I get the impression that the dems basically gambled everything on the offensive, they built it up in the media, scavenged whatever they could, and it was supposed to get some big results and then the media would run with it. Joe would win the election riding on having defeated Russia and saved the free world.

Instead it failed in the most spectacular way possible, and they don’t really have any cards left to play now. They can’t convince Russia to freeze the conflict until after the elections, and it’s likely Russia will go on an offensive of their own come winter. So there could be a collapse in Ukraine happening as the election season heats up.

Seems like throwing Biden under the bus is the only move they have left in that situation. You all of a sudden discover that Biden has a lot of business dealings in Ukraine, that he may be compromised, and that he has a big conflict of interest running the war. Blame it all on him and hope you can distance the party from the debacle somehow.

The real question whom the dems will float as a replacement since they don’t have a single candidate that’s known or liked at this point. Perhaps they try to pump up Newsom?

    They’d probably put up Kamala to lose on purpose since anyone to the left of “Standard Democrat” is poison to the party. So yeah, hoist up Kamala, watch her lose spectacularly, then blame it on Republicans being racist and sexist.

    On the other hand, whoever replaces the current talking head wax dummy would still be a part of the same establishment. Still a loyal servant of the capitalist class, still a warmonger and a death-dealer

    Oh no they’ve already hopped in with biden in the long run, way too much has been invested into this guy. He really is the perfect candidate for a MICIMATT puppet, he’ll stay in as long as it takes, even if it harms long-term planning. Trump is also out of the picture, he’ll not win or even run in the elections, that’s guaranteed.

    Ukraine is another dozzy for the establishment but ultimately they’ll stick with ukraine until its invertible demise, from then I don’t know what will happen, my hopeful guess is the yanks get their arse kicked out of the region for good, and peace will be signed. Ukraine will still be slave to western corporations and NGOs, but no military bases will be on its soil.

    “The real question whom the dems will float as a replacement since they don’t have a single candidate that’s known or liked at this point. Perhaps they try to pump up Newsom?”

    Good question, no one knows, even the establishment doesn’t know, and I have a feeling in the future politicians wouldn’t want to be presidents, since there’s nothing but humiliation and defeat in store for the yanks, being the president will just make you the fall guy, since all power is behind the throne anyway, who even wants to be in the spotlight?
