Biden the Sin Eater

There are probably several Democrats who could get on a stage and just repeat “Abortion” ad nauseum and beat Trump. I think the right is banging on this drum so hard that Trump is unbeatable after this assassination attempt because they want Biden to stay in. Felix made what I think is a very astute observation on the latest Chapo episode when he said that Trump attacked George Clooney for calling on Biden to step down precisely because Trump’s best chance at winning is facing Biden. Plus, Joe Biden is the ultimate proof that being a fucking loser in presidential elections is not an indicator of future electoral success. And so is Donald Trump, for that matter.

There are numerous democrats they could run who would beat trump, the thing is they won’t run any of them. It’d be like Clinton or somebody instead (who’d lose) if there’s any change

I truly think this assassination attempt has made him unbeatable at this juncture. Motherfucker missed spectacularly and the Dems are just counting dollar signs thinking about a Trump presidency at this point.

I honestly think people care more about bodily autonomy than they do about Trump almost dying.

I think you’re right and I think that while he may have an uptick in the polls because of this, it’s still July. There’s a lot of time between now and November for a new candidate to beat him regardless of this moment. However I don’t think the Dems will do that, and after he locks in at the convention they are really screwed when he is still Joe Biden at the next debate.

I think Newsom probably fits that category, absurdly enough.

If we want to feel really old, we can remember that he achieved national prominence before Barack Obama did

It’d actually be hilarious if Biden voluntarily stepped down now because he didn’t want to take the blame for losing to Trump.

Or step down because he accidentally announces it then no correction ever gets issued because he’s really stubborn.
