Fairly stark comparison to the DNC:

Yeah, sorry if things are confusing for you, but that’s more of a you thing. Biden was convinced that continuing to run would be devastating for the party, so he stepped down. Had he not been convinced, he’d still be running because there is nothing anyone can do to forcibly remove him against his will.

I’m guessing the MSM is using (((Soros))) bucks to confuse the right and make them believe stupid things.

That’s silly. Imagine thinking that after years of the GOP failing to prove that Biden was crooked, it only took a couple of weeks for the Dems to do it. In the real world, all it really took is convincing someone that their legacy would be better if they stepped down now instead of driving their entire party off a cliff. This isn’t hard, people! You don’t need a conspiracy! We all saw the debate, we saw the polls, we saw the people calling for him to step down. Why does the right always need some complicated conspiracy when the simplest explanation makes fits the facts better? The only reason it seemed sudden to anyone who wasn’t paying attention was because he had to be full steam ahead until he was sure he was stepping down. Showing any hesitation was not an option because it would be a death knell if he ended up deciding to go forward with the campaign. But those of us who were hoping he would step down were expecting the decision to appear sudden.

But, but, but, a bunch of people who post pro-Trump stuff all of the time have assured us that the Dems are all mad about Biden dropping out. I’m sure that if you check the polls, they’ll show that the Dem chances have absolutely plummeted since Biden dropped out because Dem voters are spitting mad…

The fun thing about the GOP is that they’ve become so terminally online that they spout utter nonsense like this and think it’s rational. Their brains are completely rotted. It’s why they are so weird. It’s also why they should keep shouting this stuff from the rooftop and why Trump should spend as much time as possible on tv. That would be better for the Dems than anything any Dem could do. Biden ran to stop Trump. He ran for reelection to stop Trump. It became clear that he was not likely to succeed and would likely torch his own party in the endeavor. After taking time to cope with this, he did the right thing. But keep smoking what you’re smoking and make sure you tell absolutely everybody you know what your thoughts are. Kamala Harris will thank you for it.

They showed him that the numbers were so bad that not only was he almost certainly going to lose, but he was going to bring the entire party down with him.

There was absolutely nothing anybody could do to stop Biden from running again if he decided to. He could have ignored them all and stayed on the ballot and there was nothing they could do to stop him. But this fact is very inconvenient to people who are upset that they may now actually lose, so they will scrape for any pretense for being upset on behalf of people who are overwhelmingly happy with the outcome. Hacks and fools, all of them.

Just saw Comptroller Susana Mendoza on the crowd cam in an “I love Chicago” shirt. Probably my #2 favorite IL pol behind JB. She’s good stuff.

Seems… unimpressive

That’s my governor!

It’s excellent. Especially now that the Bills get a lot of prime time games, I’m not staying up until close to midnight to watch them. Noon / 3pm / 7:15pm >>> 1pm / 4pm / 8:15pm Even when there’s the random early London games, they start around 8am so it’s not like you’d have to get up for 6am like on the West Coast.

It’s 10pm local, so while it’s later than I like to be watching tv, it’s not super late. Hard not to give the sitting president the last speaking slot of the day. Would be weird to have someone speaking after them. Also, Central Time Zone > all other time zones. Night football games kicking off before 7:30pm? First Sunday games kicking off at noon? Yes please!

Quick question: what time slot did GOP presidents who weren’t Trump get at the RNC?

Joe Biden’s not dead. He’s just prepping Michelle Obama to steal the nomination.

Biden’s not dead, he’s just getting ready to storm the convention stage and reclaim the nomination

Small group, quickly broken up by cops

Well, this is awkward. I was assured that 100k antifa protestors were coming to town to collect their Soros Bucks…

Let me see if I get the gist of most of the posts in this thread: Kamala Harris and the Dems are far left Communist Hamas supporters and that’s why the far left, communists, and Hamas supporters are protesting the DNC. Did I get that right?

I’m out by O’Hare today and definitely saw Biden coming in on Marine One, which was pretty cool.

They represent maybe one congressional district worth of people and somehow people think that’s a big deal?

Do the Democrats support the people protesting the Democrats? A question that answers itself
