As a left leaning independent I would like to say just stop it with the wish casting about Joe stepping down. It's too late. Many have said they would vote for a potato, a coffee mug, etc rather than Trump so what makes you think they won't vote for "compromised" Joe? Let him beat Trump, get inaugurated again and then if need be step dow…
As a left leaning independent I would like to say just stop it with the wish casting about Joe stepping down. It's too late. Many have said they would vote for a potato, a coffee mug, etc rather than Trump so what makes you think they won't vote for "compromised" Joe? Let him beat Trump, get inaugurated again and then if need be step down and let Kamala take the reins. And Joe's message is and has been to let him finish the job.
Tim and Sarah hear the answer to your question from a ton of the voters needed - expressed in their own words. I didn't hear from those many who would vote for a soup can or any of the other options you mention, Kelly. Those many are probably in cohorts that are not the cohorts essential now as we watch Joe slip by two points in swing states from his already losing position. I don't have polls, facts, numbers and the rest to offer, but this testimony sounded real to me. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/derangement-vs-impairment-with-tim
She talks about the media's role and the elected politicians. This testimony sounded real to me (and I did listen to the focus group you linked to. Remember to account for the selection process of who they're talking to).
Thanks, Kelly. I listened to this. She is very intelligent, principled, and exceptionally angry and aggressive. I agree with her on the existence of perverse incentives affecting media behavior. I don't agree with her premise that Biden having gotten the delegate votes and voter approval to date automatically and permanently immunizes him from evaluation as time goes on, particularly as many who have supported him (like me) see, with our own eyes and hear him with our own ears and are not feeling that he is right for the presidency now. If he were to have a stroke and be unable to speak at all, by her logic, the press should still support him because she said so. So yes, this person has some legitimate suspicions and concerns, but I don't agree with her conclusions, and don't find her threatening and hostile tone to increase her credibility as an expert on journalism or politics.
Absolutely, the selection process of participants in the focus groups Sarah has organized is essential to understand. With the goal of beating Trump, Sarah assembles groups that might be persuaded to vote Democratic, or at least to reject Trump.
