Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can't help but notice the anti-Biden "left" shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.
Almost like the people stoking these fires don't really care about left issues at all.
When was the last time a sitting president had a primary?
Biden and Trump are sitting within 1.5% in polls right now, it’s neck and neck.
It was 1980 , which was also the last time a democrat had an approval rating this low . Before Carter that was lbj and at least he had the good sense to not even run.
Did you miss the part where Biden and Trump are neck and neck in the polls?
Why change 44 years of tradition if they’re both within the margin of error?
Fuck tradition, this election is unprecedented. His opponent is a CONVICTED FELON and he's still down in the polls. He has historically low approval numbers, is the oldest person to ever take office, and his opponents seem lined up to deny the election and orchestrate a coup regardless of the result.
Also we still have the electoral college, being neck and neck and barely squeaking by 1% will not win us the election. Hillary won the popular vote by 2% and still lost. Biden had to win by 4.5% to win a close race in the electoral college by barely taking Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona, states where he's currently down by 2-5%.
The situation is not looking good and the stakes are high after the supreme Court ruling. Something's gotta change, whether that be Joe stepping down or his team hopping him up on Adderall and going on a mass speaking and press tour to ensure the American people.
it's not 44 years: it's two. 1996 and 2012 were the only years a sitting Democrat ran for president.
I’m talking about a sitting president, I don’t care what party they are in.
oh, i don't have republican traditions.
Ya sure do. Misinformation and bad faith arguments all corner stones of Republican traditions.
Now report my comment like you always do.
I would have thought that mods would start picking up on that type of behavior.
jill stein is not in the gop. calling another user names is your prerogative, but it has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't have any bearing on whether we should break with "tradition". this is basically a string of bad faith an non sequitur attacks in the guise of a comment.
Cool story bro.
Those numbers are from polls taken before the debate. According to leaked internal polls, Biden is down in Pennsylvania (which is the tipping point state) by 7.3%, following what was the worst week of the campaign. Once new polls come out, we'll get a clearer picture of how much further behind he is than he was before.
