Well I bet most people can't name their senators let alone ones from other states. Biden knows who they are for sure though. A lot of people know who Pelosi is though and she just went on national TV to all but tell him to call it quits.
I can't help but notice that every Dem politician pushing for Biden to leave are no-name shitstains I've barely heard of.
This isn't really about the content discussed in the debate though. It's all about Bidens fitness as a candidate.Debate bounces are not unexpected but they are not typically durable, again ask President Hillary Clinton about this. So far the shift from decent pollsters is smaller than usual. I think that feeds into the idea that the vast majority of the electorate is locked in which considering it's a rematch is not a surprise.
What is unexpected is the firestorm that Biden's performance has touched off in the D political sphere that threatens his candidacy. Pulling a full Trump here is likely not an option because the parties are not the same and he can't have a viable shot without both D political support and donor money, both of which are visibly receding along with a lot of D voter confidence.
I thought she said he should do what he thinks is best?Well I bet most people can't name their senators let alone ones from other states. Biden knows who they are for sure though. A lot of people know who Pelosi is though and she just went on national TV to all but tell him to call it quits.
If she wanted to support him as a candidate she would have said so.I thought she said he should do what he thinks is best?

There were a lot of rumours about him before the debate that we all brushed off. Post debate it's impossible to do that.

Vibes. Check.Whenever my mother told me something similar to this there really was no question about what she meant. Same vibe.
Seems like "more people don't think he should run" because the media is telling them he shouldn't run. It's almost like the media companies and their talking heads have been co-opted by Team Trump.That's not what I said. It's that more people don't think he should be running than before and that more people would prefer a different candidate than before. Surveys and interviews have made that much crystal clear.

Or that Biden, on a massive public stage, reinforced all the rumours about him that he and his apparatus have been denying for months?Seems like "more people don't think he should run" because the media is telling tbem he shouldn't run.

Clearly Biden brought this on himself to some extent but the media frenzy over it is frankly ridiculous, especially when his opponent is basically unable to speak coherently.Or that Biden, on a massive public stage, reinforced all the rumours about him that he and his apparatus have been denying for months?
Have he and the apparatus been denying anything though? Or is that yet another narrative pushed by the media?Or that Biden, on a massive public stage, reinforced all the rumours about him that he and his apparatus have been denying for months?
You don’t need the full electorate. Not as if the MAGAtard base will ever vote for a bloody lib. Dems will obviously vote for him. Bet enough ind would be willing also. Especially if Repugnicans still push a MAGAtardI'm not sure the US will be ready to vote in an openly gay man as president, even in 2028. Would love to be wrong, but I doubt it.

Calling 2024 a primary is a rather bold choice.I disagree. Stewart was off the mark and in denial of what the reality is. He’s complaining that the democrats/biden should give the people a choice but they already chose when he won the primary. Everyone knew Biden was old and they voted for him anyway. It’s time to move on a rally behind Biden, not complain because the process wasn’t adjusted to fit his/others concerns.
I guess that one of Bidens selling points over Trump was that Biden was a lot more coherent than Trump and that he could wipe out Trump in a face to face debate.Clearly Biden brought this on himself to some extent but the media frenzy over it is frankly ridiculous, especially when his opponent is basically unable to speak coherently.
You haven't noticed the slurs from the right about Biden having dementia for years and the counter claims that it's just because Biden has a speech impediment?Have he and the apparatus been denying anything though? Or is that yet another narrative pushed by the media?
You really don't think anything has changed? Really?
I mean it was conducted identically to every other primary in your lifetime so is the idea that we never have primaries?Calling 2024 a primary is a rather bold choice.
This. Trumps a dangerous lunatic. But he's been that for decades, it's not news.Anybody waiting for the national media to treat Trump like any other candidate:
More than one thing can be true at the same time. The amount of voters who switch their vote can be negligible but the amount of voters who really want a different option can be non-negligible and increasing.
Given everything I've seen what would worry me is turnout among the Dem constituency.
Are you going to force people to run?Calling 2024 a primary is a rather bold choice.
Well you've obviously tried to get the best candidate you could and ended up with someone that's running neck and neck with Trump! Good going!
Eh? In a system that isn't awash with huge amounts of money controlled by two parties you might have a point.
So no one is switching their vote then? So what’s the problem?
