Via Fred Wellman: 𧔠1/...
I've seen a lot of people telling me that this story means they think #Biden is weak so they want him in the election. No...you're missing the goal here. What they are doing is declaring how they will conduct a coordinated lawfare campaign to screw the Democratic nominee.
...
2/ Wellman:
First it will be this lawsuit. In close order various Republican AG's will sue the DNC on behalf of their citizens "who voted in good faith in the Primary for Joe Biden." Then they will launch coordinated campaigns to split the Democratic coalition. "See how they are treating Kamala?" "Why didn't they think California's governor leading the 3rd largest economy in the world should be nominee." it will be relentless and targeted to get people to stay home.
3/ Wellman:
Millions of dark money will go to third party candidates. Suddenly RFK Jr. will miraculously have the resources to get on every ballot...on and on and on.
They don't care who is on the ballot. They want us to spend time, money, and anger on each other and on defense so Trump simply strolls into the White House with 45% of the vote.
4/ Wellman:
The Biden campaign needs to stop nevel gazing and get back in the fight. We all need to stop eating each other alive and remember the real enemy to our democracy is the one's cheering this on in Florida.
5/ Wellman responds to this:
You really only need to worry about swing states controlled by Republicans - and even in those states they're not likely to want to deal with the outrage of trying to game the Democrats out of the Presidency in this fashion.
Wellman:
With respect youâre missing the point. Time is our enemy. All the have to do is drag their feet while Dems scramble and hire lawyers and fight. If youâve learned nothing in the last 8 years, the Republicans donât want a fair fight.
6/ Via Angry Staffer:
Read all of this. This is *exactly* what the GOP wants.
Theyâre using the media as part of their influence operation to fracture Democrats with the ultimate goal of limiting turnout on the left.
7/ Via Katie Phang:
FWIW my two cents:
The only person who can, and will, decide whether Joe Biden drops out is Joe Biden.
I, personally, support Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. I think calls for him to withdraw discount his first termâs successes, of which there are many. It also ignores some practical realities that cannot be overlooked a mere months away from Election Day.
@GottaLaff Laffy: Pres. Biden has had our back from the very beginning. So the least I can do is support his reelection. Thereâs only one choice here and that is to vote for Pres. Biden.
I donât know whoâs making these idiotic claims that Pres. Biden should dropout. There are also talk about the president finding another VP. Thatâs even more ridiculous. Some really need to chill outâŠ
@rlstone4dems I've been saying that for days.
And some of those idiotic claims are coming from Dem officials and MoC.
Talking of the veep, has anyone else seen Politics Girl's post? As ever if was đ„
@TheDarcBird @GottaLaff I know that this is hours late, but I never did see Politics Girl's posts, until now. And I'm glad I did!
Politics Girl really tells it as it is!
She is AMAZING! I first got to hear about her through #CNN (before they were kompromate by the right wing
But is it "malpractice" if their intention was never journalism in the first place?
@NZedAUS Ask Biden. If he thinks he can, then he can.
If he doesn't, then he won't.
I don't do speculation, sorry. I have no idea what will happen.
As far as "DEMS" sleepwalking the US to a theocratic autocracy, maybe blame the ChristoFascists, not those trying to stop them.
That just irked the hell out of me, sorry.
@NZedAUS @GottaLaff it ain't Kamala.Case in point, low info voter - my wife. She doesn't know who Kamala is. If you remind her - she'll remember, but other than that she'll draw a blank.
She's voting for Biden and hasn't heard about debates. When I explained it to her, she responded with "who cares".
That's the type of voter you'll alienate the moment you replace Biden with literally anyone else.
@NZedAUS @GottaLaff not trying to run a poll here, simply pointing out a sizeable cohort of voters you'd have to make up for.
And guess what? If MSM can't reach them - nobody can. These voters will see replacement as a clusterfuck in the party and just stay home instead of voting for someone they don't recognize.
It should be clear by now, if it was not before, that #NYT is another player in the propaganda campaign to return Trump to the White House
@michaelgemar Oh, me too, but the consensus is Kamala.
HOWEVER, I have my nagging horrible doubts that a Black woman can win these days. Also, what Fred W. said above.
But she would likely be the one.
