I said on July 6 of last year that Biden would not make it to be on the ticket in November. I have seen and see plenty of reasons why that might be wrong. But I remain Rumsfeldian and do not see it. It is not a situation where I pound the table and say it won't happen. Just sayin' I do n What is amazing, and it actually pisses me off quite a bit, is how narrow and political the dems are. You hear very, very little about what life is like for Joe even if he is re-elected. Their only goal is to stumble over the finish line. As though he smartens up or starts getting younger after the election or something. To be clear, this does not end well for Biden or the country. Not a chance. There is plenty of room to debate whether it will not end well before or after the election, but it will not end well either way. The fucking idiot had every opportunity to declare himself the "transitional president" who only ran to save the world from Trump, and then declare victory and bail out and live off his legacy. It is too late for that now. If he loses to Trump he will be demonized by dems for being a selfish prick and a pox on history. If he bails out tomorrow and Newsom or some other clown loses, the dems will demonize him for not leaving early enough to allow for an orderly primary where quality contenders could develop their campaigns. And a removal/stepping down after the election in the next term would just be a different kind of nightmare, but a nightmare nevertheless. What a mess.
You and @Tsing Tao are having a conversation about a mythical “they.” As if Joe Biden isn’t the head of the Democratic Party. It’s fair to ask whether he should step aside, and quite frankly the same is true for Donald Trump, but Biden is in control of the whole organization.

Biden is the titular head of the Democratic Party. But out in real world he would not exist in that position or as president without his handlers. That is why he is running again. Work with that a little. I know that "reality" is a place you do not like to go, but work with it.
