It appears so-called Democratic Leadership currently doesn’t understand who is actually currently President and the leader of our party. They each fancy themselves some sort of Kingmakers and want to bypass Joe and Kamala entirely. Here’s a question for you: Do we let them?
Here is the White House email contact form. If you feel Joe Biden should stay in the race, contact the White House and let them know:
www.whitehouse.gov/…
To be blunt, I cannot stop people on the site who think Biden should step down from emailing their thoughts too. But isn’t that how it should be? Shouldn't it be up to those of us who voted for him in the primary in good faith to make that decision and give Biden our input? Why should the media and so-called Democratic leadership be allowed to take our voices away?
Here is the email I sent:
"Please do not drop out, President Biden. According to Allan Lichtman's famous 13 Keys model, you are the best chance we have of keeping the Presidency. Dem leadership is concerned we'll lose Congress and the Senate? So what? We can work to get them back in 2026. But we NEED the White House and we need to defeat Donald Trump, and I believe you are the only person who can do it.
Barack Obama is WRONG, Nancy Pelosi is WRONG, Adam Schiff is WRONG. And the polling suggests you are still competitive. And you have four months to get skeptical people off the fence.
Yes, the media is against us. It was in 2022 too and we did shockingly well.
Stay in, Joe. Win, and make the media and the big money donors trying to push you out for helping the American people irrelevant going forward.
I know it's hard getting it from nearly all sides but AOC has your back. So do Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman and the Congressional Black Caucus. You have done amazing things and worked against harder odds before your whole life. We need you in this now more than ever."
We are fighting for our Democracy. Don’t you think people who voted in the primary should have a say then? This feeling of hopelessness is because the media and the Democratic Leadership want to take away our power. Do we let them? Do we roll over? Or do we give President Biden OUR honest opinions?
I hope Biden gets a TON of letters of support, but even if you want him to drop out, you have as much of a say in this as any other Democratic voter. Kos was always talking about Crashing the Gates. Are we simply get stand aside and let people take away our actual power and voices?
I refuse to do that and so should you, no matter WHERE you stand on the side of the debate. It should not be up to the media, or George Clooney, or Adam Schiff, or Nancy Pelosi, and not even Barack Obama. It should be up to us.
These people WANT you to feel powerless. Take it back. It’s yours. Do not give it up without a fight.
UPDATE
Seraph4377 had a GREAT idea in the comments. Email and call your Dem Congresspeople and Senators to tell them you support Joe Biden too. Especially if that Congressperson has been publicly saying Biden should step down.
UPDATE 2
I read a VERY interesting article from Seth Abramson about Biden’s faculties yesterday. Long story short: The senility accusations are all bullshit. I linked the article in a post today, somebody was bowled over by it, and asked me to do a diary about it. I was like, “No way man, that’s asking for a flame-broiled pie fight.”
But now I’m thinking, “While I’m here...”

To be absolutely clear, this does not REMOTELY change the fact that the media is out to destroy Joe Biden. If we stay with him we have to factor that in because the truth doesn’t matter to the media. But it should matter to US, and if one of the reasons you want Biden out is because you BELIEVE those stories, please read the article. It’s long as hell, has receipts, and proves to me at least this coordinated effort was never done in good faith.
