Should Joe Biden step down? (Poll) [View all]

We, the voters of the Democratic Party, are being gaslighted.

The debate was an excuse, as another poster put it so well.

The media is amplifying the division and uncertainty like a wall of sound at a Stones concert.

I am stunned by some of the names I hear calling for this and predicting defeat.

Some of these seem to be willing to throw us to the tender mercies of a newly empowered Trump, as long as it means they get more cash from donors to stay in office.

They don't seem to believe that once Trump establishes himself, in a short time, I'm guessing within a year, there will be no opposition left to speak of, including them.

It is demoralizing to come here and see all the "goodbye Joe Biden" threads.

I believe the majority here feel the same way.

Let's find out.

Should Joe Biden step down?

(I am not in the habit of begging for recs, but if you vote, kindly rec for visibility so that the poll reaches as many DUers as possible, to make a more accurate reflection of the general sentiment on this site. Thanks! )
