be nice if someone would share that secret data with us, how they gathered it and where they got it. From our perspective, nowhere NEAR 2/3 of Democrats wanted Joe Biden to step down. Are we being given BS info about polls and performance metrics? I did see a few people here unhappy with Biden for whatever reasons, but the vast majority here insisted we stay the course, myself included. The public information being given to us said the opposite. Hell, I was seeing polls with Joe Biden maintaining a +2 lead. Is this all BS? Who the hell are we supposed to trust now?

The only way to reverse those decisions is to elect Democrats and eventually reload SCOTUS.

The poster never thought, agreed with, nor said that Biden should drop out.

Obviously I can't answer for brooklynite, but I suspect the different audience came into play.

People who take the job of President seriously age a lot in that office.

As you know, it wasn't mentionable on this site without people being alerted on or called unpatriotic.

Cold hard data? No, it was non-predictive polls that mean nothing this far out. Ah well. UNITE behind Harris NOW.
