It’s interesting to observe how leftists who have spent years minimizing threat posed by Trump (bc they’ve been too busy shitting on Biden) are now pretending to be singularly focused on beating Trump (by pushing out Biden). Color me skeptical that they’d happily support Harris.
I'm a leftist, voted Sanders with all my heart whenever i could, biden and harris aren't my cup of tea (i voted for them of course in 2020)
Harris 2024
It's interesting you a centrist
Has not, , in your infinite wisdom you have not, youve only parroted central wisdom , your what's wrong with America, im Aaron the bot, you have been on Twitter continually , a Nazi Forum , you suck
You A heritage Leonard lbot.
Damn you
Agreed, however Aaron
Show your money
that's a loose use of leftists
So Fox News
I think your a punk ass
No body is saying oh you know working rights, people who work should get working wages.
Your just reporting
You paid Punk Ass
So Twitter
Gee why is Aaron on Twitter
Paid whore
Also, the people claiming it’s more centrists and not leftists count about as well as in 2016 when Bernie lost by 3 million votes and so many insisted he got more votes. Innumeracy is a big reason we are here.
The fact they so many tried to skip past without even a moment’s discussion is a pretty big tell. It’s not just criticizing Biden; it’s dissing Black candidates, Black voters, and their allies in every presidential election.
You'd be fine with a Trump presidency. Your politics and his are nearly the same anyway. No wonder you're fine with the Dems running a senile old man as candidate, it's not like it matters to you if Trump wins.
no, we were similarly against biden in 2020 because his odds of recreating a 2016 scenario were the highest of any of the pool other than, like, bloomberg
I only agree with the minimizing part. The idea that “it wasn’t that bad before and won’t be that bad now” runs a lot thru discourse esp among Centrist Dems who still struggle with the few “leftist” policies he has enacted.
If Biden does, in fact, drop out, all the "Harris is a cop" talk is going to come back in a tidal wave of lefty righteousness. That's how it was in 2020. The burn-it-all-down caucus is still a force to be reckoned with... somehow.
Why not! I just read the Newsweek article about Stephen King and his statement blaming RBG for not retiring! Yesterday I read about more boomers failings, another pointing at other people in and out of govt. You know what PUSTULE has over the left?
He has a united front.
Winning.
happy to support Harris, as one of those leftists. She’s got the better shot. Hope you get successful treatment for your terminal 2016 primary brain, the rest of us are worried about the republic
dems will not ‘happily support’ any replacement candidate.
Goodbye Joe = hi trump (and goodbye US, while you’re at it)
hard to believe some people believe otherwise.
Hell no they won't, has anyone forgot the lingo against Harris on leftists social media? And if she can't do it, there is no other viable candidate, and Maher pushing Newsome is just pot smoking drugged fueled mind fantasy. GOP would eat Newsom's lunch due to his bungling of homeless issue in Cali.
Trying to replace Biden as the nominee will open up a GOP lawfare fusillade that will guarantee a GOP win. See below,
Ignore the pundits. They're not politcal scientists, just talking heads. The base is with Biden.
The GOP is lining up to vote for a convicted felon. They never second guess.
Lol imagine if instead of trying to blame the left for the death of democracy you instead tried to get people to pay attention to the unsealed court documentation of Trump raping 12 year olds
What's that BS about "leftists"?
Keep in mind that Dems would be on the right of the political spectrum in Europe.
Add "snowflake" to the mix and you're out of my following list.
This is hardly the right time to divide people opposing Trump's takeover of Planet Earth.
I liked it better when you gave us news stories. And now the stories are behind a pay wall. I get that everyone wanna get their bag, but you're punching down on the wrong people. Both candidates are bad. Biden should be at home playing with his grandkids and having BBQs.
Mmm, on the one hand I've also seen more of this rhetoric from non-lefties, on the other hand I've blocked hundreds of alt-left dirtbags in the past couple of weeks.
Speaking of which, there sure are some blockables here in your mentions!
Biden’s the President. You don’t have to be leftist to have issues with him. Already punching left, and Biden hasn’t even lost, yet. Get out there and make Biden’s case. Maybe he’ll win if you moderates put some work in.
I'll support either in but Biden is not doing what he needs to do to show he can lead and win. These closed door meetings with party elders and teleprompter speeches are not cutting it. He needs a public "show of strength" and if he can't do that then he needs to make way for Harris.
Calling out shallow reactionary Biden-hating “leftists” as the ones who want Biden to step down ignores huge segments of the Venn diagram who are proud leftists AND genuinely concerned for Biden, party, and country. We'll need us and them and everyone else too. Supposed motivations don't matter.
I’m not a leftist. I love Joe Biden. I do not believe he has the capacity to do the job for four more years even if he wins re-election which right now seems doubtful. The actuarial tables say he’d almost certainly die in office, sparking a constitutional crisis. I’d cheerfully support VP Harris.
They can show how much they support her by voting for Biden-Harris. If he can no longer do the job, she steps right in…it’s almost like there was already a plan in place for this sort of thing…😒
I love you, Aaron, and truthfully I know zero “leftists” who fit that description. All the ones I know were screaming Biden was too old in 2020, and were told to stfu & vote for him anyway because “only a centrist can beat Trump.” And they’ve all been screaming about Trump since 2016.
It's all part of their wet dream where they will finally be major force and devour D party, and as all good lefties, victory comes only after total destruction
