I don’t know about you but I’m getting a little sick of the nonstop Biden should bow out because he is old and had a bad debate bullshit (Although I’m proud of the way the community here at Daily Kos is pushing back against that.)
And I’m downright furious that somehow the narrative is becoming, that Donald Trump, an existential threat to Democracy, serial liar, Adjudicated RAPIST, Convicted Felon of 34 Felonies, Twice impeached Former President, Proven Fraudster in his Business who tried a coup, is not the one pundits are asking to drop out. The Slightly older guy with the hoarse voice is.
So for me it was refreshing to see Allan Lichtman, who has correctly predicted 9 of the last 10 elections (with Bush V Gore the one that got away) Attack this nonsense in a segment I feel everyone should see.
In addition to this, the Biden Camp is reporting that it has hauled in 33 million dollars in Fundraising since the debate. Which shows that while the left might be worried we are still putting our money on Biden.

Finally on to the polls.
Although many Democratic voters say they would prefer Biden step aside as the party’s nominee after Thursday’s weak debate performance, a new Morning Consult poll reveals that Biden’s support actually improved after the debate from 44% to 45%
The same thing happened with an Ipsos
As a whole, in the pre-debate wave, 44% of respondents reported that they were considering voting for Biden. 46% said the same of Biden after the debate.
A Survey USA Poll did Gives Trump a slight edge at 45% to 43% as did a few others so all in all the polls show no movement either way.
All the poll shows more concern about whether Biden should continue though, which is worrying, with the majority increase not coming from independents or Conservatives but Democrats themselves, Which makes me want to yell let’s grow some freaking spines! They are standing with their guy after Rape and numerous Felonies and we are jumping ship after ONE DEBATE!
Romney, Killed Obama after the first debate, Remember the Romney administration? Clinton Killed Trump after the debate remember her administration? Kerry destroyed Bush during the first debate remember his administration? I know that is not most of us here, but I needed to vent.
Finally, the polls, show Alternatives to Biden really don’t do any better against Trump and I would add lose the advantage of incumbency and create chaos for Democrats.
The media is hyping this nonsense because it is entertaining and causes concerned Democrats to freak out and click on every headline that offers a solution to saving the country from Trump. If we want to save the country from Trump, we need to get work on registering new voters, campaigning, donating, and fighting for our incumbent and not George McGoverning this shit.
Newsflash Biden is old. I don’t care I’d vote for him over Trump if he were getting his last rites on national Television. So the next time someone asks you if you are worried Biden is too old to do the job, Ask them if they think a twice impeached Narcissistic felon, who is an adjudicated rapist and proven fraud, who tried to buy Greenland and overturned Roe V Wade might actually be worse. Because that is a lot better question.
