The set of Democrats who think he should reconsider his decision to stay in the race has grown to include aides, operatives and officials tasked with guiding his campaign to victory.

    It’s not lost on most everyone here- how you shit on Biden, and thinly allude to hating Trump equally.

    What everyone ALSO knows- is that you know no one here is voting for Trump anyway… so there’s no reason to publicly support him when all you need to do is urge people to not vote against him.

      I actively encourage anyone to withhold a vote from Trump or Biden, they may have different names, but the policies are the same and they’re paid by the same corporations and bankers. We get shit on, tossed breadcrumbs, and liberals call it the most progressive thing ever. They’re afraid to speak out against the corruption that they see for fear of losing their breadcrumbs.

        Biden and Trump policies are nowhere NEAR the same, not even in the same universe the same.

        A Biden supreme court would never have struck down Roe Vs. Wade.

        Biden would never tell Putin “Do whatever the hell you want.”

        https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/10/politics/trump-russia-nato/index.html

        As much as Biden supports Israel, he would never tell them to “finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

            We aren’t talking about who was President, we’re talking about policy differences and you cannot say, in any reality, that Trump and Biden are on the same side when it comes to abortion or judicial appointments.

                The President does in fact nominate Supreme Court members, and there is a real chance that both Thomas and Alito will be gone before 2028.

                Who do you trust to replace them?

          A Biden supreme court would never have struck down Roe Vs. Wade.

          Direct Democrat action has led to 3 of those conservative justices currently sitting on SCOTUS

          he would never tell them to “finish what they started

          Continuing to send weapons and money is allowing Israel to finish the job.

            Democratic INACTION. Not action.

            Republicans actively placed those judges on the court.

                No, again, Biden failed to take action which allowed Thomas to be confirmed.

                  I get that free speech is a thing not to be taken lightly, but I honestly don’t know why this dude isn’t banned for this shit.

                  He’s admitted to being here to urge people not to vote. Nothing good comes from that and he’s all about misinformation- Almost all the time.

                  It took me 30 seconds to prove he was bullshittting when he said Schiff and Pelosi were asking Biden to step down. No one removed that propaganda. Seriously…

                  Why is he still here?

                  That link is pure speculation.

                  Had Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy or Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone been chair, would that have happened? You’re joking, right? Of course not!

        So you openly admit that you’re here to disrupt an election.

          By telling people not to vote for the people that I do not support? You telling everyone that their vote is wasted if it’s not going to Biden is a form of voter suppression and a clear disruption of the election process

            Okay man. You admitted that you’re actively trying to disrupt an election. It’s a known fact that non-votes support Trump. Don’t play dumb. This is a proven fact.

            I’m no longer responding to you in good faith as you aren’t here in good faith.
