Is the Democratic Party insane or something else?

that is NOT the definition of insanity.

agree that Biden sucks.

 

If the Democrats had a clear successor to Biden, I think there would be more pressure to put that person up. Who is it? The Republicans do have some clear options but appear to be sticking with the guy who lost last time and since then has been held liable for sexual abuse and indicted for numerous crimes. The Republicans can’t even get a Speaker named.

 

Meh. Joe Biden is the least controversial President we’ve had in half a century. His legislative accomplishments have been quite distinguished. If it wasn’t Joe’s age, or Obama’s middle name, or Hillary’s laugh, it would be something else.

 

Trump beat Clinton because he was able to ride a tide of anger that folks didn't see coming. All the polls showed him losing, but the polls didn't account for the angry white folks who came out to vote at a much higher percentage than expected. The polls also worked to keep Dems at home thinking that Trump had no chance. So above average turnout for Pubs, below average for Dems .... bada bing ... we got stuck with the worst president since ... well ever.

I'm with @citygator. I think Biden has done an outstanding job considering the head winds he has handed. We need to get normal folks like you to stop whining that he is a bad candidate and start cheering him on. Because we aren't changing horses now.

 

Strong majorities are concerned about his age. There has to be a better candidate than Biden. He should really back out.

this is on dems if Inmate Number P01135809 is our potus. If he wins, our country will never be the same.

Just look at this house speaker mess. That is maga.


Biden’s age is a significant concern for voters - AP-NORC

 

Show me a poll where any other Democrat has a chance of beating Trump, and maybe I'll sign on to "time to move on". Until then, I'm Riden With Biden!

 

There is, what, 2 years age difference? Biden looks physically healthy and can walk up ramps and ride a bike… sort of… Trumy looks like he could have a heart attack at any moment, and I’m sure his constant anger and 91 pending criminal chargers isn’t helping his stress level.

 

So if the pubs nominate Trump, then come out in mass to vote for Trump ... it will be the Dems fault.

Any Dem or Independent with a brain should vote for Methuselah over Traitor Trump.

 

If they don't have a better alternative, isn't that an indictment on the party?

 

Not really insane to run Biden again. Nobody voted for him in 2020. They just voted against Trump.

 

Didn't mean it to be personal.

But I'm really quite sick and tired of reading and hearing all the negativity coming from the Left about Biden. He is our only chance of beating Trump. He is old, I get it.

Sure he can step down, but who is going to step up and have a better chance? We are 12 months out, and not a single Dem not named Biden is getting even a mention.

 

I think it’s going to be close regardless given the Electoral College advantages for the GOP. I think Biden would/will win the popular vote and the EC is basically a toss up.

Whatever the Dems strategic failings are, I don’t put it at the level of insanity. I’d be fine putting up someone like Shapiro or Whitmer but there’s something to be said for someone who’s been been tested on the national level and beat the same likely opponent just three years ago.

 

More like 70 million to blame if they vote for trump

 

Each of us has responsibility for whom we support, promote, donate, and vote. I respectfully disagree that one person is responsible for our elections. Also not sure why you give Trump or his voters a pass here, particularly given that he’s been found to have committed rape and is being prosecuted for numerous serious felonies. Trump could step aside tomorrow and let Haley, DeSantis and others compete for the job. That’s not on Biden.

 

Democrats had a clear successor in 2016 and that didn’t work out. Obama and Biden came out of the pack, Trump too. Just saying successors aren’t that important.

I also think the democrats are pretty deep in successors. Biden is staying in because he thinks he can win.

2. Pete
3. Whitmore
4. Kamala
5. AOC


Last one just seeing if you were paying attention. : )
