A growing number of Democrats are calling on the president to drop out of the 2024 election.

      It’s also possible that people saw the debate and started asking questions on their own. Not everything is the media, the candidate is a problem.

      FWIW, I do not want Donald Trump to be president and I would just prefer a D candidate who is still mentally with it.

          I think the point is that we shouldn’t have to vote for an ineffective leader to avoid a fascist convict. Out of 300 million people, we should be able to find at least one who can move the country in a positive direction.

          And, for the record, I’m not a bot…just a millennial who’s sick and tired of this bullshit.

              Becasue that’s a daydream.

              It’s an ideal. Which is exactly what we should be striving for. We shouldn’t have to settle for an octogenarian, ineffective leader just because. The man is losing in every poll and, chances are, he’ll end up costing us the election – worse; the country.

              I understand why Democrats consistently settle for less than they’re worth, but fuck man…time is short. We need to stop fucking settling. If not for us, for our kids and their kids. Because if we just keep settling for “good enough,” we won’t have anymore “daydreams”; we’ll be living in a complete and total nightmare.

                  I don’t know, man. The way I see it, you (and those who are still blindly supporting the ghoul) are bigger whiners than anyone.

                  You see the cognitive decline, but you don’t want a messy primary. So you close your eyes and tell everyone to keep voting for him. Worse; you attack those who want change - who want to “actually do the work.”

                  And to say people aren’t “doing their fair share” is preposterous. The DNC didn’t primary Biden. How are we supposed to do something about him, when a tiny group of people selected our candidate for us. Your answer is to just “grin and bear it?”

                  Do you have any idea of what that does? It creates an electorate that is alienated and doesn’t vote. Congrats…you’ve whined us right into a fascist state! Hope it was worth not upsetting the apple cart.

                  Seriously, what would the founders say about this approach? Brave men and women who risked their lives, watching the most spoiled group of whiners and social media junkies destroy the government they fought for through inaction. I’m sorry, but that’s not who we are. We must take action, we must call for Biden (and Trump) to quit, and we must find two competent adults to run this race. And if we can’t? Well, that tells us this little experiment is over.
