    No, our goal is to steer Democrats to produce a candidate that will beat Trump in November.

    If Biden continues taking planks from the Republican platform then he won’t win.

    If Biden appoints an AG that completely ignores Republican crimes and instead appoints special counsels to trash Biden, then he won’t win.








  • It’s wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it’s “Bidenomics” says the economy’s great, why won’t you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden’s too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden’s had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden’s net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they’re scared of. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.







  • Biden is the worst candidate of the bunch by that metric. His favorability is 17 points underwater right now, and he’s losing to Trump in most recent polls by around 4 to 6 points. And keep in mind that that’s measuring popular vote, not electoral votes. Hillary won the popular vote by 2 points and still lost the election. Biden needs to lead Trump by at least 3 points to even have a chance, it took a +4.5 margin to win last time around. And while we’re comparing to Hillary, her favorability was only 15 points underwater in October after the Comey report.

    Cornel West would be a way better choice. Even Dean Phillips would be less bad of a choice (y’know that whole “lesser evil” thing and all that). In polls, a generic Democrat leads Trump by 6 points.

    But it’s all a moot point because Democrats keep shutting down primaries and removing candidates from the ballot. They’re attempting another coronation just like they did in 2016 - why would any candidate try to run when the party leadership is shutting them down?
