    I am. He should step down. He no longer has what it takes to be president.

      Came here for this. I want him out. Who the fuck has jet lag for two weeks? Give us some Kamala to get excited about. Roe is on the ballot this November. Let’s get behind someone who can press to the win on that.

        If only we were large enough donors for the DNC to care what we think.

        I’ll vote for whomever is not Trump. Period. If it’s Biden, fine. Someone else? Fine too.

        … like how they switched out the incumbent in 68 and beat Nixon ?

        In fact, switching the incumbent has been a sure way to lose. What’s your angle?

          Was 68 the last time an incumbent was switched out? Because as conflicted as I am about wanting Biden to give way for a candidate who is physically capable of campaigning vs being concerned about the ability to find someone with a better probability of victory than him, I don’t find the conventional political wisdom of 1968 a very convincing argument in today’s media and political landscape
