@susanstone664 That's why we need to stay with our candidate. It would be political suicide to change now. Biden is right. He's the guy for the job for the next 4 years. Do you or I like it? Maybe not, but there is no one else on either side up to speed with what is happening internationally except Blinken. He just needs to make it to inauguration day, folks, then if you all want to invoke the 25th amendment, do it. Kamala will step in. Don't know why people don't calm down. He has a VP to step in who is up to speed on everything, too. Right now it's normal aging and exhaustion with Biden. I went through the same shite. I was working 12 hr days 7 days a week year after year and on call, too. Getting 2-4 hours sleep at night. I retired at 63 because I couldn't even think and thought I'd stroke on the job, it was so stressful. Took me months to recover and get rested. Now I'm fine.

Even if Kamala Harris has "earned the right to be considered", she certainly hasn't earned the right to be coronated. To say she has done a tremendous job is pure unsubstantiated hyperbole. She has not. If Biden stays in, we will lose. If Harris is the nominee, we will most assuredly lose. It is time for the Democratic Party to step up and do the right thing and select someone who can WIN. It is time for Biden to pass the torch to a winning team and that does NOT include Harris.

[@Commons3nc]

The whole conversation is hilarious because its all rooted in the same fallacy in logic, ageism like racism or sexism is a generalization rooted in bias. I personally, feel the age for President should be capped at 65. The normal age for retirement. However, this election isn't about a contrast of performance. It is a contrast of ethics and functional policy. 45 is unfit to hold office by the content of his character. The President, despite what most think is not a person. it is an office, one that has over 200 people working hard behind the scenes, and a VP on stand-by to replace the commander in chief if he or she cannot uphold their station. However, you can't change character, you can't change 45 and he does not listen to anyone but those that tell him what he wants to hear The man told us to drink bleach for god sake to cure covid and here we are having a serious conversation about Biden's competence without revisiting who he is running against or the corrupt nature of the republican party in contrast to now and the chaos that the next four years would bring under republican leadership. (And, what the House of representatives has looked like under republican leadership). The media is purposely changing the conversation to this garbage pretending it's substantive.

Biden originally promised that he was going to be an transitional President, that he was only going to serve 4 years and then pass the torch. Now when we clearly see Biden is in decline, and he is refusing to pass the torch because he is blinded by power. Sad day in America, because Biden can't beat Trump.

[@Kelli.B.]

Joe says Trump was shouting during the debate even though they turned off his microphone. Umm, who's going to tell him there was a split screen and Trump only spoke, not yelled, spoke during Joe's time one time? Nice try bro.

[@TravisPflanz]

Well... That's not completely true, either (if you actually watched the full debate). When Biden was speaking it was mostly full screen, with part split screen. There was much more split screen when Trump was speaking.

[@Kelli.B.]

@TravisPflanz I did watch the entire debate. I noticed it went to single frame, opposed to the split screen, more frequently when Trump was speaking. I remember because I was curious if they were trying to avoid showing Biden staring with his mouth slightly agape. I'll go back and watch it again later to check. However, when Trump did speak out of turn during Biden's turn, we could still hear him. It was quiet and somewhat muffled, but we could still make out his words. And oddly, CNN turned Trump's microphone back on so they could trash talk each other's golf skills. 🙄 So I still don't believe Trump was yelling throughout the debate. And I don't believe that is the reason Biden did so poorly, along with a mysteriously appearing and disappearing cold.
