    He needs to withdraw. He has to. The man looks like he’s dying. It’s time to stop playing pretend. This is fucking stupid. He’s literally not physically capable of being president. He doesn’t just have a raspy voice, he rambles incoherently, he can barely seem to register what’s going on at any moment. He nods off in public. He’s ancient. He should be no where near a political office.

    If he runs he’s handing Trump the presidency. And I don’t even fully believe he cares. If he cared he would never have run in the first place. He also chose to hammer home on his unending support for Israeli colonialism and crimes against humanity. Just to further aleniate the progressives and moderates who want him to stand up for human rights.

    I have no faith in him to drive a car let alone handle the political office of the presidency. He could be a literal corpse and he’d still get my vote over Trump. But you’re asking people to vote for someone who is openly incapable of doing the job he’s campaigning for. He HAS to step down. He CANNOT defeat fascism. He is not capable of it and he is so chronically neoliberal that he cannot even create a strong opposition to fascism.

    We’re all freaking the fuck out because this is the worst scenario. The one we ALL SAID WAS COMING. We were all told not to talk about how old he is Trump is old too and all that. And Trump absolutely is old but he’s a fascist for one and fascists vote differently than anyone else does. But much worse he always rambles incoherently so standing next to Joe he looked as he normally does and Biden was the one who had visibly aged.

    Enough is enough is enough he has to go. Where is the real political effort to have him withdraw. The clock is ticking until November and he HAS TO GO.

      People acting as if Trump or Biden would run the show. Biden has a cabinet of people and appointees who are putting in place their policies put together by experts. His policies have mostly benefitted the lower and middle class with a focus on bringing manufacturing back to America and improving infrastructure.

      Then theres Trump and Project 2025.

      I think I’ll be voting Blue, regardless of who is running.

          Honestly don’t care what its called or whose making the policies. If an administration is taking concrete steps to address wealth inequality I am going to vote for them.

        So in other words, you think the president should be a puppet? Because that is the implication of responding to “dude is unfit for the office” with “well he is not running it anyways, he’s just the face.”

        I don’t know of a single country run by a puppet that was run well. What you get instead is all the worst people to take advantage to put their personal benefit in, since it’s not their face associated with it.

        Also internationally it is very very very bad to be run by a puppet. Nobody will take the puppet serious and everyone will again seek to put their own interests in. We already see that with Israel playing Biden like a fiddle.

          No, I think their point is that most of the “work” goes to the cabinet - you don’t have the president out there doing the legwork for everything.

      he can barely seem to register what’s going on at any moment.

      Saying this out loud hurts my heart. My father has dementia. He was diagnosed 3 years ago. I hope his progress stops or stays at slow pace.

      During the debate, I saw a lot of similarities between my father and president Biden when it comes to their reactions to questions asked.
