting another bullshit article about nothing, wonderful.
This muckracking and hit pieces focusing on the one viable counter to Trump are becoming tiresome. Why not present an alternate besides “let trump win.”
The alternative is to run a candidate that can generate real enthusiasm for the election, polling shows Harris is +4 vs Biden already.
