Why are they conceding to their opponent? Are they stupid?

Classic spineless Democrats. Now instead of them letting a weak, senile Joe Biden run the headlines for weeks, now they can have a strong, resilient, powerful Trump run the headlines for weeks. What an incredible presidential campaign run by Biden and the DNC

I really don't understand the Dems logic here, if anything Trump gaining this momentum should be another reason for them to push Biden out but I suppose that's too logical for them

They are surrendering. 

They don't think they can beat Trump anymore and don't see the point in alienating their relationship with Biden. 

They have accepted that Trump is going to have a second term

That's my read of it

Who the fuck cares about alienating man with a foot in the grave already? It still doesn't make any sense. Dems are all the kind of person who never speaks up about any real problems because they just don't want to be "that guy." When the room is full of people who don't want to be "that guy" then problems never get solved and we just waltz our way into hell hand in hand together.

I think before the Trump assassination thing they were gearing up to force Biden out.

The problem is they don't think they can win anymore. 

I think they think of Biden as their friend. If you no longer think you can win no matter what, why not just let your friend lose. Biden seems to want the chance of being on the ballot 

Also this doesn't put a loss on the records of someone else like Harris, Whitmer or Newsom

No political party should ever think "we can't win, guess we just give up now." That's just a rediculous thing to think or do, especially if we are to believe that Trump is supposed to be this existential threat to democracy. You don't just throw in the towel against existential threats. You keep fighting against it tooth and nail until you win or it kills you.

So either they are idiots, cowards, or they don't actually believe what they've been saying this whole time.

Hey man don't shoot the messenger. 

I'm not in charge of what the Democratic party does. 

Bernie would be the candidate if I were


It's quite clear the DNC don't think Trump means the end of American democracy

I'm heated about the topic, but none of it is towards you, I promise. I just wish the Dems would fucking do *something* about our society slipping towards fascism instead of motorboating their donors.

Yeah it seems to me that the dems don't care about winning at all, they wanna seem like underdogs so they can continue to push the narrative that republicans are ruining everything and democrats can fix it rather than actually doing what they say because that's harder and maybe they want more right wing shit too idk about the motive
