This is total bullshit. We were all livid that the MAGAts wanted to disregard our votes. I can't believe our party leaders didn't feel the same way then. But now they want to pull this shit on us? WTAF?!

Running or leaking ti the press and trying to undercut his support IS pushing him out.

he knows that if it gets bad enough he will lose donors and support and enough of that WILL hand the presidency to trump. Of course he doesn’t want that to happen so he would be forced to step aside for someone that will get the mo ey and support. Enough to beat Trump? Who knows But that is where we are at. Under the thumb of the donor class.

If they don't think he can win, they're not allowed to say that out loud, or to stop giving money?

but they should stop pretending to be a Democrat if they can't support Democrats who have already been chosen under party rules. What kind of person does it take to tell Joe that they'd do nothing to stop Trump unless he drops out.. Trump is an existential threat to democracy and to the parts of the Constitution that his SCOTUS wants to rule against.
But JOE BIDEN IS TOO OLD.

throught WhiteHouse.gov telling them that you want them to stay in the race. It will be a tick mark in the stay the course column. Let him know we are with him.

them to advocate on behalf of the millions of people who voted for Biden in good faith. I talked about feeling disenfranchised and that the Party is subverting the Democratic process and undermining the Constitution. I hope they take heed.
