The Democratic National Committee is moving to confirm President Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee with a “virtual roll call” as early as next week, despite serious doubts from many Democratic lawmakers and voters about his viability following a disastrous debate performance in late June. “Joe Biden could be nominated for president next week, even though the convention is almost a month away,” says The Nation’s John Nichols.

*Democrats move to ensure defeat this November
What do u expect, after the left's only plateform is building a house of cards on hate!
Good for the US and the free world.
omg what disaster. What is wrong with the DNC!
They rig every primary. Hello?! 🥴
It is an Orwellian Party.
@@Seekthetruth3000Almost as evil as the other wing. 💔

We are so fucked
You aint lyin'!
check out the current AP poll and be hopeful!
No we are not. This is a pregame mindset that is sure to fail. Stop it. Think. Biden, a conservative Dem. Point is to make a hit the ball and score, not to analyze the player. Support the player because he's up to bat right now. And yeah my nephew could beat both candidates. But that's not reality is it.
I care more about the issues than which “team” wins and frankly, the Dems have become so geriatric and stale and refusing to move on the issues… Did you know that “terrible” Project 2025 document included an article called “the conservative argument FOR fair trade?” It’s a document that is actually an internal discussion by conservatives on where the conservative movement could go, more right or more left on some issues. I disagree deeply with half of it, but essays like the one on fair trade excite me… because democrats stopped talking about fair trade 20 years ago. And that’s an issue I care very much about. The Republicans, for better or worse, are evolving, becoming more populist, and yes they’re having an internal battle on cultural issues with some being pro choice and pro gay marriage, some being against it. JD Vance is in an interfaith marriage with a brown Hindu woman. Kari Lake is in favor of legal gay marriage, and is pro choice for the first trimester of pregnancy and in favor of expanding maternal health care access to prevent unnecessary abortions, a moderate approach most Americans agree with. The Republicans are evolving.
The Democrats are refusing to evolve, and in fact are punishing and forcing to fall in line behind the conservative dems, silencing all progressives like AOC and Bernie, basically forcing them to become more conservative than they used to be. The Republicans are being dragged kicking and screaming to the left… but at least they’re moving. The Democrats refuse to move, at all, like a stick in the mud, and punish their progressive constituents and candidates daily.
I’m not saying I’m voting Republican this year, I still don’t trust their war hungry establishment and evangelical base enough. But I’m observing the change. This was once the party of Lincoln. Who knows if they’ll be worthy of voting for in 10, 20, or 30 years?
If the Democrats don’t want to permanently lose people like me, they need to stop “playing ball” with the establishment, stop treating this like a tribe or team sports…. and change! Evolve! Care about the issues the people care about!
trump will win so you’ll be fine
The Democratic Party is embarrassing.
😂 And what about the Republican Party, they voted against the border bill they authored because the orange traitor said he didn't want to give Biden a win and he needed something to run on! Biden just used executive order to close the border when the refugees coming in exceeds 2,500 people and stays closed until it drops below 1,500 a day!
Always has been.
KKK, Japanese internment camps, Jim Crow, Trail of Tears. Dems have always been like this.
Why, they are doing this bc of Ohio
The Republican Party just nominated a convicted felon 😂😂😂😂😂😂 who’s embarrassing? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
American Democracy? 😂😂😂

@@cherylhorner3097 So is North Korea.
One nation, under God, indivisible...... well idk about that!
Media sucks, why are you not reporting on why the roll call is done early.
The Ohio legislature pushed back the date for the vote so it’s not them. Dems are literally only doing this to pencil Biden in early ahead of his dissenters.
This is not real journalism. If it doesn't fit their agenda, it is not reported.
God is too good sometimes. What a gift. The LEFT would have thrown President Kennedy under the bus. Why? America First, too Patriotic, Regulated Border. Trump 2024.
Oh, is it still the elites who want to remove joe, when they're trying to lock in his nom early? 😅
Dems even want him out...republicans begging him to stay
Lots of Dems don’t! You need to look in to that!
If an opposing team wants you to switch out the guy you have up to bat, what does that tell you?
@@jakevendrotti1496 Did you read? They said Trump wants Biden to stay in the race because he’s certain he’ll beat him. Not only do you lack reading comprehension, you’re delusional. Get out of the bubble you live in once in a while.

@@michael-hw1uv Paid or BOT? 😒
Stick with Biden. It's too late to change now. And incumbents usually win. And the debate panic is overblown.
@@miahsaint-georges nah, that’s what big donors want people to believe. Big donors did the same thing to Barack Obama when he was running against Hillary in the primary whom big donors wanted desperately. They privately wanted Obama to step aside.. he wouldn’t, but he did cave a little to give her a cabinet position to take out Khadafi. The rest is history.
trying to short-circuit the democratic process, just like they did the primary, because you believe its in your favor to do so is a pretty bad way to make the case that you are the defenders of democracy.
"This is like watching the cracked varnish of cosmetic democracy come peeling off, flake by flake."
Nice. Source?
Endorsing biden is essentially endorsing trump at this point
It's still the democratic process. Voters made their voices heard concerning the democrat nominee. You're scared. If that's enough for you to throw out the democratic process... what are you?
@skydriver5709 lol what democratic process? We weren't even given the chance for a primary and any mention of bidens cognitive abilities and unlikely chances of beating Trump were swept under the rug before the debate. Now it's blatantly obvious Trump will win unless biden steps down and we have a new candidate. Unlike you I actually want Trump the fascist to lose which is why I beg for a chance to replace him. If not I hope biden apologists will own the upcoming loss and not blame anyone but yourselves for burying your heads in the sand.
@@skydriver5709 no it isn't. no they didn't. no we aren't. no it's not. We are human beings. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Biden delegates don't have to be released! PLEASE investigate the DNC language. It says "the delegates vote for whomever they feel is strongest at THAT time"(!). The delegates are under NO obligation to vote for Joe, even on the first ballot. PLEASE GET THIS INFO OUT THERE. Biden does NOT have to step aside.
I believe this is partly why the Biden ppl are pushing for the early vote.

But democracy is at stake!!

I wish Dems would get Joe's back instead of stabbing him in the back......vote BIDEN/HARRIS 2024.....VOTE BLUE .....VOTE BLUE.....VOTE BLUE...........
Feels like dooming democracy.

No capitalist country is a democracy.
We need a better candidate. no way joe will win again
And who is a better candidate that could run?
Anybody literally anybody or we will lose @@Blackronin357
@Blackronin357 you can convince yourself that biden is a good candidate but reality is he won't get the votes.
No one else can get the votes this close to the election in November! Vote blue 💙 no matter who wins the Democratic Nomination!

@@paulvamos7319 Then you're in a cult and lack critical thinking.
They'll stay home, but their "mail-in" ballots won't.
Corporations, the military industrial complex, Jill/Hunter, and Joe’s underlying toxic ego is keeping him running as the nominee. He knows he’s cooked, but he’s willing to let Trump steam roll him instead of stepping aside for a younger and more relatable nominee to win. This is no longer the democrat party I used to identify with.
Perfectly good VP with 4 years of experience wait I g to step in.
I agree completely! Biden's SENILE VANITY makes him think that ONLY HE can beat Trump, and he is willing to risk Trump winning so he "can finish the work he started." That risk is TOO HIGH!............................elsullo
Joe Biden is 40 points in the lead according to paid poles!
You could have primaried him. His condition was only a surprise if you weren't paying attention.
@@papawheelie5576 the DNC appeared to be pretty damn adamant on shutting out any competition and putting their all behind the incumbent nominee. What a blunder!
Biden doesn't have to go. He's already gone.
In the UK there'd be a vote of no confidence, and that'd be that, but in the US it seems voting out a president on grounds of illness is out of party hands.
I suppose that's the problem with presidential systems, given a separate presidential election means this is not just a question of party politics, the American people have voted for Biden and it's gonna be the American people that will have the final say on his fitness to hold office.
More democratic in its way than parties dumping prime ministers when they start becoming unpopular, but at the same time the enormous executive and symbolic power of the presidential office allows for leaders to cling to power well past their sell-by-dates often to the chagrin of their own parties and the people who elected them in the first place.
Somewhat ironically, the US finds itself in a fix usually reserved for absolute monarchies - as in what to do with mad old kings who still think they're fit enough to rule.
The dilemma familiar from King Lear and A Winters Tale.
He should not quit. I was Trump's supporter in 2016 and 2020. But MAGA is too extreme and too crazy. I have changed my mind to vote for Biden. 💙 2024.
All 535 members of Congress, 9 Supreme Judges, President, Vice President, Governors, Mayors etc. were and are responsible for the border and migrant crisis in the past months! Each of you get paid over $174,000 to help our nation! Each of you should have help improve or resolved the borders and migrant crisis promptly especially during the most critical events!
We know and understand that USA and other countries were affected by WWII, Vietnam war, Sept 11 terrorist attacked, millions of Covid19 deaths, Russia/Ukraine war, Israel/Hamas/Palestinian war, global warming/mega Floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. which destroyed our communities and thousands of people around the world…resulted in homelessness, unemployment, crimes, atrocities, poverty! So, don’t blame President Biden or our leaders!
If you did not help when you should have, then that’s your problem!
(Matthew 7:3-5) "Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye."
Barry wants Brandon OUT to make room for Michael. WAKE up AMERICA 🇺🇸

God is too good sometimes. What a gift. The LEFT would have thrown President Kennedy under the bus. Why? America First, too Patriotic, Regulated Border. Trump 2024.
They're expecting to install him, regardless of the actual vote count.
The DNC choosing their nominee in defiance of the voting public is exactly what happened in 2020 and 2016 as well....
From Axios:
"The DNC, apparently giving in to pressure from lawmakers, announced Wednesday it would not hold the virtual roll call vote before August."
Bot Convention convening here. Please don't feed them.
Even if official nominee, Biden could step down as candidate in favor of VP Harris. Jim Clyburn and the Dem elite would be fine with that.
She could at least put up a fight.
So obviously…..the “preliminary “ vote will show Biden he’s gotta go
After this election my very large family of which I am head will become independent if there is another one. Power and money is destrpying politics. Foolish. Thanks. Tbc
We all need to start asking ourselves why the DNC is so committed making Trump our next president.
😂I can't help it!
A big mess😂
Thank you Schiff
I couldn't imagine being a democrat and seeing this stuff lol
Thank you
So hows wicked citizens on the left been up to lately?
Asking for my lefty friend who's now voting Trump.

Surely he is about to stand aside. He has just announced that he has Covid and said he would stand aside for health reasons.
I think in the 1920s they had conventions where no candidate had a majority so they had to figure out how to give up delegates.
Biden has returned to Delaware. Resignation announcement coming 9:00am CST on Thursday, July 18.
The DNC should not be appointing anyone! We have a process. Let the people decide!
Unbelievable that they would do this…it would all but ensure big losses in November
It is not unbelievable to certain, atheist/non political, adults (besides myself).
Vote Blue unless you want to have to live under 2025 book
Agenda 47 is his real plan, not 2025. Project 2025 is suggestions for the Republican candidate and is up to that Candidate to implement or not. Relax, you’ll be fine.

Spoiler Alert! It won't be Bernie. Womp, womp.
IS THAT LEGAL OR CONSTITUTIONAL TO APPOINT JOE EARLY
Being a technical nerd here: Political Parties, by definition, cannot be part of the government. They are quasi-privately run. So, "constitutional" does not apply. Now does this violate some contract somewhere, that might be argued. But, technically, a political party could choose their candidate using a random dice roll. This almost happens at the local level sometimes. It is only the actual election that must be democratic in nature. (Having said all this, "pre-choosing" early is _not_ a good look and might piss off the general membership.)
The dems are great at breaking rules and playing dirty when they want to lose. But to win? No we must follow rules.
HOW DARE ADAM SCHIFF Say & Do THAT! I’m EXTREMELY SORRY that I’ve CONTRIBUTED To SCHIFF SO Many Times!
Schiff did the same backhanded shit to Katie Porter. He’s another big donor candidate who’s getting pressure from his benefactors.
The people want to know where's the people's checkbooks and who are signers?
This is great 😂😂
Gee, I guess the Dems messed up. So now they want to change the rules because they are losing the game? Do they do that anywhere in sports? The Dem clownishness continues unabated.
I belive in Kamilla Hartis she is not cusllafied she is not sincere enough nor the brain
…what?

I fully support this 😂
Fried, baked, or mashed? 🤷🏾♀️😂
What growing discontent? Zero voters have protested any of his public appearances 😡
That's not true. Thousands of protestors outside the WH almost daily, more at his billionaire donor dinners. If you missed hundreds of hours of news coverage of protestors calling him Genocide Joe, pretty much says you're purposefully blind.

As an onlooker it is bizarrely suicidal to stick with Biden !! ?? !!
They had plenty of time before now to change it up. He has been senile for four years. But they used him to sign bills they wanted passed. That is how corrupt they are.
