1. Who ? Another back bencher who outside of his district no one heard of.

I guess his district has some magaloons in it and he’s campaigning for their votes.

11. Or donors are dangling their dollars at him.

I doubt he needs MAGA votes, but it seems like donors may be finding inroads with these no-name Democratic politicians, bribing them to pressure Biden into dropping out.

And tell him we stand with Biden, and it's too late and too dangerous to change.

4. I just called (202) 225-4835 and left a voicemail.

I said we've already voted in the primary, we voted for Joe Biden, it's way too late to insert a different candidate, and they are doing harm to the election by not standing behind him.

5. Where TF was Brad 6 months to a year ago? Under a rock?

Does Brad have access to actual medical information about Biden that we do not?

I think Brad should consider passing the torch to the next Democrat to fill his own seat.

7. He calls himself an "Independent Problem Solver"

so, conservative Democrat. Also, well-off white man (multi milliionaire). Shocking, right?

Interesting that these are the ones who don't like Biden. Maybe the big problem is that he's working for the little guys (most of us) rather than the rich.

9. Chicago is rife with politicians like Quigley and Schneider. Vallas ran for mayor as a democrat then "turned" MAGA when

he lost.

Durbin is suspect too since he backed Vallas.

What is it with them expressing their “love”? When’s the last time Schneider met with Biden? Sounds like a bandwagonner.

JUST IN: @RepGregStanton releases a statement calling for President Biden to step aside as the party's nominee. Two of the state's three democratic US House representatives have gone public asking for Biden to withdraw from the race.

He's been pissing me of lately not just for this but he's also one of the no party let's just get along group. Forget what it's really called but fuck him. No more votes for him and yes I contacted his office.
