Sigh. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a good guy for real, someone I did some work for a few years back, wants Biden to drop out. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4754535-raul-grijalva-joe-biden-drop-out-democrats/

@GottaLaff Why are these assholes talking to the media instead of calling Biden?

They're fragmenting the party and destroying independents' faith the Democrats know what they're doing.

And where the hell is DNC's Jaime Harrison? A single tweet isn't going to cut it against a firehose.

@raynetoday And Raul of all people.

@GottaLaff He's in a D+15 district so he can't say he's throwing Biden under the bus because his race is marginal -- unless he's polling badly?

Grijalva was diagnosed with cancer and said in April he was going to continue working. With that going on, why would he draw attention to himself this way?

Ugh. waves at the flames This is fine.

@raynetoday Exactly. I don't get it! I really don't.

@GottaLaff Is it because of the notoriety of saying it?

@GottaLaff Is he saying it to get on the news for saying it.

@twitloyalist Oh, got it. No, he’s not a show horse.

@GottaLaff It is hard for me to think that Biden should step down at this point even if he is incapable. I will learn something if he does.

Smuggling complete. Squeeze is on. For the last 2 days the media gave incredible air time to the only congressman who was saying this. The number will go up as the media rewards this.
It works every time. Can't call it naivete anymore. These people openly discussed their game plan and still that didn't become the main story. The media is complicit.
We should be only hearing about Scotus power grab, Heritage foundations threat of violence if we resist their revolution and Trump's threat to televised tribunals to traitors like Liz Cheney. But here we are.

@GottaLaff This just reiterates that just because a person in a member of Congress, they don't know how elections work in the USA.

@Thumper1964@mindly.social avatar

@GottaLaff Very sadly, I’m beginning to wonder if the Dems are divided beyond all hope where it doesn’t matter whether or not he drops out. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?

As much as I would like to see a Harris/Castro ticket if there was a good reason for Biden to step down, there isn't. And he's fine for the next four years.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@darthstar He's fine now too. This is making me nuts.

@mrpinkly Sigh.

PlasmaBeast ,

@GottaLaff As long as someone worse like Bloomberg doesn't take his place, I would be open to the idea.

We don't need billionaire assholes running for public office. Some heckler called him that xD.

Or Joe Manchin even more so. That dude legit needs to quit the democrat party and go republican so he can see what an asshole he is. I detest sinema also.

all three of those people are worse as is Hillary. She just comes across as dishonest and even more so still, she comes across arrogant to me.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@PlasmaBeast OFFS, Hillary is nowhere close to being Manchin or Sinema.

And why in the world are you even bringing her up?

frostchild ,
@frostchild@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff @PlasmaBeast I apologize, if I offended you, I merely was speaking of her getting in the way of Bernie Sanders. I wasn't trying to be crass. unless you blocked me on accident. In any case, I hope you can forgive me.

Plasmabeast as you may remember is me. If you block this account too, oh well I guess. I just wanted to know your reasoning, etc...

frostchild ,
@frostchild@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Nvm... I give up. I am not patient enough with the "you know what you did" stereotypical cop thinking. I am just going to quit. Sorry I wasted both our time.

I'm about to write some mean shit to Raul Grijalva. He works for me.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@billyjoebowers Be civil. They won't even read hostility, it's not productive. Raul is a good guy. I disagree with him.

@GottaLaff

No. The time for civility has passed.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@billyjoebowers So you'd rather they ignore your email or whatever you're writing?

That's up to you. I can only tell you what I know about these offices.

Maybe we should find out who is bribing these guys...
And publish their phone # so we can call them and tell them to stick it.

@palin Of all people! Raul!! He's one of the good ones! Sigh.

@GottaLaff at the risk of being blocked - a good guy for real would say this privately

@GottaLaff ugh. He's my rep. I guess I better write a letter explaining to him that would hand the presidency to Trump.

is Harris not?

zakalwe ,
@zakalwe@plasmatrap.com avatar

@Bluegrass_Nomad @GottaLaff She's actually not polling as well as Biden, for whatever that's worth. I'd like to see her get a shot honestly, but I don't think this cycle is it.

Either way, she also doesn't have time to build a Presidential campaign and war-chest from scratch. Let alone the pool of locked delegates.
