In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden’s campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.
“Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” the Medium letter read.
“It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump,” the campaigners continued. “The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters’ stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire.”
They always do. If they win, it’s a mandate to keep on being a little bit better than the other people. If they lose, its everyone’s fault but theirs.
You know, despite the fact that they control who they run, they control who is allowed to participate on any meaningful level, they’re the ones that continue to collude with fascists to keep everyone else out.
If if were about beating Trump, they’d choose a better candidate. After all, the core votes for blue no matter who. But that isn’t likely, as its easier to just gaslight and harass anyone who questions the wisdom of the party elite.
Can you provide an example of a US election where a POTUS has stood aside from reelection and a better candidate took their place and won?
I’ll go ahead and wait.
