I normally don’t even want to get involved in posting a drumbeat of “here’s something about Biden staying in the race” stories because, (1) I’m not sure he should, and (2) it doesn’t “cancel out” the waste of time that is the incessant drumbeat of articles about how he should drop out. It’s like taking uppers to counteract downers; it just doesn’t work that way, it makes everything worse. And the amount of press this whole thing is getting and the way it’s being presented is absolutely fuckin absurd.

But that being said, I want to post this one because I like Elizabeth Warren quite a lot and I think what she says gets to the core of the issue.

Also, if you are a Democratic politician or donor and you want to replace Biden with someone else, surely talking to the press about how he should drop out without anyone in particular in mind that you’re talking to them about as a replacement, and a strategy to get that person into place, should be an absolute last, last, last resort for a way to get that done. And probably not even then.

Biden’s thing of “If you want to replace me then mount a challenge at the convention, that’s what it’s for, and whoever wins, let’s fuckin fight the real enemy” makes quite a bit of sense to me, and the longer this goes on, the less sense the people who are talking to the press about him dropping out make.

So here you go, here’s a story about someone who thinks he should stay in and what she has to say.

    You can really tell how liberals don’t actually believe in anything because you see shit like this in their camp.

    “…not one person has identified that candidate. At all.”

    Unironically posting that as a defense of Biden and somehow pretending this isn’t an indictment on the DNC’s complicity with the Republican Party.

    “Roe v Wade is this elections spoiler”

    … what? Are you aware who lost it and has done nothing to fight back?

    Are we even living in the same reality?

    “Change candidates now?”

    Again, you’re literally arguing against yourself. What a shining example of liberal cognitive ability.

    Let me guess, your next response is “fuck you”

    Pathetic.
