Why do people think switching out Joe at this point would solve anything? [View all] Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 OP

Because the people who want to switch out Joe don't want to solve anything. sop Jul 2024 #1

That's ridiculous. Goodheart Jul 2024 #49

If Kamala Harris were the nominee or top of the ticket then they could still use campaign funds AZProgressive Jul 2024 #2

And the media is already starting to do to her what they did to Hillary Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #4

I would add that the media is also responsible for trashing Joe for his age for years! stevebreeze Jul 2024 #77

Campaign funds is not enough LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #7

This may seem cynical, but I disagree DFW Jul 2024 #30

I'm glad you acknowledge the "coastal elite" problem. shrike3 Jul 2024 #47

Plus, there's the fact that knives are already sharpening for Kamala. shrike3 Jul 2024 #46

And while Trump might not GOTV like in the past, GOP fence sitters would turn out in force against Harris Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #61

It's a pity that we have to run scared for supporting Kamala. Goodheart Jul 2024 #51

Yep. The force$ behind Trump are the real threat. They know he can't beat Biden on his own, he's damaged goods Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #68

When there is an outside threat, Republicans circle the wagons and start shooting at the enemy. shrike3 Jul 2024 #48

Agree with you! at140 Jul 2024 #29

That's absurd. Goodheart Jul 2024 #52

It's "interesting" that the prominent voices suggesting this never mention tanyev Jul 2024 #13

Some media dolt just did an op-ed as how the Dems have to replace Biden AND Harris. shrike3 Jul 2024 #50

Honestly. tanyev Jul 2024 #66

Somebody is already going there. shrike3 Jul 2024 #82

Also, who would volunteer to replace him? They wouldn't win and they would torpedo their chances pinkstarburst Jul 2024 #19

There is widespread sentiment that Biden is not our strongest chance at winning. Otherwise, he would be ahead now. LonePirate Jul 2024 #42
