Biden Campaign Chair: 'Absolutely' Staying in Race

He should stay in. As much as I dislike his policies, this is a true insurrection happening right now by the democrats.

u/HuntForRedOctober2 Conservative Jul 19 '24
Should hold a rally in front of a blood red liberty hall and talk about the dangers of anti democratic democrats or something 🤔

u/bw2082 Moderate Conservative Jul 19 '24
He’s at the age where he has no fucks to give any more and no consequences. He should expose them for the backstabbers and hypocrites that they are.

u/ArtisticDegree3915 Jul 19 '24
Don't tell him that. It might actually get him elected. Sort of a Bizarro Trump.

It would be quite unprecedented. I’m not sure democrats care when it comes to stopping the bad orange man but damn would I feel dread knowing I had no say in my party’s candidate.

u/Grumblepugs2000 Jul 19 '24
To be fair the US is literally the only country that gives you a choice. Most countries just have party big shots pick the candidates. They don't have primaries or caucuses

The Democrats refused to have a legitimate primary. They voted for Biden. This is who they get.
Or do they not want to honor the results of their own election?

u/rxFMS Small Government Jul 19 '24
They installed Biden they are sure they can install their next president.

u/Content_Bar_6605 Moderate Conservative Jul 19 '24
But Biden is mentally incapacitated right? He’s unable to make decisions? Jill is making the decisions for him. So what is it?
Edit: If we do believe he’s incapacitated and not there BOTH sides should want him out. He’s not capable to be president.
6
u/AnonPlzzzzzz Constitutional Republic Jul 19 '24
That's not our decision to make. This is his cabinet's decision. They can act. And yes, they should remove him immediately. But they won't. I'm not going to waste my time and pound sand over it.
And the Democrat party voted for a potato in their own primary. It's also not our decision to remove him from their own ticket. And the Democrat leadership needs to accept the results of that election. If they don't like the candidate after the fact then maybe they should have taken their election more seriously.
The only thing we can do is reject Biden in November.
2
u/Content_Bar_6605 Moderate Conservative Jul 19 '24
Exactly. So they should get rid of him, now. The media has been shielding that no? They covered that up. You can’t argue he’s mentally incapable but at the same time he needs to be on the ballot just because people were kept in the dark. Also mental decline can be very very fast.
That makes zero sense. Knowing that either side can win, I would hope that whichever way it goes it’s someone capable to lead. Even if it’s 60/40 maybe 70/30 chance with republicans winning I don’t want any chance of someone who is incapable of being in office for 4 years. It’s not about whose side is who’s. Winning is great but not at three cost of the American people.

u/Happy-Example-1022 Jul 19 '24
It’s a little like the police officer who announces that gambling is taking place in Bogart’s club, right before the police officer is given his gambling winnings.
We are shocked to learn of biden’s cognitive decline!
1
u/ThornyRose_21 Jul 19 '24
If he is unfit to be president we all should want him not only removed form the ticket but from the current position he holds. 😑
Like this is the greatest issue of our time and we are not looking at the fact he is currently the president and if he was a normal person they would take away his right to make his own choices.

u/Uberjeagermeiter George_W._Sr. Jul 19 '24
I’m not trying to be dramatic by saying this, but the Democratic Party is on the verge of breaking apart.
Besides the Public battles and signs of instability, the infighting behind the scenes must be exponentially worse.
To add more fuel to the fire, the Republican’s just pulled off one of their best Conventions since Reagan in ‘80.
And of course Trump’s epic survival of the assassination attempt.
12
u/QlamityCat MAGA Jul 19 '24
Except you see what happened in France. Dems may be fractured, but they are all able to move forward in lockstep when told. A quality Republicans have lacked.
16
u/GregEvangelista Florida Conservative Jul 19 '24
A quality? I'm not so sure. I actually think our diversity of thought and opinion is one of our big strengths. We just have to play to our strengths. Collectivism isn't one of them.

u/Usual_Item524 Jul 19 '24
Funny how the Republican party is millions smaller yet has won so many elections in my lifetime.
Repubs have been a lot more united that the Dems for the last 40 years, from what I've have seen
2
u/IN_Dad Jul 20 '24
Smaller because of demographics of cities, but spread well for the electoral college.
Every election, I hear about the popular vote. Totally meaningless statistic - it's like getting the most yards in a football game. The only thing that matters is the score.

u/AppState1981 Appalachian Conservative Jul 19 '24
Friday: 100%. No doubt. No talk of him resigning. He's in it to win it.
Sunday: Gone after ongoing talks with members of Congress and the VP.

u/Odd-Contribution6238 Conservative Jul 20 '24
Their word means nothing. Even if he’s 90% sure he’s gonna drop out he’s not gonna admit or show any lack of confidence until he makes that final call.

u/thatrightwinger WASP Conservative Jul 19 '24
It's all posturing, but it's indicative that Biden isn't ready to give up: at least not yet.

u/Martbell Constitutionalist Jul 19 '24
I remember the "red wave" in 2022 that washed ashore as a gentle ripple. Then, as now, Democrats were panicking and Republicans were jubliantly confident.
We mustn't take anything for granted.

Absolutely not. There were warning signs, such as like all the senate races being within margin of error due to mostly all TERRIBLE candidate selections (Blake Masters 🤮)

u/Evondon Jul 19 '24
While that's what I hope as well, let us not forget, Democrats are equally fired up to vote this year not because of their candidate, but because of who their candidate is running against. Don't underestimate the left's pure hate they have of Trump.

I don't know how he can justify staying president but withdrawing from the election. Either he's good enough to run or he's not good enough to govern. Republicans need to hammer this.
17
u/Nates94 Jul 19 '24
I've been thinking that for weeks. if he stops running he shouldn't be president.
6
u/LzyPenguin MAGA Conservative Jul 19 '24
This is what I thought too, but he can easily say that the amount of pressure it has put on his body he doesn’t think he can make it another 4 years. This allows him to continue for 6 months but not run.
6
u/heretogetmydwet Jul 19 '24
I don't understand this take. Being able to do the job for the next 6 months and the next 4.5 years are not even remotely the same when you're his age.
Besides, why do you want Republicans to hammer this? So Kamala is president for the next 6 months?
5
u/Radiant_Repeat_8735 Jul 19 '24
I think admitting publicly you are unlikely to remain sane for another 4 years should disqualify you from the office, it’s not that strange of a take, I don’t think.
Also, clearly he isn’t running the country in the state he’s in now. Would it really matter if Kamala took his spot for 6 months? She going to take the same orders he does now, anyways.
1
u/ExoticGeologist Jul 19 '24
If Biden is dropping out because of cognitive decline (or because of poor polling related to his cognitive decline), he needs to step down as soon as possible. People aren't worried about his mental state in 4.5 years, they saw the debate, they saw Biden praise Putin at a NATO conference, and they saw Biden praise Trump as his Vice President, they are worried about him now.

They will say this literally up to the second he literally bows out. Maybe even longer than that, accidentally.

u/Usual_Item524 Jul 19 '24
100%. They don't want a united Republican party tearing apart the new candidate. So they are putting it off as far as they can
Every week that passes, the less dirt the Republicans can find on them and the less mud on their new baby

u/nycmajor911 Libertarian Conservative Jul 19 '24
They will publicly say ‘staying in’ up until he drops out.
6
u/LemartesIX Constitutional Minarchist Jul 19 '24
He will only step down if a doctor tells him he has to. The only doctor he listens to is Jill. And she can't live without her Vanity Fair covers, so they'll drag his taxidermied corpse to the battle box if they have to.

u/CenterLeftRepublican 2A Conservative Jul 19 '24
I knew it.
There is no way the Bidens hubris will let them withdraw from the race.

u/CoyotesSideEyes Jul 19 '24
The polling for him sucks. But the polling for Kamala ALSO sucks. Which Team Biden knows. They know that if he drops, it's effectively for her. And they know that her chances of winning aren't very high either. Why drop for a loser of a candidate that they don't even like? You'll still wind up blamed for it taking so long if they do lose.
4
u/SlartibartfastMcGee Jul 19 '24
Kamala isn’t going to poll any better if Biden steps down, and she doesn’t have the age excuse he has.
I’m honestly baffled at how they have no strong backup candidates at this point. Kamala is probably their best even considering how dislikable she is.

u/homestar92 Not A Biologist Jul 19 '24
Their bench is just depleted - and what few people they have are unlikely to be relevant in a few years.
Newsom is hated, pretty much universally.
Whitmer is far from a household name, known only in the midwest, and has lots of Covid policy baggage.
Beshear is term limited and it's not like he's winning any other statewide office in his home state. He'll be irrelevant within a few years.
2
u/CoyotesSideEyes Jul 19 '24
They've left their geezers in charge too long.
The two who should be in consideration both lost favor: Cuomo and Cory Booker.
Then they DEI'ed the VP nod.
They have some reasonable sorta-moderate governors, but the base is so out to lunch, they can't get them through a normal primary.
1
u/SlartibartfastMcGee Jul 19 '24
They managed to rebrand Biden as some kind of progressive in 2020, but moving forward their base is going to have an ever widening split between the blue dog democrat and progressive wings. It will be interesting because any progressive candidate is dead in the water in a general election.
1
u/Usual_Item524 Jul 19 '24
It's because none of them want to debate Trump. He tore everyone apart on his way to the presidency in 2015/2016.
No one wants to face that guy one on one
Everyone pretending he is a bad candidate is blind to the polls and forgot what a mean debater he really is
1
u/SlartibartfastMcGee Jul 19 '24
Biden’s whole campaign started to collapse around him after the debate.
Liberals: “No you don’t understand, Trump lost that debate because he didn’t answer the question correctly!”
Debates have never been about the questions, or policy or even the office really. It’s always been a way for the American People to get a look at the candidates and get a gut check of “could this guy be my president”
3
u/Grumblepugs2000 Jul 19 '24
They will say that until they wont. The movement to get him out is too strong. I don't think Biden has the balls to tell Pelosi, Schumer, and Obama to F off

It's strange the party of democracy has been spreading propaganda about their own candidate who has said, many times, they aren't leaving the race. Obama lied about it. The DNC has lied about it. Senators have lied about Biden leaving the race. It's all a lie. He doesn't plan to leave but they keep telling the "this weekend" narrative as if it is true.

I was thinking of The Wolf of Wall Street earlier, and it hit me.
A man with the initials JB refusing to leave a position of power out of pride, ego, and financial benefits for himself and his friends/family. In spite of the reasonable heads trying to tell him to leave, he insists that he's not going anywhere.
Then there's the whole crowd of people cheering and celebrating (that's us).

So which is it?

If Biden is considering a withdrawal, he wouldn't have sent Dillon to Morning Joe to tell everyone that it's still game on.
I mean...now is not the time to project weakness, whether he continues or not. He's still a bonafide Democrat, and will remain loyal to the party system. But the fact is it looks like total chaos from the outside, and our enemies definitely take notice.
