Open Thread | Democrats, It’s Time to Fight For Democracy, So Get On Board

This continuing lunacy about replacing the President just needs to stop.

There’s the first thing of completely disenfranchising 14 Million Democratic Voters, who, when given a choice, chose Joe Biden for their nominee.
Then, there’s the thing about giving up the power of incumbency. There are inherent advantages that an incumbent has when running, and we have that now, because President Biden is the incumbent.

Then, there is the entire structure of a campaign.
BIDEN/HARRIS have raised 250 million dollars.
BIDEN/HARRIS have set up the POLITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE in all those battleground states.

NONE of that is transferable.

Then, there is the matter of EVERY STATE having its own election rules and regulations about how candidates get on the ballot. You have to pass hurdles in each of those states.

Then, there is the issue of WHAT RECORD IS THIS MIRACLE CANDIDATE GOING TO RUN ON?
No, seriously…what record …because, surely they won’t be running on the successes of JOE BIDEN as to why THEY are the better candidate.

This was going to be hard enough campaign, with going up against the Republicans AND the MSM who wants Trump back for ratings.

But, these Democrats….they are being ridiculous. Patently absurd.

Let’s just be for real as to what this is all about…
Biden’s age wouldn’t be an issue, if Kamala Harris weren’t Black.

Plain and simple.

THIS is what’s at stake, and people are clowning:

Trump and his Project 2025 allies are planning to force an extreme, anti-freedom agenda on the American people if Trump wins in November:

– Help Trump be a dictator on “day one”
– Ban abortion nationwide
– End access to medication abortion and contraception
– Monitor women’s pregnancies
– Take Trump’s tax handouts for the ultra-rich further
– Gut Social Security and Medicare
– Repeal the ACA and threaten protections for people with preexisting conditions
– Bring back Trump’s inhumane immigration policies that ripped families apart
– Implement mass deportations and put immigrants in detention camps
– Reinstate and expand Trump’s Muslim travel ban
– Deploy the military against Americans
– Direct DOJ to prosecute Trump’s political opponents
– Erode protections for LGBTQ+ Americans
– Ban transgender Americans from serving in the military

Folks, the future of America is at stake this November.

Six Democratic tickets this century. The three all-white ones lost. The three with a Black candidate on the ticket won.

“Replace Joe Biden” entails ignoring how Democrats voted in the Democratic primary. It would mean our answer to Donald Trump posing a threat to democracy is abandoning democracy within our own party. The Democratic base will hear this message loud and clear, and we will lose.

Remove Biden from the ticket and you’ll have a significant amount of Biden voters pissed off, disgusted with the Democratic Party, and staying home on Election Day.
It’s exactly what Trump is hoping for.
Dems snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Understand this:

If Democrats are saying Biden is fine right now but he can’t last another 4 years so we’ve got to dump him now…they are saying they have NO CONFIDENCE in VP Harris (or they don’t want her to be POTUS).

Do you believe they’d really have her back as nominee?

That’s what this really is. If the VP was a white man/woman this wouldn’t be a thing. That’s why they keep saying a new nominee. They’re absolutely trying to step over the VP.

Biden may forgive all who betrayed stabbed the country in an effort to stab him in the back.
He can do that because he got 4 more years.
But Harris and the rest of the good democrats left need to PURGE everyone and everybody who went along with this.
They cannot be trusted.

WARNING TO EVERY DEM TRYING TO TAKE BIDEN-HARRIS OUT: Tread carefully. If you take him out AND skip her, YOU WILL LOSE IN NOVEMBER. This is not a threat. It’s a FACT. Your BASE will be gone. You will create a party civil war that will do irreparable damage for DECADES.
