    *edit because we’re incredibly tense, not loose

    Because Biden was the ‘electability’ candidate, and he’s looking pretty fucking un-electable.

    The argument against swapping out candidates with 4 months to go is ostensibly because it’s not enough time to campaign, but that’s the reason Biden needs to be tapped out. Whoever is running needs to be able to clearly prosecute the case against Trump, but Biden can’t even deliver a coherent sentence. Even when he’s reading off prompter he’s flubbing words, missing cues, and can barely remember who’s still alive and who’s already dead. We can’t just hope people will read between the broken sentences; Biden needs to be able to campaign for himself. Turnout will be so fucking low if he doesn’t do his fucking job, and that will be nobody’s fault but his and the DNC’s if they don’t fucking do something now.

    Quit complaining about how the press is reporting on his flubs; they’re not inventing that problem whole-cloth, Biden is clearly not doing well. People should be irate that the white house and the DNC have been ignoring this issue that’s been growing steadily for the last 3 and a half years.

    We *lose if we do nothing about this. Fullstop.
