    Is there a good replacement? To me it sounds like there is a push for Biden to step down without a good alternative.

    The more and more this continues the more I’m thinking that it is the rich owners of media companies trying to destroy Biden chances, because of his stance of taxing the rich. It feels like that whole noise is being done by media in bad faith, also they are very silent about trump in Epstein files.

      I too am thinking this, Biden has picked an amazingly effective team that is making big changes for the positive for the average person, and has made some key strategic victories despite the courts and Congress being so against him.

      He’s old, he needs his nap time more often than a spry 35 year old, his speech difficulties suck - but the actions his administration makes are not ignorable to the rich, and so I think the rich attempt to make them ignorable to the masses with their control of capital

        You don’t have to convince me, you have to convince Joe voter in Penn’s woods who voted W then Obama and then Trump and then Biden. Joe from Pennsylvania measures his vote by his gut and not so much the issues. He picks a president, not a team.

        And right now all Joe’s hearing is how Biden is more senile than anyone ever thought.

      What’s wrong with Kamala? Seems like Progressives have largely gotten over her record as AG. That’s why they hid her in the first place.

      Someone on Imgur posted a slew of headlines from the Clinton candidacy in 2016. Many of them are eerily similar to the ones that have been dominating msm lately.

    Man they really know what they’re doing with this aren’t they? Keep sowing those seeds of fear. Making Democrats try to panic.

      Yep… they’re making Democrats panic. It wasn’t Biden losing a debate to Trump where he was already trailing in the polls, or that he struggled to complete a sentence without sounding like he had severe mental decline. It is the media who made Biden do that. Maybe CNN drugged him before the debate. Now that you mentioned it… I’m starting to wonder if the media is making Biden support genocide. It has to be the media though, no way it could be that Biden isn’t the best person for the job.

    A second House Republican and a senior House GOP aide echoed those concerns to Fox News, with the aide saying explicitly that Biden’s continued candidacy is Trump’s best bet for reelection.

    “Virtually any Democrat that potentially replaces Biden has an exponentially better chance of defeating Trump,” the senior House GOP aide told Fox News. “Biden staying at the top of the ticket is the best-case scenario for a Republican trifecta.”

      I’ve been saying it since last election.

      If either Biden or trump stepped down, it would guarantee their party wins.

      It’s insane we’re heading into an election where regardless of who wins, roughly two thirds of the country would be unhappy with the results.

          Replacing Biden would actually re-energize the voters and base too. I’d prefer AOC most because I think she’d get the most attention and attract the most voters. I think they should do it now though rather than wait and have the delegates start casting votes to pick someone in the next week or two so that we can put all the support behind a new candidate that can actually do unscripted press conferences and talk policy & that is likeable.

    Not too sure about that…

    It seems Gavin and Harris are polling much worse than Biden…

    If the DNC and superdelegates are going to replace Biden, it is expected to happen at the convention.

      Yes, I think this isn’t specifically the Democrats that are pushing it, it is rich people who own the media, because Biden threatens to tax them more.

      This outrage awfully reminds me of Hilary’s emails.

        I’m not rich and think Biden should step down. I don’t want Trump to get re-elected. I didn’t want Trump to win in 2016, but there were Democrats like you that didn’t listen to reality either.
