    Biden could commit to only serving one more year and let the VP pick go to a brokered convention.

        He has to put up a strong front at this point, to keep the confidence of voters. But he could absolutely resign a year in… either planned or due to some new development, e.g. illness.

          He is physically incapable of this, he just demonstrated that to us. Strong front? Who are we talking about? We seriously need to wake up, its over for Dems if there is no pivot. Any other conversation is copium.

      I think most Democrats are worried about him being elected more than will he be able to be president for four years. Like he probably won’t, but there’s lots of structure and support to prevent a failing Biden from a catastrophic presidency. There’s basically none to prevent him from tanking his reelection campaign.
