I’d take him over Trump in a heartbeat, and intend to vote for him if he’s the candidate. That said, there’s nothing that can make these concerns about his mental capability go away, and he’s already behind in the polling. They either need to come up with a plan to turn it around, or he should step aside.
This late, I fear massive fracturing. This is exactly what the Republicans want. I’m voting for anyone who is opposing Project 2025 in the end. Its just the worst time to not have an inspiring incumbent. Especially one who is intent on letting this all play out.
This is more time than most countries campaign seasons and the overwhelming rallying cry hasn’t be “Biden”, it’s been “stop Trump”. Either Harris will take over and there will be no meaningful fracturing because a vote for Biden is already effectively a vote for President Harris or we’ll have a rush primary among mostly moderate options, which will limit how riled up people can get about any of them. I’m not particularly excited by any of the proposed options, but even the one I like the least will make me much more confident than keeping with Biden and waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It’s not ideal, but Joe Biden will lose, so not ideal is a step in the right direction.
Its just a terrible time for the right to have a cult leader and it feels like we have nobody. I dont think the polls mean as much. But I remember them from 2020 and Biden was not trailing this hard. So you’re probably right but its still not good and still could cause fracturing in a time when we basically need our own demagogue.
If this is what the Republicans want, why have they already filed a lawsuit to prevent the Democrats from giving the nomination to another candidate?
So that they can dominate their news outlets with it 24/7 and continue to inject division and chaos anywhere possible. Either way it’s a win for them if they control the news cycle.
Yeah republicans have clearly shown exactly who they are and what they care about and it’s nothing good for 99% of people living in America.
Americans have fought and died for laws and protections that republicans are trying to strip from us daily and there is no reason for the evil they bring us except to make them wealthier.
Bunch of regressive assholes with no moral code ruining the fabric of American democracy for profit/religion.
