I’m disturbed and livid that the mainstream media and others will not stop flooding the zone with “Biden should drop out” stories. Even talking about it signals weakness. Following through would be political suicide---it would hand over the presidency to Trump.
Democrats MUST unite behind Biden right now. At this point in time, he’s the only one who can beat Trump.
I implore everyone not to buy into this “Biden has lost a step” narrative---it’s been deliberately cooked up by Republican operatives (sounds like something out of Steve Bannon’s playbook) and corporate media like the NY Times and Washington Post (all Republican-backed), and, unfortunately, people are succumbing to groupthink and buying into it.
Corporate media wants Trump back in, and they will churn out as many anti-Biden stories as it takes to accomplish that. I’m just sickened that a lot of Democratic politicians and voters have bought into this BS and are now spouting it themselves.
Biden is sharp and knows what he’s doing. He just walks slowly and talks quietly. He had one bad debate because he had a cold and was tired from back-to-back trips to Europe. Suddenly, everyone forgets the State of the Union speech and every other appearance where he’s done really well, not to mention 3 ½ years of the most successful presidency since FDR.
The Republicans double-down for Trump no matter how many times he gets indicted or impeached and no matter how many times he slurs his words, says nonsensical things and admits he plans on being a dictator. And they seem to love that he has a blueprint for destroying our democracy (Project 2025). Meanwhile, he keeps failing upwards.
So let’s stand behind our guy 100%, like they’re standing behind theirs. If we don’t, their guy will win, and all of our freedoms, protections and rights---everything our democracy stands for---will disappear.
Now is the time to double-down for Joe. Don’t project ANY doubt about his candidacy, because if you do, the forces against democracy will weaponize that doubt to further destroy Biden and throw the election to Trump.
What some people fail to understand is that you CANNOT replace an incumbent at this point in the game. Realistically and practically, it is NOT possible to do so and still win. It would just cause chaos and instability, which is exactly what Trump wants. And no one is capable of winning against Trump like Biden is.
I think Kamala is great, but a lot of people don’t like her. We should not replace Biden with her or anyone else. I think Biden has been an excellent president, far better than I ever expected him to be and I have complete faith in him.
Stuart Stevens, one of the few in the media who is advocating for sticking with Joe, has it 100% spot-on. He believes that Biden can and will win---if Democrats fight for him. I agree. (Below is a link to one of his articles).

It’s either Biden or a dictatorship run by a corrupt sociopathic mentally-disturbed malignant narcissist bent on destroying our democracy. If you’re for democracy, you will stick with Biden.
Please unite and fight for Joe!
