You really believe the Democrats thought that? even after the debate performance? They had to save face. From what I've heard, polling showed that he had no shot after the debate performance. Aging comes for all of us, it's not a character flaw. It's certainly possible he could be experiencing a steep decline in cognitive ability. Now Trump is the one that's going to have to watch all his lapses due to age.

The assassination has quickly been moved off of the news cycle. There are a large faction of voters that are "double haters". They'd rather sit out than vote for an 80-year-old man from either party. Adding Harris to the equation changes that. She'll have to perform though. I'll be interesting if Trump refuses to debate her.

To most people, yeah. If calling Obama black pisses you off so much, that says more about you than anyone else. My wife has hispanic heritage, though my kids look pretty white. Would it be reasonable for me to get upset if someone called them white because they're actually bi-racial? Then maybe focus on that. Because this makes you look silly.

How is it anti-democractic the a nominee can be picked at a convention? In Canada we see this all the time in leadership contests. Candidates endorse other candidates that switch the balance of power amongst delegates. The "presumptive" nominee is stepping down and endorsing his VP. The party seems to be rallying around this, based on the fact almost all major players have already endorsed Harris and no one, other than maybe Joe Manchin, has tossed their hat into the ring. The delegates will still get a chance to select their leader.

Oh so now you're here defending Biden. 😆 Things change. It's clear Biden can't continue to be POTUS for another four years, he's aging too rapidly. Not forcing him out 18 months ago was a mistake in hindsight. But the Dems are in a better situation now. And spare me of the democracy talk. Party politics are different than a fair election to elect a government. In Ontario, the leader of the PC party was forced out due to sketchy claims of sexual assault and Doug Ford was quickly installed without much consultation. No one screamed that democracy was being trampled on.

The talking point that Primary voters were robbed of their chance to pick their representative is hilarious. As if they feel bad for all those people that voted for an incumbent POTUS now saddled with having to support his Veep? I saw a Vance tweets saying that if Biden doesn't think he can run then he should step down now. I think most objective people are more worried that Biden will face four more years of similar declines vs his state now. That's ultimately why he can't continue. Aging is not for the faint of heart. It would be deliciously fitting if the Trump narrative that sticks is that he's the old guy with dementia.
