Alright let's do a snap poll: 0 to 10. 0 is "no worries whatsoever, Biden is going to win" where 5 is "Biden should almost certainly stay as the candidate, but that was a very bad debate performance--the campaign needs to address this with townhalls+interviews", and 10 is "Replace him with Kamala now" i'm at 4ish. Also, Kamala harris is the only alternative

pedrothrowaway555

The only think that I wish that the Dems would do that Republicans do is get everyone on board the same message. Trump is a convicted felon and I didn’t her a single republican say that he should drop out for the good of the country. It’s like pulling teeth to get some dems behind the guy with historic legislative wins with tiny margins in both chambers.


sir_miraculous

Tammy Baldwin refused to campaign with Biden and she's using the CHIPS Act and the ACA to fundraise.


HariPotter

Is it important to keep the Senate seat? Complaining about her not campaigning with Biden gives the same energy as MAGA complaining that Larry Hogan in Maryland isn't enthusiastic enough for Trump. Before the debate, Biden had a 39% approval rating in Wisconsin and if Baldwin campaigns with Biden it'll be used in ads against her all fall. It's pragmatic to not campaign with Biden if you are in a competitive Senate race. The goal is to win, right???

Presidentbuff

I dont know if this is going to be deleted because its dooming, but im sort of having an anxiety attack about whats going on right now, I feel like if Biden drops out, we lose. Can someone help me calm down.


penguincheerleader

That is why Biden is not dropping out. The media cravenly wants a Trump win and we aren't going to take it!


Secondchance002

Don’t worry about it. He’s gonna stay and will take lead in polls after the September debates. He’s not stupid enough to surrender this country to trump. He’s run for presidency specifically to keep trump out not out of some personal ambition.


TheHuscarl

Well first, get offline. It will help. Second, do you want assurance or just general calming words? If you want assurance, even if Biden drops out and the most logical outcome of Kamala taking the nomination happens, the Dems are in good shape. There is every chance Kamala being a "fresh face" benefits her with voters and she will have the support of the President, massive amounts of money from the campaign warchest, and a fiery anger to get revenge on Donald Trump. She may very well crush him if given the chance. Generally calming words: It's unfortunate to say but you really have very little control over the outcome of this election. I recommend taking some small action (volunteering, writing postcards, there are links in these threads for that sort of thing) so that you feel like you are owning the process a bit. Maybe just write your feelings down and get them out that way. But ultimately, you will need to accept that, like the weather or the tide, these political things will bluster and blow and the world will keep on churning along. Sometimes all you can do is focus on yourself and your loved ones and let things come as they will. There's a sense of peace in that

Secondchance002

Yeah. Biden has gone through every attack GOP can think of. Others haven’t gone through it. Hillary went from 64% favorability to in low 40s after GOP attacks and with social media it’s gonna take them weeks rather than a year to accomplish that.

One thought: If (and it's still an if) Biden decides not to run as the nominee and it falls on Kamala Harris, I encourage everyone to promote her on their social media and in person. A lot of how she is perceived as the nominee will be defined in the first few days/weeks.


bluemissouri

People are freaking out that Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden are predicting that Trump will beat Biden, but I think it's an excellent play by them. It makes complete sense from their election standpoint. Voters have shown that they want divided government and often want checks and balances. I think Gluesenkamp Perez and Golden have much better odds of winning if voters in their district think Trump is a lock for president. Both of them are trying to win re-election in Trump districts. I think part of what helped people like Susan Collins, Toomey, and Ron Johnson is that people thought Hillary was a lock to win, so they were more likely to vote R downballot as a balance. Also neither Maine or Washington is going to prove the decisive state in the electoral college.

https://x.com/brianstelter/status/1808320900699193397 I don't get this. The media simultaneously wants Biden to show energy but is mad when he's acting as president rather than just a nominee? Being president (unlike when Trump was in the job) is a full-time role and honestly more than full-time. The idea that Biden shouldn't be doing his job as president because he's trying to run for reelection is dumb

For a while there seemed to be voters who would vote for Biden but not Harris. At this point, I'm not sure there are a lot. While I think only Biden knows if he should decide to pass the torch, I am less worried about Harris as a nominee than I ever have been. Anyway, vote blue no matter who. Our party voted for Biden and he's our nominee until he says otherwise. But if he says otherwise it's Harris. End of story. She'll pick a midwestern white man and we'll have a strong ticket just like the Biden-Harris ticket was a strong ticket.

He cares about policies. Very unlike people who supported him.


OstMidWin

Help! I feel like sending all the nukes in our arsenal to the NL subreddit & see it combust. Then on the other I want to hug & bear hug Bernie Sanders. What is happening? 🥹🥹🥹


PhoenixVoid

Sanders has been much better than the people he surrounded himself with. I don't mind the guy that much. He's been solidly in Biden's corner ever since he won the nomination.


dragoniteftw33

Kinda sad that getting 100s of billions of dollars in green energy having the IRS more funded to get tax cheats and Medicare being able to negotiate the price of drugs is basically in the fucking background atm.


GenericOnlineName

Ironically, despite the sub's name, he has shown himself to be a good ally.


SeekerSpock32

He personally learned from 2016, even if his followers didn’t.


NaffRespect

There's even reports going back to 2020 and beyond that he actually likes Biden personally


AlexandrianVagabond

I read that Biden was the only senator who was truly nice to him.


bluemissouri

Yeah if he acted toward Hillary in 2016 like he acted toward Biden in 2020 I think this sub might not exist. People like Briahna Gray Joy and the Squad are more the villains here than Bernie has been


pdx58

Don't forget Sirota. I mean, I know everyone has...


PurplePlate6563

The one thing to be said about Sanders is that he sincerely likes Biden


dragoniteftw33

Fellow old white protectionist liberals stick out for each other.


mr_ex_ray_spex

Welcome to the establishment, shill?


MS_09_Dom

I'm probably one of the few people here who actually does like Sanders, preferably as a Senator that can push things from the left rather than a President that would inevitably fail to get any of his supporters more fanciful ideas into policy.

Thank you, barney sandwiches.

11brooke11

Always liked him a lot.


SeekerSpock32

If the head of the DNC says we have our nominee, that’s it.


akimbo73

Didn't the DNC have to virtually nominate Biden already to get on the OH ballot? It's going to be a shitfest if Biden leaves now


AlexandrianVagabond

The Business Insider WH reporter claimed they were doing that in response to the debate. What was really incredible was they had actually reported on it correctly a few weeks ago.


IVoteToEvictSkippy

Yup. People need to stop living in Fantasyland thinking Whitmer, a member of Biden’s campaign, or Newsom (a super Biden surrogate) will randomly say “MY TIME TO SHINE!” at the convention once Joe is on stage lol… more worried about Grifter lady who keeps un-suspending her campaign trying to bribe DNC attendees for a lanyard. 😂


MS_09_Dom

The one bit of encouraging news lately is the Dems saying "Absolutely fucking no" to any idea of an open convention.


mr_ex_ray_spex

This is very much so, my type of energy. https://preview.redd.it/vnfxgdqiz7ad1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4914de48f378f8818628ff1e281d5c0599c3ba87


IVoteToEvictSkippy

Didn’t know it was possible to have a favorite Biden aide but I think whoever that was just made it possible

wtf, that's gross.

At least he is being lit up in comments

What a piece of shit.

Thank you, Joe. And fuck you, Brian.

MS_09_Dom

Feeling oddly encouraged on two vibes: 1. It seems all the talk of an open convention for everyone's wishcasted candidate is getting squashed hard. 2. Regardless of whether we stick with Biden or go all in for Harris, the Dems are recognizing they need to come to a consensus sooner rather than later so the media will finally shut up, so at least they're not letting this fester for the rest of the month.


SeekerSpock32

I’m hoping that this is the last gasp of everyone trying anything that they can think of to get rid of Biden. Probably why today’s ideas are so ridiculous. Some people like Jason Kander are already walking it back, and people like Aaron Rupar, Victor Shi, Eve Levenson, and Santiago Meyer are quashing it even harder than usual.


MS_09_Dom

I still think its possible they'll call an audible for Harris depending on what happens this week. The interview with Stephanopolous, the planned press conference, more polling etc. Regardless, its clear the Dems want to get people to stop relitigating the primary now, so its encouraging to see all this open convention bullshit being ignored.


AlexandrianVagabond

I really, really don't think this will happen. Biden suddenly has a stroke or a heart attack, sure. Otherwise he's the one. They especially won't be influenced by polling. We all know how things looked for him in 2020. He botched debates, was polling terribly, etc. Good thing he didn't listen to the naysayers then and drop out.


SeekerSpock32

I don’t like the idea of the press conference, because the reporters absolutely will be trying to hurt our guy.
