    Seriously. This is a pretty mild list of semi-proven politicians with national recognition. Warren (or maybe Franken) are the only ones I can see being potentially controversial and even they’re both still broadly liked within the party.

    Also, how does someone who’s not familiar with Kelly or Duckworth have a strong opinion about who’s controversial in the Democratic party? They’re not superstars, but you weren’t exactly digging up no-names.

      It is extremely notable to me that the “get rid of Biden” is so HUGELY emphasized over “let’s figure out who instead”

      It makes me look suspiciously at what would initially be the pretty sensible idea of subbing in someone younger

        That continues to be a piss poor rebuttal because the two questions are separate. Many people literally don’t care. And anyone who thinks this is some sort of ratfucking is either detached from reality or doesn’t actually know that many Democrats. The calls to step down (and frankly depression) have been coming from across the party right from the night of the debate. The gaslighting is just the worst possible response to an already bad situation.

        You look suspiciously at anything but blind unthinking worship of Biden.

        If you’re gonna call me a bot, come out and say it instead of hiding behind vague language like a coward.

            Right. You can no longer call people bots, so you found another unfounded accusation to use because you don’t have defensible positions.

              You’re way too intelligent to be a bot, no one ever called you that. That I ever saw, at least.
