Loyola, this isn't a Brutus/Caesar thing. His Dem colleagues didn't speak up until it was apparent to everyone that there was a crisis -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 21, 16:43 12
- It does feel like a modern day takedown of a leader. Caesar fell by 23 different stab wounds from 23 different senators iirc. It does now reveal - Loyola Jul 21, 17:03 10
  - If it was anyone but Harris, I’d agree with you. Harris was already on the ticket. So anyone who voted for him also voted for her. -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 17:26
  - We have no idea if Harris thought his mental fitness was fine or if she's being ringing alarm bells for a year. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 17:05 8
    - She was quite vocal in saying Biden was the right candidate to beat Trump. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 17:07 7

        I wish someone said that to Biden’s detractors. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 17:18 1
        
        The relentless narrative bias of the media made his position untenable, notwithstanding the whisper campaign from his own party. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 21, 17:37
      - I don't know Irish politics, but the VP in the US is basically there to nod and approve of the President. - ty97 Jul 21, 17:08 2
        
        Our president is 83. If our politicians tried to shaft him, the people would give them an almighty kicking for disrespecting him. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 17:22 1
        
        your president doesn't really do anything. -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 17:23
- i mean . . . the way Nancy/Obama/Schumer did it wasn't NOT that either -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 16:48
eag: "Someone else" may well lose to Trump. Biden was DEFINITELY GOING to lose to Trump. That's what it come down to. -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 21, 16:38 14
- I don't agree with the "definitely" part but I'm glad to see the renewed enthusiasm. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:58 4
  - Same, though I think it was only becoming inevitable because of Democrats. -- nm - pmb Jul 21, 19:07
  - It's the "new toy" effect - eag Jul 21, 17:05 1
    - She’s bisexual too? Whoa! -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 17:29

- Exactly this. We went from no hope to some hope -- nm - Jovian Jul 21, 16:55 1
  - I had hope. It was fading bad, more every day. It's a new day, a new world. -- nm - mud Jul 21, 16:58
- If aging was an issue then all these people could have said something before the primary season - eag Jul 21, 16:54 5
  - a lot of people were saying he should only go for one term in 2020. -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 17:22 1
    - Correct. -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 17:37
  - he's the incumbent and an open primary war would have been much more damaging to the eventual winner -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 16:57
  - His decline wasn't realized at that point either because A) it hadn't progressed as much or B) The Biden camp hid it -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 21, 16:56 1
    - I do fully respect that people don't like how it all happened. The whole situation is tough, honestly. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:57
- Trust me, I'll be 80 next month. I know how much it sucks!! -- nm - Meg Jul 21, 16:53

  - This is what I’m talking about—Let’s get behind her and make this happen -- nm - Trending Jul 21, 16:51
Nikki Haley PAC endorses Harris -- (link) - Reagen Jul 21, 16:35 2
- of course, if Mitch and MAGA Mike had the juice to do what Pelosi did when the 34 felony convictions dropped, it would be Kamala v. Nikki -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 16:49
- Though it was a Haley Voters for Biden PAC already. -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 16:46
if Joe Manchin wants Kamala to prove just how much Dems are sick of his shit, I welcome him to try -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 16:34 1
