It wasn't a "bad debate;" it was a public display of cognitive decline so severe that he's incapable of overcoming it even when everything is on the line.
Mat, losing a step doesn’t mean you can’t function. There is decline, a bad night, and decline—and a vice president and an administration who genuinely care about democracy and every day Americans. Slower and moral is a fine choice given the alternative. I’m rooting hard for the turtle in this race.
I agree with all that, totally. But I don't think he has it in him to come from behind and win independents. There's no safe or guaranteed path, but personally I think Harris slightly improves the chances of defeating the neo-fascists.
I love Harris. (Pete as VP.) I’m pushing/voting Biden with the expectation she’ll take over in a year or so. I believe America is ready for and needs a black woman president, but I don’t trust America to vote for what it needs.
