If the effort to defeat Trump were as zealous

as the effort to remove Biden, we'd be ahead in the polls.

Are Democrats calling for Biden to step down, really so stupid they think this shit show helps us in November?

Biden has been a great President. He has an excellent record. Trump is a narcissistic, criminal thug. THAT should be what Democrats are hitting on every chance they get. Instead we're witnessing a mass, political murder suicide, taking down one of the best Presidents our nation has had, and the rest of the country with him.

May we all survive the outcome.

If they run him off the ticket, he will become a lame duck president and nothing else will happen.
I also have zero doubts they will try to make him resign the presidency and remembering all of the death threats Obama received, no doubt Kamala will receive more and some nut might even try to make Mike Johnson president.
This path leads nowhere good.

I think we will find out this is a psyop executed by Russian 'political technicians'. They do this in other countries. They tried to get the Joe too old thing off the ground in 2020, but it flopped.

Know when you are being punked. Remember 'her emails'? Another Russian psyop.

And I'm 71. I hope to God Biden stays strong and stays in the race. I believe if he does, Biden/Harris will win.

There are ten times more major corporate donors who support Biden than those who don't. They'll more than make up what the others didn't want to give.

Look what we're running against. If that wins an election, then we're going to see a boom in Canadian population growth.

Most American corporations have done very well under Biden. Sure, a few that have made extremely poor decisions (Boeing, e.g.) have not, but that’s their doing, and not Joe Biden’s fault. The one I work for has practically doubled in size, and we employ nearly twice as many people now as we did five years ago, most of them in the USA.

We know who are the best office holders for us, and who are not, and the Republicans are not the best for us.

On the heels of JFK's assassination Johnson got a lot done, but I never saw him on a picket line, and unions were a force back then.

Here’s what I learned: many of the so-called supporters looked like MAGA on their home pages. Multiple people that looked liberal complained about “not being able to vote in the primaries “ but don’t give any evidence of why they didn’t vote. Some said, “The voters are speaking!” but not one seems able to respond to my comments that I am a voter who spoke in the primaries and this movement seeks to disenfranchise my vote, which is a Repuke play. No response to any of my concerns about invalidating my primary vote except from others who agreed with me. Then I unfollowed them because who needs to see that shit in their feed?
