CONGRATS to French voters who massively voted in a rebuttal to crush the far right movement in their nation! Whoever the leader of the party becomes here, unite around that person! We need to help end this worldwide far right movement!

[@annmarieknapp]

Congrats!!! Mad respect to the French!!!

[@Southboundpachyderm]

That person would be Biden or Kamela. The French beat the far right because they did something called a “Republican front”. All the lefties and other liberals dropped out of the race so that they wouldn’t take votes from macron. What you’re describing is what America has been doing for the last few elections now, but I do agree with you that no matter who it is running against trump that we have to put up a front and vote for them. I’m not encouraged by Biden, but if he’s the candidate and he’s not stepping down we have to accept that he still has to win or we are all fucked and it’s going to be civil war. Republicans don’t have enough reach to take the whole country over in some fascistic theocracy. If they win and get their dictator, it 100% means civil war and potentially a permenant end to the United States of America and we will be back to a confederacy of states.

Hearing Americans say 'we're four months out' with a sense of urgency like the election is tomorrow is hilarious to the rest of the world. Most democracies have campaigns that last 1-3 months. In 2015 the federal campaign in Canada was 90 days and everyone was complaining about how long it was.

[@cassandratq9301]

But because ours are so long our candidates need to raise a ton of money. NTL, I think the Convention should open to a two round vote like they use in France. Ask Macron to send a team to set it up for the Convention. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to help.

Agreed. Even if Biden could do the job, it's a moot point because he is going to lose the election.

[@s0515033]

But they think Trump can do the job? This line of logic makes no sense. It seems a no-brainer that even if Biden were to die on stage and be puppeteered by the DNC, it would still be preferable to Trump, who is an actual demon wearing human flesh. The alternative is Trump doing the job.

[@sarahdawn7075]

Really? Based on what? The past 4 successful years as president? Nobody is buying this "the Dems have lost faith in Biden" propaganda. But it's pretty obvious that Republicans are pulling out every trick in the book to give their wildly unpopular losing candidate some slight edge.

[@ComradeCatpurrnicus]

[@timriley4543]

A win or not, I was still pissed off at Dems for forcing Biden down our throats in 2020 *"Because it was his turn"* America hated Trump by 8 million popular votes. Not that Biden was all that popular. Trump was about as popular as "The "Clap" and he should remain as such.

[@interdimensionalsteve8172]

"because it was his turn" is bullsh*t. They did not "shove" anybody down anybody's throat. They had a primary, and everybody else lost. Period.

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

Man, watching the Majority Report lean even further into attacking Biden is really sad even though I could see it coming. Now, here we are, pretending that Biden is considering bowing out, even though he has said the opposite several times, & what's most bizarre is that all of people on the show are very educated & intelligent & even more aware of the various mechanics to the way our systems work. Even if Biden decided to end his campaign, how exactly would that work? Donations, election offices, staff, ads, changing EVERYTHING into an entirely new structure, at this point? And as far as we can see, polls don't suggest that any of the suggestions would make a dramatic difference, AND Biden got even more donations after his bad performance in the debate. Speaking from experience, there is a real danger in being very intelligent & building an audience of supporters, in that we can lose our ability to question ourselves eventually. Pretty soon we just feel so qualified, so smart, so clever, that we derail ourselves completely. And seeing all the comments, supporting this, & knowing that everyone on the show is fully aware of how often supporters don't really understand a lot of the details & just put their faith into the shows they like, there is a real danger of impacting this important election in a harmful way.

[@AwesometownUSA]

maybe they’re just sick of being dependable blue voters who don’t ever get anything in return for their loyalty, blamed for not being _adequately_ supportive, and being gaslit that THEY’RE the problem… and then being expected to just shut their mouths and pretend like there aren’t major issues going on. it’s kinda crazy having to deal with this kind of classic ‘abuser’ behavior from centrists & libs

His rally after the debate was pretty solid. And while everyone's apoplectic because the clear threat Trump represents, Trump didn't exactly score really well in that debate either, and the media, mostly a pro-Trump camp because he ups their numbers, has been laser focused on "Biden old" rather than "Trump lies."

America... Wasn't really all that while it lasted. It's going to be interesting watching it burn now. If the republicans take power. Which due to all this drama. Almost feels inevitable. It's very disheartening. Depressing, even.

Any time a sitting president is ousted in a primary, it makes the party even weaker. If you think the odds of winning are bad now, losing the candidate to a primary challenge or being replaced a few months from election day is an absolute death sentence.

Why is a pizza party with everyone in the room dangerous? Always? Or just in politics?

[@vshazam]

People are generally happier when they're not hungry and more ingratiated to people who bring them food. The boss getting everyone pizza can be sign they're about to deliver some bad news and the pizza is to dampen the reaction. Politics and work places. That's not always the case, but other reasons aren't great either. If management is throwing a pizza party for their employees to show gratitude for their recent hard work, that usually means management just made a huge bonus and employees are basically getting scraps

Biden should abdicate and make Kamala Haris president NOW.

Biden can make amends for pursuing a 2nd term. Biden needs to resign from the Presidency now making Kamala the President. This would at least make it possible for the Democrats to win MI, a certain loss if Biden fails to resign now. Stepping down from the campaign is not enough per Allan Lichtman. Biden also needs to resign from the Presidency now and let Kamala be the incumbent President on the ballot.

The thing that boils me is that THIS is the suggestion that progressives were making in 2020, and were gaslit about. We said that Biden would not be able to last two terms and the consensus at the time was to starting teeing up a successor candidate. And while we'd have preferred it be less of an empty suit than Kamala, if that was the ONLY option, it would at least have been a coherent strategy.

So, I don't think we should be arguing about who replaces Joe Biden, we need to get behind Kamala Harris and focus all our energy on who replaces her as VP.

They don't recognize that it's their OWN under confidence that is playing right into the Republican strategy to get Democrats to dump their winning candidate and increase Trump's chances of winning. Media is awash with cockeyed theories, fear mongering and mis information. It's insulting how low an opinion these people have regarding the intelligence of American voters. We voted in the primaries for our choice for a candidate. We voted for this candidate in spite of the medias' numerous reports of concerns over his age, his "frailness", his stutter, his sometimes quiet voice and concerns over cognitive abilities. We were NOT misinformed or mislead about the condition of our candidate as MR alledges. (By the way, note that MR does not exhibit the same alarm over being mislead regarding Donald Trump's health issues, which is the least of the issues of concern surrounding that candidate.) I resent MR for their efforts to overturn the will of Democratic voters in their selection of a presidential candidate. I don't believe it's within the medias' right to call for the removal of a candidate, especially based on a single performance in a debate. If it were, what candidate would EVER agree to a debate? MR needs to take a step back. My advice is they actually speak with the voters before they assume that the entire nation is calling for the removal of a candidate (especially when it ISNT Trump).
