    Woof. I disagree w/ this 100%.

    The article insinuates he has unwavering support from Congress when in actuality he has tepid support and uncertainty among his contemporaries.

    Also, the donors are pushing back so hard not because they are ‘elite’ but because they were also at the Clooney fundraiser where Biden sh!t the bed there as well w/ a performance that rivaled the incoherence of the debate performance. They are of the opinion that this isn’t a one-time thing and is in fact the writing on the wall.

    Here’s the hosts from Pod Save America discussing it: (timestamped) https://youtu.be/vbVcn_VQt5A?si=5cqL5NMuUigvbps4&t=1425


  • We (read: Dems) can rally around him all we want. The point of the debate was to convince independents, uninformed voters never-Trumpers so that the polls start to look more favorable. Biden failed to do that and has no meaningful opportunity to do so for the rest of the campaign.

    The informed Democrats can rally around him as much as they want, but he is still falling short, which is why a pivot seems risky but like the only real shot left
