So the Dems and their media lied about Joe for years, and blocked/attacked anyone who dared oppose him in the primaries.
Now after it's clear he couldn't beat Trump Dems be all like "look how Democratic we are!"
How many times is Hunter going to call saying "dad, DON'T forget to pardon me before you leave"?
Maybe the Dems will straighten up a little bit and go back to having un-meddled primaries again so they can get strong, younger candidates.
Nah!
Bye-den

nope. if they allowed RFK to actually run a campaign for the primary we wouldn't be in this mess. Biden very well may have beaten RFK in the primary, but since we don't know that for sure, and given what they did to Tulsi in 2020 and Bernie in 2016 the DNC has ruined anyone from thinking the system isn't rigged. Biden's end here is just another example of that. Say what you want about Trump (and personally, I like 70% of the politics and genuinely dislike the man), but he is the only candidate that ran and won a campaign this cycle and they are painting him as the end of democracy (somewhat successfully given the things my extended family is posting on FB) so we deserve whatever we get from this point on.

I think if the Dems allowed real primaries to happen then RFKjr would already be the Dem candidate and I think he could beat Trump. I think incumbents should not be allowed to be sheltered from that process - because there is no other way to choose if that person is the best candidate that that party has at the time. It's essentially giving a grade mark on what they've done to that point. Doesn't matter what party is having primaries.

For 3+ years you couldn’t point out his failing faculties because we weren’t “doctors”.

Well, I will stop when ptown admits it was a stupid mistake and that Biden has been cognitively impaired this whole time.

Everyone knows the point you've made - trust me. I doubt you and ptown will ever see eye to eye. Best to move on.
New poll:
Is Biden alive?
The people who told you Trump was a threat democracy are once again trampling on democracy as they pick and choose who will rule.
Beyond belief what is occurring.

Yes, it is amazing that a convicted felon has not stepped down for running for the presidency

So, you went from "IT'S ELDER ABUSE!!!" to demanding he stay in because it's cheating if he doesn't. Good to know.

Define "alive".
If that means breathing, yes. If it means being totally aware of what is happening, uhhhhh...
Look you guys, I truly think that he was really sick from the Covid. Keep in mind that older people feel things like sickness much more than people closer to our age. And when they've got other things going on it's just that much worse. I think he'll be on tv as soon as his doc allows him.
Whole bunch of internet rumors that he had a major medical problem in Vegas and no one has seen him since.
Hate conspiracies but this will be bad on the Dems if it’s been that for the last couple days.

My question is, "who gets Covid anymore?" He was the first (convenient) case I've heard of in over 6 months.

Think this is bad, wait until the numbers come out in a few weeks of how Giggles the Clown will get crushed in the election before the Dem's pivot to their next "savior."

It’s still accurate though.

It has been elder abuse, and I'm not demanding he stay in the race whatsoever. His family and handlers should have said he is no longer up for the job at least a year ago and the DeMoCraTic process could have then played out. Instead they covered up his deficiencies to try to drag him over the line again, and that finally blew up in their faces after the debate. Soon after they saw the horrible poll numbers, and immediately turned on him and forced him out so they could hand pick the candidate, discarding millions of votes, circumventing the will of their voters, and trampling democracy.
The irony and the hypocrisy are immeasurable.
Based purely on age, neither Biden nor Trump are up for the job. There should be a constitutional amendment establishing an age limit.

A lot of people. I work at an ER.
But not many are kept for it, only the already infirm.
