masterpug53 07/22/24 7:42:37 AM #86:	Personally, I was adamant about Biden staying in on the grounds that Democrats needed to sidestep stereotypes for once and present a strong, unified front around our candidate; and the fact that Democrats leaned as hard as they did into said stereotypes of fecklessness and infighting was too depressing for words. It was also sickening that so many Democrats let themselves fall hook, line and sinker for a deliberate and increasingly-obvious media frenzy. I'd like to see the Venn diagram of people who have been complaining for years that we need to be competitive like Republicans, and yet fell on their faces right out of the gate the first time they were met with the challenge of adopting the core fundamental of competitiveness. Based on what I've seen in the past few weeks, I struggle to have faith that Democrats will be able to nut up and shut up the next time a manufactured panic sets in. Having said that, I'd been mentally preparing myself for awhile for the increasingly real possibility that Biden would step down and Harris would take over (she's the only replacement candidate I'm entertaining at this juncture), and now that it's happened, I can at least admit that a weight of uncertainty has been lifted. It's done, the decision's been made, and it's time hop on the Harris train and move forward in this new timeline. A Harris campaign does bring a lot of positives with it (provided her campaign is competent enough to capitalize on them), so I'm choosing to be optimistic and focus on said positives. And the best part is that, now that my side has 'lost' as it were, the burden of justifying my stance has been lifted off my shoulders as well; that ball's now firmly in the court of the people who pressured Biden to drop out. And God forbid should Harris lose in November, I'll be able to console myself by smugly making a topic calling out all the CEmen who singlehandedly caused this loss by forcing Biden out (I won't actually do that since I have a modicum of class and dignity, but still, it's nice that the option's there). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:981403229] in A lot of u... [t:80814231]...</cite> <quote>Personally, I was adamant about Biden staying in on the grounds that Democrats needed to sidestep stereotypes for once and present a strong, unified front around our candidate; and the fact that Democrats leaned as hard as they did into said stereotypes of fecklessness and infighting was too depressing for words. It was also sickening that so many Democrats let themselves fall hook, line and sinker for a deliberate and increasingly-obvious media frenzy.

What was called doomers was the people who were all about rallying behind we are all doomed if Biden runs instead of rallying behind the nominee. Whoever that nominee is against Trump, the party should be unified 3 months before a fucking election against Trump. That and pushing hard for him to drop out based on the doomerism of the above. ......3 months before an election of all times, instead of focusing that energy at Trump? Doomers pushing for him to drop out affects undecided voters and uninformed dem voters. It's basically a self fulfilling prophecy given his own party was collectively focusing their attention on Biden instead of Trump. And my position on doomers will be the same whoever the Dems decide to replace Biden. Whoever they pick, the Dems and the left need to rally behind that person instead seeking every reason under the sun to attack the new nominee over Trump.... like doomers tend to do. That said Dems need to get their shit together and fast who the confirmed replacement will be. 3 months before an election with a party pushing to out their primary winner with no concrete replacement is ridiculous. If Kamala is the replacement, fine, but get the ball rolling on rallying the party and voters on the idea now. --- WAAAH, I CAN'T BEAT THIS GUY WITH HIS TACTICS, I'M GONNA CALL IT SPAM AND CONDEMN HIM FOR USING IT <cite>NatsuSama posted [p:981403567] in A lot of u...
