    I’ve recently come to the conclusion Biden shouldn’t run again. There’s no two ways about it. Guy is too old. (Trump is too, but maggats won’t care.)

    If Biden left after one term, he would be remembered as a great president. If he loses to Trump, he will be that senile asshole who helped to destroy US democracy because he couldn’t see what everyone else could.

    There’s plenty of younger Democrats. Any one of them could campaign circles around Trump.

      Unfortunately, he decided to run whether or not we think he “should”. What are we supposed to do? We had better vote and not let apathy get the best of us.

        There’s still time for him to change his mind though. Everyone is pretending this is all set in stone. This fatalism is so weird.

          There’s technically still time, but many states have had primary elections already. We have no other way to give our voices to the selection process, so if the party chooses a new candidate now it would be quite undemocratic.
