I don’t begrudge her for wanting to make a buck, although the farther away we get from the election, fewer people are going to buy it. I think peak season was when Tapper’s book came out. Now no one cares. She’s just beating a dead horse. Less than one year
into the madman’s reign, it has already felt like an eternity.

And no, democrats didn’t stab Biden in the back. Congressional reps and senators were simply listening to their constituents who had made it clear they didn’t want another term. Polls were also showing Biden would lose and would possibly drag democrats down ballot.

Maybe she should have taken those concerns directly to Biden.

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
