In reply to the discussion: Clooney: Pressuring Biden to drop out was a "mistake" [View all]moniss
(8,514 posts)32. Had Clooney and others been around
in 1936 and found out Roosevelt had paralysis and was in a wheelchair they would have pressured him to drop out. Thankfully they weren't. But in this case we went from an administration and man making the decisions who lead the country back from early years of Covid and gave us the best economy for jobs and wages in more than 60 years to one plunging the country into the status of pariah state and backstabbing our allies as well as pushing the economy into recession with chaotic policies.
Thanks Clooney and yes Joe is old but he was old in 2020 too. Sorry that his age didn't meet up to your expectations and desires. Maybe some day you'll understand. But I doubt it.

I disagree. Biden was beginning to show sign of cognitive impairment. Harris would have been an excellent president.

I never wanted Biden to drop out if you look at my posts. I loved Kamala Harris still do.

I don't think it was a mistake. I think the Democrats had a better chance with Harris. The original sin(s) were Biden

Because much like susan sarandon, he'll have to carry "it" the rest of his life.

Did Salon botch the quote? From their source and others it sounds like he said the "mistake" was choosing Harris.

No shit, George. Now apologize to President Joe Biden. He may forgive you but I won't.

Last week he said he might run for office. He's clearly pimping the attention machine

In May & June, Trump built up a 4% national lead over Biden. By September, Kamala had changed that to a 3% lead for her
