In a time of unprecedented event after unprecedented event, I think its time that the people do something unprecedented. We don't accept it when the dictator wins and we pull him out of the oval office by his ankles.

Only 2 out of 10 liberals own guns. And likely most live in states that severely restrict ownership. None of us will be able to do anything.
Note to all the concern trolls: This is what an argument looks like that is focused on Biden’s age as a problem and what might be done about it, out of actual concern for achieving a good result for our politics and democracy, without carrying a massive implicit or explicit message “and that’s why we should all be voting for Cornel West instead” and then whining about how everyone is in denial and trying to silence your innocently helpful message when you get a hostile reaction.
Do you make shit up to feed you needs? Is this how it ends?
There is at least a pretty vocal and apparently substantial cohort of blue maga that claim "blue no matter who" but really mean that they won't consider any other option other than Biden. Its clear as day that Biden isn't going to win this thing; we usually don't "know" things this clearly or confidently this far out, but really, the writing has been on the walls for over 500 days. Biden's never been winning in this election, not before the 2024 campaign started, not since.
The reality is that progressives and lefitsts are a minority, if at all present in DNC leadership. This is the same production company that brought you memorable hits like "Kerry 2008" and "Clinton 2016". They really think they know better.
When did corporate Dems like Kerry and Clinton get confused with progressives?
Maybe I didn't make the point clear.
The DNC is run by corporatists, who are bad at running and winning elections. But they, through their spokespeople, maintain a perception of knowing, in-spite of the perpetually increasing body of evidence that they are bad at this thing.
Democrats are bad at politics, and in-spite of themselves, progressives have swooped in to save the day time and time again. Yet they insist they know what they are doing. That they know better.
