It's becoming a torrent. He's losing Democratic congressman with key committee positions, including two of the four Democrats who compromise the Gang of 8.
And Biden is an angry old man. He'll stay in the race just out of spite. I guess the only thing that could get him to drop out is Jill. And god only knows what her POV is or will be.
It looks up in the air for me. Maybe they could buy Jill off or something. They seem more desperate and it's so entertaining for all of us who watched them move so fluidly to take down Bernie four years ago. I need some popcorn.
If the dem machine was smart - they would have been kissing her ass and maintaining a subtle relationship with her even before the election in 2020. If your candidate is a super-old, angry, stubborn person - planning ahead about how to change the situation is wise. If you plan ahead - sucking up can pay dividends. This is not complicated at all.
But I assume the machine is filled with abject morons so they didn't do that. If I'm right - they have no cards to play other than begging and pleading which nearly always tends to be a big loser. Another "bad day" and Jill and her hubby might start to worry about his all important legacy. And the dem machine can play on that.
If the number of people in DC and boldface name dems start asking him to drop out gets to be too big and/or the number grows too fast - that's entwined with legacy too and is a another pressure to drop out. I have no idea what "too big" or "too fast" is. Newsom and Whitmer are local party soldiers focused on 2028.
They won't ask him to drop out unless they know for certain he's already a dead man walking. If the say they have "losing confidence" in him that's surely a sign Biden is toast and he can't remain the nominee.
Whatever happens - this month and next month will be fascinating.
Part of me wants this chaos for the sake of vengeance for them not listening to us about stopping right wing populism with left wing populism. It's cathartic and entertaining in that way.
But also part of me is scared they're letting it get so bad and think they can just hole up in their mansions and fundraise off this for another four years. Idk, they may not implement Project 2025 at a national level but, as the national administrative state is dismantled by them, they could implement parts of it in the strongholds where they hold absolute power, including where I live. It's very concerning.
Me too even though I live in a blue state. I'm very worried about the GOP SCOTUS justices and the unwillingness of the Biden and the dems to do anything about them - https://hexbear.net/comment/5099065
At Bluesky the libs have been apeshit for weeks about Project 2025. There's one popular post about it after another. They can't stop talking about it. And it drives me insane they don't mention the obvious thing which is radical court reform and then killing Project 2025. Instead it's endless carping about how people must vote and the important thing is that Biden win. But then what?
The dems window of time where they can keep milking reproductive rights for campaigning and fundraising will eventually end. And if Biden wins - they can do that for Project 2025 too. But eventually the public gets very tired of endless promises to do something. They want action. If they don't get it - they'll stop voting in droves. Yet the dems seem intent that their greed for money in campaigning and fundraising leads them off a electoral cliff due to inaction.

Lib political fantasy football - It's over? - Hexbear
The only thing I can do is laugh at how absurd this all is and how powerless anyone is to correct any of it.
How dare you! You can vote!
This is great...
Okay, fine - call me a "bro". I admit that I think it's very bad to have a candidate with their brains leaking out of ears.

And every time, we suffer for it while they run away with the bag.
