Aren’t the same people freaking out about Biden the ones perfectly happy to weekend-at-Bernie’s Feinstein — or play along with that — as long as they could?
This is a genuine question; I don’t know.
Oh yes, definitely.
Eh. I’m not freaking out about Biden; I am freaking out about the press, the pundits, the donors, and especially the campaign.
This seems to me to be the You Have One Job of a campaign and that they can’t manage it scares me. It’s not a surprise!
Right. And folks can (and plainly do) have lots of opinions on what to do now, but the overriding concern here, and in the D party apparatus isn't "will Biden be ok in the Oval Office" but "is his campaign going to get him there" and if not, can we fix it, and can someone else fix it, in that order
I didn’t much like Biden and never liked the primary system. I thought he was too old in 2020! But the time to fix it was before the primaries. I don’t have the impression that he’s changed much, only the world, both in very predictable ways.
Also “we f’ing told you running this guy again was a huge risk when he set himself up perfectly to be a gracious one term president and now we are working through some very understandable rage at the dem party leadership”
Sure, replacing Biden will work, because it'll be a completely different media covering a completely different campaign run by completely different people!

Retreat, give in, never fight back, apparently, is the Democratic party creed.
The campaign and his team, they could perfectly well run a “Biden is the Roosevelt of our time and the elderly respected statesman we need in these dire times, don’t worry about his health and age, he has the best team and VP behind him” campaign.
