Biden must get his party to ‘shut the hell up’: Michael Steele

As former President Donald Trump gears up for next week’s Republican National Convention, much of the nation’s attention remains on the slow recovery of President Joe Biden’s campaign after his weak debate performance. Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and host of MSNBC’s The Weekend and former RNC Chairman Michael Steele join Andrea Mitchell on the state of the 2024 race.

[@derekbaker3279]

Exactly. Biden received support from 87% of Democratic Party delegates during the primaries, and 95% of Dem politicians on Capitol Hill have not asked him to step down. The Democratic Party chose the Biden/Harris ticket by democratic means, and the Democratic Party has shown that it is not the party of authoritarianism by allowing 5% of Dem Congressmen/women & Senators to publicly question Biden's appropriateness as the presumptive Democrat candidate for POTUS. However, they have had their say, and Biden is not going to drop out.

Democrats on self destruct while the real danger to Democracy is sitting back laughing. And talking about retirement listening to Andrea is as painful as listening to Biden.

[@belgianbull4722]

Self destruction is sticking with Biden when its clear he is mentally unfit to be president

[@jamesstewart8377]

To tell Democrats to shut up is like telling noise to be quiet. We ain’t quiet and ain’t starting now.

[@wethepeople905]

This is another blatant example proving that those Dems are in it for themselves. They have completely abandoned their constituents. If voters still don't understand that, they are blindly believing everything and anything that mainstream media like MSNBC tells them. The narrative at this point in time is so far from the truth that it actually sounds silly. Just a bunch of puppets doing what they are told to do no matter what. Wait a minute... I think that sounds like a cult!

They must have forgotten who they are employed to serve.. of course they have because while they still take tax funded salary, their ‘incentives’ demand Americans just shut up and accept donor demands.

[@stephenm7025]

"I'm not a member of an organized political party - I'm a Democrat" Will Rogers said, and I use that often as an organizer to jokingly explain why we as Dems allow and encourage real disagreements and open debate - unlike the "totalitarian party" we not only believe in Democracy, we have it as our name. To hear and consider many sides of an issue and welcome input from all parts of our community - and then come to a position that reflects the majority of our members, not just the few with the most $$ or the loudest or the ones currently sitting in seats of authority within the party structure - that's what we believe in and try to stay true to. Obviously sometimes we fall short (2016) and it is harder to ignore the importance of big $$ to present our message in this current post Citizens United, corrupt environment. The diversity of opinion and welcome of open discussion from ALL people is what separates us from the GOP. And like any big family, once the discussions are done and the candidates and issues are agreed upon - We Are United. The media can make fun and dramatic predictions until our convention - but after August 26 WE ARE ALL DEMS and we will fight to defend our Democracy against the corporate corruption and Fascist threat to this country.
