I hope Pelosi and Obama get through to him and he steps down. It will be on Kamala to pick a running mate to energize the base, and as a prosecutor I think it would go a long way if she went with a staunch progressive as her running mate. Like could you imagine if we got a Harris Ocasio-Cortez ticket? AOC wouldn't have to be the frontrunner on questions of experience, and Kamala could show she cares about the future voters and setting AOC up for a future presidential run. I don't know how we can make that kind of a future a reality, but we really need to try.

The problem with dementia is you have lucid periods and bad periods.

Stories emerging from the white house paint a picture of deliberate attempts to hide the extent of Bidens ill health from the people.

The latest being that cabinet meetings are short, infrequent and cabinet members are asked before hand to submit questions and talking points. Cabinet members are unable to comment on how Biden is as they don't get to see him. This is very worrying as one of the "reassurances" we've been given is that Biden has picked an good team which supposedly compensates for any other deficiencies. Instead we find his top tram are working with little direct interaction with the elected president.

He has to go from the ticket. This is absolute madness in so many ways and the democrats are going to hand the presidency to Trump, but also possibly the senate and the house. It says a lot when the Trump campaign are dialling down the attacks on his mental capacity as they don't want him to withdraw - they want to attack him on this again after the point of no return.

Any Americans here really should be contacting their democrat party representatives and urging them to act.

As someone in the UK I am watching this mess with concern for the future. A Trump presidency controlling all arms of the american government is horrifying and looking like an increasing possibility.

This is like when Fox News tells my Trumper mom what to think….

There were just too many idiots for too long that were yelling down any discussion of Biden's obvious ineptitude. Any time anyone would bring it up, they would just jam the "BoTh SiDeS" buttons on their keyboards. They completely fell into the trap of trying to crush discussion, and now we are left holding this senile old man as a candidate. It is almost certainly a lost cause at this point. Harris has half the payout of Biden on most sites where you can gamble on the results, and she isn't even running. If we get anything out of this mess, I hope it is that the new generation of democrats coming up can see how toxic and self-sabotaging it is to try and shut down any conversation they dislike. All those people who have been shouting "bOtH sIeDs" so much their keyboards started to bleed should feel like shit right now. Your pathetic attempt to crush discussion hurt you and the rest of us. Discussion = good. Even if it's uncomfortable. Remember it.

If only they let other candidates get the same amount of ballot access in the primaries that Biden got instead of running a sham primary and having the most nationally popular democrats abstain from even running in it.

If Democrats listened to their constituents, they could have forseen the need to replace Biden. Im positive Newsom and Williamson would have ran in the primaries if they knew it was going to come down to replacing Biden anyway. The only reason they didn't was to hold the party line and show unity. Well they made their bed, and now the whole country has to lie in it.

Would Americans really vote for Harris?

Stop flooding the zone with this propaganda
