@sirgeefive I have a similar theory. A poker dealer I follow with a good sense of odds. He wonders if Trump can really make it to election without a major health/mental issue.

Secondly, I think you have a point. This is a repeat of last election, where Biden stayed calm and won. And Trump hit his ceiling while Biden hit the floor.

Third, I think R's desperately worry they'll have to swap out Trump. Note the VP battles.

@sirgeefive Oh *I* wouldn't replace Biden.

But I'm saying I think people can call for it in a non-destructive way.

BTW I will give Clooney credit for one thing, he noted Biden stepping aside might be like what we saw in france, consolodiation. I get that.

But he put the Burden on one person. It should have been "we all have to come together, and I'm sure Biden and everyone else will make the right choice."

By the way I think there are non-destructive ways to ask Biden to step aside.

1) ask privately, publicly say he should make the best choice.
2) emphasize Blue all the way down
3) support other candidates for other positions to emphasize unity.

A reminder that the Russians are trying to undermine Biden. Don't help them by panicking. Focus on defeating the GOP.

We'll sort out the details.

@tgraph52 I think we need to view France as the model. I'll take an election that's "Whatever, I hate Trump" if we win. We sort it out later.

And we sort out the Murdoch Media for what they're doing to us.

White liberal guys panicking over Biden need to be more like POC, LGBTQIA+, and women working hard to elect dems and promote good causes.

Public meltdowns do nothing, it just shows you're now a tool for the Murdoch Media.

So Reform UK, Farage-a-go-go, might have been running fake people? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/08/reform-uk-under-pressure-to-prove-all-its-candidates-were-real-people

Man, watching the Memorandum.com river you can see how obvious it is the NYT is trying to destroy Biden. This is even more obvious than with Hillary.

We need to have Biden's back unless HE decides to step down. Else you're falling for Murdoch propaganda.

The GOP does believe in late-term abortion, as long as it's Ukrainian children being blown up by Russia.

@ellesu I'm wondering if this is the case. As the chaos passed, people are getting organized and pissed. I see more "Vote Blue No Matter Who" people angry at the media.

Honestly, this anti-Biden push in the news feels like PANIC.

Speculation: on top of my others. The UK elections have the Murdoch Media and others concerned.

This is from the New York Post. Wondering if the goal is to push Biden out so the GOP can win on (more) racism and sexism.

OK caught Dungeon Flippers, a nice, wholesome fantasy comedy about fantasy real estate for monster. Great voice acting, good animation, funny. I hope it goes to series. https://www.youtube.com/@dungeonflippers2970

We need to be harder on corporations who have security breaches. One barrier is we still, often unconsciously, think of them as people. https://www.stevensavage.com/blog/2024/07/the-scale-of-victims.html
