Democratic power players are circulating a proposal for Biden to exit, launch 'blitz primary' - Lemmy.World

Jeez Biden now has a choice in my opinion, fighting a two-way battle against a united Republican party and the other half of the dissenting Democrats or swallow his pride and pass on the baton to someone that could be more convincing to voters than Trump. Biden was the right choice against Trump in 2020, because he won by convincing voters he was way more capable than Trump. Now in 2024 is he still as convincing.

Usually a smart person changes course if they see their current trajectory will lead to failure, a proud person will continue their trajectory even if it will lead to failure, and try and try again until they succeed. The proud person might succeed some of the time, the smart person will succeed most of the time

I hate these arguments because they only focus on Biden.

TRUMP SAID LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE during the debate - oh, but Biden is the problem?!

Just go out and vote, and Trump will go away.

Don’t vote, or do a protest vote and you’ll regret being this dense later.

Your argument is basically Trump bad, vote other person. Yes the other person alternative might be better than Trump, but is that really how you would inspire someone to go vote, through fear of the other rather than having an inspiration leader you are willing to support.

Of course not. I’d rather motivate a person to go vote for progress, not fear.

But what options do we have now? What should we do? Continue whining about Biden and give Trump a chance, a moron who is 1000x worse?

And let’s be clear. I blame democrats for putting us in this situation as much as the republicans for sucking up to Trump.

But for now, let’s put the fire out first, then deal with internal politics later.

The “fire” is only burning because the dems are wishing for maga-like willingness to deny what we hear and see for ourselves: Biden is unfit to lead America.

WE ALL SAW IT. YOU DID TOO. Denial and gaslighting will not work with non-maga thinking adults.

Stop pretending it’s okay. If the stakes are as high as the dems themselves keep screaming, then act like it and put up a capable candidate.

There’s your false statement: “Biden is unfit to lead America.”

No, he is not.

Stop pretending it was a “bad night,” for starters.

It was a bad night.

Also, this professor predicted Trump’s 2016 victory when everyone thought Clinton was in the lead. He is now predicting Biden’s victory:

A quote from the article:

Lichtman brushed the talk aside and noted that questions over Biden’s physical capabilities are not coming from doctors.

Election Predictor Shuts Down Concerns On Biden Debate Performance: ‘Zero’ Impact

History professor Allan Lichtman pointed to one scenario that shows Democrats’ “only chance to win” in November.
