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.

DeSantis was supposed to beat Biden.

MAGA got in the way.

I was standing at the ready waiting for my squishy moderate good friend to tell me.. right on cue from the media after the midterms... “Trump’s dinner with Kanye West was the last nail in his political coffin.. DeSantis is much better anyway... We need to move on!!”

It’s so great that MAGA saw DeSantis for who he was and went on the attack with all the names like Meatball, Rhonda, and elevator shoes.

Once the squishy moderates saw that he was damaged goods, they slinked away.....”I guess we can’t beat Team D with him...and beating Team D is all that matters, even if we only end up with someone who’s just a teensy weensy bit better than the guy from Team D”.

We cannot overestimate how much the Deep State was depending on MAGA being convinced to go with DeSantis, by all their squishy moderate friends, relatives, neighbors, and coworkers.

The MSM has gone full schizo“

I think they are conflicted. They could start binging out all the devastating stuff they have been sitting on but if it still does not work and he stays they will have shredded what is left of his viability. Right now even after all this he is still only down less than 5 points in the swing states. On the other hand many elements in the MSM want to knock him out. So they are conflicted.

Does anyone think the demonrat voter will not vote if it’s not biden? Think the gals on the View will stay home? Any of the people saying things like, next time don’t miss? It doesn’t matter who’s the party candidate. They will vote to get rid of Trump. That’s the point of all these hate Trump stories. It’s to rile up their voters, keep them foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs. Dear leaders will worry about the fallout later.

Excuse me.....I thought Trump was going to destroy “Democracy?”

You mean that the Democratic Party elites want to “...push Biden out and disenfranchise 14 million voters like me....”

Oh my, the Republicans are the party of Democracy.

Typically no. But I’m not going to dare to get into the minds of a Biden supporter that wants him to continue to run not to mention continue running this nation in his state of mind.

October 31 President Joe Biden will offer to stay in the WH beyond January if necessary until the elites in the democrat party figure out this mess.

It’ll be written by Jill Biden

Voter disenfranchisement was okay back in 2020, when they pressured all of Biden’s primary opponents to drop out of the race. But now they have a problem with it.

He’s a Biden voter who feels disenfranchised?

“This is beginning to look orchestrated.”
_______________

I have been wondering the same thing ...are we being “played?”

On the other hand, the recent poll that indicated 34% of registered Dems believe that President Trump “staged” his own assassination attempt indicates there is a significant level of delusion amongst the Dem base; so, I remain cautiously optimistic.

We should encourage both Dem factions to: “Fight! Fight! Fight” 😁
