    This is still The United States of America. Joe Biden has every right to NOT run. <-period.

    And the Democrats have every right to replace him.

    They can't help it if tRaitor tRump is now the only OLD man running. That he's a convicted crook and his opponent is someone that put's crooks in jail. That she has the record of a solid Presidential Administration to run on. And, tRaitor tRump's failed miserably and ended in violence. TRumpublican's just caught the car. 8)

    Willie Brown in this picture reminds me of Mel Brooks and his movie line, "It's good to be the King."

    This is how a party should deal with a flawed candidate. Put pressure on him until he goes. But trumpublicans embrace their fraudster / convicted felon / rapist. A party that actively supports and embraces a criminal. The party of power at any cost.

    More gaslighting. Biden didn't drop out because he's "too old." That wasn't the problem. Donors and the establishment backed him in spite of his age. The problem is that he is, and has been, mentally incompetent, a blatant fact that your overt gaslighting is trying to avoid coming to terms with. I'm not sure how many times I have to repeat this basic information before it takes hold. I understand cognitive dissonance can be difficult to overcome, but there's been plenty of time to view Biden's behavior and come to terms with this reality.

    The problem with that mentality is it just means you as bad as those you now emulate.

    You're better then that man.

    Im not going to lie to you, a Kamala Harris VS JD Vance would be much more interesting. At least then we could debate the merits of policy and be assured the next president isn’t some old fart.

    But is that going to happen? Not a snowball’s chance in hell, we all know Trump’s very freedom depends on the presidency.

    But I’d sure love to live in the alternative universe where it did happen.

    Are you serious? Trump was the one who started with relentless name calling.

    Absolutely. He certainly was not taken into a room with his family and told that he was dropping out or else. Just out of the blue and for no discernible reason whatsoever he decided it would be best for the country if he dropped out of the race. He of course is still competent to be President today, he just won't be competent in six months.

    Democrats voters must be the best consumers in history, they literally will buy anything.

    No, he's been attacked by the right unmercifully for 4 years and there was no path to victory, in probably the most consequential election ever. President Biden IS a statesman that loves his country. He did what he thought best FOR his country.

    Biden family is turning on each other right now:

    JUST IN: President Biden’s brother says Biden’s declining health was a key factor for why he is stepping down. We were called conspiracy theorists for suggesting this very thing. Frank Biden says his brother’s health “absolutely” played a role in his decision to step away. The Biden White House just gaslit and lied to the American people for years about Biden’s health. Criminals. - C. Rugg

    If Biden cannot campaign, Biden needs to step away, for the 25th should be invoked. Good chance to unite the country here and push him out because he is unfit. Then hold new primaries where the DNC lets the voters choice a candidate and then hold elections.

    Lols! There are a multitude of videos/ psychologists/psychiatrists who are pointing out Trumps multiple examples of paraphasias indicative of dementia

    “Declining health” not “declining mental health”

    This is rich, the Left was the one saying Trump wasn’t doing anything. Complaining about him comparing it to the flu. The Left even said he wanted to open up quicker to affect his election chances(Probably true, but there’s nothing wrong with that.).

    Now that the shutdowns were proven to be scientifically wrong, we’re going to pin it on Trump now?

    Back in 2020, the Left said he didn’t have a response. Let’s keep that same energy

    So?

    YOUR comment was:

    I pointed out that neither the headline nor anything in the story gives ANY indication that Biden ONLY wanted a black woman as his running mate.

    You are, at best, misconstruing the story or, at worst (and most likely), just plain lying about the story.

    Aww, poor Biden was criticized by political opponents. If only he had developed the mental faculties to overcome criticism in the decades he has been a politician. And here I thought it was mostly Jill Biden infantilizing him...

    Were they the same ones that caused you to gaslight this forum by claiming Biden was fine over and over again? Personally, when someone tells me a politician they dislike has dementia and also tells me Biden is mentally just fine and dandy, I kind of chuckle to myself and roll my eyes. But who knows, I could be the anomaly here and someone else might find this riveting. :sunnysideup:

    He is, as you're about to find out, one of the greatest and most beloved Statesmen in America. All the lies, slander and fake investigations are going to come back to haunt the tRumpublican party.

    The mental gymnastics of people defending Biden or screaming in rage at Trump might be several things with the most likely that they are paid influencers and have a job to spread as much disinformation as possible. It's rampant on X (Twitter) and most likely spills over to other political forums.

    Lots of die hards but reasonable conversation is not possinble in many cases.

    So they intentionally keep Biden on the ballot until right before the DNC convention to limit the pool of candidates. This is after systematically ensuring that RFK Jr., Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips, and any other Democrat hopeful had a fair shot. This is criminal. - J. Walker

    The DNC hates democracy. It’s that simple.

    That's rich, everyone with half a brain knew he was a full bubble off the day he was sworn in..

    If I were a Democrat I'd be a little disillusion with a party that thought so little of my intelligence they pushed this guy reassuring the base that all these signs were just normal Joe quirks..

    And I'd be taking a serous look at the MSNBCNN that funneled DNC propaganda down to their base..

    Wow what a scam this entire four year's has been..
