Trump rambles like an insane asylum resident literally every day and nobody bats an eye
Biden forgets a couple names and has a bad throat and everyone loses their minds
You're posting under a meme literally mocking Trump for rambling like an insane asylum resident. He's been ordered by courts to pay $83.3 million for shit he has said and is actively being procecuted for other things. You don't notice it anymore because Trump has been criticized daily for the last decade, whereas calls for Biden to step down are new, because he only recently started acting senile.
I think it was more an exasperated call to the fact one candidate is flubbing and it's front page news covered by every tv news station 24/7 and the other is incoherent 24/7, leading in polls, and if you weren't on social media you'd miss it.
Seems pretty reasonable to be frustrated.
Here's the thing. For trump, the insane ramblings are a feature, not a bug. For Biden, we need people to turn up and vote for him, and normal sane people don't want someone who seems checked out.
Comparing them is not even reasonable at this point, and Trump's supports are not reasonable
I full agree on not wanting someone who’s checked out but it’s literally we eat the shit sandwich or we lose democracy.
I don't understand why this is the only shit sandwich who can win. There is no indication that someone who can't even string together a coherent speech is our only hope. Replace him with someone who is, at least, coherent.
Because we need a primary to vet candidates. The bad shit comes out in the primary. We weed out the people who seemed great on the surface yet ended up having issues. Just ask leading Republican Presidential candidate Rhonda Santis.
This late in the game there are also a number of non-political things that would go very badly if we switched candidates. It's too late from an administrative perspective. A replacement candidate can't create and launch a whole new Presidential campaign in a matter of days.
Then there's funding. Biden can't just give all his campaign funds to some other candidate. People donated that money to Biden's campaign; there are rules on how that money can be spent.
These are just a few examples of many issues.
It would be an absolute mess in ways that most people have not fully considered.
Then the Republicans would spin the scramble for a new candidate as incompetence of the party as a whole - a rare instance of them making a good point. No way voter confidence increases once all factors have come into play.
There's foreign involvement that wants the racist rapist with 34 felonies to run the show, because it will be terrible for our country. The cult that has become the republikkklowns lack critical thinking and just believe and do what they're told to do by fox "news".
For a sad laugh, think about how batshit things would be if Biden had 34 felonies, banged a porn star while his wife was pregnant at home, and then he talked about becoming a dictator, not accepting election results and plans an insurrection. They would be out of their damn minds. BUT, since it's their guy, nothing wrong there, good christian, speaks to them blah blah blah. Life must be simple when you're that dumb. All they have is fear and hatred for shit that isn't even a problem or happening.
I just listened to The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart where they discussed the viability of Biden's campaign.
The Democrats have the unfortunate condition of being, you know, sane. We have no issue of challenging the status quo, asking for a change.
I have yet to hear from anyone of significance say Trump should suspend his campaign for any of the same reasons that Democrats have for Biden. The GOP have already begun the "fall in line" stage and the fucker hasn't even been formally nominated. He's the "presumptive nominee."
The funny thing is that the GOP could, quite literally, put in anyone at this point. Any fascist asshole (e.g. DeSantos, MTG, Boebert, etc.) and their base will come out to vote for them.
If Biden gets to the convention and gets nominated, then yes, we MUST coalesce around him and campaign for him because the alternative is FAR worse. Make no mistake: this is an absolutely shit hand we the voters have been dealt. But one party is determined to shit on the table and make you eat it or jail you if you don't.
"But one party is determined to shit on the table and make you eat it or jail you if you don't."
And then once you're their prison slave have you shit on the tables for people to eat.
Was about to say, why isn't Biden responding to every question about his flubs with "Covfefe."
