    I’m not sure I trust anyone who labels themselves a “top Biden ally” to be honest. They definitely couldn’t be biased in any way, right?

      It’s literally the people running his campaign…

      “I think he’s the only Democrat who can beat Donald Trump,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a Biden campaign co-chair, said during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week.” “And let me tell you, we had the single best day of grassroots fundraising after the debate.”

      And that’s not even getting into how those are pro-Biden donations so much as “please for fucks sake someone stop trump” donations that literally any Dem candidate would be receiving.

      It’s what happens when you insist on running back to back campaigns on just not being the other guy…

      Like, cool bro, we know the other guy sucks, but why are you here?

      We could have someone we actually want instead, who is also not trump and have the same level of voter support.

      From a cold emtionaless perspective, there is just literally no advantage to Joe Biden being the nominee.

      And this election is more important than Joe Biden’s feelings. We shouldn’t just let him have this one, it’s not the last fucking cookie, it’s deciding who has the best shot of stopping a fascist takeover of the country.

      Not to mention him dropping out would be acknowledging their personal failure and likely eliminate some of their jobs. Anita Dunn is one of the people directly responsible for this, but if she can gaslight us all she can continue her revolving door “consulting” (a job status selected so she wouldn’t have to release financial information).
