    And…the rest of us have to pay the price of his hubris. Just like we’re paying the price for Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s hubris. And Feinstein’s hubris. And Hillary’s hubris.

    The Republicans are pure, self-interested evil. But, all of consequences of their awfulness is actively fueled by the Democratic Party’s unwillingness to mount a meaningful opposition.

    The only silver lining to Biden’s pathetic display yesterday, is the prospect that this moment may represent the last few stammering gasps of boomer domination in the US. Thanks for the music and the computers, now get the fuck out of the way so younger people can start cleaning up the mess you made.

        This is the actual problem. Boomer voters (who are pathologically trapped in adolescence; look at how they projected views of eternal childhood onto Millennials) would only feel safe with the last of the ancient preceeding generation. “Save us elder daddies, we have no minds to think but can’t trust the ‘children’ younger than us to know anything!”

    Trump is three years younger than Biden. We only talk about Biden’s age because he just looks older. They both have mental problems.

    Okay, so he’s still able to read off a teleprompter and seem “forceful”. Now put him in front of the editorial board of any major newspaper for an hour long interview.

    At least the trump campaign has to come up with some new tactics, since Biden obviously wasn’t on uppers during the campaign as they suggested, and the “Biden is old” is pretty much effect less these days with trumps mental decline on display.

    The Biden we saw at the debate is the Biden at the dnc has known all along, yet they pushed him as the incumbent, refusing to primary him and telling the public this is your only choice because they knew that voters would come out and vote for him regardless of what he has done or who he is or what he is incapable of doing. This is the exact same Biden that leftist told liberals back in 2019 2020 of who Biden actually is and they kept writing it off as a stutter

    Setting aside November for a moment, shouldn’t we be having a discussion about whether Biden is fit to be president right now? It can’t be good for all of the nation’s enemies to know the US of A has an addled president, can it?

    He should be stepping aside and letting Kamala take over.

    Let Democrats see how President Harris fares for a couple months before the Democrat convention has to decide in August whether to run a different candidate or stick with Harris.

    That way, if they do decide to run with Harris, she’ll be entering the election as an incumbent.

    Biden was tired from engagements, a sore throat and jet lag. What could go wrong? This was a made-to-order event for trolls.

      Regardless, he’s toast. This will dog him the entire campaign. The media will harp on every slip, every old age shuffle, every slack jawed stare. He needs to drop out

            Oops /s on my last sentence, I understand you are probably not, just that you are not acting in a manner that best fits the scenario where trump loses.

        He’s definitely not “toast”. One stupid debate will not affect anyone’s decision to back him. Obama had a bad first debate as well when he ran in his very first electoral race, and he still won. Twice, to be exact. None of these things you mention are going to be a deal breaker for people who know what’s at stake, and each day, that number grows. Joe isn’t perfect, but he is light years better than another Trump term.

          The age thing was already a concern. Now it’s a panic. Even top Dems are avoiding question of whether to remove Biden.

          The debate was a catastrophe. It really couldn’t have gone much worse.

              Well yeah it’s a catastrophe. You can’t avoid it. Realistically, Trump was already edging out Biden in the polls, including the 6 swing states.

              They need a new candidate immediately… but nobody else who has the party blessing (newman, kamala, Michelle, etc) polls as good against Trump as Biden.

              So what do they do? Damned if you do, damned if you dont. They are probably goinf to lose the election.

          He is light years better than Trump. A tapeworm is lightyears better than Trump. Question is, what do undecideds think? I only hope Trumps lying and evasion turn off swing voters, but it hasn’t so far
