“The fantasy that Democrats will simply swap out Biden is based on the notion that voters don’t control the party, that there’s some secret cabal that pulls the strings. But as Biden noted earlier this month, upon winning the 2024 South Carolina primary with more than 95% of the vote: “In 2020, it was the voters of South Carolina who proved the pundits wrong, breathed new life into our campaign, and set us on the path to winning the presidency.” Yes, voters picked Biden.”

Welcome to the Anxiety Election

The prospect of another Trump term is terrifying, but let’s not freak out over every bad news cycle.

@TonyStark All the commentary about someone else should run...Well fine. Then give us a name. Who? Who is the person that can hit ground running, and won't have to learn on the job. Who has the ability to win votes and get things done (ideas are easy until they have to be implemented.) In the world that we have now, I want foreign policy chops, depth and breadth of expertise and experience. Team Biden's record (whether or not one fully agrees with him) demonstrates they get things done.

@nomdeb I absolutely have a reply to this and no time to share it this evening. Tomorrow. Well said, though. Well said.

@nomdeb I’ve specifically asked a number of accounts who say this kind of thing exactly that. Who? Give me a name because “someone else” isn’t a person. No one answers.

The last one said “well, that’s on you! You come up with someone!” And I’m like, I already did. That was Joe/Kamala. Honestly. Some account honestly said that.
