  1. No shit. That, & he’s got the incumbent advantage & has already beaten Trump..

  2. I’m worried because it’s a year from the election and the incumbent President is losing in the polls

    If he loses any more support from minority voters, he’s going to go down in flames

    Really, he might be toast already

    Edit: I was clearly a bit too sneaky on this one. All of the articles I posted are from about a year out from the 2012 election. They are also talking about how polls look bad for Obama and that he might have already lost the election on 2011. The point is, same old same old shit from the media. Don’t listen to predictions a year before an election. They are all just guesses by people with an agenda

  3. The reason he shouldn’t drop out is because he is crushing it as POTUS. Look at the numbers. And if he were to fall ill, we have a very capable VP ready to swoop in. It’s a winning ticket 💯.

    He beat Trump fair and square once, and he will do it again.

  4. We are already losing when the opposition has us discussing this.

  5. Yes, I think we should keep him. He’s the best we can get in terms of charisma and experience.

  6. I can’t think of any options I’d rather vote for than Biden.

  7. No let Biden run, he needs to be the one to rematch trump.

  8. Lmao conservatives really pushing this narrative as if it’s gonna distract from the fact that the country has rejected their forced birth agenda time and time again.

  9. The time to get rid of him was like six months ago, we’re good and stuck with him now.

  10. I mean that’s one great reason out of like, a zillion reasonable ones. As opposed to the zero remotely good ones to the contrary.

  12. I don’t why a primary a year out has to be a mess. Have some debates, some votes, and settle it at the convention. Plenty of time, except Biden isn’t dropping out.

  13. “No, he shouldn’t.”
    Yes. He should.

    “No, he shouldn’t.”
    Yes. He should.

    “No, he shouldn’t.”
    Yes. He should.

    “No, he shouldn’t.”
    Yes. He should.

    “Well it’s too late now.”

  15. Dude has the most productive first presidential term in my lifetime and these dumb mother fuckers miss Trump’s clicks so bad they’ll say anything to help make it happen. Not a single other potential candidate is more electable. If they’d stop jerking off to shitty pills and talk about his accomplishments and how dangerous Trump is it’d be more obvious.

  16. Biden beat Trump once, and I’m betting he can do it again.

    When compared to the alternative, Biden is the only sane choice.

  17. Biden’s done a better job handling Trump’s mess than I honestly ever expected. The guy’s just been an all-around good POTUS, and if he had Congressional majorities we could get so much more done for working class American families, which he’s already shown is a main focus of his presidency. Seeing him show up and support/stand with striking union workers was a big deal for me. No other POTUS has done that in my lifetime. He’s also not a slick-talking polished salesman, he comes from a Blue Collar background and speaks from the heart. I truly believe he cares for people.

    I’m fine with a 2nd term of Joe.

  18. What kind of headline is that? Every primary is less than a year before a general election. Primaries are not a bad thing. It gives candidates a chance to make their own case, gives attention to the party and the winner goes into a general election with momentum.

    Biden had to go through a primary to be President. Obama and Clinton had one the longest bitter primaries in recent memory and Obama won the general in a landslide. So I don’t buy this line of thinking.

  19. There’s another even better reason – he’s doing a terrific job!

  21. Why would he drop out? Has he indicated he might drop out? Can we go one day without the media trying to fabricate problems for Biden that don’t actually exist

  22. Biden was never dropping out and no serious person is even thinking about this. it is stupid commie and GOP fantasy.

  23. Joe is too old, but he has likely been the best president of my lifetime ( I am GenX ). I am also concerned about a contested primary.

    I do think that Gretchen or Raphael could be a better candidate than Joe. We are running out of time and they are too much of team players ( a good thing ) to contest.

  26. Look, I’m extremely critical of Biden from the left but it’s silly to pretend he wouldn’t obviously be the favorite just based on incumbency bias.

  27. Getting re-elected, going through inauguration, and stepping down immediately to go enjoy retirement would be such a power move.

  28. Biden is a great president. He has my trust. Social media & Fox News not so much.

  29. The real reason Biden shouldn’t drop out is that he’s been doing a fkn great job.

  30. The dude has done a shockingly good job

    America was expected to be in a massive recession and Ukraine was supposed to be annexed and student loans were never to be forgiven and no new infrastructure deals were likely

    He’s massively outperformed my expectations

    His one criticism is he’s old but frankly he’s kicking ass

  32. Wait is there really a “Biden should drop out” narrative ?

  33. No shit, it’s almost like he never should have run for re-election in the first place

  34. Two other real reasons. 1. He’s doing a good job, and 3. He’s going to win.

  35. The real reason Biden shouldn’t drop out is that he has done a good job. If he’s up for another go, I’m ridin’ with Biden.

  36. I mean, I think having been a pretty good president should be enough. But that’s just me.

  37. The real reason he shouldn’t drop out is he’s a super successful Democratic President who has accomplished several goals that Democrats have been trying to get done for decades, like the biggest climate action law ever, a historic bipartisan infrastructure law, a manufacturing bill, a gun violence prevention bill, etc. He’s drastically expanded healthcare, gave Medicare the ability to negotiate drug prices and capped the price of insulin. He’s been an awesome president

    Edit: If a President Bernie Sanders had accomplished half of what Biden has New Republic would be cheering his praises from the rooftops everyday, not writing these weak, lukewarm, backhanded “supportive” articles.

  38. Three kinds of people want Biden to drop out. MAGAs, Russians, & imbeciles.

  39. It wouldnt be contested. Nobody would dare to try out debate Gavin Newsom on TV. The guy is just too quick. Hes got some baggage, but he would pulverize anyone in a debate. People underestimate that politics has little do with actual policy these days. Its all vibes and perception. Newsom isnt progressive enough to be painted as some radical by Fox News. Hes white. And hes a man. Do I agree with it? No but thats where we’re at. Biden resigning or dying is the only way hes not on the ballot in 2024 at the end of the day. Shame he doesnt get his flowers hes been a steady hand in tumultuous times. People have short memories.

  40. There is only one word, one name everyone needs to remember when voting in 2024, if you have any desire to see the USA retain our precious Democratic Republic, and that is Biden. Don’t even think about not voting, that is a vote for Trump, don’t think about 3rd party, that is a vote for Trump. Each and every vote that is not for President Biden is a vote to dismantle our democratic representation in government. Biden. Biden. Biden. Nothing else matters this next election other than to make sure President Biden gets a second term, the alternative is a path towards darkness, period.

  41. obviously, that’s why nobody ever primaries their incumbent. Why is this news? do they think we’re too stupid to remember, I don’t know, *any election*? Oh wait, I guess that could work

  42. Why would Biden drop out? He’s a fucking great president.
