I wish the Biden team and the Democratic Party as a whole fought even half as hard against Republicans and FOR Americans as they have been circling the wagons for Biden.
Or fought that hard against Republicans as they do against progressive
When you’ve lost the support of shitlibs like Rob Reiner it’s time to go
Well, damn!
What is a shitlib and how is Reiner one?
Just a slight step above BlueMAGA, and not as high as BlueAnon
It’s way too late in the election cycle to find a replacement
I disagree. The convention is still not passed. We’d just need to be exceedingly careful in how he’s replaced.
Need name recognition, with the younger crowd I can only think of Sanders and AOC (too young) but neither have that with the older groups
Actually AOC will turn 35 before inauguration day so she’s not too young. Unless you mean too young to win.
Then she could run but I don’t think enough people over 50 know/support her
AOC is unfortunately way too divisive to win, IMO
I love both of them, but Sanders is too old. He may be sharper than Biden, but he’s a year older; we can’t ask Biden to step down because of his age and then replace him with someone older. AOC would be my choice for President, but I’m willing to bet too much of middle America thinks she’s a communist or Antifa or some stupid bullshit to vote for her.
At this point, it would be safest to just replace him with some middle-of-the-road centrist and hope for the best. Newsom would probably be fine, and even Kamala Harris’ polling numbers are looking halfway viable now. But Biden is done, they need to accept that and move on.

People are literally begging to repeat 1968 and it’s blowing my mind.

No it’s not. There’s someone who has done nothing but prepare to replace Joe Biden as President for the last four years…
Kamala can’t win. Nobody likes her. Has anyone else gone from Zero to the Presidency in 4 months? 🤔
You can do it Joe!
This is the kind of leadership he needs to show to convince everyone he’s still viable, but a letter on it’s own is not going to cut it.
I hear he called in on Morning Joe as well, I need to run that down.
Edit Found the clip:
I… don’t care.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about. Look, George. Think of it this way. You’ve heard me say this before. I think the United States and the world is at an inflection point when the things that happen in the next several years are gonna determine what the next six, seven decades are gonna be like.
That’s not Churchill taking a stand against the Nazis (or, in modern terms, Macron sacrificing his own party’s chances to keep the fascists out of power). That’s President von Hindenburg acquiescing to Hitler becoming the Reichschancellor in 1933. He doesn’t fucking get that we are probably not going to have meaningful elections for the foreseeable future if he loses.
He isn’t addressing this as the clear, present and existential danger that this very much is. He does not have his head in the game. It is becoming more and more obvious that he does not even understand what the game is, nor does he have the temperament or psychology to play it effectively if he did. I dearly hope to be proven wrong, but at this point, I’m more or less resigned to the fact that I’m probably going to end up moving to a different country in the next year.
Right, but in order to convince everyone he’s still viable, he would need to be out in public all day every day (when he’s not in the situation room), making off-the-cuff comments, answering unscripted questions from randos on the street, and accepting every single interview request. He’s not doing any of that, because he’s not physically or mentally capable of it. There’s no shame in it, but it’s the reality. He’s too old to do the job of campaigning for president, so he’s definitely too old to do the job of president itself.
