Most out of touch she’s ever sounded.
What else is she or anyone else supposed to say at this point. Biden is refusing to step down. Biden has completely fucked us here by continuing what is obviously a losing campaign and his arrogance has sapped whatever enthusiasm was left for him and his campaign.
That’s nice she got to speak to him but why hasn’t he addressed the people directly?! Please get on live tv and talk to us! A BS ABC interview and calling in to MSNBC is just not enough! I’ll take his and his administrations lack of transparency as a sign he can’t do that job effectively anymore. Prove me wrong President Biden!
The difference between democratic politicians and us is we don’t have to dickride the president’s ego to protect our careers.
Vote Dem. It doesn’t matter. At least with the dems, we get a seat at the table, and we can lobby the party fairly. If the repugs win, they will shut us out like always. The choice is obvious, get over it or go be a repug.
It’s over. I’ll vote for this old, selfish man, but I’m already bracing myself for Trump’s second term. Fuck the dems for circling the wagons before driving them all over the cliff. So foolish. God help us.
Dems are incompetent af. Served the election to Trump on a silver plate lol
Telling voters that a matter is ” closed ” just makes them indigent. If we don’t think it’s closed, you convince us it’s closed. You don’t tell us it’s closed.
Fuck this self centered bullshit. “Democracy is at stake!” Then fucking act like it.
We are one bad interview away from a trump win.
God it would be nice if there was anywhere near this level of focus on trumps debate performance. The guy lied his ass off the whole time. Can we focus on that maybe?
“Now you do what they told you”
You know. I’ve never been one to criticize mainstream media but their CONSTANT coverage of Biden and almost zero attention paid to Trump is disturbing. Sensationalism sells I guess
It’s increasingly looking like the chance is over. Biden is too proud to admit what is evident to every American.
God I hope he can pull out a win somehow, but it seems deeply unlikely. The Democrats somehow feel like our best foot forward to run in this election is “guy who very few people believe will live until the end of our term” with the recycled failed strategy of 2016: “well, vote for us because we’re not Trump.”
Biden better pray he somehow eeks it out, which at this point would be a statistical anomaly. If he can’t, this will be his legacy: the guy who put himself above his party.
My favorite thing about the whole “replace Biden” agenda the Russian bot farm and media outlets are pushing is that there’s a 0 % chance any state with Republican control lets any replacement on a ballot. Biden is the only campaign filed for tax purposes, he already won the primary(no I don’t care that people think it was “rigged” it wasn’t, the incumbent is always given the nomination basically unopposed) and that will open legal flood gates all the way to the bought SCOUTS, and if you think they wont invalidate a democratic candidates win because they didn’t win the primary than I have a business opportunity I’d like to talk to you about.
Is “dropping Biden a clear path to victory” really a card you have on the table?
It’s starting to look more and more like your only choice is rallying behind Biden, even if he’s on life support and talking through an interpreter you all have to get behind him no matter what. This division is a beautiful gift to Republicans. You all better stop.
We need an American Melenchon. Someone who can appeal to people and unite people of many disparate groups against the right, who proposes real quality of life improvements for the regular person, and who is coherent and charismatic
It used to be Bernie Sanders, but unfortunately I think he’s too old for the presidency now
Whoever it is, it’s definitely not Biden
“It’s best not to swap horses while crossing streams.” -Lincoln
Oh get ready for the temper tantrum from the bots.
If the matter is closed, then we’ll be a dictatorship in six months. If the matter is still open, we have a shot at forming a coalition behind a younger, more energetic candidate. I refuse to believe the US is going to fall apart because of the hubris of an old man, who all along seemed to understand the stakes.
Biden’s run for president in 1988, 2008, 2020 and 2024. He ain’t letting go.
insert surprised pikachu face when this whole plan blows up in their face
This is what happens when you try to make an 80 year old go for a second term.
Any replacement loses 100%
The amount of damage they could inflict with neocons running house/senate and Trump is boarder-line irreversible.
Is this why the TIL about Hobson’s choice is on the front page?
Someone in another thread made a good point: AOC and Ilhan Omar have both backed Biden, which is out of step with a good amount of people who are functionally to their right in the party, but this would make sense, because if anyone in the Squad stepped out of line on this issue they would be the ones tarred and feathered for “division”, especially if Biden stayed and lost. So they don’t really have a choice
It better not be “closed”.
Because an election held today would result in a solid Trump victory.
The House and Senate would likely go Red as well.
Anyone supporting Biden staying in the race is just handing the presidency to Trump.
I’ll vote Biden to try and avoid civil war, economic collapse and generations of dark ages. But I’m pissed. He stepped up to save us from Trump and somehow succeeded. A true selfless act given his age and that these are his last years. This time around it’s pure ego. Was it last time as well? If he steps aside first a younger more vibrant candidate the age issue shifts to Trump. As it is Biden shields Trump as he babbles incoherently as they are both going senile. Jill needs to step up here and make him see it.
The matter is closed, eh? Vox populi is ignored? Fine, then Trump shall have the election on a silver platter, you absolute muppets.
She’s just saying there is nothing we can do about it. “The matter is closed” is resignation- she doesn’t want Biden either, but it’s all we have I guess…
I like AOC, but ‘The matter is closed’ is anti-democratic. Biden’s mental health needs to be scrutinized
I love being talked down to.
Still don’t understand why everyone is freaking out about Biden now. The time to freak out was years ago. The debate was how he has looked for basically his entire presidency. Shoulda had a real primary and let newsom or Whitmer or whatever attack tf outta him for being old as dirt.
