    How do they think we arrived here, with calls for Biden to step aside growing by the day, donations drying up, all making Biden’s exit closer to a reality. Turnout in key states for the 2024 Dem primary were down compared to 2020 during covid. This is on top of the undecided/uncommitted vote campaign. Coupled with consistently dropping poll numbers, how else could we explain the current state of affairs.

    To me it seems obvious that when the population withholds their vote and threatens to withhold it by utilizing uncommitted votes, as a mass movement, the establishment flinches. This game of electoral chicken is still unfolding, but these calls to exit the race are what I believe is the flinch in slow motion.

      I hope that’s the case cause that’s the only explanation I’ve got for why the media turned on biden so hard and fast. I feel like I’m missing something.
