I still don’t think biden will be the candidate in November. But the democrats also have to get rid of Harris. Should be fun to watch how they do

    Disclaimer: I am as far left as you are right

    Biden is doing exactly what the Party wants: make progressive noises when people get too restive, but avoid actually harming the fortunes of the ruling class.

    I apologize for this but I don’t want to read the linked article. I presume the idea is that they might want to remove him because they want to replace him with someone who would have a better chance in the election. While I would be ecstatic if this happened, given the assumption that they do actually want to win, they would have needed to do something before now or we will all be stuck with president Pelosi or someone and no one wants that.

      First, I don’t think anyone actually thinks that biden is making any decisions. There are elite leftists in the executive branch that are the “president”. And they have no problem embarrassing an old demented guy to put forth their agenda. We used to call this elder abuse. If you did look at the article it references the laws and elections and what the options are for the DNC to somehow get rid of both biden and harris. It’s interesting stuff. Sort of how the DNC manipulated the primaries that killed off Bernie, who would have won, to place biden at the head of the ticket
