“You don’t want to be that guy who is on the record saying we’re doomed, or the campaign’s bad or Biden’s making mistakes. Nobody wants to be that guy,” said a Democratic operative in close touch with the White House and granted anonymity to speak freely.

Fucking 2016 all over again...

Everyone keeps repeating that everything will be fine, and just ignore shit we could fix to help our chances

It is a very very low bar to be a better option than trump, it shouldn't be this difficult to beat him. But Biden only pulled it off in 2020 by being pulled left from a long competitive primary. He didn't get that this election, so now he's not even giving the lip service he did back then.

They are freaked out about their funding. If they were really freaked out about Biden they wouldn't be looking to accelerate his nomination, that would be looking for a different nominee.
