Not that anyone is asking me, but I have no idea what the Democrats should do right now. All the options seem bad, and there isn’t one that seems less bad than the others. And as a professional opinion-haver, it’s disorienting to have no strong opinion about something so enormously consequential.
“Get united and work as a team” is the ultimate answer, obviously, though the question is how.
I think they have Biden do his ABC news thing on Friday and if it goes well they get behind him and roll with him. But keep getting him out there, interviews and townhalls.
I don’t know if it’s weird of me but I legitimately couldn’t care less if Biden spent his second term just eating ice cream and wandering the halls of the West Wing all day. His team has served us well and they’re not evil fascists and that’s enough for me at this point
Yep. If these people were serious about this shit, they would have been working to build a bench years ago, and they certainly would not have waited until July 2024 to start making plans.
Even elected politicians act like he's the boss of America, solely responsible for the prices of goods and services, and not just the head of the executive branch
OK, but when I was elected student body president in law school my entire platform was "two free beers every 2nd Friday."
And I made it happen. It's my legacy.
Hell, get through November and even work on a transition team that may take over during the middle of the term so we aren't scrambling a couple months before a convention and also staring down the GOP trying to ratfuck the ballot with deadlines. Get some time to build things up.
And Biden isn't even demented! He's obviously getting a up there, but 20 minutes doing poorly in a debate (where we can't forget Trump was spouting absolute nonsense and Biden improved as the night went on) and the NYT cheerleading for chaos has just broken peoples' brains.
If Joe wants to spend his second term hanging out with his grandkids and playing with the (good!) dogs while occasionally putting someone competent in charge of things, that'd be fine.
