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.

this "one terrible debate performance" was the realization of concerns that had been around for years over something which typically does not get better with time
What I see in front of my face is hysteria. The problems with Biden appear almost entirely aesthetic. No stories of significant missteps in dealing with policy questions or world leaders, only anecdotes about brief memory lapses or verbal fumbles. Still way less demented than his opponent.
Nobody is saying he had a bad debate performance. But if the behavior he displayed was routine, we would have heard about it ling before the debate.
But, you’re not really arguing in good faith here. I looked at your timeline.
I'm not a Biden Stan so I say this completely without agenda:
I agree he definitely doesn't have dementia. I was a CNA for 8 years and I've seen dementia. People saying that need to go volunteer for an elder care facility. He's just showing signs of his age because he's old.
you dont need a diagnosis for dementia to be sundowning
and anyone who has been around old folks can see that he is clearly sundowning. waxy skin and eyes, difficulty engaging in conversation for an extended period, reverting back to a childhood speech impediment. the sun is setting on bidens time.
your mean-spirited opinion aside, can you point to any lie i told or are you just bullshitting as a coping mechanism?
because if it’s the latter, just calling people you disagree with “liars” is a pretty bad faith way to engage in conversation.
where is the lie? if i have been misinformed then i would appreciate you educating me about the misinformation. is that not what some old folks do as they sundown?
