What's really sad and ironic about Biden's statements today and so many Biden backers still, is that he thinks just the elites and talking heads are against him, which many echo on the left.
Uhhh, before he ran again, half of Democrats didn't want him to run again, and a majority of independents. While his approval ratings were in the shitter as well. He was deeply unpopular. We also warned that he was too risky because of the potential of decline due to age, as he was already looking worse, and it's a risky gamble. But yes, half the Democratic party are now the equivalent of the elites. Too fucking rich. And now, it's a lot more than elites asking him to step down. We wanted a fair choice in a primary to choose someone we knew could last through a campaign and embarrass Trump. Not to change the minds of MAGA, but to not only get the base out, but rally demographics that don't vote as much, and also independents. The fact people are calling this primary process anything but a formality, and that was our chance, is just insulting.
The amount of gaslighting is just incredible on every front. Biden was never ever the right choice, or the best choice, or the strongest choice. Anybody that is in a party who thought declining Joe Biden with most people not wanting him to run, and half of his very own party, and with approval ratings in the shitter, and his age being a very reasonable question, was the best option, then I find it sad what low standards you have. It's just really pathetic at this point.
I mean the proof is in the brain pudding. Biden just had to do a one hour presser in the last week, maybe two. He can't even do that. I mean it's not much to ask. And who cares what Trump does, we don't go by those standards, we want a high quality candidate. But some people are fine with very low standards. Dems have traditionally not really had balls and are completely risk averse. Including with their messaging. This has cost us many wins, we should have had much more power in much of recent history, and I am including the stacked system against us, and the biased media, which I have always spoken about. And here the Dems are again - except they took a huge risk with Biden, were totally in denial about it, and still are. But they thought that was the safe choice. Funny how that works.
There are so many good observations of the insanity of Biden now, and his die hard reality denying backers. I'll just post some of those randomly.
About his call and letter today:
"So Biden is basically feeding to American voters the very same populist skepticism that MAGA preys on:- Detractors are 'elites' (re: illegitimate; fake; out-of-touch)- Biden is the oracle of electoral fortunes, no one else--no poll, no aide, no elections expert- Biden is the only person who can save America- Biden can foresee the future, and is impatiently waiting for everyone to catch up.Profoundly disappointing."
