Biden says he 'screwed up' debate but vows to stay in race

Speculation is swirling around whether the president will continue his re-election bid after last week's disastrous debate.

“I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party. No one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving," he said in a call to the broader campaign

    Even changing the nominee is risky at this point.

    So is not replacing him, and the hand wringing around it being a problem is a significant contributor to this mess lasting as long as it has.

    The right answer is to go to an open convention and duke it out the way its always been done in the past. At least bring back some semblance of democracy to the Democratic party; you’ll get a SHIT ton of coverage on the matter; it will turn into a real horse race and get people engaged, and then you’ll have a candidate is at least competitive, which Biden isnt.

    You shouldnt be scared of replacing Biden. Thats like being scared of pulling over in a car with a flat tire.

        I’m not fretting about it, I think it’s fucking stupid to leave the choice with the same idiots who fucked it up to begin with

        Sure. And I agree. But I’m over it. Any one polling over 45%. I dont care any more. I just want someone who can beat Trump. Its obvious to everyone with eyes that isn’t Biden.

            Well, you and I are.

            There are plenty of people here, I suggest a majority, who have deluded themselves into thinking Biden is the only possible path to beating Trump, rather than a guaranteed L.

            This cohort is the same cohort that has effectively put us in such a dramatically weak position to beat Trump. They are the real problem and if allowed to go unchecked, will lose this election for us.
