Kinda makes you wonder if they’re democrats at all….

Right?

It's guaranteed that the issue is being boosted by the opposition, and probably foreign interests. Who wouldn't take advantage of the seed of doubt?

You're right, I'm not a Democrat. I'm a socialist and anti-fascist. My interest right now is seeing the fascist lose. I don't see a path for Biden to win.

Biden shouldn't have run again. The Dems should have primaried him. If they had, all of this would have been apparent long ago, but instead his aids have tightly controlled his media appearances for months to hide his cognitive decline from everyone except those playing close attention.

It only gets worse for Biden from here. He is at both his floor and ceiling, he has the "vote blue no matter who" and that's it.

There is definitely risk in running Kamala or someone else at the top of the ticket. They might lose anyways. But any other Dem would start approximately at Biden's spot in the polls and then have numerous paths to get where we need to beat Trump.

In the US there seem to be only two relevant parties: the "non-Democrats", and the "non-Republicans".

Kinda sounds like an Autocratic Monarchy would keep both sides happy, doesn't it? 🤦
