    Lose the election speed run any %

    I’m 100% sure Dems are actively self sabotaging their re-election.

    There is no way the entire party cannot read a fucking room. This has to be on purpose at this point.

      To be fair there’s large swaths of the party that want him to step down. It’s his advisors and aligned leadership that insist on running him and these policies no matter what.

        A though has just crossed my mind: what if the advisors want him to be there this way and wait till the last moment to say “you know what? Biden steps down [because of his health] and X runs in his place” so Democrat voters can say “we dodged the bullet”.

          That moment is now. And that’s not really how politics usually works. It would be incredibly reckless to do such a thing.
