Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden
One adviser to major Democratic donors keeps a running list of reasons Biden could lose.
28 May 2024 ~~ By CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO, SALLY GOLDENBERG and ELENA SCHNEIDER
A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump.
All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.
“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.
But Biden’s stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election “are creating the freakout,” he said.
“This isn’t, ‘Oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.’ It’s ‘Oh my God, the democracy might end.’”
Despite everything, Trump is running ahead of Biden in most battleground states.

“The most diplomatic thing I hear from Democrats is, ‘Oh my God, are these the choices we have for president?’”
Commentary:
Hmm...., maybe the Democrat Beo-Marxist principal strategy of advocating killing more babies isn’t enough! Now they have the sads!”
I’ve never understood the Democrat's concept of, "We have to save democracy", and all of that.
People who claim Democracy itself is on the ballot etc., are telling us we need to vote Democrat.
The whole point of free and fair elections is that voters have choices of which candidates or political parties they support.
If we truly have free and fair elections, we are free to vote for whoever we want.,,We are not required to vote Democrat to save democracy.
Then there's the recent talking point has been if Trump wins then 2024 will be the last election we ever have.
Democrats are so eager to “Save Democracy” they are willing to cheat and ignore the will of the voters.
If what Trump does is a threat to democracy I’m down for it because I’ve had enough of what seems to be the dim brand of democracy.
