‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’ - eviltoast

One House Democrat said he spoke for others in the wake of the president’s stunningly feeble debate performance on Thursday: “The movement to convince Biden to not run is real.”

The House member, an outspoken defender of the president, said that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should consider “a combined effort” to nudge President Joe Biden out of the race.

Crestfallen by the president’s weak voice, pallid appearance and meandering answers, numerous Democratic officials said Biden’s bet on an early debate to rebut unceasing questions about his age had not only backfired but done damage that may prove irreversible. The president had, in the first 30 minutes of the debate, fully affirmed doubts about his fitness.

A second House Democrat said “reflection is needed” from Biden about the way ahead and indicated the private text threads among lawmakers were even more dire, with some saying outright that the president needed to drop out of the race.

    Biggest climate change law ever, forgave student loans, pardoned homosexual acts on the military, stood in picket lines, got railroad workers sick days, appointed a trust buster to the FTC.

    Plenty more. And he’s not trump. Got my vote and Anyone who isn’t a complete dumbass, their vote too. Don’t forget about who will pick new SCOTUS justices too.

      He forgave very few student loans. The first attempt was predictably blocked. The second attempt is Actually impossible to qualify for. I am a first responder. To qualify you have to have made on time payments through a qualified payment plan for 10 years. If you ever changed jobs that 10 year timer resets. And if you make on time payments for 10 years your loan would be paid off already anyway, we arent walking around with a doctorates. There are forums and forums of people trying to figure out how to qualify and no one does. It is all just posturing and pretending they tried. Everything else you said is a gimme and par for the course. Only thing is Trump would have been far more productive in the opposite direction. So there is that.
