US Politics, July 2024 - "Will you just drop out, man?"

I can tell you who is left, it’s all of the resistance libs in my Facebook timeline. Lots of comparisons to “but her emails” and all that.

nobody has the muscle memory, the templates.

or the flair for drama. the dnc has no drama. a little bit would probably help them a great deal.

i think it is great that congressional dems are leaking privately that he should drop out, while supporting him publicly, making sure all the headlines are negative and that his status as the nominee solidifies. real double whammy

xxp tipsy don't forget the inspirational RBG memes (barf)

they are GREAT at begging for money though, i'll give them that. very experienced at it.

xps- isn't colbert like the king of the resistance libs?

Brutal new poll from @AARP in WI, considered the best of the blue wall states for Biden. In a field w/3rd party choices, Biden trails Trump by 6; Biden attracts only ~3/10 of young voters, men, indies and non college voters. Poll done by firms polling for Biden & Trump campaigns

When the AARP thinks you're too old

Ridin with Biden is going to be such a self own and totally in character for these silly fools

I'd rather not ride with someone who should not be driving

If we encourage him to drive more maybe he hits a tree...

^lol. I imagine Biden plowing into several dozen people like that octogenarian in Santa Monica

get in loser we're going for ice cream

I don’t even have the heart to see if the Onion is having fun with recent events

Make sure there are no pro-Palestine protests within a hundred miles of Joe's Camaro

The free speech zone was moved to Canada

Biden Team Holds Rapid-Fire Series Of Public Events Featuring President Waving From Very Far Away

They should get him out there looking youthful, riding a skateboard, doing TikTok challenges…

"hello, fellow kids"

You know honestly I feel like the chances of them pulling some stuff like that aren't as low as we might hope

did i dream it or were they already using some AI stuff with him?

Joe's other dogs were a failure but he could expropriate the skateboarding bulldog I see on Tiktok.

A jaw harp on Jimmy Fallon could win over America.

they should construct an entire "village" full of fake buildings and campaign volunteers to wave at biden as he drives through! you're doing your best and that's good enough, sir!

NEW: After today’s House Democratic caucus meeting, @RepJeffries tells me: “We had a caucus meeting today that gave members an opportunity to express themselves in a candid and comprehensive fashion. And those discussions will continue throughout the balance of the week.”

That seems...good? It's not "we're all on board and moving forward."

I saw a quote saying the vibe was like a funeral in there

xp - it's worse, as carne said some posts back, the public-facing backing while leaking and grumbling privately is the worst combo. All the negative stories, still going to be stuck with Biden.

IMO, it's a waste of energy now - if he was going to go quietly it would have happened and the Democrats aren't going to be willing to do anything else.

I'm holding out one hope: that polls keep coming out that are worse and worser. Mondale/McGovern/Goldwater-level bad.

they'd also have to show Harris doing measurably better than him though, if we have a couple weeks of polling showing that Biden is toast but Harris has a good shot the news will pick up on that and I feel like pretty much everyone will turn against Biden then

it won't matter. we are talking about the Democratic Party here.

unsurprisingly, I hate Biden and think he belongs in a cell at the Hague, but since “human rights” is a concept for the west to utilize in disciplining foreign colonies, that will never happen. Fuck Joe Biden.

*former foreign colonies

And the news will absolutely not report on any positive developments for the Dems. I think the last few weeks have only underscored just how badly every major media outlet in the country is positively salivating at the eyeballs and clicks of another Trump presidency.

One good angle at least

the longer this drags on the more it hurts the Biden, Harris, yer granny on bongos, whoever is the nominee. The schock from the SC ruling was the right time for Joe to bow out.

The (Gina) Schock was the right time for Joe to Go-Go?

Sorry…

sounds like they're now circling the wagons rather than jumping ship

is yer granny on bongos too old for the presidency?

The reporting here indicates that the Dem caucus believes Biden is toast, but doesn’t have the courage to say so publicly. After eight years of imploring Republicans to stand up to Trump. pic.twitter.com/3f4VS66xNS

Yer granny on bongos from Gay Dad isn't...

watched a little of kamala at a rally and she's good! mostly because she can talk and actually make good points. she brought up comparisons between trump/biden that biden would never be able to make. it would be too much talking and information. she was going at trump hard.

biden right now in front of NATO...ehh...i already know that he can do teleprompter speeches.

The (Gina) Schock was the right time for Joe to Go-Go?

Sorry…

if she did end up being the nominee I don't think Trump would even debate her because of this.

That creepy Harry Enten is back with more bad news: If Biden loses, Congress gets real hard to hold onto even one chamber of Congress.

Downballot effects of a Biden loss are clear for Democrats. The House would likely be gone. GOP has opened up an edge on the generic ballot.

If Biden loses, the chance of Democrats holding the Senate is close to zero because of the map and WV being an easy GOP pickup. pic.twitter.com/8tMK2giqDK

(pardon the double Congress there, just wanted to make sure it was clear I was talking about Congress)

Gotta imagine the 60-vote cloture rule disappears very quickly in an all-GOP Congress with Trump as president, these guys aren't messing around.

depends on what lisa murkowski wants to do, i guess
