People have been raising red flags about Biden's reelection chances for years and every time they were told by the Party to sit down and get in line. It took the worst debate performance in modern political history for the DNC to wake up to how much trouble their hubris got us into

It's the same idiots in charge as 2016. The DNC is a hopeless, corrupt, inept organization. Nobody should be surprised they learned absolutely nothing.

The left wing needs to decide if they want to get serious and start a real grassroots movement to create an actual left wing party. Because the DNC is not it at this point and is almost directly responsible for this Trump mess we are in.

Look what they did to Bowman! Which makes them complicit in genocide in my opinion but I digress... Joe has a rare moment where he can "be" the dominate and deciding voice in that clown car. Deals need to be made. And fast!

On top of which he says he reps the Bronx but is primarily a Westchester candidate

His district was different the first time he ran. NY dems gave him a big swath of Westchester in the redistricting.

No those were "scandals" brought up by oppo research. He was gerrymandered and spent out of office by conservative dems and AIPAC.

The fire alarm stunt was game. You don't seem to have it.
