George Clooney calls for Biden to drop out, weeks after helping him raise $14 million. Also recently called WH to complain about Biden's ICC remarks

[The God Poster]

Some of you are daft.

George Clooney is a Democrat and is a huge Democratic donor (including donating to Biden). He's not saying that he supports Trump or whatever.

He's saying that Biden has declined mentally, isn't the best person to beat Trump, and that he should be replaced as the Dem nominee.

Shut up

This rich white man need to do like black folk & take whatever Dems give

Who he think he is bringing up valid points.

Cloony made casamigos




He should automatically be president of Mexico and the US

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

The fact they didn't get their ducks in a row last year at the latest is just a sign of how stupid they thing everyone is.

All they had to do was have an actual primary. Biden would've been exposed long ago with plenty of tine to pick a suitable candidate.

Dems have a decent bench man, idk why they dint call in a pinch hitter

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

There is smoke against Trump. He is known and frequently called a dotard.

The simple fact is that if you support the Democratic party, you want it to win and lead effectively. That means challenging a candidate who has one foot in the grave.

The shame really is on Biden for not telling people to get behind his successor. He's not doing what is best for the party and country.

No, there isn't. Trump isn't receiving anywhere near the same scrutiny, and he never has. The media loves him; he's good for clicks and ratings. The legacy media acts almost like an arm of his campaign with how they treat him, just because they don't want to appear political with their reporting and because they love the attention he brings. However, they have no problem acting politically in other contexts. The corporatization of the media isn't helping either, with most of the heads of those companies being Trump campaign donors. That 'dotard' or 'covfefe' stuff isn't smoke; it's too playful in nature. He shouldn't even be treated as a legitimate option given Jan. 6 and his efforts to steal an election. There should be non-stop coverage of how much of a threat he represents, and yet there isn't.

 

[UpAndComing]

This is what happens when you're campaign is centered around "Anything to get Trump out" vs "Get the best Democratic candidate"

This is the end result. The chickens are coming home to roost

Nothing to see here folks, everything is totally fine

I’m a lifelong Democrat; I make no apologies for that. I’m proud of what my party represents and what it stands for. As part of my participation in the democratic process and in support of my chosen candidate, I have led some of the biggest fund-raisers in my party’s history. Barack Obama in 2012. Hillary Clinton in 2016. Joe Biden in 2020. Last month I co-hosted the single largest fund-raiser supporting any Democratic candidate ever, for President Biden’s re-election. I say all of this only to express how much I believe in this process and how profound I think this moment is.

I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.
But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.

Was he tired? Yes. A cold? Maybe. But our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw. We’re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign. The George Stephanopoulos interview only reinforced what we saw the week before. As Democrats, we collectively hold our breath or turn down the volume whenever we see the president, who we respect, walk off Air Force One or walk back to a mic to answer an unscripted question.

Is it fair to point these things out? It has to be. This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.

We love to talk about how the Republican Party has ceded all power, and all of the traits that made it so formidable with Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, to a single person who seeks to hold on to the presidency, and yet most of our members of Congress are opting to wait and see if the dam breaks. But the dam has broken. We can put our heads in the sand and pray for a miracle in November, or we can speak the truth.

It is disingenuous, at best, to argue that Democrats have already spoken with their vote and therefore the nomination is settled and done, when we just received new and upsetting information. We all think Republicans should abandon their nominee now that he’s been convicted of 34 felonies. That’s new and upsetting information as well. Top Democrats — Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi — and senators, representatives and other candidates who face losing in November need to ask this president to voluntarily step aside.

All of the scary stories that we’re being told about what would happen next are simply not true. In all likelihood, the money in the Biden-Harris coffers could go to help elect the presidential ticket and other Democrats. The new nominee wouldn’t be left off ballots in Ohio. We Democrats have a very exciting bench. We don’t anoint leaders or fall sway to a cult of personality; we vote for a president. We can easily foresee a group of several strong Democrats stepping forward to stand and tell us why they’re best qualified to lead this country and take on some of the deeply concerning trends we’re seeing from the revenge tour that Donald Trump calls a presidential campaign.

Let’s hear from Wes Moore and Kamala Harris and Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear and J.B. Pritzker and others. Let’s agree that the candidates not attack one another but, in the short time we have, focus on what will make this country soar. Then we could go into the Democratic convention next month and figure it out.

Would it be messy? Yes. Democracy is messy. But would it enliven our party and wake up voters who, long before the June debate, had already checked out? It sure would. The short ramp to Election Day would be a benefit for us, not a danger. It would give us the chance to showcase the future without so much opposition research and negative campaigning that comes with these ridiculously long and expensive election seasons. This can be an exciting time for democracy, as we’ve just seen with the 200 or so French candidates who stepped aside and put their personal ambitions on hold to save their democracy from the far right.

Joe Biden is a hero; he saved democracy in 2020. We need him to do it again in 2024.

Great article .

Unless you’re just an absolute Biden dikksucker I don’t know how you can have a problem with this

Loved how he pokes holes in that goofy shyt the DNC and coli shills been trying to parrot

Realistically the Moment Biden won they should have acknowledged this was an emergency situation to un do the damage of Trump while in Parallel presenting us the future of the party and then this year Biden simply championing who ever is selected.

yeah, it's why lotta cats who are single and "self sufficient" are like if you fukk up a lay up you deserve to lose lol.

When you don't have kids or give a shyt about the social culture wars you really just sit back and watch it burn. How can you lack respect for a base so much you pull a stunt like this, and what happens when folks say they don't even care about the alternative?

 

[Killah Ray]

Democrats running a full press to lose this election is fukking weird…

There is no way in hell you can magically replace a presidential candidate in fukking July…

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

“i told everyone to hold off on what you’re thinking or tell someone privately until after NATO”


Pelosi basically like .. hey, if he runs I support him if he doesn’t I support him

If folks didn't learn from the past then this is just the end of an empire running its course. Cats should be bracing for impact rather than crying about some shyt that may just be meant to end.

Because Kamala becoming President is no longer a “possible outcome” but is now very likely to happen. They were cool with it like you’re cool with your cousin moving in. It’s different when it happens
