      It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.

        Im not going to get into defending Biden’s record, but being president and campaigning for president are two totally separate skills. I have no problem recognizing that he’s simply unable to do both simultaneously now. I don’t think POTUS needs to be able to both, they do need to handle the duties of the presidency though.

            I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to say that Biden is incapable of serving as president if he’s unable to campaign for reelection.

        Running for president has almost literally nothing to do with actually being president in the way our system runs. It’s honestly kind of awful.

        Plus, you know, he CAN run for president, he just decided Harris can do it better, which she obviously is.

          Plus you also can recognize that you are capable of doing a job for another year or two but not sign up for another 4 year contract after that. It’s not like anyone wants to sign up for a contract knowing they may have to step down before the term is up.

        He literally ran for president, and won. He’s not what the electorate wants moving forward, but that doesn’t make him incapable. He’s a career politician with decades of experience

        Running means doing it for four years.

            Yes, and?

            The comment was implying that if he isn’t running he isn’t capable of being president now while ignoring the fact that running now means doing the job for 4 more years.

            edit: Just read the rest of the replies to Jay’s comment. Holy Christ, you’re insufferable.

        I don’t know about this. If Biden resigns now that means Harris would be president? Does that mean she won’t be eligible to run for reelection in 2028?

        Might be worth bearing another four months under Biden for Harris to have the incumbent advantage in 2028. Hopefully he’s delegating as much as possible to the VP and the cabinet and his staff anyways.

        Downvoted. Biden’s sharp as a Ginsu. I’m sure glad he’s our leader right now, the commander of the largest military on earth, and the ultimate ruler of a wild nuclear vassal state.

              Yeah, thank fuck he beat Trump or both Ukraine and Gaza would already be gone by now. I really wish he would stop selling weapons to Israel though.
