    The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with a plan to virtually nominate Joe Biden ahead of the Democratic convention in Chicago despite growing calls for him to step aside and as a new Associated Press poll shows nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to withdraw from the race following his disastrous debate with Donald Trump. Top Democrats including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are reportedly privately lobbying for Biden to step aside. With Biden as the presidential candidate, "Democrats have a vanishingly thin chance of recapturing the House," says Chris Lehmann, who rejoins us to discuss the "unprecedented" and contentious fight over Biden's reelectability occurring within the Democratic Party ahead of its convention next month.

    At this time we need to have faith not just in ourselves but each other. Our hope and belief in each other is what has united us as a Nation. And our division will end the Democracy we seek to preserve. The current division serves as a distraction causing uncertainty at a time when we should be sharing common horizons, we survive together. Faith, heart and soul is what will restore Hope. We all carry the weight of brokenhearts that tell us so much has gone wrong. We've lost so much but we can at least return a little hope to each other and the world. That's the uniting goal, faith in each other for hope of a better future. Hope is the Fire that does not consume but illuminates, it will lead and unite us. If we listen to our hearts, it gives us an inner voice that will guide us to a better path. Our soul gives us the opportunity to truly embrace each other. Faith is the fight, we are the hope.

      I guess you were incapacitated in 2016 and 2020? Bernie won the nomination elections in both of those primary elections, but they nominated Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden regardless. Bernie sued the DNC, the court case came before a judge, the judge dismissed the case. The judge stated there is not court case because nothing illegal was done. The DNC can nominate anyone they want regardless of primary election results. In case you been out of the loop for a couple decades, the GOP, Democratic, No Labels, and Libertarian parties are all owned and operated by the plutocratic donors. We have not had a representative form of democracy since 1996. That is the year the balance of power tipped towards the plutocratic donors as they took complete and total control of our whole society. Since 1996, we have a donor owned plutocracy. Donors made their bribes with donation/contributions to campaign and PACs illegally until 2010 and 2012 when the SCOTUS made those contributions legal, secret, and unlimited. Our government is run on a system of legalized bribery. Every member of Congress is beholding to the big money donors who 'own' that party they run on. That means our entire Congress is owned and operated by the big donors. Even Bernie Sanders is part of this donor owned charade. Bernie Sanders will never get a nomination from the DNC. Bernie Sanders makes the big donors nervous with all of his faux progressive siren song singing. You can talk all of the progressive talk you want, but complicit acquiescence to the party donor owners is expected. Noncompliance to the donors' wishes could mean you will be primaried out of office. Since the DNC and RNC holds the ultimate nomination authority, they hold the keys to power on who is in Congress. So, people like AOC, Porter, Whitehouse, and other faux progressive people in Congress are tolerated for their false charade playing value. You have Rep. Porter displayed often in the media feigning her false progressive siren song charades, these charades give an air of authenticity to all of Congress, when in reality, nothing is done in Congress that is not approved by the donors. That means the Justice Democrats, AOC, and her so called progressive caucus are all charade players faking their progressivism in the putrid fetid bowels of the wholly donor owned Congress. The Justice Democrats are just democrats. They receive the donor money exactly like any other member of Congress, regardless of party affiliation.

      @ssb1056 that's still not a reason to vote blue. if you want someone to vote for you, you have to have a good candidate.

      I actually don’t care if Jill won’t win. I will vote for her anyway so that I am on record that I don’t consent to the way the nation is governed.
      And it is Ironic that Jill Stein is the only Jewish person running for president and has clearly protested the Israeli government.

    Put grandpa back in the basement. Keep grandpa incommunicado. That strategy won Grandpa the White House before. That strategy may succeed again.

      To the grave? Sounds like a person who has lost all hope would desperately say.

      Sorry you lost hope in all other freedom. Society needs a change. And no one can but bring that change forward other than a strong political leader. I don't mean cowardice, manipulation & lies. But probably somebody both mentally and physically even spiritual strong to combat and challenge the powers that be.
