Key quotes:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) met with President Biden Thursday night to relay the sentiments of the House Democratic Caucus regarding his reelection bid, as concerns grow within the ranks about the incumbent’s ability to beat former President Trump in November.
The meeting — revealed in a letter to colleagues Friday morning — came after Jeffries spoke with a large swath of House Democrats in the two weeks since last month’s debate, which prompted concerns about Biden’s viability at the top of the presidential ticket. . The meeting took place after Biden’s high-stakes press conference that evening, a source familiar told The Hill.
Jeffries said he passed along the “full breadth” of thoughts he heard within his caucus.
Or literally any other Democrat.
The choice is not, nor has it ever been, binary.
It’s always been binary, thats how FPTP works.
Blue Maga == Believing literal fantasy
If you vote for a third party in November you are helping Trump win. The primaries are over. It’s either Biden or whomever the DNC picks now. There are 2 options, 1 of which might be up in the air.
No one said that. This is you living in a fantasy.
You being vague and argumentative without clarification is trolling. Sad and lame.
No one suggested a third party candidate. You are projecting a false narrative onto what was said.
Got a present for you
I’m not saying Biden’s oldness is not a problem. I think most people with eyes can see that it is. I’m saying that the idea that the voters are panicking and abandoning him is 1,000% media created, because they remember what the alternative is, and also that strategizing what the best path forward now for the Democrats is, and then executing the best strategy (whether it winds up being Biden or not) is a much better use of time than freaking out in general and attacking Biden relentlessly while offering only vague untruths (with no particular strategy) for what the party should do instead of him.
(Unless you want Trump to win, in which case it’s an excellent use of time)
That polling may change if one of them actually gets their face out there.
…Except for Clinton, or maybe Newsom. They already have a lot of name recognition, and TBH is extremely sad that everyone is polling just about as well as Clinton. Swayable people I know do not like her.
Still you are not wrong. I think Dems are in trouble either way.
So let’s have one of them get their face out there
If there is someone the Democrats want to replace Biden with, let’s hear the name, let’s hear the plan. If they are keeping it secret because they think telling the media the plan will produce a bad result in some way, I can assure them that it will produce less of a bad result than just going on evening news shows every day and wailing about what an emergency it is that Biden is old and how they’re going to lose the election now. I can pretty much promise that producing the plan will produce a better result than that will.
True dingdong, true
