Biden had a bad debate: faces calls to withdraw from the race.

Trump convicted of 34 felonies: record fund raising.

You're being willfully obtuse. It wasn't a bad debate, it was 90 minutes of confirmation that Biden was unfit for office. It was a 90 minute confirmation of what had been dubbed "right-wing propaganda" until that very moment.

It was likewise 90 minutes of confirmation that Trump is unfair for office: a non-stop steam of rambling nonsense and lies. A vote for Biden is a vote for a capable administration to do the actual work while grandpa sunsets. A vote for Trump is a vote for an administration of lackeys and con-man champing at the bit to turn the loot the country and turn it into a Christo-fascist kleptocracy.

If you think a Commander in Chief who is definitely going to betray the country for personal gain is an acceptance alternative to one who might make a mistake because he's old, you deserve the hellscape you'll get. The rest of us don't though.

Well yeah. That's just a drop in the long of things that trump supporters think makes him good.

Biden's facing calls because it's obvious he's at the elderly stage where he shouldn't be leading the country.

Biden didn't have a bad debate. He and his team showed America that he's had a significant decline in mental capacity and instead gaslit the public and media about it.

Seriously. Can NYT Op-Ed run 100% "Trump should drop out" articles every time he does something far more disqualifying? They'll never run another opinion again.

They tried that back in 2016 and it just made him stronger.

It's because Democrats don't worship Biden as some Jesus reborn patriot whereas Republicans worship a literally prideful, envious, slothly, wrathful, greedy, gluttonous, and lustful old man as some Jesus reborn candidate.

Biden dropping out could actually lead to Trump's, defeat is the right person is chosen. If he dies of old age before the election, however, then we may see a landslide defeat.

That said, Trump is just as likely to die of old age at this point, if not moreso due to his propensity to indulge in hamburders and rage-fueled rants.

I guess stay I'm saying is fuck all of this. I've never felt less patriotic on the fourth of July than this year... What a fucking shitshow.

Edit: But hey, maybe Biden is right. Stubbornness and self-aggrandizing behavior worked out great for RBG, right?

Congratulations, you seem to have realized that republicans are backward degenerate wastes-of-carbon.
