Absolutely love this idea. It certainly seems like the Dems have clued into this based on events today.

This will eventually settle into exactly the same numbers as the Trump Biden split.

The lack of full throated support from anyone in the party makes it clear to me that pretty much all of them want him to go, but are fearful about the level of pressure to apply (which is reasonable).

The mere existence of this story is sufficient to determine that she isn’t committed to him staying in.

I’m not convinced of that. It’s complicated. He can still win. But I don’t think he’s up for four more years, and I’m pretty concerned he isn’t the best option for running a campaign.

The media excuse is a mirror image of the refrain from the right for the past 25 years. You’re sticking your head in the sand.

If John Tester, Sherrod Brown, Tammy Baldwin, Tina Smith, and Michael Bennet are all saying Biden’s a real liability to the Democratic Party then Biden’s weaknesses are probably not just a figment of some Beaudrillardian media hyperreality but are, in fact, real.

That’s what I assumed, but I’m afraid to say it due to the implications. People on this site are sticking their heads in the sand.

I understand Brown and Tester, given their re-election situation, but why Bennet?

It's worth considering why the media - with many outlets funded by or directly owned by oil interests - does so many stories about difficulties of long road trips in EVs and so few about how you can fill your car up at home and never visit a gas station or charger ever. bsky.app/profile/tom4...

70+% of the public have concerns about his age. This problem existed well before the times went off the deep end. His poor poll numbers, including him running well behind his democratic senate peers, speaks to this fact. The times sucks, but they aren’t the sole cause of his woes.

He has had every opportunity to attack Trump. He couldn’t mount an attack in the debate. By contrast, look at Harris’s recent attacks on Trump. There’s a clear contrast there.

I agree. It seems like we often talk about freedom to own a gun, etc., but rarely about freedom from violence, want, etc. I’m suggesting that we balance it out.

Love it! I’ve been a fan of this framing for a while, both because I think it’s more effective, but also because it’s true! The Dems need to adopt a “freedom from” approach (as opposed to the right’s “freedom to” mantra).

You seem like a level-headed guy. I’m surprised you’re comparing Biden’s slip ups to the Obama’s factual errors. What we all saw is much more akin to McConnell’s freeze ups than anything else.

Yes, but we’re not all running for president. I’ll vote for him or whoever else is standing against Trump, but it’s odd not to acknowledge what we all saw last week.

There’s a high level of delusion about the Biden situation on this site. That was not simply a bad debate. Quit blaming bad polls, an evil press, or whatever other MAGAesque excuses you come up with. We shouldn’t want someone as president who is having cognitive issues, and who is only getting older

To reiterate a point I just made in a response: There is a lot of evidence suggesting Trump is incapable of being president--regardless of what you think of his politics. We know from last term he doesn't read, doesn't process information well, and has an incredibly short daily work window...1/

How about rapist? How about making hay with the most recent evidence regarding Epstein? Dems just don’t play the same game republicans do. They understand the power of repetition.

The way I heard it phrased was that his staff is limiting Stephanopoulos to 15 minutes. It could be total bs. We’ll see.

I think the idea that this has been trumped up by the media, and the New York Times in particular, is not credible tbh. No one I know, reader of the times or not, saw the debate and thought he looked well. Many people have reasonable concerns about his ability to win and his ability to govern.

I don’t understand the idea that this is entirely on the media. Myself and all my family members — all committed dems and most of whole don’t participate in the media as such — were extremely worried about him based on the debate.
