Oh so no one was calling Biden senile and incompetent before...nope...just now.... 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Biden wasn't yet going on live TV and having the only comprehensible thing he said during the whole event be that he beat medicare.

Edit: downvote it all you want. This is the most important election I've lived to see, and the democrats have collectively decided that our best chance of winning and stopping a full tilt descent into open Christian fascism lies with a guy who would have been sent home from being a Wal-Mart greeter. I think that's completely insane. We can and should do better than Ruth Bader Ginsburging the election.

Yes, there's a legitimate chance that Trump could die or become disabled in any of the same ways Biden realistically could between now and November; stroke, heart attack, fall with various injuries, just whole ass failing to wake up, etc. BUT consider the outcome. If Trump dies, as-is, the GOP is left directionless and we probably get four more years of conservative Democrats. If Biden dies, as-is, best case is we get a Kamala Harris who has been wholly unprepared and wholly unprepared for by the DNC, and we more than likely end up with however long it takes for the Christian Fascist regime to spark a civil war or otherwise implode under its own stupid weight, probably a good deal longer than four years. And between the two of them, Biden seems a lot more frail, and I'm not just talking about the debate stage. Every appearance I've seen from Biden in the last four to six months, even in carefully managed campaign ads, he looks and sounds like hell, his speech is a lot more unclear and uneven than it used to be (I will fucking elbow drop you if you say it's his stutter. Compare Biden now to Biden twelve or even four years ago), he walks with the kind of old man shuffle that suggests he should be using a walker for his own safety. I think that Biden is at very real risk of death or disability soon, he's most likely too frail to get us across the finish line, and we're stupidly gambling the entire future of the country and the people that live in it because the Democrats love their stupid hierarchies or whatever (it's her turn!). I swear, if we descend into Christian fascism and the consequences thereof, I'm going to slap every person I meet from the DNC. I'm going to slap them until they're as fucking cooked as our country is.

Well good luck to you, have fun, try not to nuke the rest of the world, and let's hope the fascists don't win.

I'm not American but what other option do they have? The democratic party is in a bad shape and "just make another party" isn't viable.

Republicans and Democrats have guaranteed a third party can't be viable.

That’s the problem. That’s been the problem. Personally I do like Biden and what he’s done but he’s clearly too old. Even back in November when they started more actively campaigning, it already seemed too late to find someone else. Now it’s 7 months later

The only other candidate that has successfully raised his stature is Newsom, but if the internet is representative, the entire middle of the country is reflexively anti-California (plus he was campaigning for 2028)
