PANIC: Atlantic writer begs Biden to step down, compares him to RBG for hanging on too long
Not The Bee ^ | June 12, 2024 | Harris Rigby

Posted on 06/12/2024 11:53:26 AM PDT by Red Badger

Have I mentioned that the Democrats and the media, but I repeat myself, have largely entered full-on panic mode over Joe Biden??

The latest outcry from the Left comes from the pages of The Atlantic, and, I've gotta say, this one is pretty harsh.

They headlined this "Ruth Bader Biden."

Leftists have held onto a grudge against one of their favorite Supreme Court Justices, the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, because she refused to retire while Obama was still in the White House to allow him to appoint her successor. Then Trump had the chance to replace her instead.

The Atlantic's Mark Leibovich is painting President Biden with that same brush.

He doesn't mince words.

But here is a broader thematic reality for the president: Bad vibes have been the persistent feature of his campaign. No matter the obstacles Trump creates for himself, Biden remains a comprehensively weak incumbent, weighed down by the same liabilities that burdened him from the start, beginning with the largest, and completely unfixable, one: At 81, he is much too old to run for president. Durable supermajorities of voters still do not want any part of Biden at this age.

His bullheaded insistence on doing something no one has ever done (Ronald Reagan, then the oldest president in American history, was 77 when he retired), along with the unwillingness or inability of Democrats to stop him, remains an existentially risky, potentially disastrous, proposition. The stakes remain appallingly high. If Biden loses in November, that's all anyone will remember him for.

Tell us how you REALLY feel, Mark!!

The author doesn't want to endure four more years of Donald Trump, what with the economic prosperity, world peace, and mean tweets.

So he's blaming Biden's bullheadedness if that happens. Again, this is from The Atlantic!!

In its ongoing effort to console nervous Democrats, Bidenworld keeps trotting out its usual barrage of ‘Don't worry,' ‘Voters haven't really tuned in yet,' and ‘There's still plenty of time left.' It is now June. Is this reassurance or wishful thinking? Does Biden's team have any coherent message about what he hopes to accomplish in a second term, apart from thwarting Trump and staying alive?

...

It is too late for Democrats to do anything about their predicament now, barring some 11th-hour event that triggers an extremely unlikely swap-out of nominees at the Democratic National Convention. Trump and his party keep pushing further beyond the bounds of what would have been unthinkable even a year ago.

Trump 2024 is starting to feel inevitable to the Left.

I think it’s a felony to criticize RBG.

Think about it… if FJB di3d suddenly , even under suspicious circumstances, what would the left do? Celebrate and move on. They would secretly be cheering that he was no longer the candidate. That’s how bad it is with FJB.

Pwesident Harris — can you believe anyone up close, anyone in DC, wants that?

That may be the plan. FJB “dies suddenly”, it’s been happening regularly now so it won’t be suspiscious.

PDJT wins the election by a massive landslide, but the leftists will then claim that is only because he ran “unopposed” / replacement candidate didn’t have chance to get votes, and thereby deny PDJT has a mandate to pursue the promises made during the campaign. Block him / sue him at every opportunity with that talking point.

It's easier for handlers to order a demented fool around over a stupid laughing hyena.

Or somebody takes out FJB, and then they find a rifle and a MAGA hat right next to it.

The only alternatives the Dems have are Newsom, Whitmer and Harris. I think Hillary is out. I think Harris would be the easiest candidate from Trumps perspective. There will be a lot of pressure to nominate Harris anyway, and I think Trump can increase that pressure by nominating Tim Scott as the VP candidate. The Dems will need to one up that by putting a black candidate at the top. And that would also make it difficult to put Whitmer on the ticket because then they would have an all female ticket. So they have to go the Newsom as the VP. Even if the Dems stick with Biden, I think Scott would make it difficult for them by putting more of the black vote in play.

“No matter the obstacles Trump creates for himself,” Notice there are no examples.

Nor can they order the demented one to stay alive for the next fifty-five months.

democrats are so use to following the orders of their masters, it never dawns on them that they could just kick his butt out of the upcoming election.

Several weeks ago there was a story about Democrats going back to RFK Jr., hat in hand on bended knee, asking if he’d come back.

Trump will have enough trouble at Beat the Cheat, without having to carry Tim Scott. We may like TS, but most of the electorate would be underimpressed. Media would be on him like an orca pod on a cornered pup.
