Saddened to hear that Joe Biden has succumbed to political backstabbing from those in his own party.

Posted by Loyola Jul 21 '24, 15:33

Should Trump win the next election, I wonder what the so called Democratic Party will say regarding their actions in denying a president elected by the people, his chance to stand again before the electorate based on his record.
Biden won his mini elections to stand as a candidate in this election, and has now been usurped in the most undemocratic manner possible. Absolutely disgraceful.

Responses:

The mental decline was accelerating, look at his State of the Union speech. Look at him standing like a scarecrow -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 16:11
I appreciate the view from outside of our system, but I think you are misunderstanding how our system works. - ty97 Jul 21, 16:04 11
- Also, Joe stepped aside of his own accord. There was pressure, yes, but it was his decision. Nobody could have made him do it. - ty97 Jul 21, 16:06 10
  - It seems he was coerced into this decision to stand down. His opponents exercised coercive control to achieve their aims. That is troubling. - Loyola Jul 21, 16:21 5
    - The decision was made when the money stopped coming in. -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 16:26 1
      - I believe that’s accurate. And that the money stopped coming in when his party colleagues deemed it appropriate to denigrate his ability to lead. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 16:31
    - also "their aims" are beating Trump. That's a shared aim of all of us. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:24
    - It was not a crisis of perception. Voters bought into the "he is tool old" thing and he was going to lose -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:23 1
      - Oh yes it is because people perceived that "someone else" can beat Trump So what happens we wake up day after Election - eag Jul 21, 16:31
  - It was a coup inside the party flat out - eag Jul 21, 16:11 3
    - I disagree, Dem voters polled also said he was no longer fit. Coup is a ridiculous word to use here IMO - ty97 Jul 21, 16:20 1
      - It was a coup might sound a little strong but it was a non violent coup IMO -- nm - eag Jul 21, 16:33
    - Party > One man -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 16:18
Circumstances changed since the primaries. Doubtful he’d win them given widespread sentiment. -- nm - nubby Jul 21, 15:39
fairly or unfairly he's old and would have lost in a landlside in Nov if he stayed in -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 15:37 9
- That’s for the people to decide. His party should temper their faith in their predictive abilities given they thought Hillary Clinton would win in a - Loyola Jul 21, 15:41 7
  - oh, OH, THAT'S MY ENTRANCE MUSIC! I said, repeatedly, in 2016 that Clinton might lose to Trump. - ty97 Jul 21, 16:05
  - Nobody ran against him. It wasn’t a straight “He’s our guy” primary season. It was a “It’s yours” one. -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Jul 21, 16:05
  - and if The People chose fucko, he would wipe out everything Joe has achieved with the stroke of a pen the minute he got back into the Oval Office - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 15:48 4
    - I think this internal takedown will resonate so badly with the over 65s, that it will guarantee Trump becomes president. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 15:56 3
      - Go look up how the over 65s vote in our presidential elections. -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 21, 16:07
      - as over 65. if there had to be a change from Joe. I'm thrilled it was Kamala. she's got my vote. -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 21, 15:58 1
        
        Same. -- nm - King Of Oklahoma Jul 21, 15:59
- (nobody except maybe Kamala has cloaked themselves in glory the way it all went down but there was no coming back from the debate alas) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 15:41
