Biden allies say 'elites' are disenfranchising voters who want the president to stay in

REHOBOTH, Del. — As President Joe Biden faces a wave of new calls from elected officials to end his re-election bid, his political allies are actively exploring ways to publicly demonstrate he still has widespread support among key elements of the Democratic Party’s base, according to three Democrats familiar with the discussions.

In some cases, the demonstrations of support are organic, coming from organizations and constituencies that are concerned the party infighting is hurting their goal of defeating Donald Trump. They include Black clergy members, as well as Latino community leaders and progressive activists to show grassroots support for the president.

“If the Democratic elites push Biden out and disenfranchise 14 million voters like me, the Democratic legislators are no better than Republicans,” said one top Biden surrogate focused on reaching Black voters. “Democrats lose the so-called save democracy argument, and it will appear racist.”

“There’s some anger out there over the feeling that people are trying to chase the president off the ballot that they voted for,” a senior Biden aide said.

Yet for many voters, there wasn't much choice. Prominent Democrats opted against running this cycle, and the primary calendar was tailored for the incumbent president. Democratic primary voters, in many cases, had no one to choose but Biden — aside from long-shot candidate Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn.

This is beginning to look orchestrated.

Gee dems are in a REAL bind. They can’t KILL BOTH Trump and Biden since both are getting in their way can they? Now that dems said Iran was responsible for the assassination attempt on Trump and that they might try again we can expect more “fake Iran attempts” right? All made possible by the SS.

How do you solve a problem like Joe Biden? (remember the song from Sound of Music)?

This is getting good. Pretty soon the durges will be heard on Television, the black and white stoic picture of “Joe,” and the somber, breathless voices of Norah O’Donnell, Lester Holt, David Muir, and the rest of the Sycophanchors will announce “that we have lost the President..” the swearing in of Kammy, the brokered convention and the Demoncrat Party finally getting what they deserve, a royal pounding at the polls.

Biden’s allies are right.

The Dems were more than willing to let damaged goods go through the primary process as long as they thought the damaged goods had a chance to beat Trump.

When it became apparent Joey was sure to lose, they start raising concerns that should have been raised a long long time ago.

Anyone hoping Biden puts the Party ahead of his own personal interests is likely to be disappointed.

Yeah, but the remaining 75% of Leftard voters who want him gone are feeling “enfranchised”.

They missed. Killing Trump would have made replacing Biden and Harris a lot easier. Trump is nowhere near out of danger, though having a running mate helps.

At least the Democrats are making it clear that they don’t think that the words and wishes of their “elites” apply to them.

When there are taxes to be paid, blackouts to be endured and bugs to be eaten, the deal is that it is Republicans who will be doing these things.

The mandates of the Democrat “elites” must never apply to Democrats.

(Also, they don’t have time to learn another name, other than “Biden”.)

My impression is MSM is still propping Biden up and supporting him. There are many things they are keeping buried that would finish him. I think he will survive and we’ll get the BS “Brave Joe fought back and stood strong for the American people” narrative.

The MSM has gone full schizo—sometimes supporting Biden, sometimes attacking him.

I have never seen anything like it.

Their talking points seem to contradict each other—even one hour later.

Each minority block is fighting for power and control.
It will get quite ugly.
