He’s guaranteed to lose now. I can’t see a universe where the mental gymnastics add up to deciding that this is a good idea. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be funny as hell. But I’m really not looking forward to the idea of more Trump.
It was a debate
It’s wild. He’s not even fit for office right now let alone holding office for another 4 years starting 6 months from now.
They’re so fucked. The only candidate with any name recognition and popularity who could potentially replace him is Hilldawg and nobody likes her. It’s so Joever.

I think people seriously understate this part of the current political calculus going on.
I put it as a coin flip right now whether or not Biden gets swapped out but if the party leaders and the media adopt the position that he is unfit to serve another term due to cognitive decline…isn’t that an implicit acknowledgement that he is unfit to serve and should step down right now?
Crazy how Sundown Joe can refer to either his mental state or his political views.
Joe Biden should drop out but I understand why they aren’t replacing him. The Democrats are the most risk adverse political party possible. The question isn’t should he drop out but who replaces him. Pick the wrong person and you risk alienating key parts of your base. Do they even beat Trump? I think there’s a correct candidate who meets all the parameters to win this year but the democrats are cowards and aren’t willing to take the risk.
plus they have the copium of “he won last time.”
The problem is they cannot replace Biden, there is simply way too much Democratic money interests tied to the Biden administration.
Ukraine is like Bitcoin - Biden has managed to pour huge amount of money onto that front and got everyone to buy into it, expecting the line to go up and up and up. Nobody wants to be left holding the bag, and that’s the same logic as people holding on to Bitcoin and refusing to sell. Better that everyone goes down together than to be the one making a loss. Sunk cost fallacy.
Having said that, Biden is still not completely cooked yet. There are 5 months left, and “interesting” things can happen that would be so shocking that the polls could still be flipped.
