Biden's age and poor debate showing is obviously a legit story, but what we've seen over the last week is a hysterical feeding frenzy aimed at some combination of self-vindication, settling old scores, claiming a scalp, and the desire of some in the media to have Trump back in power. (1/2)
And the ghouls feeding at the frenzy can't get enough of this. NPR's "All Things Considered" was exceptionally unbalanced today and I can't remember having ever said that in decades of listening.
My response to all the “Biden MUST step down due to his terrible debate performance” people is “You have already demanded Trump step down for the same reason, right? No? The GTFO.”
The story needs to be Trump is a rapist and a felon whose corruption knows no bounds
Joe Biden is old- so fucking what, he can still run the country and we have a succession plan
Nature of the business. If a sports team played like little kids in a world championship there would be a feeding frenzy. Unless Biden comes back and hits it out of the park it's over. No one can look at that and say this guy should be president until 2029. Meanwhile… www.youtube.com/watch?v=fliM...
It's absolutely insane to me that you can't even entertain the possibility that some people want very much to beat Trump and were convinced by the debate that Biden is not up to the task
This election is about passing the torch of democracy. Kamala Harris is our future president. Time to treat her as such. Biden says he's running til the end, but clearly, it's soon. Biden/Harris, and announce Kamalas eventual VP. Some less older confident white man.
I know this is a sincere belief and you are well-intentioned, but I really dislike this framing. It doesn’t leave any place for people like me who desperately want Biden to step aside because I’m terrified of another Trump term.
The Democrats really, really need to start considering how they're going to create a favorable press instead of relying on these human lizards with tape recorders to continue to harass them for sub-TMZ tier gossip and naval gazing. They're fucking awful, pointless people.
The double standard is unfortunate. The real story here is how everyone is glossing over the frankly terrible debate by Donald Trump as well. Just because this is par on course for his outings, it shouldn’t be accepted.
If Biden can't campaign he should consider passing the torch, but the elite press (and especially the NYT) is desperately trying to will this into existence. And it's really gross. (2/2)
I think the answer for the next debate Biden's response to everything is: "I can respond to every lie he utters but his website says he's going to do _____ which is bad for ______"
