There's not much canetoad Jul 21 #32

For the first time in months I'm confident we're going to win! Goodheart Jul 21 #33

I am curious as to why you feel that way...we have no candidate, a contested convention most likely, issues with Demsrule86 Jul 21 #67

We will certainly have a candidate: Kamala. There won't be much contest about that. Goodheart Jul 21 #72

It will be a contested convention so that is not assured. And I have seen posts. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #97

I may be wrong, of course, but I'm feeling much better today than yesterday. Goodheart Jul 21 #100

I guess we find out in November assuming we get on the ballots where we need to. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #102

Not sorry I feel doomed. LakeArenal Jul 21 #38

You weren't cheated. You voted for Biden with Harris as his backup if you goes out.. SunSeeker Jul 21 #47

Don't you dare tell me who voted for. LakeArenal Jul 21 #49

How dare you claim Joe is not exercising his own good judgment. SunSeeker Jul 21 #54

I dare. LakeArenal Jul 21 #56

Support Democrats. We need you. There is no time for despair. nt SunSeeker Jul 21 #57

I support Democratic candidates just fine. LakeArenal Jul 21 #65

Your negative posts are not supporting Democrats. nt SunSeeker Jul 21 #71

My negative posts are about what happened today. LakeArenal Jul 21 #79

Your negativity is exactly what Republicans want. Don't give it to them. SunSeeker Jul 21 #86

That is your opinion. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #98

He was forced out...it had nothing to do with his judgement...put it on the donors who care more about bit coin Demsrule86 Jul 21 #70

Unless you have a billion dollars laying around, we need the big Dem donors. SunSeeker Jul 21 #75

Really so you are OK with them picking our nominees going forward? Demsrule86 Jul 21 #99

I am OK with the delegates voting. Party rules provide for this. nt SunSeeker Jul 21 #119

Now the money people know that if they don't like a bill Bettie Jul 21 #104

And that is a real problem going forward. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #109

Yep....I'm certainly not going with the Bettie Jul 21 #112

And you've had personal conversations with him to know he was not exercising his own judgment? n/t Ms. Toad Jul 21 #108

He was forced out by Donors..OK so please let's agree to disagree. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #116

I'm with you, Butterflylady Jul 21 #93

Nope. I disagree. Hey I will vote for whoever the nominee is but I question with the money thing if all Democrats will Demsrule86 Jul 21 #53

You didn't vote for Biden Harris in the primary? Come on. SunSeeker Jul 21 #60

I voted for Joe Biden as the nominee and Kamala Harris as his VP...so no it is not the same ticket. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #73

Recent polls have shown Kamala does the same or better than Biden--even in PA. SunSeeker Jul 21 #82

NO it is not. The person we voted for was forced go step down what nine weeks before the election? Demsrule86 Jul 21 #62

Yes. LakeArenal Jul 21 #68

I don't know about you, but I voted for the Biden Harris ticket. SunSeeker Jul 21 #83

Well threre is no Biden /Harris ticket now is there and there won't be going forward. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #101

Voting for the ticket meant you approved Harris as Joe's backup. SunSeeker Jul 21 #106

Please don't blow smoke up my butt...Joe was the presidential candidate. It is not the same ticket. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #110

It is you who is blowing smoke up people's butts and trashing our likely nominee. SunSeeker Jul 21 #117

Same...talk is cheap. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #59

And the price of exerted pressure may be very costly. LakeArenal Jul 21 #69

Thanks. I'm trusting Joe's judgment until something can prove him wrong. Hermit-The-Prog Jul 21 #39

Don't put this on Joe...it will never be his fault this happened. If we lose, it's not because of Joe. Demsrule86 Jul 21 #63

Yep, don't blame Joe for this. LisaL Jul 21 #74

I said nothing about "blame". I assume Joe Biden is going to do what he thinks is best for us all. Hermit-The-Prog Jul 21 #123

President Joe Biden makes his own decisions. Yes, he's been subjected to outrageous pressure. Hermit-The-Prog Jul 21 #122

I am not in despair. I am ready to GOTV for Harris! SunSeeker Jul 21 #45

It's gotta work out. We still got this. bluestarone Jul 21 #48

How do you think we got this...we are heading towards a contested convention. We have issues with getting any Demsrule86 Jul 21 #58
