It's not like anyone is actually voting for him. No one is Biden or bust. People are just voting against Trump, same as last time. Nothing is actually gained by keeping the 81 year dementia patient on the ballot.

tankies and bernie bros are to blame

You're welcome

What are the odds Obama hid behind a curtain and pretended to be God asking him to drop out?
-
Uhh...Joe! It's uhh, me, uhh...God. Uhh, I'm here to ask you to drop out. Uhh, let me be clear, you will uhh, lose if you don't.

it's "over" but you replace the "o" with "Joe" (which sounds like "Jo", so the o is actually still there, but only in the quantity of one)l

tbh, I hope he stays in. Biden is the true physically embodied face of the Democratic party. Don't let them don a new mask, let the people see the monsters for what they are.

Hey, be nice, it's not like Democrat policies are set by half-senile warmongering bigoted geriatrics loyal only to Wall Street plutocrats.

Newsom's time is come

"Appears to accept" is such a funny phrasing for a headline about a sitting president
-
At this point it seems like he's just processing it and waiting to the right time. Is there anyway he actually doesn't drop out now?
-
Idk. But if there's anything I've learned when trying to predict Democrats, it's that we should never underestimate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I don't think they can let him drop out now.
They're stuck with Biden now because it would empower the rank-and-file to replace him. If he drops out it'll prove that pressure from the voter base matters and that we can influence the Party. That's poison to Democrats, they can't have us questioning them!
That’s a good take. But donors are threatening to pull funding, which is also something the Democratic Party cannot abide.
But why? Donors don't care that he's old. What is motivating them to pull funding?
imo the donors are worried people won't vote for him. It's still the voters driving this.
I don't think it's pressure from the voter base that's doing this. Every primary voter that thinks he's an old racist piece of shit thought that in 2020. There's no grassroots campaign from party voters to back a specific alternative primary candidate; Obama and the DNC successfully killed off any possibility of grassroots party activism for a generation. I think the recent media "discovery" of Biden's longstanding medical issues is being driven by US capital worrying that he looks publicly weak, and a publicly weak president is the one thing they can't have when the president's primary role is to distract the public from the reality of bourgeois rule.
"Publicly weak" to whom?
The voters.
Yes, it's being driven by the donors and media, but they are still responding to voters. It's unfortunately spontaneous and disorganized, which is why I think he's going to be the nominee, but I don't think you can deny the public matters in this.
It's all about the donors I think, all the initial articles wouldn't shut up about the donors
Yes, but why are the donors so concerned? imo it's because they see how voters are reacting and, in turn, reacting to them.
Donors don't care if Biden is old. They don't care if he dies after he's elected. They just care if he can win.
I get what you're saying, but I will continue to hold that he's cooked.
Inshallah 🙏
Nah, they push him out and get to handpick his successor /avoid a primary. It's elegant and it's joever.
I think the real reason he could stay in is that nobody wants to run against a guy who survived an assassination. Everybody believes it means he has to win for some reason
Its not like there's a downside to being a permanent minority party. Letting us unwashed masses think we've got a say in what the Democratic party does every now and then shouldn't be a problem.
