Chris Hays said, "For Biden the stakes couldn't be higher."

[Trueblue Texan]

Then he interviews Mike Quigley. No, Chris. The stakes couldn't be higher for THE NATION!!! I'm fed up. Goodbye MSNBC.

[MOMFUDSKI]

1. Now he has Quigly on saying Joe should

go.

[brooklynite]

30. Quigley is in an absolutely safe seat. This isn't self-preservation.

[FloridaBlues]

2. If Biden is forced out you can kiss goodbye to winning congress

Or Senate. They will piss off half of the party perhaps not coming out to vote. If any candidate is so scared of losing they need to get out and campaign more to secure their seat.

[LonePirate]

5. Some in the party want him to stay in and some want him to be replaced.

I'm of the opinion that more Dems and Indies will vote for someone else if he stays in compared to the number that will vote for someone else if he drops out. There are no perfect solutions here. I think a lot of people on DU are insulated by the bubble of this site and do not realize how much damage his debate performance inflicted on a lot of voters.

[Cha]

10. Like Who are they going

To Vote for?

I don’t think we’re in that “bubble” accusation.

[LonePirate]

11. They likely won't be voting with the exception being those who think the two parties are the same and will vote red.

[Cha]

17. Yeah? I'm Not Giving Up 🕯️🕊️💙🌊🇺🇸

[FloridaBlues]

13. I'm not on the bubble of this site. Active member of Democratic party

For many years. As State committee person and candidate. You and I disagree how
Dems will react if Biden is off ticket and the following result of that. It won’t be a magical unity going into a brokered convention.
Have a good one✌️

[LonePirate]

16. There will not be a brokered convention. It will be Biden if he is still in the race, otherwise it will be Harris.

It is pure fantasy to think someone other than Biden or Harris will be atop the ticket when the convention arrives. No one except a Dem on the fringe would oppose either one at the convention.

[W_HAMILTON]

19. Well while you're out of the bubble, better check that thinking.

Because one of the main reasons why many want Biden out is because they think it gives them another chance to get their guy as the nominee.

When they realize that it will be Kamala, they will bitch again about the dastardly DNC depriving their guy of his rightful nomination blah blah blah and we will have 2016 all over again, but much worse.

[Trueblue Texan]

21. Respectfully, I think that is a lot of bullshit.

Everyone even THINKING of voting for Biden knows how high the stakes are. If another candidate steps in, we will lose our asses. Check out some history.

[PortTack]

41. Debate performances don't play a role in election outcomes ...period

Historian Allan Lichtman, Who Predicted 9 of Last 10 Presidential ...
They don't: "Zero," he said when asked about the impact of Thursday's debate. "Debates are not predictive of outcomes," Lichtman said.

[PatSeg]

3. I think I'm going to have to go MSNBC-free this weekend

Time for old movies and binge-worthy TV programs. In between, I'll hide out here.

[badhair77]

7. I'm with you.

I'm fed up with most of MSNBC and their guests. The stress is shortening my life.

[PatSeg]

8. Same here and it often feels like

I'm already on borrowed time. I need to hang in there, as I want to see how the story ends.

[Trueblue Texan]

22. Same. I just can't take anymore gaslighting, especially there. nt

[PatSeg]

25. I didn't even watch the ABC interview

I'm not going to torture myself while contributing to their ratings.

Right now my expectations for the media are very low, though my support for Joe is as strong as it has ever been. He doesn't have to prove anything to me, but right now a lot of journalists do.

[GP6971]

33. Well, Hi. You sound nice.

[karin_sj]

35. Holy crap!

Someone flew out of the cuckoo's nest and ended up here. Not for long I'm sure.

[Wednesdays]

34. Enjoy your pizza. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

36. Do you kiss your mamma with that mouth

Seriously your attack was uncalled for.

[wryter2000]

37. I think Al Sharpton will be good this weekend

But I'm Netflix mostly. i suspect the weekday MSNBC folks will be worse than the weekend ones.

[PatSeg]

38. I'm watching Bodkin on Netflix right now!

I have a few episodes of House of the Dragon to watch as well, not to mention tons of old movies.

[oasis]

4. Is the media seeking out 2nd rate Dems to

publicly call on Biden to step down?

Sen Mark Warner, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Rep. Raul Griajalva, Rep. Mike Quigley.

[Cha]

12. Yeah and those of us for Biden are told we're "in a bubble "🫧

[oasis]

14. Funny that no prominent Democrats are calling

for Joe to step down. I guess they’re in the bubble with us.
We’re in good company, Cha.

[Cha]

20. Right On Dude 🕯️🕊️💙🌊🇺🇸🍀

The Best Company Ever!

🇺🇸

[emulatorloo]

27. See Fetterman on this:

Link to tweet

"If you want to betray the president like that... you're entitled to your opinion, but enjoy your three minutes of fame."

WATCH: Sen. @JohnFetterman responds to Sen. Warner assembling a group of senators to meet to discuss a path forward for Biden.

[oasis]

39. Fetterman tells it like it is. nt

[Cha]

42. TY!

I’ve been caring for my granddaughter today and on the bus too.. so when I get home I can do some major catch up.

I appreciate your help!🕯️🕊️🌊🇺🇸💙

[Cha]

43. Great Feedback for Sen Fetterman!

Link to tweet

TY Aloha!

[PatSeg]

40. And that feels like gaslighting to me

I've been a Biden supporter for over 20 years and always with a very open mind. Meanwhile, I am aware of all he accomplished in a short period of time, quite unlike any president in my lifetime.

Damn, all he wanted to do was serve. I think he left his political ego back in 2016 or so. This is a truly good man with exceptional skills who wants to make the world a better place. And for that, he is getting torn to pieces.

I guess the good guys are only allowed to exist in the movies or an Aaron Sorkin script.

[2naSalit]

6. I stopped watching at that point.

[doc03]

9. Biden says he isn't going anywhere. But Chris Hayes had a 2 hour show talking to everyone

he could find that wanted Biden to drop out. He knows damn well Biden is not going to quit so
why keep beating that dead horse.

[Cha]

15. Clicks

Ha

[Self Esteem]

18. Chris Hays pushed the Tara Reade story in 2020 without properly vetting it.

He's a toad.

[Trueblue Texan]

23. I used to enjoy watching Hayes and listening to podcast. I'm done with him now. nt

[MerrilyMerrily]

24. I remember that

It infuriated me.

[Renew Deal]

32. Politicians say a lot of things.

[doc03]

45. They certainly do nt

[JohnSJ]

26. Hayes has always had a bias against Hillary and Biden, so I am not surprised

[Cha]

44. Yes he has.. I can vouch for That!

TY!

[BComplex]

28. I've always been a huge Chris fan. Not any more. He's gone off the cliff with Nicole, Ari, Alex and

even Rachel. Rachel is actually the biggest disappointment of all. She's always been the beacon of truth. Now she can't wait until Biden abdicates.

[Renew Deal]

31. That comment seems fine to me.

He's talking about Biden politically. The nation thing is also true if Biden remains the nominee.
