Every progressive but Biden knows...Joe must go

If Joe Biden stays in the race, he could win on Nov. 5 and increase progressive representation in Congress.

But few if any Democratic congresspersons, party leaders, workers and voters believe that will happen. Sure, many go on mainstream news to back Joe unequivocally and claim he can win. But internally, they see the current momentum signaling a Trump victory and choose to remain in denial.

The Democratic Party is spiraling out of control over the debate whether to force Biden out for a younger, more mentally healthy candidate, or hang with him and hope for a miracle Nov. 5.

Biden made a catastrophic mistake, arguably the worst reelection gambit in presidential history, by refusing to comply with his promise to be a transitional president 4 years ago.

Biden was asked in his press conference why he didn’t follow thru and groom his successor, whether VP Harris or another. His answer was disheartening. “I want to finish the job.” Biden appears clueless the opposite is true…if reelected, the job will likely finish off Biden.

That will be a personal tragedy for Joe Biden and his family. The fact they are urging him to stay in and campaign even harder is despicable. It borders on elder abuse. But the greater tragedy is that Biden’s intransigence may well return Trump to power, regain GOP control of Congress and destroy the progressive agenda for a generation.

That is why every Democratic congressperson, party leader, worker and voter must add their voice to encourage Joe Biden to withdraw from the race. He needs to spend his remaining days with his grandkids before he forgets who they are.

We need to spend our remaining days keeping the progressive agenda alive instead of lamenting its demise.
