AOC Backs Biden Amid Growing Calls for Him to Drop Out: ‘He Is in This Race and I Support Him’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came out in support of President Joe Biden amid growing calls in the Democratic Party for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.
You're viewing a single thread.
Rare AOC L. This is absolutely the wrong call.
Everyone who's paying attention can see that Biden is heading toward a loss with tragic consequences and only digs himself deeper every time he tries to convince people that the sky is green and replacing him is impossible.
Fact is that, despite spending two campaigns saying the opposite as a tactic, Biden wouldn't lose any sleep over losing. He knows that, because he's rich and privileged in the US, he'll be ok when fascism comes.
Apparently he cares less about the vast majority of the population who emphatically WON'T be ok than he does about his own ego and career. Yet another reason why he's definitely the wrong man for the job and would have been even if he WASN'T on course to lose. Which he is.
I'm not a Biden fan, but sewing discontent is not helpful.
The "I would be at peace" thing is taken out of context as you well know. Biden knows as well as anyone how bad a Trump presidency would be, but how would you have him answer that question? The only possible answer is to say you'll give it your best and deal with the outcome.

I'm not sowing anything. My point is that the discontent is already there and it's only growing.

No. He said the words in the context of whether he would care much if he lost. That's how I presented it.

For most people, but not the ones he cares about the most: himself and his rich owner donors.
how would you have him answer that question?
"Yes, losing to the last president and first dictator of the United States of America would obviously be devastating. That's why I'm doing everything in my power to avoid it"
The only possible answer is to say you'll give it your best and deal with the outcome.
No it isn't. See above.
