Andrew Yang: Biden going to deliver us ‘Trump the sequel’

Andrew Yang is not a serious person that people should listen to. Next.

Dean Phillips is still a thing? I legit thought that ended months ago.

Oh look, The Hill shilling for the right again.

The candidate is a Democrat...

Hmm... can't imagine why Republicans might want to push a Democrat as an alternate candidate to Biden.

It's a primary. We still live in a democracy, right?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


At a New Hampshire campaign event for Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips (Minn.) on Thursday, former presidential candidate Andrew Yang claimed that if President Biden becomes the party’s nominee, he will “deliver to us Trump the sequel.”

Like, Joe Biden, who I supported last time, in my view, is going to deliver us to Trump the sequel.”

I am going to do something about it.’ And Dean Phillips is the only one with the courage, the character and conviction to go against the grain, to go against the legion of followers in Washington, D.C., who would put their careers above their country and said, ‘You know what?

The Minnesota Democrat has repeatedly stated that the 2024 election is about the future, and the country deserves better than a 2020 rematch between Biden and former President Trump, the likely Republican nominee.

In a recent interview, Phillips said there is not “one shred of evidence” that Biden can overtake Trump in the upcoming election.

At Thursday’s Manchester, N.H., campaign event, Yang highlighted the 54-year-old three-term lawmaker, and said having someone younger in office address challenges such as artificial intelligence would “help me sleep more soundly at night.” He continued, suggesting the Biden administration may be complacent in solving the country’s problems because they “think they’re going to be” in office either way.


The original article contains 393 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Biden has done so much good and helped get this country back into a sane space in an insane time full of outright lies and misinformation. It is admirable but he is losing this race in the media and his policy of feeding the machine in the Middle East is eroding his base and alienating his minority voters. You can ignore it and you can make excuses but it is not going away. I can understand people wanting him to step aside and the party nominate someone else. The problem is the party has no one else that can garner the support needed to beat Trump. The right does not care, they don't have a problem with a rapist con artist leading their party. Trump has said everything he is going to do and the party is numb to outright illegal behavior. Maybe this awakens the left voters who historically don't vote...I hope it works, I will vote for Biden because I can't in good conscience vote for the right and their current agenda.

Anyway, that's my take...but what do I know, I'm just some peckerwood from south Texas.

The Dems are fragmenting and it’s Biden’s fault. He’s too old and frail to be president. Ideally he would’ve taken the route LBJ took and announced his decision to abstain from running a re-election campaign, then endorsed the chosen nominee.
