At least 3 sources confirmed this "Private conversation".

Seems not-so-private then? How do we keep getting news reports of these "private conversations" every week?

[–] torsday 27 points 3 months ago

Very possibly leaked to put pressure on Biden and ease up pressure from other congressman to join with their opposition to him running.

Controlled leaks from Pelosi's team would be my guess. Clearly she didn't want the conversation to stay private.

Edit: Nevermind the other commenter already said this.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because your conservative funded news outlets have a very overt goal here.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Of course! Swapping out the incumbent is a guaranteed loss, so it's their best investment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Because it is a media attack

I'm gonna repeat myself. I don't think it will matter. Biden could win all 50 states, but there will still be 1/5th of this country behind traitor Trump. Even if 250m people stand against the rhetoric and violence this group advocates for, we've been socially fractured. The American people have been demoralized too much for too long to oppose such a unified force.

The Supreme Court showed their hand. They have already overriden an election in 2000. They can and will do it again. Too many things that are happening are too similar to every past collapse in history.

The one chance we had was unifying as anti-nazi. When that didn't happen, our fate was sealed.

The only reason that happened in 2000 was because Gore decided it was for the best to let it go.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Bullshit. That's not the only reason that happened. That just made it go more smoothly because Gore incorrectly decided to be the bigger man.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I think no matter what it's inevitable. We never fully acknowledged our insanely bad propaganda problem. While that persists the Republican party isn't going anywhere...

I really can't believe Russia is going to get exactly what they wanted. With the US essentially dead we're going to enter a decade of wars of aggression. China will make their move and Russia will spread into NATO countries as we pull out of NATO.

It's not really private if CNN reports it....

[–] Bernie_Sandals 14 points 3 months ago

There's a massive difference between a leak, even an intentional one, and coming out and holding a press conference telling Biden to step down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah but you are supposed to feel like you are on the inside reading it tho

Some propganadist was feeling smart writing the headline too!

This is who you wanted instead bernie. Stfu Pelosi and eat your gruel.

[–] Omegamanthethird 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that means we all eat gruel.

Don't blame me.... I voted for bernie. I blame Bill Maher/ Pelosi msnbc boomer liberals
