Against Biden: “He’s old as fuck and you’re in denial.”
For Biden: “I’m aware he’s old as fuck and I think you haven’t fully considered the legal, financial, and political ramifications of him dropping out at this stage in the race.”
Ad nauseam, forever. None of us know what’s going on. The reporting has been awful and full of motivated framing and anonymous sources. Half of it is the typical “Democrats in disarray,” which is such a beloved media topic that there’s been memes about it since before the internet. It’s ok to just not know when you aren’t privy to solid information.
I would say the argument against Biden is that he will lose. If he came off the debate and turned in performance after performance like the State of the Union, this would have gone away. Instead, he did some teleprompter speeches, an interview, and a press conference that were passable at best. I think if we stick with him, he’ll keep sounding borderline senile for the next two months, the questions will die down but not go away, and then he’ll probably get curb-stomped again in the September debate.
In my opinion, that press conference and the UN meeting killed the hope in my mind. How can we back a president that in the same day calls his political opponent his Vice President and then also introduces Zelensky as his wartime opponent on stage at the UN.
There’s just no hope left for him. If they don’t swap him out, we lose. It’s as simple as that in my mind. The polls look awful so to run him you’d have to assume he won’t slip up like that again. Why would you?
To me it just looks like their stalling. Like an early 90s PC that made that screeching noise whenever it connects to your modem. They know Biden old, it’s too late to prep a replacement, let’s waste time repeating that so there’s even less time to find a replacement. This feels almost like a republican move of placating and dragging things out because a decision was made as a party and they don’t really wanna backtrack on it but they know not even appearing to acknowledge it would make the party even less popular. I don’t really know what to say here, I’m all for just nominating AOC and telling everyone above 50 or unwilling to let a women or someone who isn’t a dinosaur run for the presidency to f*ck right off. The reason we need parties and can’t have representives who are actually popular with the populace is because our political institutions are built on a lack of proportional representation and no one in a position to actually wants to change that.
I feel like this conversation is basically:

I’ll back Biden’s rotting corpse over Trump
I mean I will too, but there are a lot of stupid people in this country who won’t.
