Woof. I disagree w/ this 100%.
The article insinuates he has unwavering support from Congress when in actuality he has tepid support and uncertainty among his contemporaries.
Also, the donors are pushing back so hard not because they are ‘elite’ but because they were also at the Clooney fundraiser where Biden sh!t the bed there as well w/ a performance that rivaled the incoherence of the debate performance. They are of the opinion that this isn’t a one-time thing and is in fact the writing on the wall.
Here’s the hosts from Pod Save America discussing it: (timestamped) https://youtu.be/vbVcn_VQt5A?si=5cqL5NMuUigvbps4&t=1425
“Tepid Support” is Joe Biden’s middle name. I’m still voting for Biden because Trump will be worse.
Finally, America can resemble Canada.
Our guy is fine, but he’s messed up a few times. No matter what he does, though, he’s better than the morally bankrupt runner-up party of canuckistanian oil-baron Republicans and thus - please god - stays in power. Even our #3 party has his back in votes because it’s the lesser of two weasels … or something.
So. Good goin, eh? Next we shall work on your pronouncation of ‘about’ and ‘roof’.
Biden will get my vote as well if he decides to stay in the race too. I’m more concerned about moderates and never-Trumpers and I don’t think Biden will ever win them over after his debate performance
None of the proposed “alternative” candidates are more moderate than Biden.
