You may be right. But the DNC hand picked Hillary and now Biden. So that is who is responsible.

I understand how people might argue how intense campaigning is months before the election and how little sleep you get and how you never really get to rest (as was argued about Hillary and her episodes of collapsing) but I'm pretty sure when you are the POTUS, your level of intensity doesn't go down but probably up even more. I don't see how Biden can realistically be considered for 4 years of leading the most influential country in the world.

There is no frigging way he is capable of doing it. Our country will be run by the staff that the DNC commies nestle in with him and have him appoint to cabinet roles and other leadership positions while Dementia Joe naps a lot.

I'm convinced the reason the DNC is not crushing this story is because they are going to literally throw him out within 6-12 months.

Think about it:

They've been trying the 25th amendment approach to trump at least verbally so the idea exists in the public.

They aren't pushing back against him being a senile old man.

They're going to run one of the other candidates as his VP and if that's Harris, we have a female poc.

8 months into his term he admits his health is failing, steps down and we get Harris (or whomever) as president for the next 3 years.

Dems celebrate their first female poc president.

Because Biden was the only dem candidate who was mainstream enough to have a chance in the general election. Bernie? Warren? Harris? America is not ready for that far a left President. And these protests have shown the public what the dem party seems to think the majority of Americans believe and want.

I just don't agree with this. Buttigieg, Yang, and Klobuchar were all either as mainstream or even further right than Biden, and all were viable enough to have made a good run. Buttigieg in particular could have presented a striking contrast of youth and energy to Trump's age and inability to navigate a ramp. And he absolutely could have out-performed him in a debate in both focus and clarity.

Buttigieg's parents were literally communists. He's not moderate at all.

Depending on how bad Biden gets, they would probably try to keep him in office until just after 2 years into his term.

This way the VP could run for two full terms on their own.

Mayor Pete's positions were all moderate relative to the rest of the party. And it is unfair to assign the writings of the father as positions of the son. Additionally, some of Sr's writings about colonialism, although couched from the perspective of a Marxist, weren't wrong. There are tenets of communism/socialism that aren't wrong. For instance, the richest class in any country will without fail use its wealth to obtain levers of power, subject poorer classes, and avoid equal justice. If you think that doesn't apply in our country you're naive AF. Just read Jeff Epstein.

If Joe backs out of debates, Trump should have an empty podium with Joe's name on it at every rally.

Is this perhaps the first presidential election where both candidates exhibit moderate to severe mental illness?
