I’m not sure what the surefire way to win the election is but I am fairly certain a sure way to lose is to spend the next 4 months with Democrats talking about how much their candidate sucks and how we’re doomed

"we're doomed if Biden is the nominee" well, maybe! but you are sure as shit doomed if Biden is the nominee and the story for months on end is "random Democrats call for him to step down one by one"

These guys are true freaks and the more people gear about Trump's Project 2025 the more they hate it. Which is why the centrist media (who wants Trump to win) is instead running imaginary "Trump moderates on abortion!" stories

When polls are saying Biden is up five in Michigan but New York is a battleground and Trump has 40% of the African American vote but Biden has 60% of the elderly, idk man polls are fucked some sort of way. Maybe Biden loses a historic landslide or he’s up by 5 but they’re fucked some sort of way

One reason the leftish members of the caucus aren’t calling for Biden to drop out (yet) is because he’s an acceptable compromise/consensus candidate (Harris is too). Kristol’s suggestion (or some other New Democrat play) would result in dead bodies on the convention floor.
