    Trump is only 4 years younger than Biden. And way more mentally unstable.

    They’re both too fuckin old for the job, but I don’t see the Democrats replacing Biden and rebuilding their political race in 4 months. I also don’t see Trump stepping down any time soon, so as much as it sucks, these are the choices.

      If that’s your stance then you need to be 100% prepared for four more years of Donald Trump, and Republicans controlling all three branches of government indefinitely.

      Why? The convention is a month away. They could slow roll that Biden is considering stepping down, turn it into a media frenzy, starving Trump of attention. Then, a week before the convention Biden could announce that Kamala Harris is taking over the nomination. The convention could be a rallying point to solidify the nomination. Donors and delegates enthusiastically give their support.

      Kamala may not be the best candidate, but she will make Trump look weak. A black woman would drive Trump insane, exposing how vile he is.

      It could happen.

        No it could not. Swing voters are not voting for Kamala Harris. In a country where you start campaigning 2 years out for president 4 months is not enough.

        Biden has won the primaries, he’s not stepping down. This is what America wanted. We have to deal with it
