The showrunner for popular television series including Lost, The Leftovers, and The Watchmen wrote a guest column for Deadline explaining why he feels Biden should throw in the towel.

“I’ve been asleep at the wheel and it’s time to wake the f— up,” he wrote. “There is a choice before us and the choice is this – Do we leave our pitcher on the mound or do we go to the bullpen for relief?”

“Our president’s debate performance has been characterized in many ways; disappointing, upsetting, terrifying… but for me it was simply game-changing. So yes, let’s go with the bullpen please. Let’s go with relief,” he added.

Continuing with the sports analogies, he urged fellow Democrats to withhold donations until the party replaces Biden with a new candidate for the 2024 election.

“I propose a DEMbargo. No checks written. No ActBlue links clicked. For anyone,” he said.”Is it misguided to punish the entire team for the stubbornness of the pitcher? Maybe. But it’s also common sense that if he stays in, they will also lose. A rising tide lifts all boats. A falling Biden sinks them.”
