Sticking with Biden or running Harris would be *far* less risky than dedicating two of the next four months to Democrat infighting, followed by an unprecedented delegate voting process and dubious chances of even getting on the ballot. Knowing this shit is supposed to be these people's job
If you're so concerned about the stakes of this election you could just... spend the next four months writing about the stakes of this election. A constant drip of articles calling the Democratic nominee unfit is also not a great strategy for winning!
"They can't even pick a nominee who doesn't have dementia! His VP pick was so bad they skipped her and had en entire second primary. And we're supposed to trust these people to run the country?"

I actually think people are getting a bit over their skis on freaking out over Biden! We're talking about one terrible debate performance, something that can be turned around with a few good TV appearances. And bowing out could hurt Dem polling more than it helps.

i think what the debate did was validate what we all knew, biden is not well, and now there's no putting that toothpaste back in the tube. before a flub was just a flub, but now any flub will be met with unending questions about mental capacity and acuity.
Cool, now gon"uhm, actually that's a logical fallacy" to tens of millions of undecided voters in an attempt to get them to vote against their instincts. You think they'll listen to those instincts or an internet rando?
Actually, yes, they do. The majority of voters think Biden is not mentally fit to be president. Polling time and time again shows this. Most of them believe the same of Trump. Conservative media won't convince the undecided public that 50-something looking Kamala is senile in less than four months.
