    Why does it matter if he’s up for the job or not

    we’re supposed to be electing people to govern well so the country prospers. instead we’ve been electing lesser-evils for so long that the country is garbage now

      I understand. What I’m saying is that in this situation neither of them are up for the job, but the alternative is openly hostile to everything this country stands for. The decision given our options is clear to me.

        There isn’t just one alternative. The dems could put up a new nominee. They have 4 months. It’s plenty of time. Biden doesn’t even have to step aside.

        The decision given our options is clear to me.

        Here are some of the names I’ve heard floated so far: Harris, Buttigieg, Whitmer, Newsome. Are you telling me that Biden is a better choice than any of these? Especially when polling shows some of them beating Trump by 2-3%. (While Biden is currently losing by 1%.)
