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.

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.

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.

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.
