This is the way the DNC set their rules up, they've been ok using the system to kneecap progressives, I see no reason that they shouldn't do that to Biden. I'm not precious about the DNC and I have no illusion that it's democratic, so they just need to stop pretending they're being held back by principles and just pull the levers they always pull to control the convention outcome.

Yes, Trump is extremely racist. He's also a right-winger, so that's a given. The distinction between someone horrible like Trump and his opposition should be that the opposition is not horribly racist and fascist and doesn't do things like fund a genocide.

I don't vote for Democrats because of their label, I vote based on their potential to actually be meaningfully better. Biden is indistinguishable from your rank and file Republican, and while that's "slightly less bad" than Trump himself, it's not good enough. I am not a Republican, and I will not vote for representatives who share so many of their views. Biden needs to go, he's going to cost the Democrats the election.

How ignorant are you right meow?

Ok, almost anyone...

It's not propaganda, and yes, literally anyone. You understand he's tied with Donald Trump? Right?

Like, we all saw Trump in his first term, even a lot of Trump's own people are sick of him at this point. He's old, he's becoming incoherent himself. Even the corporate media backing Biden is saying how easy this campaign should be for a Democrat, and yet here we are.

This denial of Biden's weakness is not helping anyone.

So you don’t believe in forgiveness or redemption?

Not for elected representatives, no. We're not talking about someone's uncle Randy who grew up in poverty and never went to school or met a black person or w/e. This is an educated person from a well-off background, they don't have an excuse. There are plenty of other smart, motivated people out there who are fit for office and are morally consistent on these uncomplicated issues like racism.

Anyone who takes 80 years to become slightly less racist than their younger days is not someone I want running for office. Forgive them, give them credit for sorting out their personal prejudices, sure, but they need to do that on their own time, we don't have time for leaders who are still struggling with the basics.

Biden has always been hawkish on immigration, even under Obama, whether this recent attempt was a ploy or not, it wasn't a ploy during all the other times in his career he advocated for punishing immigration policy.

A person's view shouldn't have to change on racial justice and equality, particular someone who'spart of the Democratic party. Sanders is just as old and he's always been on the right side of history, it has nothing to do with age.

Biden is still racist and even if his far-right border policy was a gambit that's really irresponsible, given the GOP could've easily just accepted the no-strings attached policy win. People need to stop making excuses for shitty politicians, and need to stop allowing the lesser evil be the enemy of good enough.

Yes, because these debates are not won by whoever is more factual, they're won by whoever has better rhetoric, which is why it's such a fool's errand for Biden to undertake it to begin with.

People who vote based on facts aren't going to learn anything new watching this debate, this is a circus for low-information voters who decide to vote based on "vibe".

There doesn't have to be a strong candidate, just anyone stronger than Biden who's basically zombie-crawling across the floor.

He absolutely can be replaced at this stage, and by nearly anyone.

It's the blood pumping through your arteries. I used to get this even in my teens after very long walks. You're literally just feeling your own pulse as your heart works a bit harder to meet your body's elevated demand for blood/oxygen.

I'm not sure why it seems to be more apparent after milder activity, but maybe something like walking doesn't dialate your blood vessels so much so there's a bit more pressure at certain points?

If you want to confirm its your blood vessels and not muscles, check your pulse as it's happening and see if its the same rythmn.

As far as I know it's normal, since I was in peak physical condition at that age (a lot of athletics, running etc.) but if it seems unusual for you personally I guess bring it up to a doctor.
