24. It wasn't just democratic establishmentarian's

Let’s be honest everything was moving along great for Biden until that one debate where he look like he couldn’t say hardly anything. then the whole Democratic Party essentially panicked because they know what’s at stake they knew we would get to where we are now and so we all panicked. some of us including myself wanted Gavin Newsom there other people wanted other candidates right but it was really Biden‘s own fault for the panic and how he performed. The Democratic party ( us ) really wanted to not lose to the orange fat man and we moved on from Biden. I have no ill feelings for Biden. In fact, I think he was one of the better legislative presidents in the modern era. I also think that Kamala Harris is not gonna get it done. She had it an attempt and I don’t think she’s gonna get it done.

I think what Pierre did in switching parties was far worse

Is that an example of Democrats eating our own? gab13by13 Oct 28 #6
But she did not have the need to write that book that only creates negative sentiment against the Democratic party. Escurumbele Oct 28 #14
No she did not. This continued claiming she did is a direct attack on the Biden administration, the Dem Party, & Harris. Celerity Oct 28 #21

Yup, I'm with her, and the camera angle used on Joe during the debate was deliberate. Joinfortmill Oct 28 #8
