George Clooney calls for Biden to drop out, weeks after helping him raise $14 million. Also recently called WH to complain about Biden's ICC remarks

The problem is that any "process" to find a nominee within limited windows would be hijacked by black democrat officials demanding Kamala win or else. And after years of "believe black women" nonsense being baked into the liberal electorate, I think Kamala would have won whatever quasi nomination process they came up with in order to avoid strife. There wasn't enough time for her to inevitably sink herself. For instance if Biden had announced he wasn't running after the 2022 midterms, there would have been enough time for an actual primary and I think Kamala could have been defeated if the field wasn't too big.

End of the day this cake was baked when Biden refused to step down before 2024. Obama/Clooney/Pelosi/etc were right that Kamala wasn't the right candidate but there was no time to rectify it. Even if Biden didn't immediately endorse her, she would have been the presumptive choice for most democrats.

No funny shyt, as bad as shyt is now, for this guy to bring up the election, while he lives in Europe is WILD disrespectful.

We talking bout this while Trump is plotting to starve people and send the army into US cities.

The way i understood it the divide were your Clintons and Pelosi wanted to get Kamala in there as there was no time to plan while the Obama side wanted an emergency Primary or some sorts but when the get Kamala in asap side “won” everyone aligned for the public perception even though the dirt was already public
This was all true, the pretext that everyone was in agreement was that Biden wasn’t going to beat trump, but shills are acting like Clooney is some type of traitor for having the courage to say publicly, the type of conversations the donors and politicians were having behind closed doors.

Clinton and pelosi are nine figure net worth individuals. They don’t even know how much a gallon of milk costs let alone have a clue about what’s going on in the real world and they’re just not that bright.

Obama and Clooney were on the same page because they realized how stupid it was picking the VP as the nominee.

Biden in 2024 had the lowest approval rating during his entire presidency. Picking someone within that administration to run in 2024 would require them to either

1. throw Biden under the bus by criticizing his presidency while he’s still in office

Or

2. to sabotage their own campaign by saying they agree with his policies.

Kamala chose to sabotage her own campaign by being loyal to the democrat establishment and she ruined her career for it. If she was smart and strategic, she would have waited until 2028. She would have still lost though :mjlol:

2022 should have been when Dems kicked off primaries as ot gives a chance to observe Bidens time and see what the platform response needs to be against trump AND combat anything Biden does as a “biden issue” not a “Dem” issuse.

Look people it’s simple. Both Biden and Harris were shytty candidates.

But since incumbent Vice Presidents are never have primaries, Biden decided to run in order to keep the perception of solidarity in the party. And since Trump was going to be the nominee he felt the same outcome would happen.


At the end of the day, the Democratic Party fukked up by pushing Biden in 2016.

Their goal was to stop Trump and Progressives, but Trump got re-elected anyway 4 years later anyway and more people are starting to turn to the progressive movement.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Biden needed to drop out at least a year before the election to allow for a proper primary. Hell, two years would have been perfect. This would have allowed for candidates to get their platforms set and for a true and proper primary to occur. Hopefully the Democrats learn from this lesson.

Your lumping a lot of stuff together

1st fukk the donors. I just want to say that uncategorically. The reason this country is going to hell in a hand basket is the belief that the accumulation of money makes you smarter or wiser than everyone else. Donald Trump was a well known donor before he ran for president and he is maybe the dumbest politician ever to be president.

It wasn't Clooney’s place to write a op-ed. Hell have you ever considered that the reason Biden was so dead set to put Kamala as his replacement was the amount of public acrimony and hate the donors and Nancy put on his name. When the time came to step down, why would he work with them? They all contributed to the shyt show we are in now.

Also the vast majority of voters in 2024 voted based on vibes. Using that election as some sort of verification for being correct is absurd. I don't want to say the majority of voters are stupid (though I think it….) but that election was the dumbest thing I have seen in American History in my life time. Its less than a year in Trump has led the country to a recession, torn down a major part of the white house, given the least economic solvent country in the world $40 billion dollars, and has the government shut down to try and gut healthcare while schemeing to starve people. Nobody who didn't vote for Kamala or voted for Trump can “look down” on the people who did. Including Clooney who once again, comes off as a clown bringing this up Now of all times when the federal government is in shambles.
How can you say fukk the donors when they’re the ones providing the money to put democrats in office. George Clooney has done more for the democrats than arguably any other human being ever :dahell:

Biden brought the public outcry on himself because of his reluctance to step-down. He’s 82 years old with severe dementia and metastatic cancer and the lowest approval rating of his presidency. He had no chance of winning. The democrats even tried to downplay his health issues which is why Clooney stepped up.

The vast majority of voters didn’t vote based on vibes. The economy was terrible, and Biden turned to an Israel dikk sucker. He even said “Americans were willing to pay higher gas prices on top of already historic highs to support the Ukraine” :mjlol:


Biden went completely AWOL during the end of his presidency. People who didn’t vote can absolutely look down on people who did. The Israel genocide was the deal breaker for most people. Our domestic issues is one thing but sending our tax Dollars to a mass murdering right-wing state is too far for most people.

You’re clearly trolling, which is fair, who really cares about George Clooney.

Anyhow, look up Citizen’s United and you would understand why I am against the donors. Money is not political speech. I don't care what a bit nch of radical conservative SC judges says. In fact if I could point to one ruling that has been a cancer on this country it would be citizens united. I don't want to go back and forth of donors either cause that is besides the point. Just know what they want does not align with what 99% of Americans want.
