Top Democrats are privately urging President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, fearing his presence at the top of the ticket could harm down-ballot candidates.
Exactly, I said Biden was too old immediately when he announced he would run again. That was true then, it was true during the primaries and it’s true now IMO.
But he did win the primaries, and nothing that wasn’t 100% foreseeable has changed since then regarding Biden’s age. Forcing a replacement now is undemocratic.
Democrats are idiots for putting themselves in this situation.
I have my fingers crossed for USA, but my hopes are not high right now.
We didn’t have a real primary - I can’t believe I still see people supporting the idea that we did.
When there’s a sitting president it’s tradition for nobody serious to run against them for bullshit unity reasons - Biden could have encouraged competition but he chose to lock it down and avoid any real contest.
Like who, they all better take responsibility if they cost us our nation

True, but that’s the process that’s SUPPOSED to democratically elect a candidate. Now it’s too late for that.
Yeah, regardless, we must unify behind the nominee but he has the best chance of beating Trump and when he does THEN could step down.
