the Democratic Party is not mindless trolls and do have independent thought, feelings and will still vote blue.

Is that a downfall, no, it's call Freedom, it's called Democracy.

Inasmuch as it hurts; I do get angry and pissed off. Then I realize that one party wants a dictatorship and the party I belong to wants Democracy.

I vote for freedom.

And perhaps are not looking forward to a possible higher tax rate and loss of deductions under a continued Democratic administration.

They don’t give a shit about our votes. We voted. They do not care.

Of course Con media like Fox, want tRump.

But it is a real problem that the center media don't care who wins. They will suffer if he wins, which makes them stupid or blinded by short-term profit.

The way I get through this is I tell myself so many people are afraid of that fat Orange turd winning again that they panic at ANYTHING and every little bump in the road. Its ok to worry but you can feel better making phone calls or sending some post cards to HELP.

... it takes something extraordinary for me to not support the rest of the Ds on the ballot.

I can remember once, once, I did not vote for our candidate for a state office because I knew them personally and just couldn't.

So much so that I have broken my break-from-DU silence to speak my mind.
Joe Biden is not hurting the Democratic Party.
Putin, MAGARepublicans and their allies are loving it, aiming against us all of the $$$, propaganda, operations and who knows what else they can devise.

Polls can show whatever the maker wants them to show.
President Biden is an Elder Statesman with decades of experience and knowledge, domestic and foreign. He has made great strides despite the ubiquitous obstruction and interference of the MAGAPutin Republicans.

Should he step aside, Kamala Harris would be the only person who could inherit his “war chest” built by constituents, large and small, who support him.

Are those uber-wealthy mostly anonymous donors, Democratic Republican and Other, more worried about our President or about losing in 2025 the ridiculous tax cuts they received from the previous administration? Who are all these (looking cowardly) anonymous donors and Congress Critters stirring the pot against Biden~Harris? What is their agenda? Who do they want for our next President and Vice President? Certainly not the disgraceful felonious rapist former president. And JD Vance?!?!
JD=Just Don’t.

I envision a second Biden-Harris administration. My vision is as valid as any poll ( and any other person’s vision), just saying.
When we re-elect Biden~Harris, Kamala Harris will remain ready and able to take over as President should Joe Biden then need or want to step down. Lots of wonderful options will be considered for a new VP.

Biden~Harris.
I continue to dance with and work for the ones who brought me.
I am not alone.
Sincerely,
🕊🩵🌞💫🎶 thatcrowwoman

Apparently, they are threatening to pull money from down ballot candidates. Is this blackmail?
