Do the derailed Democrats know Biden isn’t president right now?

Joe Biden's announcement that he has aggressive prostate cancer has derailed Democrats who are wrestling with a complicated mix of sympathy and unsettling new questions about his health.

I would have voted for Biden even if he threw up in on my face

georgiabluedevil.bsky.social•12 days ago

I would have voted for him if he'd been in a coma, and he'd be a better president in a coma than Trump is.

ciciart.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes!

bearpondboy.bsky.social•12 days ago

itstavis.bsky.social•11 days ago

They might be too "unsettled" to realize it.

susankayequinn.bsky.social•12 days ago

The NYT continues to fail America in every way

jasoncdaniels.bsky.social•12 days ago

I know, right?

jerrytimber.bsky.social•12 days ago

lol. It doesn’t seem so.

roxanegay.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also, I am super clear that the article itself is ridiculous.

thebilldelgrosso.bsky.social•12 days ago

Somebody have rhe NY Times read a transcript from the current presidents meetings in the Middle East

srbratton.bsky.social•12 days ago

The NYT is ridiculous.

dkmarsh.bsky.social•12 days ago

Dear Democrats,

Though it's fun to reminisce,
THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE! GRAB A HOSE!

wilranney.bsky.social•11 days ago

Ah yes, an article doing the very thing it claims others are doing.

mtj333.bsky.social•12 days ago

Real q not being snarky...why ridiculous?

julieproud.bsky.social•11 days ago

It sure is. Truly ridiculous.

californiacats.bsky.social•12 days ago

Now they feel guilty for blaming him that they pressured him into running for a second term because they failed to figure their shit out from 2020-2024?!

craigsuperstar.bsky.social•11 days ago

I haven't heard that they pressured him into running. Could you provide a link?

godofwine77.bsky.social•12 days ago

Journalism is clearly out to lunch. Maybe journalism took the early retirement that Elon Musk is offering federal employees because some of these articles I've read are either senseless or not holding the people who are supposed to be held accountable to their jobs They were voted to hold

chattycathy.bsky.social•12 days ago

what else can we expect from the Times. They will bash Joe for years past his passing while letting Trump speak like a crazy person and not say a word

craigsuperstar.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes, and they're trying to figure out what they could have done differently!

lynnrschrader.bsky.social•12 days ago

Amen!!!!

artgirlsummer.bsky.social•12 days ago

He's not even in the Senate. Democrats can just ignore him or send a basic "get well grandpa" card and focus on people with power.

danak.bsky.social•11 days ago

Does the New York Times?

killerweasel.bsky.social•11 days ago

With as much as Trump blames him for things, I’m not sure Trump knows Biden isn’t President.

thelarom.bsky.social•12 days ago

Does the New York Times know that Democrats know that Biden isn’t president? Unclear.

roxanegay.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also a question

dianainchicago.bsky.social•12 days ago

I have to think publishing this reflects far more badly on the NYT than any back room grousing that may or may not be happening w Dems. Because who gives a f at this point? Honestly.

roxanegay.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s just so bizarre. Who is this story for?

roncampbell.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think it's for the Dean Phillips supporters. All five of them.

dotrat47.bsky.social•12 days ago

More importantly, why is everyone ignoring the drug-addled, dementia-ridden, incompetent that is President? 🤔

roxanegay.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s right there!

dotrat47.bsky.social•12 days ago

Eventually his medical history will be revealed just like the NYPD exposed his real height and weight and it'll be far worse than prostate cancer.

aikoetc.bsky.social•11 days ago

I'm convinced they have evidence of Trump's diagnosed dementia and that is why this is flaring up so much right now. Every accusation is a confession from this White House so I truly believe this means someone is covering up evidence of Trump's failing health

dotrat47.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yikes. We all 'have evidence'!! 🤣

narfnampil.bsky.social•11 days ago

In living color! 🧡🍊🎃🦁🥕🔸🚚🤬🔥

rednecklefty.bsky.social•11 days ago

We should ask the Times toadies, Are the detailed Democrats in the room with you now?

robertm817.bsky.social•11 days ago

If they focus on Biden they don’t have to focus on the current president, and how they have no answers to stop him and don’t really want to anyway 💔💀

whimsywriter.bsky.social•12 days ago

It took the NYT four hundred years to cover slavery and the within 5 they backed off of even that.

Legacy Media (including NYT, NPR, WaPo, all TV News) covers for powerful people until they lose power. Release far too late to be actionable or accountable.

Quislings to power, not journalists

katywho50.bsky.social•9 days ago

TYVM. I thought Maga was gullible and took bait easily but Dems have them topped in this area. The focus is everywhere but where it's should be (with a few notable exceptions of Congress people who speak out).

lbbshell.bsky.social•12 days ago

Are the derailed democrats in the room with us right now?
I feel like these articles come from a place of wanting drama on the Democrats and not understanding they're more like dead fish.

proteccmeg.bsky.social•12 days ago

Do these incessant Biden critics, from across the spectrum, only seem to understand the concept of vice presidents when the VP is a man?
These sort of issues are why we have a back-up person

But anything to distract from the current, less competent administration...

oneofthegoodpauls.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm seeing like a lot of "BIDEN SHOULD HAVE DROPPED OUT!"

and I'm like...

"... He did?"

graver0byn.bsky.social•11 days ago

Some of the Russian prog accounts weren't here back then.

camasonian.bsky.social•12 days ago

They are just mad because they didn't get their second "jungle primary"

alexblackwood.bsky.social•12 days ago

Has the NY Times heard about the Trump administration? Because we have way more urgent stuff to worry about. And most Democrats know it just fine.

georgiabluedevil.bsky.social•12 days ago

Do they know he wasn't on the ballot in the general and wasn't even the nominee?

thebookwizard.bsky.social•12 days ago

I dunno. They’re acting like he still is.

Meanwhile, Joe:

whoinworldwitw.bsky.social•11 days ago

Kindling. The NYT is best used as kindling.

samay-gheewala.bsky.social•12 days ago

"Biden Old" was the new "Hillary's Emails" and they're trying to convince people it mattered.

teedeebee670.bsky.social•12 days ago

As long as 47 continues campaigning against Biden (with no end in sight), Dems seem incapable of resisting the bait. 🤦‍♀️

jimfrank.bsky.social•12 days ago

Does the NYTimes know the present president is a criminal?

jagsaysstupid.bsky.social•12 days ago

But didn’t you know everyone who voted for Trump would have voted for Biden if only they had known the extent of his health wait a second that doesn’t even make good nonsense

priscillamaloney.bsky.social•12 days ago

And now I'm wondering about those folks' "mental acuity".

ithacagreg.bsky.social•11 days ago

Not the ones the NYT want to talk to.

denverchick.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ugh. MAGAs claim the NYTimes is left wing. Perhaps that was true long, long ago, but it has come up with these kinds of anti-Democrat headlines for as long as I can remember.

dogsdadbod.bsky.social•12 days ago

Lousy Biden, with this news now I can't get railed to save my life!

tetrapod.bsky.social•11 days ago

Look, they're still reeling over Jimmy Carter.

dogsnapper.bsky.social•12 days ago

Somebody needs to make them stop. They are doing more harm than good. When they should be doing everything they can to gain our confidence and support, this is what they are choosing. It is no wonder they keep losing to trump. He may be an evil liar but he knows how to rally his people.

tklayton.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m not sure they realize he was not the candidate in the last election.

teritime2025.bsky.social•12 days ago

He's a great man. Great Presiden.

momisanangryghost.bsky.social•12 days ago

This right here

trinaogorman.bsky.social•11 days ago

Right? Like I also have new questions, such as - What the f*ck? Well, that’s not really new. That’s like my question of the day every day.

elliotghoul.bsky.social•11 days ago

Does The NY Times?

shaggin-baby.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can we stop talking about Biden?

itstygrey.bsky.social•12 days ago

Judging from the never ending campaign fundraising events, are we sure Trump knows?

meshaiman.bsky.social•11 days ago

Does NYT think there are any derailed Democrats in the room right now?

drunkenlobster.bsky.social•12 days ago

Here's an idea: primary anyone who is detailed by this and unable to effectively fight facism.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think a simple "I pledge not to vote for Joe Biden for president" should be good enough, then maybe they can go back to thinking about Trump?

segasior.bsky.social•12 days ago

I am SO tired of the focus on him. It is just what this country doesn't need on top of everything else.

maga-the-podcast.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's so hard to cheer when your team's sponsored by:

ldxlauren.bsky.social•11 days ago

good question 😂

pwnedlib.bsky.social•12 days ago

“Joe Biden suffering and likely dying is really inconvenient for our messaging” is a wild thing to say. We are truly staring into the void.

ewokspear.bsky.social•12 days ago

Are the Derailed Democrats in this room right now?

wakeflood.bsky.social•12 days ago

Better question: Why do you feel compelled to keep the non-story alive with your projection?

erinlsnyder.bsky.social•12 days ago

Maybe the Times got sucked through a vortex into a parallel universe?

Come to think of it, that would explain a lot of their recent coverage.

lynnrschrader.bsky.social•12 days ago

And never will be again. Except I think it’s more chattering class people rather than Dem voters.

htownqueer.bsky.social•12 days ago

We need Joe in 2028! Only he can beat Trump.

(Some PR person still working for the DNC)
