"Trump is a felon. He is a pathological liar. He is a menace," wrote the Vermont senator. "But the national conversation is focused on President Biden's age and capacity. Only he can change it."

And that idiot thinks fanning the flame about Biden's age will help?

I don't know of any single case in any of the bigger democracies where a replacement candidate won their election.
Examples of replacement candidates losing are easy to find.

Replacing Biden helps Trump.
It's as simple as that.

And advocating to replace Biden weakens him, thus also helping Trump.

Democrats need to stop that shit fast if they want to win.

Replacing Biden helps Trump.

Then why does Trump want Biden to stay in the race:

Trump Stays Quiet (Relatively), Hoping Biden Stays in the Race

Why would you do what Trump wants? It’s as simple as that.

Trump is an idiot, and I don't let his choices define mine.

He also pushed people to get the COVID vaccine, and I didn't change my mind on that just because he said it.

trump has single handedly taken absolute control of one of two major political parties in the united states. he may be an idiot, but he's, apparently, a uniquely talented idiot.

if we ignore his choices we will likely suffer his consequences - again.
