As most of the media — and the country — is laser focused on the president’s poor debate performance, a handful of outspoken analysts have wondered: Where is the same scrutiny of Donald Trump? Kelly Rissman reports
Because when the nation’s facing its greatest threat since at least the Civil War, your chosen defender should be a beacon of hope, not a quivering old man.
I love Joe Biden. He’s done great things for this country, and his administration has been excellent overall, despite being very bad at communicating it’s successes. But it’s time for him to rest on his laurels.
Senility is coming fast, and the Republicans are absolutely murdering him on this point. It’s by far the strongest play they have, and by choosing a different candidate that’s not in their 9th decade of life we can gut that argument.
RBG refused to retire and as a consequence we have the worst Court in the history of the country. Biden is refusing to retire, and as a consequence we’re likely to lose our Democracy entirely in 5 months.
It’s not too late to change candidates. It’s only in the last few decades that the candidate was known ahead of the convention. We can and should pick someone younger that can turn the narrative of “crazy old man” around on the also-ancient Donald Trump.
Everyone I talk to laments about how terrible both candidates are. How about we swap Joe out for someone who is at least mediocre?
The strongest argument I’ve heard against changing is that Ohio requires a candidate to be registered before the Democratic convention. Fucking Ohio. Who let them be a swing state?
Ohio isn’t in play. But also this isn’t new. They’ve had that deadline for a while. The DNC set it up this way knowing it would be one more barrier to switching candidates.
That’s not the concept the average American has of the President though and this isn’t 1984. We’re not going to just elect Bush after a caretaker term for Reagan. We need someone who has the energy to do all the normal president stuff and fight on the home front. Because we’re fast approaching the point of a Christian insurgency.

That makes the convention irrelevant. The DNC hurt itself in confusion.
My beacon of hope is the people oldman Joe surrounds himself with and his party. Putting it on one guy is absurd. The RGB comparison is also bad.
Admirable position, unfortunately 80 million other voters don’t have this nuanced position… and we need them to win.

Yeah but it’s not about you. Other people exist and you won’t change their mind through any amount of talk.
