In Opinion The greatest public service President Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not run for re-election, the editorial board writes after Thursday's presidential debate.

Opinion | To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Racewww.nytimes.com The president’s inadequate performance in the debate made it clear he is not the man he was four years ago.

What about the convicted felon, folks? The noted fraud? The rapist? The classified document thief? Should he be standing down? No? Illuminating. Not at all good, but illuminating.

Shouldn't the guy who bragged about sneaking into teenage girls rooms while they were undressing step down? Or does it not matter to the GOP that he raped a little girl with his pal Jeffrey Epstein?

It does not.

Same as it ever was…

He absolutely should, but someone replacing Biden might actually help the Dems, whereas the right is so deeply lost to evil that anyone but Trump somehow stands less of a chance

He really should, but does anyone have any fate on the Republicans ever doing the right thing?

You expect more from the War Crimes paper?

We no longer expect our opponents to do the right thing and we have stopped even asking.

He's going to fucking win again, isn't he? He's going to get away with everything like he always does and win again, isn't he?

If you are talking about Biden, let's hope so. We don't want a doddery man, with memory problems, living in Putin's pocket, who is a convicted felon, pathological liar, sexual predator, greedy, corrupt and incompetent business man who steals classified documents to win.

That would be a disaster.

There are many things with the United States of America but I would not wish that on them.

Yeah no, I was talking about Trump. If he gets in again, there's no hope.

People all around the globe are watching bc it will impact their lives too, but they have no say in the matter.

perhaps I missed the recent New York Times editorial calling for Donald Trump to step aside for the good of the country in the wake of his 34 felony convictions. could you share a link here please?

I would also like to see this as I’m sure it exists

in the meantime bsky.app/profile/brun...

For the good of the country, Donald Trump should drop out the 2024 presidential race.

Donald Trump Should Drop Out | Washington Monthlywashingtonmonthly.com We’ve had months of calls for Joe Biden to drop out because of middling poll numbers. The grounds for a Trump withdrawal are far firmer.

Same link: "Trump’s own performance ought to be regarded as disqualifying. He lied brazenly and repeatedly about his own actions, his record as president and his opponent. He described plans that would harm the American economy, undermine civil liberties and fray...relationships with other nations"

"He refused to promise that he would accept defeat, returning instead to the kind of rhetoric that incited the Jan. 6 attack on Congress."

He’s not the President of the United States man. Step aside from what?

Do….do you think a different Republican nominee would not want to gut all federal regulation? Is your position that the Times should be demanding a better advocate for mass detention and executions? Is Democracy on the line? Is this the most important election in history? What do you want man?

This is the same gaslighting Dems have received from media for years : behave better, be different, be more moderate and appealing to Rs and independents instead of your own base. No republican is ever told to be more liberal.

Democracy also certainly would not be on the line with any other Republican candidate, no. That threat is really Trump only.

This is an astounding misunderstanding of Trump. He is an opportunistic celebrity. He believes in nothing. There are absolutely ‘true believers’ cultivated now in HIS party that would take the steps he was unwilling to take.

He and they need to be defeated. Humiliating him would go a long way to doing that. Do you trust Joe Biden to do that?

From being the nominee. Don’t be disingenuous.

They aren't asking Biden to resign, just to withdraw from the race. The parallel with Trump could not be more exact.

Biden would probably have to resign at this point to make a succession credible. Either Kamala or someone she blesses as President.

this is exceedingly dumb i’m sorry

That's even less likely than Biden withdrawing

Lolz what planet do you live on?

Not one where he will do that. But he absolutely should.

step aside from *the precise thing the Times is asking Biden to step aside from* man

I understand what the column posits. It’s ludicrous. He isn’t POTUS and also a private candidate to become POTUS. He’s the fucking President. In your brain, is the concern a bad debate performance and not cognition generally? It’s definitely the latter for me.

I'm glad you're being honest about your own cognition concerns.

Step aside from the presidential race, just like the NYT editorial is asking of Biden.

Being the Republican nominee for President. You know "if nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve" Are you actually that dense?

Magic 8 ball says ‘yes’

Everyone here understood the comment except you.

Hurr. Durr.

From running for president, hope this helps

The doorway he’s blocking to a future. There will be no future otherwise

Who is replacing Trump when he relents to the demands of the Times Editorial Board? Will Joe be a better candidate against that person or do you think he will just run unopposed?

Who’ve they got? Ted Cruz? When did the Times suggest DJT remove himself from the ballot? Is the Times saying they should both drop out?

I don’t know man. I didn’t create this counterfactual! Who’s above Trump that can even replace him? No idea! I would bet my life on the fact that if Obama called on Joe to resign and make way, it would happen. Within days.

It's not rocket science. Travel more often & learn that such characters have no business being/running for POTUS—even if they fooled a pool of ignoramuses, having committed Election Interference & Fraud while leveraging Cambridge Analytica & Russian election interference ops to get into WH before.▼

A convicted felon, fraudster, rapist, NATO & national security threat is running for POTUS in pre-WW 2024 with ZERO fact-checking during a Presidential Debate. Who, at the New York Times, is going to ask the orange crook to get lost???▼

read the headline again, man
