    Trump speaks and confuses Obama with Biden, Pelosi for Haley and the GOP keep quite knowing it’ll blow over by the next news cycle. Biden makes similar gaffes and Democrats panic and call for replacing him thus keeping it alive in the news with a new headline everyday. Who gives a fuck what George Clooney thinks?

      The problem is that the gaffes are just the tip of the iceberg.

      Many prominent Biden allies are pushing for him to step down. It’s not the media or George Clooney- its Congressmen. It’s a crisis when many of your closest allies question your ability to do the job.

      Democratic candidates are crying as they leave “reassurance” meetings with Biden. They understand better than anyone else that their election chances are dire with Biden as an anchor at the top of the ticket.

      It’s a crisis when the Republicans are on track to control all 3 branches of government in a few months.

        Because Republicans fall in line. Republicans are on record saying if Trump ever gets elected president, it will be the death of the party. Now, those same people have orange paint on their lips from kissing his ass so much. They don’t question Trump’s crazy ideas or statements, because he’s the party leader. Democrats don’t do that, and at times it’s good to question our candidates, I feel this is not that time.

        We’re 4 months from the election. The DNC convention is even sooner. No way can a new candidate become familiar with independents and gain their confidence in that time. This change needed to happen way sooner, which is the DNCs and Biden’s fault for not encouraging potential challengers to Biden. Now, there’s doubt in everyone’s minds when if there were challengers that failed to compete against Biden, we would KNOW, that Biden is still the best.

        People are only whining because that’s easy to do. Constructive criticism is harder and part of that, in regards to Biden, is offering a solid alternative that everyone will like more than Biden, so quickly. Making ourselves look so disorganized, and adding to this negative headline is not doing us any favors, and Trump loves it.

      Trump has a cult that excuses everything he does. Democrats look on that with envy and start orderin’ people to shut up and put on the nikes.

      The thing is Dems usually pretend to be slightly less bad than Republicans. This “just shut up and vote for our man” is typically a Republican strategy.

        And all the conspiracy theories and vile attacks are on brand for MAGA. Now a growing part of the Dem supporters act in the same way as the MAGA crowd.

        Also i cannot help but remember someone who posted a quote form 1984 the other day:

        “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

        This is where we are at for people making up all sorts of BS why Biden messing up his speeches, walking in the wrong directions and being blitzed out on stage is somehow not signs of an old men with dementia.
