Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

All I've seen is people telling him to step down. I haven't seen a concrete solution for what happens if he does. That's why all of this dick waving is doing nothing but hurting his chances. All you "Dems" are just regurgitating conservative talking points and doing their propaganda for them. Instead of talking about how he stumbled, talk about how Trump did nothing but lie, rape, and is a convicted felon. His showing was far worse than Biden, yet here his side is attacking him and ignoring Trump. The option to switch candidates is long gone. It's fine to be critical of Biden, but if all you are is critical, then you are actively hurting his chances of reelection.
It's mind numbing how many of you are just out there actively attacking the guy that will be the candidate in November, whether you like it or not. Reality sucks sometimes, and you get stuck with a giant douche and a turd sandwich, but that's just how it is. An awful lot of faces for leopards out there.
Because there isn't one. Everyone asking him to step down with no clear alternative is either stupid or acting in bad faith. The longer this BS goes on the more likely it is to turn off undecided voters regardless of the replacement.
It's 1968 all over again. I'm a millennial and was clearly not alive for that. But I've read enough about elections and talked with my parents about how Nixon won. The DNC infighting and 3rd party spoilers gave us Nixon. People are begging to do that again and going to get us Trump.
Redo the primary?
There is no conservative talking points. Liberal media has brainwashed Dems to the point they won't accept Biden is a senile joke when everyone watching a 30 second clip of the debate can observe it for themselves.
And after months of liberal media gaslighting about how Biden is totally fine even they now have to admit he's a senile geriatric. But since they told everyone that's deepfake propaganda libs won't believe their eyes and ears anymore.
Biden can still be swapped but Dems are already in Blue MAGA mode. It's hillarious. Biden simps will be the reason Trump wins.
I suppose if you ignore almost everything else over the past 3 years and only look at the debate, you could make an argument that he's not mentally cognizant. Or you could look at his track record and all of the stuff that his admin has accomplished after the disaster that was the trump regime.
There's no time to make a swap. If he stepped down immediately, there wouldn't be a formal plan in place for days or weeks. After that, the execution of said plan will take months. There's not time, that ship sailed.
The last 4 years aren't a great indicator of the next 4, not that theyve done a great job communicating over the former. Mental decline from dementia can be rapid and aggressive once it starts and the stress of the office is only going to make that worse.
Which is why it's good he's surrounded himself with smart people that actually drive the decisions.
Right but they're not communicating what they're doing which is why the voter base aren't very informed on the merits of this administration other than that it's not a Trump administration.
I fully agree. His administration's PR team sucks. They don't need to go out and flaunt every time he had a successfully bowel movement, but at least parrot more of the everyday victories that people can relate to. Admittedly that's not always super easy when under constant attack, but they need to be better.
If you ignore his massive gaffe's and the media's lies about it over the past year you could make an argument nobody saw this coming. Instead everyone calling it out got accused of clipping Biden out of context and other smear attacks from liberal media.
The 2020 Democratic primaries ended in August. There's more than enough time to swap Biden out. I can't even begin to understand this line of reasoning that it's already too late.
