Joe being old and tired, and now that is all dead in the water.

Nope. Now it’s trump who’s old and tired. Kamala needs to go after trump and his crime family like she would other criminals and prosecute them in the press. She is a former prosecutor, after all.

I was very against Biden dropping out, but i think this is a pretty good point. I think it is still very risky for her to run due to race and sex discrimination, but it might not be a predetermined loss at least.

I think that’s the invigorating thing as a Democrat. I was feeling beat down and tired, we knew what the outcome was more or less, a razer thin margin on either side. This completely changes that equation, and it means both sides will have to really amp up their game. Democrats just proved they’re willing to throw the hail Mary and that makes me really excited!

Honestly yes, not that the hard right will see that, but yes she has the huge opportunity to say something like “it’s time we put power in the hands of people who will see the effects of it” so to speak. If she used rhetoric similar to that it could be impactful for getting young people to actually vote like they did for Obama

Biden has an opportunity to make speech saying something like, “I’ve decided I am too old for the job, as anybody over 70 should be. It is time for the oldest generation to step aside for their children and grandchildren. It is they who know what the world needs, because they are the ones who will live in that world. The younger generations should no longer elect anyone who is out of touch with their needs.”

That’s what he should do, now let’s get back to reality, that’s never going to happen. That would require the geriatric fucks who put us into this godforsaken mess in the first place to admit that they just might have been, wrong and to give up their power to someone new. They’d rather die and leave the country in turmoil than do what’s right. And it’s across all three branches of government, it’s not anything exclusive to the Congress critters. Just look at how we got our current Republican controlled SCOTUS. These fuckers aren’t going to leave on their own, they need to be forced out.

… Now it’s trump who’s old and tired …

So it’s his turn to drop out of the race?

That’s certainly what US media should be focusing on, but probably won’t.

Yeah, all their shooting against Biden will now come back to haunt them. It’s not like Trump isn’t a senile old man. He’s just senile in different ways.

More malicious, incompetent, and openly hostile ways. He’s the elderly home resident who none of the nurses want to help because of what an awful person he is.

I’m hoping she sees a surge of support when she starts bitch slapping Trump around for being a treasonous felon
