So Im only going to address the genuine ignorant people out there who I think lean left, but theyre just ignorant as fuck. The TYT, Briahna Joy's of the party who are no different than the "enlightened centrist" they Haye so much.

Those people "concerned" about wanting to replace Biden, would no doubt move on to complain about whoever replaced Biden.

We aren't talking about serious people proposing a realistic solution. We are talking about idealistic people. The same people confused how Roe v Wade was overturned, but champion every reason under the sun to not vote in 2024 for Biden so they can be confused about Project 2025 policies if Trump wins.

Shut up. God I hate this narrative. He is an old man who has the demeanor of an old man. You are not senile because you move slowly or have speaking gaffs. You can want Biden to not be the nominee without saying shit like this.
Come on, you're just being willfully dishonest now.

He's 100% spot on. There is nothing to Biden beyond the fact he's old. People claiming otherwise are just making up bullshit they already told themselves they believe.

Tim Ryan lost in a red state.

Adam Frisch lost in a red district.

Claire McCaskill lost her primary to a Trump endorsed MAGA candidate.

Turner lost the primary because she had made profanity-laced anti-Biden comments ages before her campaign that the opponent spammed in ads against her, there wasn't really anything she could do about the past.

Yang lost because the media attacked him for being pro-Israel while giving Adams a pass for the same thing. Something about how "but progressives are supposed to criticize Israel" even though Yang never in life called himself a progressive to begin with. Granted being pro-Israel was his fault but the media bias was real, literally no other Democrat would get attacked by the media for supporting Israel lmao.

So 4 out of 5 of these were largely unpreventable while 1 was fair but has an asterisk.

Fox wouldnt dream of being this fucking stupid. CNN and MSNBC should be attacking Trumps bullshit 24/7 instead of fucking handwringing.
You've mistaken CNN and MSNBC for Democratic Party outlets. They aren't.

Yeah, I do think it's still possible to win. My most cynical take is that you essentially make Biden fall on the sword and take the blame for the "vibesession". Average voter thinks we're in a recession and that it's all falling apart. Maybe we just need someone to take the [false] blame so that a new person has a clean slate. I've lost faith in the average voter at this point, and if someone new on the ticket, running the same policies is good enough to hype them up, then we do it.
After that debate no one would consider him stepping down to be policy related but a clean slate from typical bs baggage after a term wouldnt hurt. Its less vibes based when you over represent the things theyre most likely to notice, like fast food prices. My Costco food court is now overrun with people clearly on a first date since no one wants to drop $70 at formerly cheap casual meal spots. Biden didnt do that but its life now.

Ive seen some of your most recent posts and were at similar conclusions.

All the people being polled, aren't running for president, which means the media isn't following them around everyday, analyzing thing they says, comment on every outfit they wear, judge them based on every soda they drink. These people all don't have a target on their heads, Biden does.

Once someone gets the nominee all their skeletons come out, they are attacked by press and the other side. No matter what their poll numbers are NOW, they will drop off over the next few months as more information and attacks come out.

So if no one one can secure mass support Biden stepping down means giving up a sitting president.
This is specifically what I was considering when I said or you think the polls would change

You gotta weigh the pros and cons of -new candidate skeletons +crushing Trump in next debate +being able to campaign. Against it being possible this wasnt Bidens off night performance. It was actually the best he can do after 11 days rest and prep on his terms. For all we know, in the next one he could be Mitch freezing levels of disaster or saying something a lot catchier than we beat Medicare.

It's too late to take Biden off the ballot in Republican controlled states. There's a deadline that those states will definitely enforce even if we get idealistic that a dreamboat candidate came along. (Even though I'm confident the same people concerned would just move their "concerns" over the the new candidate with new complaints.)

So what's the realistic proposal here? other than doomerism to help Trump.

Biden is not on the general election ballot in those states yet, those ballots are only filled after the party nominee is chosen at the convention (as long as they do so prior to the deadlines, which have not occured yet).

Ignoring polling data and inventing rules to say we have no shot to win unless we stay hitched to a guy that cant debate, cant campaign, and was thought of as a 1 term guy to begin with in is pretty doomer itself.

It would be one thing if Biden himself were to step down, but I believe forcing the man out would be handing the election to Trump on a gold platter.

It is the winning strategy quite frankly, and it is better for the nation quite frankly. It is only too late when the DNC happens imo. I can't be the only one that keeps up with the trend-lines.

With that said, if Biden is not going to drop out, we need to fully back him and stop attacking him. It really does us no good when we need voter enthusiasm to be quite high. Just got to stop trying to defend against the "Biden is too old!" allegations and go on the offensive with the "Project 2025," "Trump has 34 convictions," "Remember 1/6," and more importantly, "Trump led to Roe v. Wade being overturned, what will happen if he gets another 1 or 2 justices on that court?"

It isn't too late in theory, but it might be too late in practice since the centrists led us down this rabbit hole in the first place.

If Biden gets replaced, and that's a big IF, we need to go all in on whoever we replace him with.

But with the lack of names, there's no consensus. So either we have no one, or we have multiple people who all have their convenient reason for why someone refuses to vote for them.

Divided we fall.

I don't see how they can even do that. Biden is not the official nominee until the convention. No deadlines have passed yet

You assume that Republicans play fair. They have SCOTUS on their side. Remember what happened between Bush and Gore?

Not everyone agrees on that. Some Republicans really are threatening to keep Biden on the ballot, it's just questionable whether that's possible.

I obv dont agree with that either. Itd just be more evidence against the doomerism that says were forfeiting by getting a candidate that can advocate for themself.

This isnt true. You need to get educated on replacing Biden on the ballot in some states isn't the easy thing you attempt to make it out to be given its state controlled. Especially if said state is controlled by Republicans.

This going to the courts to get hashed out, would not be in the Democrats favor. So your hard push for this only serves to help Republicans given Republicans will challenge it, it will go to the courts, and the Supreme Court has a low probability of siding with Democrats.

Then again, something tells me you are aware of this, and just seeking to spread chaos.

It's not about that. It's about causing chaos and making democrats fight on multiple fronts. Take shit to court and tie things up for as long as they can so people are confused on who will be on the ballot, use any of that to try and argue for cutting any kind of early voting, etc...

There are rules for when the deadline is and none have passed. People saying it's too late are fear mongering
