I agree. I don't know how anyone could have watched yesterday's debate and not at least be concerned.

Biden can still win and this debate will be largely forgotten in a week, but that was a REALLY poor performance. Why are they holding on so strongly to a candidate who clearly isn't the same person as 10 years ago and is struggling with poll numbers?

I understand the incumbency advantage but it's baffling at this point.

As a dem what has this debate changed for you?  

We know he was old, stuttered, and mumbled.

Your options are trump or Biden. Life sucks.

It’s not acceptable to run Biden… the DNC is painting Trump as the end of democracy.. if they truly believe that and still run Biden then I seriously have to question if they’re acting in good faith

I can’t stand Trump but I’m not voting for Biden… the public is supposed to believe they have a choice in their leaders but Biden is so clearly mentally unfit no one can vote for Biden and believe he has a say in anything that actually happens. It’s straight up cruel they are humiliating this old man he needs to go fuck off and retire on the fortune he skimmed from the American public during his 98 years in Washington
