Harris is polling better than Biden, but he shouldn’t have ran again in the first place.

It is kind of wild how the Dems have jumped right into forming this particular circular firing squad. It's like the last three years of Biden's accomplishments mean nothing.

Unless there is a change, I am not voting. The smug condescension of the Dem leadership will be their demise- they hold the proverbial gun to the head and say vote joe, or else (Trump). Guess what, F it. Table turned - change candidate or I don’t vote (and I am a meaningful minority % to do same).

He hasn’t called for Trump to withdraw, so this is more urgent? Fuck him.

Biden doesn’t answer questions/give press conf’s for a reason. He’s been a great prez, & the majority, IF they vote, would select a potted plant over DT. But Biden can’t campaign & we’re in a world crisis. We need an articulate fighter against the tyranny of the minority, so something to consider.

Everyone keeps citing LBJs decision to withdraw... which put Nixon in the White House. Why do people keep citing "a decision that caused our party to lose" as a guiding light to follow? Do they even read what they write?

Lloyd Doggett is either trying to form The Suicide Squad, or maybe the 77 year old is just having a senior moment.

Of course it's the guy who represents LBJ's disctrict. How did that work out for the Democrats in 1968?

no thoughts on the content either way - interesting and maybe calculated that it came from a very old man.

All the replies attacking Doggett are missing the point. He's always been a team player and is very likely not out on a limb here. We'll find out soon enough.
