They’re already moving on to the “cover up” stage of this “scandal.” If Democrats had a single functioning testicle between them, every question about Biden’s fitness should be met with “your focus is on a bad debate while the other candidate is promising to jail and kill his political opponents.”
There’s value to a subscription, but I just couldn’t get past the irredeemable awfulness of the political coverage. I want good media, and the Times does some things well, but they are as complicit in the degradation of our politics as Fox.
Meaning no disrespect to Joe, but I just want to get him over the finish line. Lost in all this, and another damning indictment of the media, is that they have decided that Biden’s possible cognitive problems are far, far worse than Trump’s already-established ethical unfitness.
A lot of other people disagree with you. Personally, I would like to think that Biden and his inner circle know he has to step down if he can’t campaign, and that they are making the decision to stay in because they are confident he can.
How exactly I’d Biden supposed to show the debate was an aberration? Stand up and recite Remembrance of Things Past (in the original French) from memory for fifteen hours straight?
Huh. Biden’s support has dropped ever since every major media outlet in America decided to run nothing but stories declaring him unfit for the presidency and screaming at him to drop out of the race?
Weird.
I’m concerned with which path is the most likely to get us to victory in November. And I think Biden avoiding any more missteps is the best way to that. The media will tear Democrats and the new nominee apart for the next four months, and barely mention the threat Trump poses at all.
I’m certain he should unless he and his inner circle know that there will be more Thursday nights during the campaign. But there is no perfect replacement, and the Democrats bowing to the whims of the New York Times makes me absolutely livid.
Every question about Biden should be turned back to Trump, who is under any rational analysis a hundred times more unfit for the presidency than Biden.
I don’t have anything against Harris, but I am I the only that remembers she was a pathetic joke in the primaries? Has she done anything since that makes her a much more compelling candidate?
Sorry, but the absolute glee with which this feeding frenzy has been conducted puts the lie to your statement.
As does the fact that you somehow find a growing certainty that the American Experiment will end in four months less interesting than the fact that an old man is old.
Hillary lost because of, respectively, the media, James Comey, Wikileaks and the BernieBros. Just because you reluctantly pulled the lever for her after shitting on her for nine months doesn’t change what happened.
I never said half of the America electorate was sane. But we still need to keep making the case to at least try to pluck the persuadables out of the baskets of deplorables.
