  1. I mean I must have missed voting for the 2024 candidate in the presidential primary for this upcoming election.

  2. So that’s the bullshit angle they’re going with to try and excuse sacrificing our democracy on an altar to Grandpa Joe.

  3. All eyes are on Jeffries – next move is to him.

    Grijalva and Raskin should both be at the senior leadership meeting with him tomorrow. If others are steadfast with Biden, it will be a divided room.

    Hopeful for a decisive response out of that meeting, but getting the feeling we will only get more equivocating.

  4. This guy reminds me of Boris Yeltsin.

    Some decrepit old man overseeing a decline.

  5. There was a good line I read somewhere, where in 2020 national needs and Biden’s personal ambitions overlapped, but now in 2024 they don’t. Puts all of us in a rock and a hard place.

  6. This discussion is exactly what MAGA GOP could hope for. Keeps them out of the news cycle.

  7. This race is Biden vs trump/Project 2025. I’m voting against Project 2025 no matter what.

  8. We were not given a choice of candidate the DNC chose and then continued to gaslight us about Bidens mental competency

  10. He should already have stepped aside. Fuck him for making those of us who want to see trump defeated have to go through this.

  11. I don’t see enough people talking about voter apathy. There’s a real concern that the poor optics surrounding Biden from the debate onward is going to discourage people who would have voted for Biden from voting at all.

  12. Says the fortunate candidate that if he had run the full primary gauntlet, instead of coasting to the incumbency via tradition, might not be in the position that he’s in today.

  14. To a defiant Biden, the 2024 race is up to ~~the voters~~ *his handlers*, not to Democrats on Capitol Hill

    ​

    fixed it

  15. >To a defiant Biden, the 2024 race is up to the voters

    As voter, I kindly ask you to withdraw your bid.

  16. I don’t want someone for the next 4 years – I want our nomination to lead for the next 8.

    Project 2025 will become Project 2029… our fight to take our courts back and hold fascism to account is not Biden’s, it’s ours and our children’s.

  17. Wow I guess it’s a good thing that he’s losing in the polls to a convicted felon.

  18. Biden is either delusional or has morphed into a narcissist. Maybe both. It has nothing to do with him losing. I could care less about that. It’s the irretrievable loss of America to Trump that matters. If the old prick won’t withdraw then despite him enough people have to vote for him to defeat Trump. If Trump wins Biden , with full justification, will be loathed into the grave.

  19. It was Democrats on Capitol Hill that foisted Biden on us to block the election of a very popular progressive candidate.

  20. So long as he does his goodest we can live with the consequences.

  22. Give us a proper candidate! This double-down sunk cost fallacy of keeping Biden on life support just cements the fact that the DNC does not care about winning. This sweet old man is going to RBG the country

    – lifelong blue dog democrat, still voting for Bidens head in a jar of liquid, but would rather not

  23. Hate to say it, but he’s self over party, country, and humanity.
    Just like another geriatric we’re all fucking sick of.

  24. It’s not like we fucking had a choice of actual candidates. Get fucked with this gaslighting.

  25. If they don’t quit with this crap, after 2020, I’m leaving the Democrat party. I will still vote for Dems but I’m done with the party as a whole if this keeps on. Because they being really gullible to all the right wing frenzy to push this out there and in their minds.

  27. I’m so fucking tired man

    I’d vote a fucking head of lettuce if it was running against Trumproject 2025

  28. The election is always up to the voters, but too many times, they can’t be bothered. This really is the most important election in modern U S. history. Make sure you are registered, and vote on Election Day. You may not get another chance.

  29. Vote Biden in November. There, I saved America. That’s literally all you have to do. Just DON’T vote for the felon rapist alleged pedophile. Vote Biden.

  30. This is not about Biden or the Democrats. This is not just a regular election.

    A Trump victory will devastate American society and the fight against climate change.

  33. Yeah it’s just a damn shame there were no debates or anything… Until Biden already effectively won the primaries going unopposed because people thought he was still either cognitively or physically healthier than it now appears he actually is/was. It feels disingenuous to say it’s up to the voters at this point when the person many of them voted for May not actually exist anymore; and had no alternatives of note running.

  34. As it should be. Quit going down the path of self-fulfilling prophecy. The other guy is exponentially worse.

  35. Biden will either die a hero or live long enough to see himself become the villain

  37. The blame deflection begins. “It’s not our fault we chose the 2 most unpopular democrats to represent us”

  38. I’m concerned that the 2024 race will be up to the courts, not the voters.

  39. And if anyone at this point in the process thinks voting for anyone other than Biden is reasonable, I hope you are white and fit in with 2025, otherwise you are going to have a bad time.

  40. A pick for Supreme Court was also “up to voters” in 2016.

    And then it wasn’t in 2020 because Republicans don’t give a damn about hypocrisy, just gaining power and control.

  42. Good. The Democrats on capitol hill are VERY disconnected from the voters. They listen to the lobbyists way too much. Maybe not as much as the Republicans, but still way too much

  43. But this dumb old fuck isn’t even going to be around to face the consequences of the Trump presidency. My kids and I will. His hubris could fuck us all.

  44. He should have thought about that before going ahead with that debate. Zero chance that he wasn’t told that his debate prep was going poorly.

  45. Yeah we’re fucked lol. Biden is gonna get railed in 24. But congrats to all the weird liberals who are obsessed with him. Great job guys

  47. We could have had Bernie with this attitude, but the DNC said naw twice.

  48. up to voters? primaries weren’t even held in my state. the democrats just decided biden was the guy without any of our say

  49. Biden isn’t jusg defying the voters, he’s defying facts and reality.

    The interview with Stephanopoulos was chilling in how delusional and selfish and stubborn he’s being.
