What is to be done about Joe Biden? w/Marc Cooper and Harold Meyerson | Start Making Sense
Marc Cooper argues that the narrative for Joe Biden’s presidency has now been set – he’s “too old.” And the Supreme Court decision on immunity for Trump makes it essential that he be defeated. Kamala Harris would be the choice of the Party establishment, if he agreed to step aside; at the convention, she might be nominated by acclamation, without a vote among alternative choices.
Also: Harold Meyerson analyzes what it would take to get Biden to decline the nomination: polls about the opinion of the Democratic rank-and-file; the views of Democratic senators and House members-- those in danger of losing their seats and political careers; and Biden’s own circle--the crucial factor for them will be their assessment of Biden’s legacy.

Customer Reviews
Time of Monsters 5/4/24
Towards the end of that interview the interviewer and the interviewee finally, in my opinion, got to a critical part of the problem which personally I don’t hear spoken of very often today. I refer to what in my mind is Biden sacrificing the future of American democracy for the sake of almost uncritical support of the Zionist governmental expression in Israel. If these students who are deeply moral and idealistic do not vote for Biden towards the end of this year, there becomes an even more real chance that Trump will be the next president. This outcome would be very, very dangerous. And I feel like we don’t focus our public discussions on this tragic flaw in Biden’s position as well as in his character enough.
Naomi Klein
There is problem with your view of Taibi. He is a journalist and a muckraker. He tries not to have a political view. He does not support Tucker or Rachel. He is a searcher for the truth with no censorship or bias. You do his very serious work a disservice to paint him with such a broad brush
Incredibly rude to Judith Butler
You had Katha pollit—an on the record Zionist apologist—repeatedly misgender Judith butler while providing a facile, transphobic misreading of their book. Why not have a trans person on to criticize, there’s plenty to criticize validly, but this is nothing short of a rude dismissal.
