I do think this is part of it - politics.


How exciting, actors get to influence elections in the US. The American people deserve better.


Reality TV show host anyone?



But the people voted for him, they chose him, Clooney is literally interfering with the votes of Americans who selected Viden.

Only a minority of you celebrity infatuated Americans did. Electoral college and all being what it is. Keep your star struck obsessions out of the running of our country please. It leads to no good. Most of us are completely unconcerned with what George Clooney thinks. It’s the right that keeps hammering away at it.

What debate? It will be forgotten like Biden's other performances indicating he is not able. He was doing this in 2020, and got elected. If he stays in all those people who said he was incapable, will just pretend they never said it.

They'll go back to
"This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever. Not a close second. "


Yeah no.

Look at some old videos of Biden from the beginning of his presidency. He is unrecognizable today. Everyone can see that. Some deny it, for whatever reason.


I have the feeling the pro-Biden posters here are Republican trolls. As long as Biden stays in, it will be a Republican landslide up and down the ballot - the Presidency, the Senate, the House, State Houses, and the Courts for generations. Biden has rapidly declined over the past couple of years. Everyone sees it. And that is a gift to the GOP. They are the only people that want to keep Biden on the ballot.

No, I’m a Democrat.

I love silly bunnies like this. Trump is hidden away most of the time because when they let him out it’s sharks and cement in cars and batteries and AI. Actually, his speeches increasingly sound like poorly programmed AI.

Keep up your confidence, pp. It’s really heartening to see that you think the man who biffed it so hard in 2020 will somehow, after Roe, after trying to overthrow the government, will win big. The GOP is a tiny little tent and the people inside are crazy.

We get to sit back and watch him decline further in the next 6 months.


^ Look at this loony poster, who pretends to know what conversations are happening between Jill and Joe at the Biden's breakfast table.




I’m not participating in this revolt. I voted for Biden in the primary and I expect my vote to be honored. A switch at this point would be an attack on democracy.


You are really obsessed with posting here. Real Democrats understand that
1. Their options were limited in the primary thanks to Biden
2. Biden stepping down because of his health is not "an attack on democracy" don't be daft


I'm a new poster. I'm also an independent. Personally, I took find it maddening to be lectured on democracy by a party that is throwing out its own elections.

The notion that Biden's health changed dramatically between the primaries and the debate is unlikely.

The notion that the primaries were somehow not "real" because Biden was an incumbent is also not true. RFK tried to challenge Biden, and the Democratic Party sidelined him.



DP here.

It's true that Biden, who has been declining for a couple of years now, has had a precipitous decline since Spring 2024. It's more likely caused by a series of mini-strokes than Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease, given what we know of his symptoms, although of course no one can definitely answer, not even his doctor. Why? Because these diseases are usually confirmed AFTER symptoms have become debilitating, unfortunately. There are ways of imaging the brain to look for the vascular injuries due to strokes and mini-strokes, but he probably didn't have that done (it would mean a visit to Walter Reed). Mini-strokes are not visible to the naked eye. It's not like you fall over and become paralyzed down one side of your face and need hospitalization. You may have a peculiar headache for a bit, but that's it - you're walking and talking throughout.

The comments about elections and democracy are just not grounded in reality. In a perfect world, sure, we'd have time for elections and primaries and voters would be consulted all the time. But in this world? No, it doesn't, and has never, worked like that. In any country. Due to inertia, no Democrat except the incumbent had a chance in the Dem primary. Biden should never have sought relection, that's for sure. So here Democrats are, in a mess of their own making, and Harris is the only candidate who has a glimmer of a chance of hoisting them out of this mess.




You completely lose me with the last sentence. Whatever is going on with Biden, Harris is NOT a better candidate than he is. Polls are clear on this.


Since she is not incapacitated, she is a better candidate than Biden.

Have some integrity.


Why yes, have some integrity. Dump Biden!

The DNC was caught flat footed. They were going with Biden - up until he failed. They are still floundering.


He's been failing for four years?

DP. You would be wrong. The Democrats I know IRL are incensed that Biden might be removed from the ticket - after all, they voted for him! They feel disenfranchised, as if their votes didn't even count. I know of very few Democrats who support removing Biden. But I think it makes you feel better to blame it on Republicans, as usual.

Kamala Harris is ready to be our President. Joe Biden needs to step aside for the good of our country.

Look, if the DNC wants to instead run the architect of the Biden border police, that’s cool I guess.
