Despite a week of campaign stops, interviews and a drive to confront Donald Trump, Joe Biden’s efforts to revive his campaign have not stopped the calls for him to leave the race

    It would be the most Democratic Party move ever to push Joe out and announce Hillary again.

      It’ll never happen. It’s such an idiotic thought as to make me wonder what the hell your motivations are.

        If it wasn’t clear I don’t want it to happen…but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.

          This is why things have gotten progressively worse, they can do anything they want, including ignoring their base, and rest assured it won’t cost them votes.

            But the alternative is a gamble on fascism, in a 2 party system you have to pick the establishment you dislike least.

              I don’t have to pick either, I refuse to participate in my own subjugation

                Which means you’ve made a choice, and it’s pro fascism.

                  I’m not the one picking fascists to run the country.

                    But you will be, though. Standing by and not even voting does not mean you are morally superior.

                    Except, by refusing to participate, you are. That’s how our system works. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works.

                Then you are helping the subjugation.

                  Voting for Biden or whoever his replacement is the subjugation, and liberals cheer on their own suppression

                    LOL, and if the Republicans seize power they’ll say “hold my beer” when it comes to any supposed “suppression” being done by Biden.

          Last time we didn’t vote for Hillary we ended up with a fascist Supreme Court. I’ll hold my judgment.

      Harris is even more unlikeable than a corpse and hrc, so the DNC will likely settle on her.

          He’s probably racist, or sexist, or both. People love to assume everyone else has their same crappy views.
