It just feels really telling that the politicians with the most to lose from Biden losing aren’t calling for him to leave the race

a bag of potatoes wearing a candidate mask would ride "my opponent can't even get a liquor license in New Jersey" all the way to the White House. my cat, S'mores, who is absolutely not fit to govern, would run "my opponent can't get a liquor license in New Jersey" ads 24/7 on all three networks
