Thank you! ucrdem Jul 2024 #75

Tru dat! No such thing as a perfect candidate, but once the votes are counted WE MUST UNITE! What other choice is there? InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2024 #78

You hit the nail on the head. If Biden pulls out we have no chance and this country will go full on fascist. onetexan Jul 2024 #98

I'm not gonna say we have NO chance if Joe pulls out, but it's def gonna be a LOT HARDER... InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2024 #105

I know I don't agree. How can he say that when Trump winning is the end of democracy in the US? pnwmom Jul 2024 #3

WHY EVEN POST THIS TRIPE?!!! ZZenith Jul 2024 #4

Exactly...wait till the media gets done with this!! PortTack Jul 2024 #6

Because the media would not have noticed what President Biden said if it wasn't posted here on DU? nt kelly1mm Jul 2024 #56

Because everything said here and on other SM sites is spun to something that seems very dark! PortTack Jul 2024 #80

Yeah, I am thinking of that Mad Men elevator scene where one of the underlings of kelly1mm Jul 2024 #83

It's already in the media. He said it during his interview today. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #88

Because President Biden said it? brooklynite Jul 2024 #8

Was that all he said in the interview? ZZenith Jul 2024 #14

Sounds like the later...doesn't it?! PortTack Jul 2024 #15

I post things that are newsworthy. brooklynite Jul 2024 #17

Did he say "I'm ok if I lose?" ZZenith Jul 2024 #19

From the transcript. brooklynite Jul 2024 #22

So you are misquoting him. ZZenith Jul 2024 #33

I'm interpreting what he said. brooklynite Jul 2024 #35

That he's going to do everything in his power to prevent that from happening. ZZenith Jul 2024 #40

"the goodest job as I know" sounds wrong. yorkster Jul 2024 #82

Yes -- he said "as good a job as I know" Moosepoop Jul 2024 #85

Thank you. I knew that could not be right, yorkster Jul 2024 #86

Of course not. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2024 #79

What would you like him to say? choie Jul 2024 #25

What candidate doesn't say "I don't intend to lose"? brooklynite Jul 2024 #26

He has said that. He said at least once in the interview. yorkster Jul 2024 #28

And you say the same thing over and over... brooklynite Jul 2024 #31

He sure didn't say he'd be "at peace". yorkster Jul 2024 #42

BINGO ucrdem Jul 2024 #55

BOOM!! THERE IT IS!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2024 #69

This is in LBN... regnaD kciN Jul 2024 #54

Axios is a blog, not a major new site. ucrdem Jul 2024 #57

I have every confidence if I had used another source someone would still complain. brooklynite Jul 2024 #59

Reuters headline: "Biden Digs In." Summary: "Biden: 'I am running and gonna win again'" ucrdem Jul 2024 #61

Please interpret for us what President Biden's answer to the last question was. brooklynite Jul 2024 #64

Interpretation belongs in Editorials. Presenting it as news (LBN) is deceptive. ucrdem Jul 2024 #67

Excellent points ucrdem... why assume the worst about our candidate, I can't figure that out. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2024 #73

Axios: "Every item will ... inform, analyze and explain." ucrdem Jul 2024 #91

LBN has all sorts of threads like this. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #92

Axios already smearing VP Harris, so not surprised. Also see "Not knowing what else to do, Dems shit on their own" emulatorloo Jul 2024 #7

So your concern is that Axios reported something President Biden said? brooklynite Jul 2024 #11

No. My concern is Axios & your other favorite outlets are going to try to destroy any Democratic candidate for President emulatorloo Jul 2024 #16

One secret to avoiding bad news stories is to NOT MAKE NEWS. brooklynite Jul 2024 #18

Too much pundit brain, Chris. After you've read that Robert's excerpt I sent you, get out in that beautiful city you emulatorloo Jul 2024 #23

But that isn't what was said...so why pick that out of the entire interview? PortTack Jul 2024 #24

I'll Reply HandmaidsTaleUntold Jul 2024 #39

My point ....why pick that line out of a successful interview and act as if it was worse than the debate PortTack Jul 2024 #77

I have to disagree with this one statement... Think. Again. Jul 2024 #93

Agree!! The media is gonna twist it..so yes I really wish it wasn't magnified. Can nothing ever just be PortTack Jul 2024 #21

Not True HandmaidsTaleUntold Jul 2024 #37
