been working a lot. I'm just shocked about major dem players are wanting Biden to drop out

[imavoter]

I just want us to win.
It seems very risky to me. I'm really worried.
It shocked me to learn about the things Pelosi and others have said publicly.

This division is being pounded by the media. And they are non stop on this narrative.
Why can't we rally behind our current, sitting President?
Seems like we're shooting ourselves in the foot.

1. It's quite alarming, I've been having vicious, anxiety attacks. If the Democratic Party can't save us who can?

[SADAR]

2. agreed

I've been here since 2000 or so because, back then, I got tired of the lovefest for w's idiocy. Never posted much and tried to keep it light. I was accused of being a troll and being stupid and insipid. No one cared about what I posted, and the last reply I ever got before I decided to quit posting all together was NASTY!! I wasn't here to make new friends, just to get the REAL news.

I've almost posted several times, but decided no gave a rat's rear what I thought, so why bother?

The BS about Biden leaving the election got my attention, especially the Experts here that buy the bullshit that misspeaking means we're gonna lose!!!! Buy into it, why don't ya? Give the orange menace what he wants. It'll be OK, right?

Yeah, I'm pissed and though no one cares what I say, I can't keep my mouth shut...what is wrong with you people. The sure way to lose is to switch now. Egad!!!!!

So, call me a troll, be nasty, say I'm stupid, I don't care.

Getting Biden to quit is pure folly.

Vote Biden or we're all screwed.

I am not on the internet all day, so don't be offended if I don't reply. It's summer, and I have a lot to do.

11. Oh, yeah?

12. It's always cool when lurkers from before the site was founded show up

21. Welcome to DU

[imavoter]

23. Thank you, but Im not new n/t

3. Even if the reports are exaggerated...

... or flat out lies, Pelosi has stuffed her "legacy" in the wood chipper by not coming out forcefully in support of the VOTERS' CHOICE: Joe Biden.
And No one, NO one, has offered any substantial reasons for betraying Biden and the nation. Just saying they have "serious concerns" is bullshit. And those citing his debate performance are... well, I can't express my utter contempt for them with terms commensurate with such treachery. I don't wanna get spanked.

5. Follow the money. These rich donors aren't even trying to hide it.

They are giving interviews to the press, saying they are giving campaign money to those who come out in favor of removing Biden.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

6. Did you see where a Hollywood agent

told a Congressional Dem if Biden doesn't drop out, Dems get no more money from him? It's right in our faces.

[LisaL]

8. Yes, of course.

There have been other articles quoting similar things from other rich donors.

[GiqueCee]

9. That's what I've been...

... screaming from the rooftops. Well, out of 2nd story windows. I'm too old to be climbing on rooftops anymore.

[valleyrogue]

18. They are not going to succeed. Again, all roads lead to Carville. n/t

[LisaL]

4. Money is the reason, as far as I can tell.

Apparently very rich donors demand that be done, and some democrats are falling in line.

[Demsrule86]

16. And that breaks my heart. I am a stong supporter of the Party...but this can't happen. This is putting the welfare of

this country aside so as to get money?

[Amishman]

7. It's not unanimous though, AOC and the Clintons remain behind Joe

and they are quite influential, and are at different ends of our party coalition.

The other thing to keep in mind, the DNC is moving forward steadily with the virtual roll call, which both eliminates potential Ohio mischief but also will finally shut down this circus.

[Funtatlaguy]

14. I think Bernie is still in. Elizabeth Warren?

[Amishman]

19. Bernie is also still backing Joe, yup!

Warren was recently, but I haven't seen anything from her since this last wave of drama.

[Deek1935]

10. Without Biden it is political SUICIDE.

[Fla Dem]

13. Got to wonder if their "Big" donors are putting the pressure on them.

[Demsrule86]

15. Are you now. How interesting...those reports are bullshit.

[imavoter]

22. I sure hope so n/t

[valleyrogue]

17. Pelosi and Schumer said no such thing. It is all insinuation and rumor

cited by "unnamed sources," which means these claims are made up out of thin air.

There was a time when journalists like Jayson Blair were hounded out because they made shit up. Now they are given high profiles and are being pushed as having special knowledge or insight.
