@stux I’m assuming they mean replacing him with someone inside the Democratic Party but I could be wrong. I haven’t paid that much attention.

@stux They all want attention, and the progressives still think there’s a chance for “their strongperson who will stick it to the right and make it all better”.Biden’s team is good enough and smart enough to ignore it.

@stux replacing biden is not okregardless of what people say, there are many conservative leaning people who are ok with voting for an old white male, and who would otherwise not vote for kamala harrisnot only that, replacing biden loses the incumbent advantage

@stuxThe problem is that there really isn't enough time. If they were to replace him today, they would have roughly 45 days to prepare for the convention and then after that roughly 40 days before early voting starts.

@stux It is about information, but for many news companies... it's about entertainment and sensationalism, and it always was.The New York Post (a tabloid) has an article quoting the ex-husband of the First Lady (Jill Biden). Her ex-husband is criticizing her support of her current husband, the president... this is nonsense, but very typical.

@stux The focus is having a candidate with the highest probability of keeping that fascist out of office. That's either going to be Biden -- or someone else. And the clock is ticking.

@stux There is no indication that the President has any serious health issues. His complete yearly health assessment is on line.He takes a cholesterol med, a blood thinner, and over the counter meds for allergies and GERD. As a medical professional I can tell you that's not unusual or concerning for anyone over 70.He had a cold and sore throat on debate night. Unfortunate timing. It could've happened to anyone at any age.#StillRidinWithBiden24

@stux news (and science) divisions were at one time independent, and not expected to make money. They have been rolled into the entertainment divisions where ratings and ad revenue rule. It's all about the bottom line with mega-media companies.

@stux No worries, we have procedures in place to cover those "just in case" situations.The right has built up the case against Biden's age for months, and they will continue to beat that drum.That's because it's all they have. Weak.

@stux I walked away thinking nobody won, but Trump sounded very unhinged. Not too many answers were directly answered.Felt like CNN could have done any moderation or fact checking along with set & setting was a bit strange with no audience. Also, Biden's handlers should know if he was sick and just postponed the debates.At this point you have to move forward with who you got.Recommended watch: Beau of the fifth columnput out a video: "Let's talk about Biden's experts and advisors...."

@stux We're talking about it because Biden's cognitive performance in the debate was so poor. Biden and Trump debated twice in 2020 and the consensus was that Biden won those debates. He wasn't nearly as sharp this time and it was alarming. He shuffled on the stage, mumbled his answers and in general appeared like a doddering old man. There's still time to pick another candidate.

@stux I will 100% vote for Biden if he is the candidate, but the man is ancient.There are also a growing number of people who say they won't vote for Biden no matter what, due to his enabling of the genocide in Palestine. If we had a younger candidate, who wasn't involved in something like that and was hopefully more progressive, it might swing more votes to the Dems. It might also get more people out to vote, at a time where turnout is still very low.

@stux Unbelievably, we've still got undecided voters in this country. Biden should be ahead by 20 points, but the media here has normalized Trump to such a degree that when he behaves like a lunatic people think, "That's just Trump being Trump." So we need an opponent who is clearly more competent. Biden's performance was just awful and it shocked us.

@stux @NeonPurpleStar Biden is healthy enough to get through this election and win, which will ensure the executive branch remains staffed by capable professionals for another term.It's possible that he would want or need to step down before completing that term, but his team would remain in place. That's what matters the most.

@stux Trump should stop his campaign, he is a convicted felon. President Biden should not stop his run for reelection. We need Biden's honesty and hard work to pull us through these unpredictable times. The list of reasons for trump's withdrawal is too long and frankly too upsetting to list. You all know what a creep and grifter he is. Wake Up America, Vote Blue!
