To those who insist on replacing Joe [View all]

You were probably responsible for ousting Al Franken too. WTF are you thinking?! Do not send this man into the history books as a one termer for absolute nonsense. Shame on Democrats who are calling for this. SHAME!

The only person who should be making this part of the political calculus is Joe himself. And as far as that goes, I trust Joe.

I originally supported Warren in the primaries. But after seeing what Joe has accomplished, I know he was the right person for the job.

Please stop the gnashing of teeth and fucking get busy working to elect Democrats. Do you really want Trumpers to control all three branches of our gov’t. Because that is what will be accomplished by saying Biden should end his campaign.

I can’t fucking believe I have to say this.

Here's my question: what's their strategy if they want to force Biden off the ticket? Self Esteem Jun 2024 #1
You are absolutely right on all this-- and welcome to DU! DemocraticPatriot Jun 2024 #7
Thank you. Frankly, I am far more appalled by the response to Biden's debate than the actual debate. Self Esteem Jun 2024 #8
Same here. Democrats have something to learn from the Republicans DemocraticPatriot Jun 2024 #9

"Don't necessarily..." Self Esteem Jun 2024 #16
I've already answered your question. Goodheart Jun 2024 #17
Not adequately. And that's the problem. Self Esteem Jun 2024 #20
Quite adequately. Goodheart Jun 2024 #21
"You supported Biden before the debate...now you don't. Why do you consider him unelectable now?" Self Esteem Jun 2024 #22
Hmmmm, poor debate performance vs guilty of rape and 34 other felonies. Yep, Joe has got to go. NoMoreRepugs Jun 2024 #2
Good, if one thinks -- rather than hopes -- he'll do better next debate, town hall, interview, when Silent Type Jun 2024 #3
That's what's strange. shrike3 Jun 2024 #6
I think they are glad Biden is the opponent, just like many here want trump not some younger A-wipe. The whole election Silent Type Jun 2024 #10
Then why don't they act like it? shrike3 Jul 2024 #23
And we've hoped trump would be knocked out by courts, illness, or whatever. But, many realized Biden's best Silent Type Jul 2024 #25
Sorry, if the Repubs were glad Biden was running against their guy, they'd be a lot quieter. shrike3 Jul 2024 #26
trump just came out saying "it will be very difficult to remove Biden." My assessment, he wants Biden as opponent l Silent Type Jul 2024 #41
Trump's all over the place. I listen to what his surrogates say. shrike3 Jul 2024 #42
Bullshit wnylib Jun 2024 #18
OK. So you think it was a one off, to never happen again? Silent Type Jun 2024 #19
Evidently, there are those on this site who don't. shrike3 Jul 2024 #24
Sadly, I don't either. I think he has been having issues for some time. Love him, but sometimes you Silent Type Jul 2024 #28
I don't. And history has given us good examples of what happens when the incumbent is replaced. shrike3 Jul 2024 #29
We are in a new era. I don't think history is a good predictive source. Doesn't mean I'm right. Silent Type Jul 2024 #31
Sanders is old. He had a heart attack while campaigning in 2016. shrike3 Jul 2024 #32
I don't think Sanders in Vermont is the same as a Presidential candidate in a race with trump. Silent Type Jul 2024 #33
Okay. I get it, you think Joe should drop out. shrike3 Jul 2024 #34
I want Bidens and advisors to make an honest assessment. They are the ones that know whether Thursday is likely Silent Type Jul 2024 #35
And what should that honest assessment be? shrike3 Jul 2024 #36
I just told you. If they think Biden won't perform poorly again and can soldier on, we need to get behind him. Silent Type Jul 2024 #37
So if they do "an assessment" and they proclaim him fit to run, will that be enough? shrike3 Jul 2024 #38
It's been fun, but gotta go. Silent Type Jul 2024 #39
Good idea. shrike3 Jul 2024 #40
Franklin, Do you mean Al Franken? MagickMuffin Jun 2024 #4
Damn. Sorry for the typo. Yes, I meant Franken. Mr.WeRP Jun 2024 #5
All these "Stop talking about this!" posts are simply another way to keep talking about it. Scrivener7 Jun 2024 #11
And they're getting weirder and weirder. Goodheart Jun 2024 #13
Yep. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that. Scrivener7 Jun 2024 #14
Lots of trashing today RussBLib Jul 2024 #27

Oh, come on now. Goodheart Jun 2024 #12
Replace Joe posts have gotten really, really silly. shrike3 Jul 2024 #30
