    I’m not USian, but I’ve seen online Democrats complaining about Biden as often, if not more, than Republicans.

      Democrats defended him tooth and nail. They spit out venomous accusations at anyone critical of him. They buried their head in the sand over the last several years about his cognitive decline by demanding it was a speech impediment, which was NEVER present in any of his speeches prior to 2008

        ‘Democrats’ aren’t a monolith, there was a constant desire for change among many democratic supporters. I’m Canadian and even up here there was a desire to replace him with someone better.

          Speaking about wanting change and then still voting for them when the time came makes that speech irrelevant. If they never hold their politicians accountable things will never get better.

            I think you missed my country of origin there, bud.

            Also you’re just bait and switching here, your original point was that ‘the democrats’ fought for him tooth and nail, and yet the entire time people from all over the tent of the Left were demanding he be replaced and then… he was.

            You’re embarrassing yourself here, just take the L and focus back on using whataboutism anytime someone chooses to back a right-of-centre candidate over a fascist one.

              Where in that quote did I reference you or where you are located?

              Until the donor class said no more money Biden was insisting he was staying in the race. Money speaks, and we don’t have it.

        Biden stepped down, what do you want at this point? This article is about Trump’s mental decline, you know - the other senile old guy who is still running for president.

        Well, there are millions of them, so both things can be true. MY personal experience is seeing them criticizing more than defending.

          Criticizing is irrelevant when they won’t hold them accountable. For all intents Biden could have said ‘I could kill 30,000 Palestinian children and not lose a single voter.’

              If Biden stayed in the race those very same people that criticized him would have still voted for him. Meaning that criticism was performative.
