The books have detailed a president increasingly unfit for the task of taking on Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election and his top aides in denial about it, or actively seeking to cover it up, even as the administration warned about the existential threat Trump posed to American democracy.
Journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes were first out of the gate with Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. Revelations included how Biden aides planned for his withdrawal in 2023, then when his disastrous June 2024 debate against Donald Trump supercharged calls for him to quit, “aggressively” argued that he should not, given Harris would be a “disaster”.
Then Chris Whipple, author of a book about Biden’s 2020 win, released Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History. Whipple’s book is slim, at just 204 double-spaced pages. But it hits hard. Ron Klain, a former White House chief of staff, describes debate preparations in which Biden seemed “out of it”, unable to “grasp … the back and forth”, and also says that after the debate disaster, Biden declined to do political work necessary to survive, preferring to enjoy the trappings of power.
I’d still rather Biden in the seat right now.
Biden being in the seat is how you got trump.
No, people voting for Trump or not voting is how we got Trump.
and people driving cars is how we got global warming
Astute observation but completely off topic.
My point is that you’re narrowing the focus of your analysis to only include the immediate proximate causes to the point that it becomes useless.
I thought your point was cars and climate change.
I was committing the same error with another example in the hopes the illustration would give you an aha
Sorry but it didn’t work now I’m thinking about Biden driving cars.
Genocide not being a dealbreaker for y’all is exactly why we’re in this position now.
Now we’re in the worse timeline for a lot of people so I wouldn’t go celebrating the win.
Especially when no leftists are trying to rebuild a functional party that they would vote for.
I spent years working with PSL, and then Democrats sued the candidate off of the ballot in my state.
Let me blow your mind for a minute: just because you don’t pay attention to it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
I pay attention to it but for all intents and purposes it doesn’t exist.
How many people did the PSL have in lower levels of government before Claudia De la Cruz decided to parachute into the presidential race?
So insignificant enough to be ignored, but enough of a threat to warrant the party spending millions to remove her from the ballots.
Get the fuck outta here, bot.
This is the point I was trying to prove not whatever you tried to twist it into.
How many seats in lower offices did PSL get before Claudia De la Cruz parachuted into the presidential race to get her 4,225 votes?
Is there a reason you don’t want to answer this question?
They are working at the lower levels, too. But gatekeepers like you insist they gain seats at the bottom before even considering going for high ranking positions, because you know there are systems in place at the bottom to block change candidates.
Eat shit.
So hypothetically Claudia De la Cruz gets elected president do the democrats and republicans just start voting her laws in?
I’m not a gate keeper just a realist it’s something leftists could use a dose of.
