    If the party wanted someone diffrent they should have got someone else during the primaries. We all knew he was too old the first time. But, shockingly, he’s done a pretty alright job.

    But there was still the chance to pass the torch earlier and it passed. If we fold now we old give into pressure by the Republicans. He’s doing a solid enough job. Replacing him now causes discourse withing the party and fuel their parties chants of how bad we are.

    We know they already think he’s incompetent. Nothing will change that. They said he was old from the beginning. We know he’s old too. But he’s doing good.

      Dude, there wasn’t any other option in the primaries. No one else was running. Seriously running against an incumbent in your own party is basically political suicide.

      Palmer was the closest and I didn’t even know his name until after our primary. It was only a good move for him because he was already an outsider who just wanted some publicity.

      Basically, you either voted for Biden because iTs ThE rIgHt ThInG tO dO, or because He’S tHe iNcUmBeNt…

      …or you desperately, nihilistically voted uncommitted.

        Nobody ran in the primaries is what I was saying, so don’t throw that point back in my face, bro.

        Nobody ran, although literally everyone was already aware how old he was. He already was stuttering and making slight mistake. What happened at he debate wasn’t news to anyone. But had someone stood up then an took the chance we could have rallied then. But they didn’t. Because although he made a couple mistakes his actions spoke for themselves.

        Nobody seriously is trying to take his position now either. Because it’s dumb. It’s just a bunch of rich fucks and loud mouths screaming like it’s gunna make it better.

        Also, at this point, I did vote for Biden because of everything he’s gotten done. I’ve been bashing him the whole time but I’ll admit he’s gotten shit done.

          Nobody ran in the primaries

          That’s because the party elite told all the strong candidates to stay out and “wait their turn.”

                So we’re supposed to have faith and confidence in anyone who was too afraid to take on an old man in the primary? If someone really wanted change they would have ran against him damn the consequences

      The Democrats ratfucked the primaries. They even rearranged the states to make it easier for Biden!
