34. Joe Must be Putting Up a Fight

Fri Jul 19, 2024, 05:43 PM

Jul 2024

As the hours tick by, we can see the pressure to step down is ramping up. Definitely a coordinated effort by our party. I can only surmise that Joe is putting up a fight or they wouldn't continue to breadcrumb the messages. Kamala's phone call with donors will probably be the breaking point. Isn't it so ironic? In order to "save" democracy, our party nullifies our votes, duplicitly removes the legitimately elected candidate, and will slip in the one or ones that a handful of donors are willing to pay for. Breaks my heart.

Why are they all blaming their constituents demanding that Biden drop out? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #14

Polls show two-thirds of Democrats think Joe should drop out. So, yes, his constituents matter. Doodley Jul 2024 #41

That poll also showed majority of Repubs wanted Trump to step down. edisdead Jul 2024 #112

Do you have any evidence that he's lying about his constituents? n/t Shrek Jul 2024 #47
