    We just need Biden to hold on a little longer. I've decided that Biden staying and then losing is the funniest outcome now. And it will be even funnier when the libs blame the left for it.

      1. Biden is adamant about staying in
      2. Libs throw their hands up and say there’s nothing they can do if Biden isn’t willing (even though they could still easily just nominate someone else)
      3. Biden loses
      4. Libs blame us and don’t even have a millisecond of self reflection

        It is really hard to see libs doing the work that would be required to force Biden out. Team Biden is probably counting on that, just waiting it out.

          Literally all it takes is the delegates voting for someone else at the convention.

          But yeah, they probably wouldn’t do it against Biden’s wishes.

            If one is to believe in electoralism, I think there's a good argument to be made for establishment Dems to throw him under the bus so he doesn't tank the down ballot turnout.

        I agree with this chain of events, but I can't help feel like this is one of those moments that peels a decent amount off. Who knows if they'll go left though. They could just rally behind some libertarian wannabe

        Looking good for Biden so far, the Dem meeting where they were supposed to call on him to drop out has been called off - https://www.axios.com/2024/07/07/scoop-dem-senators-biden-huddle-called-off

        Oh God, I didn't even think of that being a real possibility. The brain trust at the Democratic party would totally go for someone who is only marginally younger, less popular and has a track record of losing to Trump before.

        I need a Corri Bush/Liz Cheney "stop the bad orange man" unity ticket that loses by like 1.5% of the popular vote in spite of carrying 17% of registered Republicans who don't know what year it is

      I'm still hoping for a Year of Four Emperors Presidents where Biden loses, dies before the inauguration so Kamala is sworn in, Trump is inaugurated but dies shortly afterward leaving his VP as president
