And his purported successor would be? Is there a solid name?

Her name is Kamala Harris.

Just to clarify my previos response. His successor is VP Harris, and an awesome one. I was referring to his replacement on the ticket, since the punditry doesn’t want KH either. Ugh.

I agree with you Laura, I just don’t get any of this resign because you’re old nonsense. Kamala is an excellent VP and should something happen to Biden we’re covered. What’s the problem here!? I’m so dismayed. Why on earth are we creating problems when the situation is so very dire. We are losing momentum! We can’t afford to do that. I’m starting to worry.

We cannot control what the punditry does, but we control what we do. I’m writing postcards to voters. It’s very Zen and helps me keep what’s left of my sanity. Regardless of what happens, I’m cautiously optimistic that we’re going to win. We can’t let the doomsayers deflate us. That’s called psyops. And if we didn’t have a winning hand, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to convince up to give up. We’re not giving up.

We can have an influence on the otherwise-unemployables of the punditocracy - cancel them. Cancel subscriptions, turn them off.

I love this and should be the top comment. Yes! I’m with you! I honestly feel that you and I are in the majority here. I just cannot understand why forces are working against us. We will keep up the hard work! We will not be discouraged.

We will not be discouraged!! No matter how hard they try.

Understood. I just think we lose our Dem base- black voters, particularly black women, if we skip over Biden’s first black woman and most obvious successor. I am less worried what the punditry thinks (except that I think Biden cannot adequately counter their ridiculousness any longer). They will always criticize Dems and normalize R’s. It’s what their overlords demand.

My point exactly. They’re screwing the pooch for no good reason. And if not Kamala, who? There wasn’t any need for this crap.

Nice. She’s the VP already and the main reason Biden is being attacked. Or one of the reasons. And a faction is attacking her already. And would she accept this?

Realize that there will be attacks against whoever is the Dem candidate. That is baked in. VP Harris isn’t the reason Biden is struggling. Further, Harris is the only Dem who could mount a campaign at this late date and actually legally use the money raised for the Biden/Harris campaign. And she has been increasingly polling very well.

I know, right? This is getting weirder by the minute.
