Notice how all calls by Dem politicians and celebrities asking Biden to drop out are not accompanied by endorsing Kamala Harris 🗳️

> There is nothing anyone can do about it, but Joe Biden. And if Biden decides not to do anything, it doesn’t matter because we have to vote for him anyway, because it may be our last chance to vote if he doesn’t win.
There is something we can do about it, which is to consistently and directly push him to reconsider. Much like my father-in-law didn’t agree to give up his keys after one conversation, Biden isn’t going to agree to give up is re-election bid after one or two suggestions from one journalist or Hollywood star. He needs to be persuaded, which is what I see many anti-Trumpers trying to do.
> And all we are doing by maniacally focusing on it is eradicating the very slim margin he had and distracting us from the goal of winning.
I completely disagree with you here. As much attention as Biden’s problems have gotten, there is no distraction from the goal of winning. The media, the pundits, and the public have the capability of focusing on the very valid concerns about Biden AND on the need to defeat Trump in November.
> You do not see the other side doing that about their equally cognitively compromised and only three years younger candidate do you? The answer is no because the Republicans understand unlike the Democrats that winning is the only thing that matters right now.
The other side has been doing that for years - it’s called the Never Trump movement, and there are plenty of Republicans who have come out against their party’s candidate. They may not have won the day in their efforts to derail Trump from the nomination, but they remain consistent in their vocal public criticism of Trump.
I would venture a guess that there are approximately zero Democrats out there who don’t understand that winning is the only thing that matters right now. They understand the importance of winning just as much, if not more so, then the Republicans. It’s just that they don’t agree with you on the best way to achieve that necessary win.
