Himes praised Joe and then said he will lose.

Himes is going by polls.

Some polls somewhere. Real or not. Who knows. Since when do we select a nominee by polls? Are democrats proposing to do away with the primary system and go by polls? Have 20 people line up, and as soon as one doesn't do well in polls, pick another and so on?

No one is going to step in (all 15 of the folks that Himes thinks can beat Trump) and win. The RW media will character assassinate anyone that suddenly becomes the candidate for November.

This guy Himes is looking to make a name for himself in 2028.

No money, no time, nobody voted for them in the primary. How are they going to win?

I'd be wondering if I wanted to vote for somebody that can't possibly win. I would probably write in Joe's name.

FFS, since we're not a cult getting Dems on the same page is like herding cats. Who the fuck do they think everyone will forcefully get behind other than maybe Obama as Kamala's VP? A contested convention is a nightmare. How many of these assholes think THEY should be the nominee? It is going to be a neverending shitshow unless they get behind Biden right now. And the shitshow will end with the end of our democracy.

While we can still have protests, I think we should organize Ridin with Biden marches. I'm fucking livid that they're disregarding we the voters.
