I am so disgusted with what appears to be a coordinated media operation to convince people to dump Biden. And so many bedwetters panicking instead of working electing Democrats at all levels.

And they're saying it on Facebook, which is the new New York Times where they are just as siloed as the New York Times Editorial Board members. But hey, Biden's too old. Who would replace him? Who is polling higher? There are never answers, only groupthink bedwetting. File under: quelle surprise

It's "but her emails" again - the classic move of taking your biggest weakness - Trump can't speak at all - and attacking your opponent on it so they don't focus on you

And yet progressives who have criticized Biden & his pro-genocide stance in Gaza still stand behind him because they know what's existentially at stake. Rather than a bourgeoisie that can't be bothered to not enable a fascist take over they believe won't effect them.

The issue isn't much with people who criticize Biden, but with people who promote anti-electoralism (which causes Republican victories), and there are lots and lots of them in leftist spaces.

Presumably these friends get news from places like NYT, CNN, MSNBC? This is what happens when lib talking heads decide to attack their own guy and make that the post-debate narrative instead of doing their job and attacking the other side.

Seems to be white people who read MSM who are panicking. Incumbancy is huge political advantage. They need to GTFU & get involved in grassroots efforts to drive turnout. Biden was fine later at an after party& the next day at an NC rally. See the vids. Debate #2 is in Sept & 130+ days til we vote.

And if he regularly (dys)functions like he did in the first 30 minutes of the debate (I don’t think he does but I could be wrong!), the issue isn’t if he should be the candidate, but if the 25th amendment should be invoked—and none of them are saying *that*.

I’m one of them. I believed Biden when he said he was up for the job. He took an early date to prove it, and instead proved the opposite definitively. I’m encouraged our side can have so many open to changing their mind unlike Republicans.

This circular firing squad is pointless. The only thing that matters is defeating Trump. If Biden can do that, then Biden it is. If Biden cannot defeat him, the party needs to do something else. But don’t candy coat it, Thur wasn’t just a bad debate. Biden’s performance was an unmitigated disaster.

And the thing is, it's a safe assumption they're going to vote for him anyway, so it's even weirder. But then again a Trump win is terrifying and fear is the mind killer...

The only explanation that I can muster is that the libs legitimately believed that the average voter hadn't yet noticed his cognitive decline and they were mad at anyone to the left of Donald Trump for pointing it out. But now their deep, dark secret has been exposed, so it is time to panic.

Liberals are all sheep. They believe what the corporate media tells them. As soon as the message coming from the media changes, they immediately pivot. All they do is repeat standard issue talking points because they have almost no capacity for critical thinking, just like conservatives.
