A sense of concern is growing inside the top ranks of the Democratic Party that leaders of Joe Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee are not taking seriously enough the impact of the president’s troubling debate performance earlier in the week.

DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez held a Saturday afternoon call with dozens of committee members across the country, a group of some of the most influential members of the party. They largely ignored Biden’s weak showing Thursday night or the avalanche of criticism that followed.

Multiple committee members on the call, most granted anonymity to talk about the private discussion, described feeling like they were being gaslighted — that they were being asked to ignore the dire nature of the party’s predicament. The call, they said, may have worsened a widespread sense of panic among elected officials, donors and other stakeholders.

Instead, the people said, Harrison offered what they described as a rosy assessment of Biden’s path forward. The chat function was disabled and there were no questions allowed.

Of course you view the left with suspicion.

In fact, I’m filled with the suspicion that Bernie or another progressive Dem would be in the same spot, or worse, as Biden is currently.

Stellar reading comprehension, as always.

You suspect that progressives could possibly do worse than your decrepit neoliberal king. How is that an incorrect reading of your post?

That's not what 'view with suspicion' means. Don't worry - my opinion of your intellectual honesty isn't any higher than my opinion of your reading comprehension.

You think the left could somehow do worse than biden. That's really all that one needs to know about you. Keep excusing your BS with claims that I'm not reading your posts right. Try writing a post that isn't a thinly-veiled bashing of the left.

Yes, the left could electorally do worse than Biden, because I live in a very right-wing country. Sorry that you don't pay attention to US affairs.
