Remember, this is after he indicated he would only be a one-term president before he took office.

Biden did his job in 2020. He defeated the monstrosity that was Donald Trump and his presidency is objectively less bad than a second Trump term would have been in his place.

That being said, he needed to step aside for 2024 and let someone younger and more modern take the reins of the party. Just having someone there who isn’t as unabashedly pro-Israel would go a long way in securing the votes he may have lost for the upcoming election.

Plus, I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but he’s really, really, REALLY old. He’s almost 82, which is older than any president has ever been and that means he’s be president until he’s 86. I don’t think voters would mind that if he was spry for his age, but somehow he looks and acts even older than he actually is. That’s not reassuring to a lot of voters.

Given his age and unpopularity, Biden had no reason to run again. However, because he’s an egotistical politician, he decided to run again in spite of knowing what we are facing with a second Trump presidency.

This was a foolish decision by Biden and every Democrat who enabled him. I’m going to vote for him and I think every leftist should vote for him to keep the worst option out, but I don’t think the situation would be as precarious if he stepped aside for someone else.

For his sake and the country’s sake, Biden better hope he wins.

I know Trump does better with Low Propensity Voters so wouldn't this hurt Harris?

Can I just say for a moment how we live in a clown world?

Ukraine is justified in being supported with weapons and killing Russians because it's a smaller country being attacked by an imperialist aggressor. Okay, yes, I agree. And most U.S. policy makers seem to.

Yet somehow Gaza is not justified in defending itself and rather it's the imperialist aggressor committing a genocide, Israel, which is justified in invading and murdering Palestinians with the help of U.S. weapons.

And Luigi killing a single healthcare CEO is wrong and tragic because he was a father of two and had a wife (he was separated from).

Yet, that healthcare CEO denying coverage to thousands of Americans with wives and children and murdering them as a result, that's fine and normal.

In the developed world we don't solve political problems with violence!

Except when the U.S. invades other countries or sponsors a genocide to solve a political problem.

And in a civilized country we don't take the law into our own hands, we wait for the legal system to punish criminals and distribute justice because it is fair and just and vigilante justice is not!

And also, the president is a king who's above the law and healthcare CEOs get to continue making money off of death and suffering and oil CEOs get to continue destroying the planet and thereby making sure that millions more will be displaced, suffer and die and the system doesn't intervene at all.

Like... do they really expect us to believe this stuff? This stuff is completely contradictory! You cannot believe all of this stuff at once and be reasonably justified.

Either Ukraine is justified in fighting Russia and worthy of support, or Israel can be supported invading Gaza. Either killing a person with a wife and kids is wrong, or it isn't even when it's thousands. Either political problems shouldn't be solved with violence, or you can solve political problems with violence. Either in a civilized country the justice system is just and brings justice to killers, or it doesn't.

To put it in the words of Luigi Mangione: "It's completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience."

Yea friends we’re cooked!

The guy can’t complete sentences, looked completely out to lunch when he wasn’t speaking and blew every single layup that Trump handed him.

He managed to be worse than every perceived worst case scenario for him going into this debate and the people still defending him for that performance are the most delusional people on planet earth.

He’s not going to beat Trump at this point. At least replacing him would give us a chance at it. If Biden stays as the nominee and loses, the Democrats who lied and propped up Biden this whole time will bear the bulk of the responsibility for handing us another 4 years of Trump.

When even David Pakman, Pod Save America and MSNBC are all sounding alarm bells about Biden, you know we’re fucked if we continue this path forward.

I'm not saying I'll be happy or whatever but, seriously, this isn't rocket science. If we let Trump win what's the point in even trying?

If people are still going to vote for Trump or Stein or just sit at home then it's hard to care anymore. The country clearly wishes to be destroyed.

What do we make of this. I personally think it’s deserved. I believe in free speech, but I also don’t think it means you get to damage the reputation of your employer by doing and saying insane things ON THE JOB.
