Tbf, he should abdicate to a younger Democrat. I don't want to "settle for Joe".

I was pissed when Bernie Sanders had the rug pulled out from under him.

I really want to consolidate, but not under Joe Biden.

Here's the thing - what is the viable alternative? We are talking the orange blob otherwise, which means fascism, and the end of democracy in this nation.

Is Biden perfect? Of course not. Is he too old? Yeah, most likely. All the purity ponies and the so-called "independents" that are setting us up for another "win" (EC only) of the orange blob are not really thinking this through...

Biden started out well in 21 and 22 because he tried to appeal to his progressive base. That being said, Biden is a fucking moron if he believes his neolib pivot didn't hurt his poll numbers.

It's not too late, Biden needs to pivot back to progressive policies instead of this blame the voters BS like Hillary tried. Blame leaders, not voters.

It says a lot that this piece doesn’t even acknowledge Biden’s advocacy for Israel’s genocide as any kind of factor in his sinking support.

fuck the hill, right wing owned and biased trash

Just look at the word they chose for the title, implying they are just shouting down any dissent at all. Fuck these media fascist lovers

Another example: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/18/media/jimmy-finkelstein-the-hill-ukraine/index.html

Beyond his relationship with Solomon, Trump, and Giuliani, Finkelstein (owner) was Solomon’s direct supervisor at The Hill and created the conditions which permitted Solomon to publish his conspiratorial stories without the traditional oversight implemented at news outlets. And he has kept a watchful eye on the newspaper’s coverage to ensure it is not too critical of the President.

Except for Tom Daschle who gave a pretty non-committal response, the names in this article seem like nobodies. Why are the statements of random consultants a news story? Who cares what the "deputy campaign manager for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential run" or a "senior policy adviser at Holland & Knight and former senior policy adviser to Vice President Harris" says?

I sure hope these aren't the names that come up when someone asks "who are Biden's closest allies".

This is the best summary I could come up with:

But some Democrats say comments like Axelrod’s aren’t helping especially as Biden continues to face poor polling numbers, encouraging the party to instead coalesce around the president to give him a boost.

That followed a New York Times and Siena College poll earlier this month that found Trump leading Biden in critical battleground states.

Senate Democrats are also now pushing back hard on criticism from within their own party, dismissing concerns about Biden’s electability as counterproductive.

Messina, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, has been an advocate for Biden on social media, posting on X this week, “Polls a year out are about as good at predicting election results as a magic 8 ball would be.” Plouffe, Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, has long warned against Democrats ‘bedwetting’ and worrying about political outcomes.

Meanwhile, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been polling with a high favorability in recent surveys, which some find problematic.

The campaign has a year to show voters the difference they’ve made and the significant legislative success over the first term, amidst extreme odds,” Nelson said.

The original article contains 1,223 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 85%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

If you don't like Joe Biden, they only way to tell the Democratic party to change is by voting for Jill Stein.

They will keep sabotaging the primaries to get trash like Joe Biden until you leave and make them change.

Brocialists being dragged kicking and screaming even to vote for their own guy in the primary then wonder why the policy heads pivot right towards independents who will actually turn out to vote.

Ultra Lefties being the self righteous collaborators with fascists since Weimar and the Spanish Civil War.

May those of us who actually need solidarity die quickly and quietly so they can feel oh so cathartic for "avenging" us.

I only voted for Biden because it was against Trump. I cannot believe with both being near 80, and one facing life in prison, we're doing this same shit again. I don't care. I'm not voting. Give me any reason this makes my life better. Otherwise, let it burn.
