I truly didn't think Biden did that poorly. He got off to a slow start, so what? Towards the second half of the debate he started kicking ass — repeatedly calling Trump a liar — and zapping him with some clever one liners.
Tyrant Trump went in reverse. He started off sounding somewhat rational, but in the end he was a rambling bully who turned into a pure evil lunatic who couldn't give a straight answer if his life depended on it.
I love Kamala Harris and if something should happen to Biden our country is in good hands. She would make an excellent President. So I don't lose any sleep over having an 80-something year old as President.
But The main stream media was dying to see Biden “flop.” They really want Biden to lose. They genuinely don't give a damn about democracy. They believe Trump is better for their bottom line. And, they are arrogant enough to believe they are too powerful for the Magaverse to harm them in any way.
The MSM will harp and harp and harp to cause as much damage to Biden as possible. They know — as much as most of the readers of Daily Kos — that the best campaigner for President usually wins. I think we can all agree that Biden is a great President, but not such a great campaigner regardless of his age.
In the end the Democratic Party needs to do some soul seaching. Nothing, but nothing, is more important than winning in November. If Biden is the best Democrat in the entire United States to defeat Felonious Trump in November then fullsteam ahead. But if there is someone else better suited to defeat the MAGA Fascist Pig then we need to do what's best for us and the rest of the world and nominate that person at the Democratic Convention pronto!
No one is indispensable! Not Biden or anyone else!
Most people don't want to voluntarily give up great power! It’s totally understandable.
So let's learn from the example of Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg. Had she retired in her 80’s when the Democrats controlled both the Presidency and the Senate the Supreme Court would be 5-4 instead of 6-3. That would have made a big difference with many cases being decided in our favor because it's a lot easier to get one conservative Justice to side with us than having to flip two!
Thank you Joe Biden for being a great President. Protect your legacy at all costs from someone who wants to totally destroy it!
