And I'm far from alone.
I'm extremely disappointed in people I used to admire.
The Democratic party has lost its mind.
Cowards vs. maniacs.
That's the choice in 2024.
I could go into why we will lose, and lose badly, if Biden is pressured out, but the dump Biden panic brigade doesn't care.
Biden is older and had a bad debate 3 weeks ago. I guess that is a deal breaker, despite being the most successful and progressive President since FDR.
I hope those longing for a younger candidate to lose to Trump will be fired up, because I will be demoralized and tuned out.
Escapism is the name of the game.
Let the world burn. I won't be paying attention.
I will register as an independent. I will never be a Republican but the Democratic party is losing me.
I'm not a coward or a maniac.
When Trump wins, will you still have the nerve to be shocked and wonder how this happened?
Will Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc apologize for the dumbest political move in history? Or will we get excuse after excuse for why we lost?
And if you think you'll have another chance in 2028... I feel for you. This is probably the last election.
But I can't wait to see these polls that will show Kamala Harris beating Trump by 20 points.
I'm sure she'll never slip up, misspeak or make a mistake ever.
Don't get me wrong... I will vote for her. I like her. I will vote for anything over Trump, but she is not going to win. And it's not really even her fault.
This is the doing of the media, billionaire donors, and out of touch Democratic party elites scared of their own shadow.
You're being played, but you won't realize this until November.
But it's not your fault either...
Billionaires want another tax cut. You can't compete with that.
And I know you just want to beat Trump. You mean well. You don't hate Biden, you just want to stop Trump. You're scared. I get that...
But the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Nothing about this is right.
This feels dirty.
If Biden decided he was not up to it, I'd have to respect that.
But to strategically pressure and push him out is dirty.
Trump will have a field day with this and the voters will punish for it.
I hope I'm wrong, and maybe I am.
But I have a gut feeling I can't deny.
I'm not taking my ball and going home, I'm genuinely disgusted.
I will vote.
But my love and respect for the Democratic party will be gone.
But on the bright side, when the new, younger candidate gets defeated by Trump, I won't be there to say I told you so.
