Honestly though, “get on board or STFU” is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker, nor is “meh, what are you going to do?”

All we want is for someone to keep it 💯 - the percentage, not the age.

    Any person suggesting running another candidate needs to start the conversation with who they think the replacement should be. People talk about dems running Biden like there is a layup candidate waiting and ready.

      Attempting to change the conversation does not address any of these points made in the video. e.g. if Biden has a stroke or some such and doesn’t even last the summer much less the year much less be capable of being President of the United States for the next four years, that would not be great.

      If a car was headed off a cliff, demanding that precision coordinates be entered correctly for the next destination is a poor adaptation to the current set of circumstances. Rather, the important thing is to not head off the cliff, immediately.

      Anyway, Jon does address this point too, by showing a direct quote from Biden when he was asked this very question. His answer may surprise you. 16:10 is where it’s at.

      Also, as Jon summarizes, he’s not asking Biden to step down. Just for an actual competition to be held, to offer the American people an actual choice. Bc we aren’t fascists, or at least we shouldn’t be.

      There is a convention next week. Let them discuss, but Biden admin and DNC prefers to go the authoritarian route. Classic democrat technique of virtue signaling while doing the exact opposite.
