The Boston Globe has joined the New York Times, and numerous other Democrats, in begging President Biden to step aside.
It's starting to become like a song on repeat. You know it's the end when donors, megadonors, media outlets, and even left-wing politicians call the President out for betraying them and sinking the Democrat ship with his stubbornness. Their cries fall on deaf ears and they are learning what it feels like to have their interests put aside for one man's political agenda. Welcome to the world of the Democratic rule.
The Boston Globe's board expressed disillusionment and fear for the future of the country in their letter.
“The nation’s confidence has been shaken,” the board wrote, and the question still remaining goes beyond whether or not the president can win to whether or not he can rule.
Either way spells disaster for the Democrats. There is no easy way out for them now.
Biden’s legacy is on the line, the board claims. “If he leaves the race now, his party will hail him as a hero. If he stays in and loses, it will be a disaster for the country.”
While they call on Biden to bow out, legally it's not that easy. And even if it were, there really isn't a good candidate that they can bank on beating Trump. VP Kamala Harris is the closest she has ever been in the polls but is still 2 points behind Biden.
She isn't collectively popular even among Democrats and this is the highest burst of approval she has received, most likely out of necessity.

Still, the Boston Globe is optimist about the other choices:
“A bevy of potential candidates — from Vice President Kamala Harris to the governors of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and California, to name only a partial list — are waiting in the wings to take on Trump. All that they need is for Biden to graciously bow out of the race and free his delegates to cast their votes for someone else at the Democratic National Convention,” the board wrote.
Even if the Democratic party wanted to switch out their candidate, it would be very hard if not impossible now. The easiest path would be for Biden to voluntarily step aside, but experts are saying that wouldn't necessarily create a smooth path for someone to take his place.
The Boston Globe challenged other leading Democrats to use their leverage to save this burning ship.
Top Democrats now need to step up to persuade Biden to call it quits, the board wrote, naming former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi; and South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, “the man who did more than anyone to make Biden the nominee in 2020.”
While their letter is touching, the decision has been made. Biden is clear he won't step down. Republicans can sit back and enjoy the validation of everything they have been saying about Biden's health being proven true. Hopefully, this will lead others to see the light about the true nature of the Democrat party.
They don't have the best interest of the group in mind, only the interest of the few at the top. That is against everything America stands for, and it's due time that their ways are exposed.
Ahem. Don't forget about Jill, Hunter and the rest of the crime family.
“If he stays in and loses, it will be a disaster for the country.”
If he “wins” it will be a disaster. I wonder if they are thinking “It can’t be Joe. Then everyone will KNOW we rigged the counting.”
The MSM & Team Biden together made sure Biden remained uncontested throughout the Primaries.
The biggest obstacle is Jill Biden’s death grip on the White House drapes. The August Vogue magazine has “Queen” Jill on the cover.
It’s good to be the queen. It’s also good to have your husband able to pardon all the family members for their serial felonies. If the “big guy” is gone, son Hunter is facing even more felony charges and might spend the rest of his life in federal prison. Jill might end up with her own special prison cell.
I don’t think anyone can FORCE Biden to quit.
“I don’t think anyone can FORCE Biden to quit.”
The cabinet can under Amendment XXV. They are all Democrats I suspect.
Not one will want to be among the losing side.
Joe is not the only nasty Democrat.
One of the great “strategies of war” is to leave your enemy a number of options, all of which are BAD. All of the cups from which the enemy here must drink contain deadly poison.
All pretense that they are "fair" and "unbiased" has been torn away.
“President Joe Biden’s Cabinet includes Vice President Kamala Harris and the heads of the 15 executive departments — the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General. Additionally, the Cabinet includes the White House Chief of Staff, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, the Director of National Intelligence, and the US Trade Representative, as well as the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Management and Budget, Council of Economic Advisers, Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Small Business Administration.”

They’ve been biased since JFK was shot and probably much longer.
I think dishonest might be a better word.
That’s far more recent. It probably dates from the time Internet subscriptions mattered.
Now is the time when the DNC and the voters with march lockstep, and vote en bloc for whatever trash is put in front of them. They’ve proven this in past elections. The emo-wives club won’t let them down either. They are hardcore.
The GOP needs to step up and learn this tactic if there’s going to be a clean sweep. It’s time to put aside personal ethos and slam the ticket!
The Sanders movement was moving forth in this tactical approach in 2020 until the DNC machine pulled out the daggers and cut Sanders loose... with pay.
