I have a question. Maybe it's a stupid one. [View all]
The past few weeks have been tough for me, as I assume they have been for many others here. I have been a big Biden supporter - not so much in terms of money as some folks (apparently the important ones) but I've tried. I actually wasn't a big fan of him before he got the job but his good works and essential knowledge about how to get things done just blew me away. I wrote a message to President Biden via whitehouse.gov encouraging him to stay the course.
That being said, I am a retiree. Not as old as many folks here but I guess old in comparison to a lot of voters. So, to finally get to my question (I feel like I'm making one of those long-winded videos), has it just been us old farts supporting Biden during these last weeks?
I know we had the protests votes about Gaza during the primary but Joe still won the primaries by a landslide. Nobody that ran against him had a chance. He did one hell of a job as president.
But I'm no longer in the workforce. I don't have contact with young people anymore. So what I really want to know is were those polls really right that so many Democrats wanted him gone?
I was so upset when he quit. No, I was angry. It seemed like a hit job. I felt like my primary vote was sold to the highest bidder. I was ready to change my part affiliation. But now I see this huge surge in support for Harris. While I do appreciate Democrats circling the wagons (not something we're usually good at) I'm just confused about how I was so apparently wrong.
What did I miss? How do I not miss it again?
