Edited to add a request for recs, since we’ve gotten over fifty votes in minutes, but only a few recs. those poll votes might at least give us some idea where we are here on dk. thanks.
In all the postings about whether Biden should stick or go, I have not yet seen this poll and reading the comments leads me to believe we are pretty evenly split.
Obviously, this is unscientific, but it might at least give us a better view of where our own numbers come down on this, so we might better gauge what gets reported outside of our little paradise.
In the name of transparency, I am honestly confused and more than a little distressed on this. I have been solidly in the keep Biden camp, but have been worn down some and rethought and argued it might be time to ask him to step aside. I could swing back with the next bit of news or illustration of his strengths. I honestly distrust those with too much confidence either way. It isn’t ageist to ask if a man in his eighties might have diminished, since it can happen quickly. It also isn’t wrong to think we should stick with the most successful first term president in at least half a century.
Please, let us keep in mind that people of good faith, all wishing for the same end result, may truly differ on this without ulterior motives or hidden agendas.
It just seems like it might be helpful, if we actually had a better idea where we all stand within this ultimate Democratic community, since we are all wary and distrustful of just about everything that moves right about now.
So…
Please vote and be kind to one another in the comments.
