As a lifelong Democrat who has been active in the national party since 1972, I admire President Biden and enthusiastically voted for him in 2020. Since then, I believe that he has done an excellent job navigating our country through difficult times.
But for months now, I have argued that, because of his low approval ratings and the public’s deep doubts about his physical stamina and mental acumen, he should not seek reelection. After his horrendous performance in last week’s debatewith Donald Trump,I feel more strongly that he is in political free fall and must quit the race as soon as possible.
His campaign’s response to Biden’s stumbling debate has not been a confidence builder. They have argued that the party should stick with him because of his distinguished 50-year career, his 2020 win over former president Trump, and his ability […]
WTF Stephan, you’re just going to skip right over the Vice President Harris!??? I’m a life long Democrat and if the party skips VP Harris, I and a whole damn lot of other people are not voting. Period.
The Democrats pushed aside their voters when they didn’t allow any competition during the primary phase of the process. Now, in front of everyone we see Democratic “leaders” scrambling to figure out how to push “old Joe” aside in favor of a cognitively more viable candidate. The only people who matter, of course, are the investors – err, donor class – who finance this charade. As the so called leaders ignore the voters once again. The most entertaining part for me, dear reader, is watching how the rank and file Democratic sheep acquiesce to the candidate who will be shoved down their throat. If you want to matter in this process you cannot behave as sheep. The leadership has no respect for you, and you will end up on the dinner plate. Want some actual say in the process? Change the structure, and you will change the result. Think and act outside the box.
I am in Wisconsin. We had three? candidates running against ron johnson. I think Sara could have won. All of a sudden all dropped out of the race and the democratic party propped up their own candidate. Ron johnson won. The people running the Democrat party have some kind of agenda that does not support the United states.
Although, I usually respect and agree with your opinion, Stephan, I do not in this case. I think you may be getting too caught up in the news and not listening to your intuition or what is going on out here. I personally do not know one person, from any party, that is changing their vote because of the debate. Everyone I know, dems., Independents and Republicans, are voting for Biden. All of them said, I would never vote fro the other candidate. I also just saw a short interview with Newsome and they asked about whether Biden should run and he again supported Biden. In addition, he is out there campaigning and he said, what the pundits are saying and various news stations are saying is not what he is seeing on the ground. He is seeing A LOT of support for Biden. Also, Kamala, is the only one who can receive all the donations that have been made to the Biden/Harris campaign, Newsome cannot and neither can anyone else. It would all go to Kamala. She is also relatively popular among young people and women. AND, before this debate, I saw a poll that said, for women voters: 58% supported Biden, 36% the Convicted Felon. Many women are also having a very different reaction to the debate than men. Women are outraged at what the press is doing to Biden and want to support him. In addition, a friend of mine worked in T.V. for 10 years and she said, CNN played with the lighting and lowered the sound on Biden’s mic. She was very sure of it. She said, they set him up. I guess it is true a Conservative Oligarch bought CNN. Also, I saw another post saying that the owners and CEO’s of all the major networks are all Trump donors. They’re the ones crushing him,.not the average John Doe on the street. People aren’t as stupid or controlled by the media as people would think, except for those who watch Fox propaganda (that is not a news station). The rich just really want their tax breaks and don’t want their capital gains taxed, which is what they’re afraid of if Biden gets in again. They would rather destroy our country. They also probably love having Trump front and center because he makes them money, I’m assuming.
What needs to happen is the media needs to be quiet and stop telling people what to think or feel and be a truthful news station. They need to get off of Joe’s back, because this is doing exactly what tRump and Putin want it to do,break up and weaken the Democrats. They should also be reporting on the plans the Republicans have to cheat in this election, at the state level, because that is the only way they think they can win. Kamala would win if she ran, I am very confident of that. And I believe Biden will win. The women of this country will turn out to vote for the democrats, even if they’re in a hospital bed, because we are the ones whose rights have been taken away and potentially more so in the future. The only Newsworthy stories this week in politics are the unforgivable and corrupt Supreme Court rulingS, plural, and the recently released Epstein Files naming Trump numerous times. Those are the disgusting disgraceful people that are trying to Destroy are democracy. Listen to the People, not the pundits.
