For the past few posts, I’ve been warning about the very real possibility in the near future of the subjugation of all Americans under autocratic minority rule based on the recent Supreme Court’s (Trump v. United States) ruling that vastly expands US presidential powers and the Project 2025 922-page far-right’s blueprint on how to revolutionize government institutions to support an autocracy, with a wannabe dictator GOP MAGA ex-president at the helm.
It looks like Democrat Party titans like the democrat party’s former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who has been a strong supporter of POTUS Joe Biden, have been doing their homework. She has been calling all congressional representatives, while checking internal polls of different regions. She has now informed POTUS Joe Biden about the damning results of her investigation showing the evidence that he can’t win, as she took time to encourage him to step down. She has shared poll numbers with him, showing that his VP Kamala Harris can win the presidential prize.

While I trust in POTUS Joe Biden’s self-analysis that he’s able to continue in the presidential race despite his debate flop, backed up by 2023/ 2024 public results of thorough medical physical exams, including neurological consults by competent physicians, and his past outstanding leadership for past 3+ years, I also trust in the integrity of the former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Within the past 3 days, POTUS Biden has been diagnosed with COVID and the legislator, Adam Schiff, a close ally to the former Speaker Pelosi, has visited him to ask him to walk away from becoming the democrat party’s presidential candidate. He’s now self-isolating in Delaware until he recovers from COVID as he contemplates over his political conundrum. He’s feeling that what’s happening to him isn’t fair and he’s right. But reality is that the perception of his inability to continue onwards, has become what’s most entrenched in voters’ minds.
If I were in the shoes of POTUS Joe Biden, I wouldn’t agree to walk away without being assured of certain guarantees like the democrat infrastructure picking VP Kamala Harris to be the democrats’ presidential nominee, and that the upcoming convention will be a show of unity where he’ll be granted a prime speaking spot to talk to the nation.
He’s still in the driver’s seat. Millions of Democrats chose him to be their presidential candidate during the 2024 primary elections, despite most being aware of POTUS Biden’s age, and he was awarded the necessary delegates to affirm their decision.
My pick would be a Harris-Sanders ticket.
The following information is important because the GOP MAGA political infrastructure have been trumpeting the ex-president, as being a strong leader. Yet, in 2018, he’s the one who had backed out of a cemetery visit in France due to rain; and in the same year, he was the first president in 56 years while at the White House, not to visit Arlington on Veterans Day, because he was too busy. Democrats should be redefining what being strong means, as looking strong isn’t enough.
Stuart Stevens in his July 3, 2024 Atlantic article , “The Antidemocratic Uprising Against Joe Biden,” reminds readers how the GOP MAGA ex-president’s penchant for autocratic leaders like Vladimir Putin of Russia, will transform US foreign policy landscape.
“After decades of losing the image wars as Republicans positioned themselves as the “party of strength,” Democrats are on the verge of a historic self-redefinition. When Biden traveled to Ukraine, he became the first president to visit an allied war zone not controlled by U.S. troops. A Democratic speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, defied China and visited Taiwan. A Republican Party that was once defined by Ronald Reagan demanding “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” is now the beating heart of the pro–Vladimir Putin movement, led by a former president elected with the Russian dictator’s help.”
A GOP MAGA administration would alter US foreign policy developed over 7 decades by making it more nationalist, less cooperative, and more unilateralist, straining relations with longstanding allies. He doesn’t believe that the US continuing its membership in NATO, as part of the world order that the United States created after World War II and extended after the collapse of the Soviet Union, serves American interests.
I took a trip back in time to 2016 to review the presidential nominees’ debate results and the polling data. In 2016, The democrat party’s presidential nominee Hillary Clinton won all three debates against her republican opponent, Donald Trump. Yet, the republican party infrastructure stood by him, and the rest is history.
What the polling tells me is that the number of those who said they were solidly in the Clinton camp or in the Trump camp matched the numbers of the final results. It’s earning the support of independent voters and non-voters who’re eligible to vote that’ll make the difference in deciding the 2024 winners in swing states.
The other opportunity for increasing votes for Democrat candidates would be for them to cater to the non-college educated workers who by overwhelming numbers gave the win to Trump in 2016.
As for the older voter, the Project 2025’s plan to overhaul Medicare should be enough to increase turnout and votes for democrats.
I found the following data compiled Statista to be very interesting:
2016 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES
Poll on who won the first Trump – Clinton debate
Number of TV viewers of the first Trump – Clinton debate
Poll on who won the second Trump – Clinton debate
Number of TV viewers of the second Trump – Clinton debate
Poll on who won the third Trump – Clinton debate
Number of TV viewers of the third Trump – Clinton debate
As per the August 9, 2018 report published by Pew Research Center, “An examination of the 2016 electorate, based on validated voters:”
Excerpts:
“Overall, whites with a four-year college degree or more education made up 30% of all validated voters. Among these voters, far more (55%) said they voted for Clinton than for Trump (38%). Among the much larger group of white voters who had not completed college (44% of all voters), Trump won by more than two-to-one (64% to 28%).”
“Trump had an advantage among 50- to 64-year-old voters (51% to 45%) and those 65 and older (53% to 44%).”
“And while non-college whites made up a majority of Trump’s voters (63%), they constituted only about a quarter of Clinton’s (26%).”
“About a third of Clinton voters (32%) lived in urban areas, versus just 12% among Trump voters. By contrast, 35% of Trump voters said they were from a rural area; among Clinton voters, 19% lived in a rural community.”
“The religious profile of the 2 candidates’ voters also differed considerably. About a third of Clinton voters (35%) were religiously unaffiliated, as were just 14% of Trump voters. White evangelical voters made up a much greater share of Trump’s voters (34%) than Clinton’s (7%). One-in-five Trump voters (20%) were white non-Hispanic Catholics, compared with just 9% of Clinton voters. And black Protestants were 14% of Clintons supporters, while almost no black Protestants reported voting for Trump.”
“The data also provide a profile of voting-eligible nonvoters. Four-in-ten Americans who were eligible to vote did not do so in 2016. There are striking demographic differences between voters and nonvoters, and significant political differences as well. Compared with validated voters, nonvoters were more likely to be younger, less educated, less affluent and nonwhite.”
“Overall, whites with a four-year college degree or more education made up 30% of all validated voters. Among these voters, far more (55%) said they voted for Clinton than for Trump (38%). Among the much larger group of white voters who had not completed college (44% of all voters), Trump won by more than two-to-one (64% to 28%).”
“Trump had an advantage among 50- to 64-year-old voters (51% to 45%) and those 65 and older (53% to 44%).”
(Results from) respondents placed into 5 categories ranging from “consistently conservative” to “consistently liberal.” (For more, see “The Partisan Divide on Political Values Grows Even Wider.”)
“Virtually all validated voters with consistently liberal values voted for Clinton over Trump (95% to 2%), while nearly all those with consistently conservative values went for Trump (98% to less than 1% for Clinton). Those who held conservative views on most political values (“mostly conservative”) favored Trump by 87% to 7%, while Clinton received the support of somewhat fewer among those who were “mostly liberal” (78%-13%). Among the nearly one-third of voters whose ideological profile was mixed, the vote was divided (48% Trump, 42% Clinton).”

What would America be today if President Lincoln had given up on saving the Union because experts told him in May 1863 that he could not win… before Gettysburg… Biden is a winner and I think we should stick with him.
