Biden’s poor polling prompts progressive plotting

President Joe Biden was never the Left’s top choice to lead the Democratic Party in 2020, and now that he is suffering from a prolonged bout of political weakness, they are weighing a challenge to him in 2024.
“It’s definitely something that’s brewing under the surface,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign chairwoman Nina Turner recently told Hanna Trudo. “It’s called the anxiety of the American people, which is causing this scramble in political bubbles about what the possibilities can be.”
Trudo, who covers the Left full time, added, “A sizable faction of progressives believe Biden should be doing more to deliver economic and social relief for working and middle-class people and that those same demographic groups could be searching for an alternative well ahead of November 2024.”
With approval numbers worse than Biden’s, the Left is not looking at Vice President Kamala Harris as their replacement candidate. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s corporate consultant background also makes his candidacy a nonstarter.


Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sanders are both possibilities, but Sanders strategist Chuck Roa tells Trudo they may not be the right demographic for the modern Democratic Party.
“Old-school progressives, old white liberals, are a part of the coalition,” Rocha told Trudo. “But the majority of the coalition looks like 'the Squad.' It’s people of color. It’s younger people. It’s really around environmental justice, social justice, and, most importantly, economic populism.”
The only name Trudo identifies with both the policy credentials and the star power needed to raise hundreds of millions online from small-dollar donors is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
A Democratic primary challenge to a sitting Democratic president is not without precedent. As recently as 1980, Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy attempted to wrest the party’s nomination from a similarly unpopular Democratic incumbent unable to control inflation.
With a new Harvard poll of young voters showing even a majority of this overwhelmingly Democratic group disapprove of Biden’s job as president, it might just be time for Democrats to start looking for a 2024 alternative.

Obama doesn't have a legacy other than Isis and giving millions of dollars to Iran.

Also there is no "normal" part of the democrat party. They are all insane freaks apart from Joe Manchin who is obviously a Trump plant.

The dems are screwed and have bit off more than they can chew. Biden literally has dementia. Harris is about as popular as Jimmy Saville. A red wave is coming and no amount of censorship and lies can save them.

They've got two choices. Either put out a radical like AOC as candidate and lose the white vote and trash the economy even more . Or put out someone like buttiigege and lose the minority vote, and hopefully radicalise the GOP further...

As a Trump fanatic I can only watch on in glee. My only hope is that the MAGA movement purges the GOP of all the RINOs, grifters and fakers and puts in place ultraconservative American First candidates. Praise God We appear to be making good progress on that count. At this rate, by 2024 Trump will be considered a "moderate" republican!

You may have won the battle liberals, but we've won the war.

That was Bush...

Maybe but that does strike both ways, with the Republicans havibng banished any sane individual into political purgatory for the vermin like Green et al.

Totally took that to mean communists for a second, or europeans as the Americans like to call them. He might be a doddery ol;d fool but at least hes an inoffensive one compared to his compatriots though, a compromise candidate if ever there was one.

Lol thats a way to undo all their progress in Texas in a flash

What is a RINO sorry, cant say ive come across that acronym yet?

Pretty sure Bush didn't sign the Iran Deal. Agree that Bush and Obama are both to blame for Isis.

MTG is alright. A bit too left wing for me. She should never have apologised for comparing mandatory vaccinations to the Holocaust.

The guys inoffensive sure to a degree but it doesnt matter because he's a puppet.

Not sure what you're on about RE Texas?

Republican In Name Only (RINO) - originally exclusively for moderates like McCain and Romney -:now is used widely for any Anti Trumpers like Liz Cheney, Mitch McConnell, the Bush family and other neoCon detritus...

No he did not, he just allowed the formation of ISIS and destroyed the sole bulwarck against Iran...

as to 'giving Iran money' i would point out not a single US cent was given to Iran. Iranian money that had been, by its very definition, stolen, was returned.

Left wing compared to Mussolini perhaps. Although she does bear a striking resemblance to a certain head of the Khmer Rouge, in more ways than one.

Erm, why is that exactly? I mean unless you approve of gassing Jews such a statement is inately heinous.

Don't approve of gassing Jews

Well that's something... I guess.

You "guess" it's not ok to gas Jews? I mean, I know you support Corbyn dude but sheesh

Well I was remarking on how it was refreshing to see you take a progressive stance.

I am actually Jewish by the way.

I'm generally pretty pro rapprochement with Iran actually TBF. Hmm I heard some of that money was us taxpayers, but you could be right

Don't approve of gassing Jews, vaccine mandates or apologising to bad faith lefties and triggered minorities

Well I was remarking on how it was refreshing to see you take a progressive stance. I am actually Jewish by the way.

Lmao you don't have to be progressive to not support killing all jewish people.... And I disagree that Progressives are inherently against genocide. If you replace the word Jew" with "White" and "Aryan" with "POC/ LGBTQ" you can easily turn Nazi literature into your standard BLM propoganda.

Good for you

Good for you

Interested in how you merely said you don't 'agree' with gassing Jews, like you were talking about a run of the mill policy rather than genocide.

I was being flippant about it, in reaction to Napp's (in my view absurd) comparison of MTG to Nazis.

I think human perpetuated violent genocide of other humans because of their race is evil and wrong and always have done so.

But you're derailing this interesting thread - if you want to question me more about the Holocaust or whatever then start a new thread or DM me
