It's easy to complain about them covering something unfavorable, but usually it's just them doing their jobs. But I thought the Biden debate thing was a one-day story. He hasn't made it a two-day story. I'm confused why it's becoming a one-week story. It's been a 4 year story for many in the media and not just FoxNews types. Granted you only heard about it on the right wing, but there have many things that Biden has done or has been reported over the years that now people are taking another look at. - Biden's first campaign, he did very little travel (comparative to POTUS campaigns in the last 30+ years). Covid was blamed for the reason and the majority of the media went along with it. - Few press conferences, the least since Reagan. (Wonder why Reagan had so few?) - Passed on the SuperBowl interview. - Many instances of physical issues (falling up stairs, etc) which Biden wasn't known for, he's not Ford. - Looking for the dead House rep among a crowd, only to be reminded she had died recently. - Special Counsel note on why they wouldn't pursue charges with Biden "sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." - Recent article where even dems (anonymous) said they saw Biden aging drastically recently. Meanwhile, anytime any of these stories came out and the Biden WH felt they were suggesting his age was the reason, you'd have top friends/colleagues come out with fantastical stories how he's only getting better with age and is the sharpest they've ever seen him and I think I lot of people kind of knew they were getting gaslit. Then the "one day" story happened at the debate and I think you've been seeing everyone reconsider so many of these previous stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a country of 256 million adults, Joe Biden is the best we can do to beat Trump. Not a single other person has the capabilities to do so. The enthusiasm is going down for Democrats too. It's 2016 all over again. 25% of Americans are entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Interesting article. This again leads me to believe this isn’t just about the debate. That was just the most recent and most public event of an issue that people close have noticed for some time. I know that we don’t want this to be true but unfortunately maybe it is.

LaceyLou Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I'm wondering if there's a chance for a change in plans for a VP... one who will feel comfortable with stepping in as President if it becomes necessary (similar to the 1944 election). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 No there’s not. That would really anger black voters and Harris is more than fine taking over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I can't believe how many Democrats continue to entertain this. Even if Harris gets the nomination, Trump is going to sue. She probably won't even make the ballot in all states and would have to run a write in campaign. Even if she wins, Trump will sue and the Supreme Court can overturn this. All of this over a debate. What a bunch of invertebrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
