U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer and Adam Smith have also called for Biden to drop out, though not to resign. Other Oregon and Washington Democrats have been noncommittal.

Not sure if this violates rules, but this is breaking news and the primary source. Local news video.

    Yup, I said “go fascism.” I see it, right there. If I squeeze my eyes really tightly.

    Again, it’s this “fascism or else” distillation that is going to drive people away from politics and the polls, not towards.

      You said that in the case of fascism against Biden, you would let fascism win. Pretty unambiguous.

      And then tried to bothsides fascism with Biden by calling the presumption that the opposition was literally fucking fascism as insufficiently nuanced view of the race. Because, as we all know, Trump et co are very complex. They definitely aren’t fascists with their masks all the way off.

        Again, you can’t read and I can’t rationalize with someone so defensive. Have a good one.

          Yes, hence why I was able to parse you saying

          And distilling the complexities of American leadership and our standing in the world into fascism vs. dementia is just naïve and simpleminded.

          In a discussion about whether or not voting against fascism was necessary to not be pro-fascist (PROTIP: it is). If there is complexity in this, it is on the Democratic side, which is a mess and a big tent with a shitty candidate at the moment. There’s no ‘complexity’ about the fascism that Trump et co are peddling. When I asked you to explain this, you refused, what, three times?
