He sounds and looks like shit. When he takes questions - he’s an angry old man. A bad look.

    That thread is delusional. Even if this is a hit job like they’re suggesting in it, they’re not recognizing how effective of one it is. The Dems are completely sunk at this point.

    Biden, even if it is just a stutter, is unable to defend against these allegations because every time he tries, it just seems to dig the hole deeper.

    He will get bullied hard if there is going to be a presidential debate, people will laugh at him.

    They need to ditch him lol, but they’re not going to

      The problem is who they’d ditch him for. Kamala is even less popular. Mayo Pete got like 0% of the black vote in the primaries IIRC. The only other obvious option would be hillary and it’d be comical to run her against Trump again.

      I kind of doubt ditching him would even matter at this point. The damage is done. I think too many people are going to drift to Trump.

      They also can’t do what they did in 2020 and let him disappear for months at a time. He’s actually in office. He can’t go away for the summer while they campaign and come back with surgical scars in September.

      They could have allowed for a primary to take place, done debates, embraced democracy, and let any of the strong primary challengers take their rightful nomination.

      But NO, Biden’s EGO told him that good presidents get 2 terms, and that’s all he gives a damn about at this point. We’re doomed.

      Biden is literally the only Dem capable of losing to Trump, and they’re forcing him upon us. Fuck the DNC for enabling this mess, and fuck their corporate donors for pressuring them to do so.
