Who else do they have? They have to commit. No one is voting for the Democrats anymore
It's wild. He's not even fit for office right now let alone holding office for another 4 years starting 6 months from now.
They're so fucked. The only candidate with any name recognition and popularity who could potentially replace him is Hilldawg and nobody likes her. It's so Joever.

I think people seriously understate this part of the current political calculus going on.
I put it as a coin flip right now whether or not Biden gets swapped out but if the party leaders and the media adopt the position that he is unfit to serve another term due to cognitive decline....isn't that an implicit acknowledgement that he is unfit to serve and should step down right now?
Exactly.
Its funny I was talking to my mom about it the other day and I said something like "I don't get why Republicans haven't tried to enact the 25th amendment yet" and she just said "Why would they? They want to win." lmao
It was a debate
yes they will.
Joe Biden should drop out but I understand why they aren't replacing him. The Democrats are the most risk adverse political party possible. The question isn't should he drop out but who replaces him. Pick the wrong person and you risk alienating key parts of your base. Do they even beat Trump? I think there's a correct candidate who meets all the parameters to win this year but the democrats are cowards and aren't willing to take the risk.
plus they have the copium of "he won last time."
