I believe this is a fake account....

Give President more credit please... tRump/45 has this style...Not President Biden.

I see and always have seen a Biden/Harris Ticket with a win in November....Biden will serve his second term for another 4 years.

even express how pissed I am right now. I don't like being lied to. Biden on the ticket may have been a close race, but it was our best hope. I think we may be completely hosed now.
I'm going to have to go for a long walk and listen to some Motown or something to see if I can settle myself down, I am spitting nails right now.

Say it ain't so, it's a spoof - PLEASE! I hate everything right at this minute, certainly the traitorous R's, but now also Dem elites. They are fucking up the country for their own tax cuts. I never thought I'd see the Dem part totally turn away from every principal it had. I know the R;s did, but us - nah, that wouldn't happen. Only it did!!! The big money folks and their paid for legislators have stabbed America in the back by pushing us to an open convention where the party will tear itself apart. This is sheer treachery!

Damn, looks like I'm going to have to look into living in Portugal after all. Can't live here in Fascist lite America that will come officially into place when tcf steals the election because too many people don't trust D's because they have no idea who we are anymore.

Democrats will lose if their candidate isn't the incumbent per Litchtman's keys. Hating on the old guy is a recipe for Dems to lose everything - House, Senate and Presidency and will allow Project 2025 to be implmented with nothing to stop it. Thanks a lot~~~

Closing your eyes and signing la la la, is not a plan to win an election. Eviscerating the guy at the top is a horrible move and shows disloyalty and zero caring about the 14 millions of people who voted for Biden in the primaries. There were other choices, they chose Biden.

I'm a yellow dog and nothing could make me not vote or vote anything other than D. However most folks aren't like me and most of the people on this board, they aren't dedicated to our party and to liberal social ideas and will be totally turned off by the disloyalty of Democrats.

Based on what?

What an awful thing to say and right after the news came out. People here are really hurting and you say it will prove to be the right decision. That is pretty tone deaf.

It will not prove to be the right decision IMO...which is equal to yours by the way. Grass roots base is ANGRY at the special interests in our party that have forced an amazing President to step down from reelection.

Still going to vote. This time at least. I may, in the future, skip the primaries because they are fixed, but we have local races that matter, arguably more than the President. But other than that I am not lifting a fucking finger. No money, no signs, nothing like that.

But I am done with all the nonsense about "my vote matters" because apparently at least this year it does not. I am done with the "democratic elite" now and forever.
