    My problem with the whole thing is there hasn’t been anyone stepping up and saying how about me. I haven’t seen any mention of any actual names whatsoever.

    You gotta decide what else to make before you dump the water.

    I could be wrong, idk.

      Anyone who has enough name recognition to get into and be a competitor to Biden isn’t going to turn traitor against the party’s incumbent unless he explicitly bows out. If they’re seen as ousting Biden… it’s going to be a shit show of epic proportions. look at the criticism that phillips took. (And philips is basically a younger version of Biden.) In the primary, the only candidate to get on the ballot in more than half the states was Biden. Most got on around half the states, give or take.

      Most of the states only had a ballot because they were legally obligated to. the 2024 Primary for the DNC wasn’t a real primary.

      They will. We’re “just on the other side” of a whole paradigm shift. Its only been a week and we’re still a good bit out from the convention.

      It should be telling that Newsom was on screen within 15 seconds of the debate, and Kamala about the same “surrogating” for Biden. Whats them applying for the job.

      Marianne Williamson offered her candidacy post Biden’s debate debacle. The billionaire-owned media isn’t reporting it.
