    Biden’s campaign and his family are the only ones defending him, and now his family is turning on the campaign…

    Among the most vocal: Jill Biden and son Hunter, whom the president has long gone to for counsel and advice. Both believe the president shouldn’t bow out when he’s down, and believe that he can come back from what they see as one subpar performance. The family questioned how he was prepared for the debate by staff and wondered if they could have done something better, the people said.

    Like, why the fuck is Hunter Biden involved in these decisions?

    This is the one time voters actually want the party to put their fingers on the scales, and they just fucking won’t.

    They’d rather risk trump then turn on Biden, because he appointed the current DNC leadership.

    And if a Dem doesn’t win the general, they get to vote to maintain the current leadership.

    Who are obviously incredibly incompetent. If Biden wins, he’s keeping them all for their loyalty.

    The party top concern isn’t stopping trump, it’s maintaining their personal power over one of the only two political parties in America, that’s supposed to raise 2 billion just for Biden’s campaign this cycle.

    They’re in it for the money, not to save America.

    We can’t keep putting our future in their hands.

      No, there’s a lot of us that don’t want to surrender the incumbent advantage for the very common backlash-against-the-last-party phenomenon we’ve seen many times in the past decades.

      We’re just not as loud as everyone else, and our position makes terrible clickbait.

        I don’t know, did you see the same debate i saw? But it’s ok, it will be fine. Kamala Harris will just take over when the time comes.

          I did. I saw a tired old man and a used car salesman. More importantly though, is I don’t think almost everyone gives two shits about debates or polls. They know these two guys, know them well. What they offer is clear.

          Additionally, I don’t think a President has to be spry. They just need to be good at delegation, that is by far the most important skill. If you think about monarchy, the king did not need to run everything. Simply assign the tasks to people who did know all the details. Generals run the army. Finance ministers run economy. Diplomats run diplomacy. Etc.
