Don't tell me to chill the fuck out bro, our party is propping up a man who has NO BUSINESS running a second term as our "strongest" choice.

You had a bad debate once...that is correct. You also said some really dumbass things...but your "bad debate" happened in your 50's...not your fucking 80's.

This clown man...stop defending this shit and trying to unpanic the party members. We have EVERY RIGHT to be freaking out, and it's YOU and the party's fault for not giving us someone with more of a fighting chance instead of a placeholder.

Like form a god damn huddle with your other seating colleagues and figure this shit out, NOW, not later. America ain't got no time for a later. Biden needs to be out on a train ride somewhere enjoying his retirement, not scaring the ever loving hell out of millions of people with the realization that Trump can actually win. He is NOT as strong as he needs to be, stumbling over his words and looking like he is about to pass out from exhaustion. We can't have that shit being portrayed all over the country and the world. We can't.

So tired of this moving goal posts namby pamby bullshit. The utter audacity. Learned not a damn thing from RBG, or Feinstein. You guys are going to kill this dude because you are too damn lazy and scared to step up to the plate.

Fucking cowards. Grow a damn spine and fight for our country. I didn't give 5 years of my life to this country for ya'll to play tiddlywinks and play grab ass. Give me some semblance of security that our country is even worth it anymore, because I believe it is, but I ain't seeing that fire from ya'll.

This exactly, but I've seen it before - weak ass candidates my whole life. Carter couldn't win, but still, he was the incumbent.

Then there's Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry. Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry had no guts in their campaigns. No one was excited about them. H. Clinton and Biden are the same, they do not drum up excitement, they are just better than the complete shitshow the other side is running.

How can we not have someone that destroys Trump on that stage? How? I feel like a 12 year old child could have beaten him.

Gore

He won 2000 fair and square. The same people behind project 2025 stole it from him.

True, but he won it barely, and not enough to count when it needed to matter.

and not enough to count when it needed to matter.

Except that the Florida ballots were never fully recounted.

Exactly, not enough to count, unfortunately.

Because not all the votes were counted.

Unfortunately not enough counting if I recall.
