As I’ve told many people wringing their hands over Biden…Harris would be the backup candidate regardless. Now, or deep into a second Administration. Either way, vote Blue.

I also follow up with “An empty chair would be a better President than CFDT”.

This country won't elect a woman president. Elect Joe, and if he wishes or must he can then pass the torch into capable hands. Problem solved, no hysterics required (other than to sell papers and fill cable content).

And while we're here, ask why TFG needs to choose a new VP.

RIGHT — because his loyal followers threatened to hang the last one, and DJT egged them on!!

They definitely won’t elect Biden as he is now either. The young voters will not come out for him. Biden will loose this November

Yes, but the terrifying truth is that Biden will NOT win! The swing voters he relied on in 2020 will not come out for him. I agree with you that he has been a great president and yet his approval ratings are in the low 30th. They are because of his age!!! That has not gotten any better since the debate debacle where it became so clear for everybody to see that Biden is in cognitive decline. That is the reality!

The sky is not falling. Young voters have discovered Project 2025 despite the corporate media, and they are ready to mobilize. It is our job to make sure no one forgets in the next four months. Chin up. There is indeed reason to worry, but best to turn your fears into fighting. All is not lost until we say it is.

Can the Biden campaign get on TikTok and share about Project 2025?

I imagine so, but we shouldn't wait around for them to act. I'm not on TikTok, but I bet this guy is.

Agree, I “follow” him on YT as well—very spot on in his commentary.

Yes, and I like his energy.

If you READ the debate it becomes crystal clear that Biden is NOT in cognitive decline, that he actually won. It’s up to us to explain the contents of Project 2025 to the younger voters and swing voters. One of the authors called it Trumpism institutionalized. People need to put quotes from it on all social media clearly defining them as Trumpism institutionalized, with source.

Thanks, Pilgrim, that’s what I’ve been telling folks to do—read the transcripts of both of them & it becomes crystal clear who’s “got it” and who “lacks it”. Ridin’ with Biden/Harris!

I share your concerns, Tanja. The majority here are trying to just hold out for a few more months and hope that Biden finishes strong. With some good press on what the Biden Administration has done and continues to do, maybe he will. (I would cancel the second debate, however.)

I would like to know how you envision any other candidate than Biden beating trump. Changing candidates now — no matter who it is — will piss a lot of people off. I don’t see how unity around another candidate will. At least with Biden we have a great track record to run with. If Biden can’t finish another four years we Harris backing him up.
