It all depends who replaces him, when, and how. If Biden drops out within a week, and the Dems get a strong ticket to replace him, we are still about 4 months out from the election. We could not only win, but it could be a blue wave depending who they out forth. But yeah, you're both objectively and subjectively wrong. \n\nAlso, the fact we are even having this discussion is disastrous and was unthinkable just a month ago.

Almost to the degree of John Fetterman, Josh Gottheimer, and Jared Moskowitz. Biden borders on an Evangelical Dominionist Fundamentalist Protestant in his dogmatic loyalty towards Israel. He's literally more pro-Israel than Ronald Reagan was. He attacked Ronald Reagan in the 80s for Reagan being tough with Menachem Begin. At times Biden is borderline more loyal to Israel than to the US (even as Obama's VP*). It explains his weird flex the other week at a press conference about being more popular in Israel than in the US. Kamala, in contrast, is more like Obama or Elizabeth Warren towards Israel. Not as tough on Israel as Bernie, Maxwell Frost, or other Progressives, but significantly tougher than Biden. Netanyahu will be pissed if Kamala wins because it will be like going back to the Obama or Bill Clinton years in terms of American foreign policy towards Israel. Netanyahu hated Obama because he was less chummy with Israel than Bush. Netanyahu had to rely on Biden being his point man within the Obama Administration to counteract Obama on foreign policy towards Israel.\n\n\nKamala subbing in for Biden actually gives us a chance to claw back some lost Arab and Muslim American voters and young voters in the Rustbelt as she's comparatively more pro-Palestinian than Biden.\n\n\n\n*Read about Biden as VP actually going behind his boss Obama's and his colleague Hillary's backs and undermining them with Netanyahu:\n\n\nhttps://jewishcurrents.org/joe-bidens-alarming-record-on-israel\n\n\nBiden damn near acted like an Israeli mole/foreign agent in the Obama Administration.",

Shits gonna suck, for some groups more than others, but it will pass, we will survive. \n\nPeople gotta remember as dumb and backwards as conservative policy is, 90% of it is just “let’s go back to doing things the way we used to do”. Most anti-trans policy is essentially just rolling shit back to what it was like only 20-30 years ago. Trans people weren’t in concentration camps 20-30 years ago, trans people still had communities 20-30 years ago, movies about trans people existed and received generally positive reception 20-30 years ago. That’s not to say it wasn’t way worse for trans people back then, it definitively was, but trans people SURVIVED, the inability to get HRT for children didn’t stop trans people from existing or forming communities, trans books not being in schools didn’t prevent kids from growing up to be trans adults, the trans community existed back then and got through it to a better tomorrow. Obviously we wanna do everything we can to prevent rolling back the great progress we’ve made in trans acceptance, but stumbling back a decade or so isn’t the same as “Holocaust 2.0 is 2 years away”. \n\nTrump will suck, it will really suck for certain groups, but we’ll survive and manage. And as much as Trump might try some BS, his maga following is not strong enough to supersede the leftists, liberals, and moderate conservatives, to keep him in power after his second term is over. \n\nAnd if you want hopium, consider that after Trump we are very likely to get an 8 year Democrat. It’s extraordinarily rare for one party to hold the presidency twice in a row outside of two term presidents, so almost guaranteed the next president will be democrat. And after Trump it will have been 12 years since a president served to sequential terms which is a pretty long time to go in comparison to historical trends, so whatever Dem candidate has a very strong chance of getting both terms back to back. And since the Dems almost certain will be using a much younger candidate and hopefully learn a few things from this fiasco, it’s a good chance people will see this new candidate as a course correction and be more interested in them. So your hopium can be that there’s a very strong chance after Trump is done we will have a two term better Dem president that can roll back a lot of what Trump does and put us on a better track to prevent another Trump from happening again.",

They just as easily coulda said “nah, we don’t see enough evidence to suggest this”, and frankly in regards to districting it’s actually kinda hard to definitively prove motivations so it wouldn’t even have been a stretch to say that, but they still took the case and not only ruled the districting as wrong but specifically ruled it was racially discriminatory. The SC isn’t as blatantly in Trump’s pocket as people assume based on a handful of rulings. \n\nAlso if patterns still hold then Texas will be blue by the time Trump’s term is over regardless of what conservatives try to do and at that point it’s basically game over because Texas has so many electoral votes",

Americans back then were still very committed to the whole idea of the American dream at the time and didn't care as much of the fact that they were going to leave behind a shit world to the coming generations.

I have multiple people in my family who blame him for Hillary losing the election. \n\nI think actual working class people support him. He polls well with real republicans, but not with far-right people who believe he’s a socialist. Luckily, anyone who would hate a socialist, also wouldn’t support Biden, since everyone on the right calls him a socialist too. \n\nI think this ‘not electable’ thing is a myth.

"content": "> He lost to the entire DNC\n\nNow you're just inventing an entire conspiracy theory from whole cloth.\n\nEstablishment Democrats are old curmudgeons, sure, but they are old curmudgeons who trust polls and focus groups. This was the main reason they didn't move even an inch when you kids went out to protest against military support for Israel.\n\nSure, they also didn't like Bernie Sanders, but they never came close to doing what Labour did to Jeremy Corbyn. Instead, they simply looked for someone who would poll well among centrists so much so they would overwhelm Sanders supporters in the primaries, and they found that person in none other than Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.\n\nOne thing you need to remember is that Biden didn't run in 2016 but did in 2020, and that's because Biden knew he was old AF but the establishment Dems needed him to run against Sanders. Biden was their hedge against your guy, and that's the whole reason they funded him, put him in a \"No Malarkey\" tour bus and generally did not much more than making registered Democrats know he's running. And guess what, their plan worked, and the fact it did proved that the Party on the whole leaned far more to the right of centre than you would want it to.\n\n> I think most of the hatred against Bernie stems from liberals\n\nWhat do you think is a \"liberal\"? A person who isn't \"radical\" enough to your liking about protests and shit?\n\nLiberalism is conservatism, and conservatism is inherently reactionary when it comes to where society should be headed, i.e. it wants shit to go backwards to back when it was \"good\". You think people as old as me fly off the handle when they hear the words \"social justice\" because they just don't know any better? No, they are hostle towards social progress and change because they like things exactly the way they used to be, that is, utterly shithouse and unimaginably oppressive to those less fortunate than themselves. To them, it sucks to suck, and that's law of nature no one should go against.\n\n> I think actual working class people support him. \n\nThere are always a minority of people around or above my age in America with a functional extent of class consciousness, but don't be too surprised when you find out the rest are more than happy to screw themselves over for the empty promise of a supposedly wonderful past made present.\n\nRepublicans are of course more upfront about that with their whole \"Make America Great Again\" tagline, but you shouldn't put Democrats in general above it, either.",

Well, because of him, there were very famous videos making the rounds on reddit, tiktok, and twitter, and libsoftiktok made a post about her which reached millions of views. Our store got so many calls harassing our coworkers and managers. Today, she got fired, the official statement on twitter is that she “didn't represent Home Depot's values”. \n\nYou mean your political values? Your doxxing, harassment, and stalking values?\n\nI'm honestly not comfortable working somewhere that is more okay with firing an employee for a political opinion that they didn't care that a presidential candidate got shot than protecting her from actual crimes against her. But unfortunately with my husband being out of work, I can't just quit with the reason being that they fired someone when they were a victim of a crime.\n\nShe is, in fact, getting legal help for this, but I won't post the proof in case someone tracks down that posts and harasses THAT person, too.\n\nFuck Trumpers.

Not only does it confuse the entire narrative, it actively starts infighting in the left (though this whole news cycle has been great at doing that anyways.)\n\nWhat I don't get most of all is how this is any different now from the exact argument Vaush made about the primary selection: attack Biden and do everything you can to push him left in primary season, but once he's the guy, he's your guy. In the day or two immediately post debate, it's fine to raise the possibility of replacement. But that ship has sailed.\n\nAm I wrong? Is this not actually inconsistency?

Even if Pelosi wanted Harris gone, who would be the replacement that has more recognition than Harris currently has?\n\nIt's so jarring that this sub reasonably went full Doomer over Biden's debate because it very clearly showed he is not capable of running a campaign, but now suddenly when reality hits that Biden's going, the sub goes full contrarian and is Ridin' with Biden.",

There was reporting back in 2022 that Obama was already at odds with Biden regarding elections. \n\nAnd if we do go to open convention, most delegates would probably default to Kamala by sheer fact that she's already on the ticket, has good will with most politicians, and just by the idea of how the funds are: she's the easiest choice. Other choices have also been quite quiet or staying out of line of sight. And a few would make sense as VP as people tend to forget you usually pick a VP to help with areas you're weak in. Kamala? You'd want a VP connected to battleground states that have lost favor with Biden.\n\nAgain, it's wild as people portray Obama as this mastermind and than think, \"Well, he and the others don't have a plan cause AOC said this.\". Yeah, of course she would if she's left in the dark. Pelosi and established dems aren't shy about hating the squad. Why would they include them? Bernie often has butt heads with people, but he still gets things done regardless.

Similarly, respondents who said they were unsure who they would vote for before the debate were slightly more likely to switch to preferring Biden after the debate.",
