Zoe Lofgren, #what-the-fuck-ever

1. Drip drip drip.

The faucet continues to leak - Lofgren's not nearly the only one today. None of this is good and can't just be waved off.

2. Is there any reason to think

that Kamala Harris would take the Presidency in some vastly different direction than Joe Biden would want it to go?

I don't understand why Joe shouldn't be perfectly satisfied to be her close adviser when she succeeds to office. He's very interested in policy areas where she will benefit greatly from his help during his reduced working hours.

4. The question that should be asked is there any reason to think any other Democrat would WIN the Presidency...

...in a more convincing fashion than Biden apparently cannot?

Polls do not show this. Every Democrat (aside from Michelle Obama) polls equal to or worse than Biden. So why cause all this chaos just for equal chances? It's stupid.

10. If VP Harris succeeds to the office prior to the election

her incumbency invalidates all prior polling.

She'd be the first woman president. Don't you think that would bring a ton of votes her way?

[W_HAMILTON]

12. Contrary to having a honeymoon phase, I think anyone other than Biden that secures the nomination now...

...including Kamala, will face blowback because of how this is all unfolding.

And being the first woman president didn't bring a ton of votes Hillary's way -- it damn near hurt her in the end because of the hidden (and openly) bigot votes. I imagine Kamala will face the same problems -- probably even worse so because of her race as well.

And Kamala is already on the ticket. Biden doesn't need to step down for people to vote for her if they want to already, knowing that if anything were ever to happen to Biden, she would assume the presidency.

3. That was brutal

She's basically saying "if you continue running, I'll support you but you can't win."

[W_HAMILTON]

5. Then she is saying no Democrat can win.

Because no Democrat polls better than Biden (aside from Michelle Obama).

Which is ignorant on its face and flies in the face of reality in a deeply divided country where sentiment is already baked in given that both candidates have been a nominee in multiple presidential races now.

Sad that so many Democrats are being led around by the nose by donors and propaganda pollsters.

6. Private Letter written yesterday

To JOE BIDEN

Where is it being shown ? On the internet ?

7. She believes the raving lunatic that spoke last night can be elected President?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?????

[maxsolomon]

15. A raving lunatic HAS been elected president.

We all lived through it.

[rzemanfl]

17. I probably could have phrased that better.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. At least she had to the guts to put her name on it.

Unlike the others who only spoke to reporters anonymously.

[Emile]

9. It's all about money. Screw over the voters

and who they voted for. If she can't throw her support behind our Democratic President, Zoe needs to step aside.

[Sewa]

19. No it isn't, it about winning the Presidency

If you are implying Rep Lofgren is corrupt, you are way out of line. 💀👎

[lame54]

11. She looks old and says stupid shit on tv...

She should retire

[Bettie]

14. I stab you and all of the Democratic Primary voters in the back and twist the knife, but

I do it iwth "great respect".

So, if she gets her way (along with the others who have done the same), when we lose the election because of this, who will she blame?

And how does it feel to tell the voters of your party "your votes never mattered. Not even a little bit, if I want something different"?

Or, is she just doing this for the money some rich guy is willing to give for her betrayal?

16. If not fake,

that'll be hard to walk back.

18. This really saddens me. Biv Donors yanking their chains? Pollsters? I never respond to text msgs polling, endlessly

begging me for money, after the first donation not accepting that, doubling down in the same breath repeatedly.

I delete all these text msgs, I never get them in my email anymore. I had to actively unsubscribe in the 2020 elections.

But I always vote in every election and it's always up and down the ticket for Dems.
We had our Primary a few months ago, and Californians overwhelmingly voted for Biden.
California Dem leadership know this, so these open letter pleas begging Biden to drop out is beyond troubling.
What's their game? They think they're gonna just slip in and nominate a super hero with multi billions just in the nick of time? Who would that be pray tell? Someone that California didn't get the opportunity to vote for in the primary?

and what about all these other states that had already voted in their primaries?

Who? I know they don't want Kamala Harris. I think that's primarily the issue right there.
Biden wins, and something happens to him health wise and Kamala steps in.
Big donors don't want her near the oval office. Why the hell didn't they game this out before now?
