We’re cooked. The conversations of universal healthcare, freeing Palestine, student loan forgiveness…really any policy discussion is toast. AOC on her instagram tonight is out here talking about how Biden stepping down isn’t feasible and she knows how to win elections and blah blah blah. We’re so far removed from making the changes in this country we need that one of our once leading voices of change is the last defender of Biden. It’s crazy, there’s literally no one we can turn to.

AOC doesn't have any power within the Democratic party. You guys think that just because we like her that she's super influential. She's not and if she attacked Biden it probably helps him.

If she came out and called on Biden to drop out that actually probably helps him. It rallies the Liberals to him.

The Democratic party is a liberal party. She's probably close to a socdem.

It's far more relevant that Pelosi and Schumer and Jeffries are calling for Biden to drop out. 

They've pretty much done so openly now. 

Adam Schiff is super close to Democratic leadership. he's been on the record calling for Biden to drop out.

There are reports that Obama has asked him to drop out

The liberal leadership of the democratic party is against Joe Biden now. If you're somebody like AOC there's nothing you can bring to this fight at this point.

If bidens selfish and refuses to work with Democratic leadership he wasn't going to cave just because AOC called him out. None of AOC'S voter base was going to vote for biden anyways because of his support of genocide

Biden was a United States senator for longer than AOC has been alive. She does not have clout with him. If Biden's willing to burn his relationships with people like Pelosi and Schumer who he's known for decades and possibly even his relationship with Obama who offered to pay for his son's cancer treatments, then there is no way he caves because AOC asks him to resign.

AOC attacking Biden literally does nothing. In fact it might help him.

But defending him that much? She is supposed to be an alternative for the Democrats in the future but she gets out of her way to defend Biden aka the status quo. I know she will never be a socialist or communist, not even a social democrat but she clearly likes or tolerates Biden's actions, for her to continue doing this defense for him.

I just hope everyone stops saying AOC is different (she is the less evil neo liberal but still she is one) than any democrat. She is rising in the bourgeoisie party for a reason.

It's just tactics. 

If Biden is extremely stubborn and willing to burn his decades long relationships with Pelosi and Schumer and also willing to burn his relationship with Obama who offered to pay for his son's cancer treatments, then there's no chance that he's going to be convinced by AOC to resign. Biden was a United States senator for longer than aoc's been alive. There's zero chance he respects her to a high degree. 

So on the one hand attacking Biden for AOC does literally nothing.

Now let's look at the scenario where Biden is extremely selfish and refuses to drop out. He becomes the nominee and he is the lesser evil compared to Trump in every single way.

I get down voted for saying this but Biden is the best US president of my lifetime. Yes he's been a better president than Obama.

I genuinely don't see the DNC nominating a candidate as pro labor as Joe Biden has been for a long time.

To be clear in a perfect world Joe Biden would be in jail at The Hague for being genocide Joe. 

It's just all American presidents are horrendous war criminals. 

Trump has called Joe Biden a Palestinian because he thinks Biden is not helping Israel enough. Specifically he called Biden a week Palestinian. 

If it comes down to Trump versus Biden AOC would want Biden to win.

If people like Adam Schiff, Jim Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, etc cannot convince Joe Biden to drop out then AOC correctly deduces that she would not be able to do so either.

So once you're at the point where it's Trump versus Biden you're going to eventually pretend Biden is a great candidate no matter how flawed he is. 

AOC is just getting ahead of the curve.

And on the 30% chance that the anti-trump vote is strong enough that Joe Biden wins off of Just the anti-trump vote then you have the situation where stubborn vengeful Joe Biden remembers that the one group of Democrats that didn't call on him to drop out was the progressives.

This isn’t a win-win for the left. If Biden uses the progressive political support to stay in the race, progressives and their policies will be blamed for the loss since they actively caused Biden to stay the nominee. People will see that the liberal Dems actually tried to get the most unpopular president in recent history out and that the leftist Dems gave us Trump.

Biden won't be able to do that. Progressives are too weak.

They can't even support Bernie to the nomination.

They aren't powerful enough to prop up Biden against the dem establishment. Eg. Obama wants Biden out
