It's still really funny to me how he almost always has bronzer on after that debate
Especially after the years of libs dumping on Trump for using spray tans lmao
It's 2016 and the DNC is rigging the democratic presidential primary.
It's 2020 and the DNC is rigging the democratic presidential primary.
It's 2024 and the DNC is rigging the democratic presidential primary.
No, it's not rigged because reasons.
The voters have spoken even though there were no other candidates and they cancelled several state primaries after changing the rules for primaries starting so Biden would gain points
They could lock Joe in a replica of the Oval Office and he wouldn't know the difference.
I hate the Democratic party so much. They're giving the election to trump.
Democrats are Russian sleeper agents influencing American politics to get Trump on the throne.
The whole world is a Kremlin. There are women in it, men are all Russian agents.
This is a psychotic idea, literally running away from facing the reality of how little enthusiasm the base has for your candidate
"I'll lose a thousand elections to easily beatable republicans before I cede an inch to what the voters want, especially those disgusting unreasonable progressives"
I think their rationale is they know Biden's completely cooked, Kamala's almost as unlikable, and nobody on their shallow bench wants to become the candidate knowing what a deep hole they're already in. Anyone who has the resume and positioning to be a potential replacement candidate that might actually have a chance against Trump is inherently going to be a careerist ghoul that doesn't want the blame of being the new captain at the helm of a sinking ship to land on them and ruin their chances of being the nominee in 2028.
I think Obama got them addicted to having a candidate charismatic enough to get away with being conservative. Regardless of how charismatic or qualified or whatever, anyone could win the election by moving left. Offering things that everyone wants. I simply don't think the DNC values winning enough to offer those concessions.
They're just giving up. No one wants to stick their neck out. Trump got shot at and had they took a hero photo of him after, and they think that's the end. Even though there's months to go, and honestly this event could probably be used to drive as much dem turnout (if Biden is not the nominee), since MAGA is going to he calling for peoples heads.
I called Biden as the accelerationist choice, and he keeps proving me right. Blue MAGA already existed but its a full on mirror now. Dems competely giving up on "the most important election EVER!!!!!" will hopefully get a some people to realize that this is all bullshit and dems are a deadend
The way I'm reading it, the Biden Faction has three possible futures:
- Have Biden withdraw
- Keep Biden, lose the election
- Keep Biden, win the election
1 and 2 are bad for the Biden Faction because it means the end of their jobs. In the case of 1, the new candidate's Faction would replace them, and in the case of 2, they eat shit and they're muscled out by whatever Faction is currently performing the media coup.
3 is their only path to keeping their Beltway jobs which will launch them into cushy consultation gigs in the future a la the entire Obama administration, so they're going to fight tooth and nail to keep Biden even if the odds are stacked against him. The DNC won't really mind if he loses because then Biden acts as a Sin Eater for the genocide that Democrats have been committing in Palestine and they get to keep fundraising off of the new Drumpf presidency
I think this sums up the calculations for the administration staffers very well
I thought Biden had no chance until I saw this recent interview clip of Biden from the link below.

He's a like a new man. Clear. Confident. Concise. I understand exactly what he is saying. If there are any liberals lurking about reading this and feeling worried, just view the clip and put your mind at ease.
Jesus fucking Christ those replies
Libs are in a different reality at this point. Or maybe it’s just severe denial idk but they really don’t care what the average person thinks about Joe Biden’s brain giving out each time he’s asked a question
Gotta say telling your entire voter base "fuck you" is certainly a novel electoral strategy
Let's see how it goes
The only way to save democracy is through rigging. Holy shit us electoral politics is a fucking joke
Boy i'm sure glad we have all these super delegates who could like prevent this from happening, that's what they're there for, right DNC? Right??
Run out the clock for Biden
Oh, wait, that's not what they meant...
I found a comment that made me laugh
Entire DNC pulling an RBG.
At this point you have to admit it's a culture problem. There is a serious gerontocracy in the DNC, total unwillingness to let go and pass the baton to the next generation.
Biden refuses to pass the torch to Kamala because she once objected to him massaging her shoulders and sniffing her hair.

Less shooting themselves in the foot and more crawling into the loaded barrel of that huge rail-mounted WWI German artillery gun
He’s down to a ticket including a guy who’s friends with Curtis fucking Yarvin, just fucking RESIGN ALREADY
Why even bother with a convention at this point? They were already going to stream all the biting over zoom etc.
Master Joe, do you mind telling me what you're doing linjuring that battle box?
Finishing this, you know, the thing
