"The “Dump Biden” movement might well just be limited to people with op/ed columns and Substack accounts." LOL

I hear the same stories over and over from op-ed guys: (1) “everyone from my grocer to my daughter linguistics professor says ‘but he’s so old’.” (2) “he gives a speech but all I see is a doddering old guy on stage.” What is so profound about these anecdotes?

It's entirely possible that this is also a strength for Biden. The stridency that scares some centrist voters in other Democratic candidates just doesn't seem so intense for an old grampa.

A whole lotta ignoring going on here about how Biden was put on top of the ticket in 2020. Not that that's particularly surprising;

the DNC just thinks it can similarly engineer its Presidential candidates through the next decade or so, because "it worked last time". Soon they'll no longer have the specter of fascism to hide their internal chicanery behind (unless they prop it up through their super-PACs and "Pied Piper" strategies, that is; and maybe not even that'll work); and then they'll look for the future they spurned, and find an empty camp.

Good point.

Thanks. They won't care, tho'; the obtuse-narrative spice must flow. Gonna be a degrading, intelligence-insulting 14 months ahead.

Its not just his age. Its his apparent dementia, falling asleep while talking with heads of state, trouble walking, etc. Doubt he will finish a 2nd term if he finishes this one. And the person behind him is unfit. I cant vote for either trump or biden.
