a traditionally blue state
Yes.
Look, I’ll vote for Brandon. I’ll vote for any D, period. But he’s completely fucked. He needs to fuck off and we need someone else.
The “someone else” is the part I’m more concerned about than his stepping down. Who would ensure a win with a four month campaign?
No one. Tons of people have been over this recently. Last time such a scenario happened was when LBJ walked away in 1968 and Nixon was easily swept into power. The parallels are uncanny. Anyone calling for Biden to walk away at this stage are completely ignorant or acting in bad faith.
LBJ walked away because RFK was likely going to dominate him in the primaries. This situation is much more bleak for Democrats because their isn’t a well known and well liked alternative like there was in 1968.
Yeah if Biden had promoted someone else starting a while back it would be different. But everyone calling for this now is playing with fire. They’re more concerned about not losing than rallying around Biden to win. Pushing him out at this point is going to cause enough disruption to guarantee Trump wins.
You know if Biden stepped down and showed he actually cared about the country by campaigning for the new candidate it wouldn’t matter.
Acting like a new candidate will be the downfall of the country is just as bad as a bad faith argument. Throwing your hands in the air and saying “oh well that’s how it is” is stupid. We don’t have to accept Biden because he is the incumbent.
Ok, so I’ll just vote for the proven pedophile, traitor, racist, transphobe and convicted felon. /s
Get this garbage outta here. Fuck Trump.

A Republican hasn’t won New Jersey in 40 years. Biden needs to go. Put somebody better in.
New Jersey can embrace politicians who are corrupt assholes, but cannot abide ones who have a set bedtime.
Seems like that’s the case. So do we ignore it because it’s hypocritical?
What else is there to do? There is no appeasement of hypocrites.
Losing NJ because you dont want to appease hypocrites is pretty silly.
We can vote someone better in 4 years, but he’s so so much better than trump.
but he’s so so much better than trump.
The thing is, New Jersey seems to disagree. That’s why we need a stronger candidate than Biden. I know that realistically, he’s probably the safest candidate against Trump, but that doesn’t mean that we have to be happy about it.
