It would be incredibly stupid to switch out Biden now. Who would we replace him with thar we’re so sure would beat Trump with this little time left until the election? If the plan was ever going to be to replace Biden, he would have had to step down at least 5 months ago.

Maybe someone could loosen a carpet near the stairs

Found Putin’s Lemmy account

You think Putin would do us a solid?

No. We voted, Biden won.

Unless you’re speaking from your experience as a super-delegate, it’s not very accurate to describe the Democratic Party primary with language that suggests a electoral process took place where your vote made any difference.

After the Wall Street Journal published a story earlier this month raising concerns about Biden’s health, Democrats slammed the article, deflected the criticism, and characterized it as a hit piece.

And now it’s blown up on them,” said Thomas Kennedy, a former delegate to the Democratic National Committee who resigned in January over Biden’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

There are mechanisms to allow for an open convention to nominate another candidate, but the party has avoided that option as a last resort and it would be too late at this point, said Nadia Ahmad, a DNC member in Florida.

Days before the debate, the New York Times published a story about how the president was battling “misleading videos” showing his age-related deterioration.

Very quickly into the debate on Thursday evening, Biden’s campaign was battling on another front: how to stop the bleeding as coverage swirled about how the performance would affect his chances at winning the November election.

During a routine, post-debate call with surrogates last night, campaign staff acknowledged that the debate was rocky, according to a source who attended.
