After Biden's poor performance and a litany of "senior moments" in the first debate, some Democrats are talking up the possibility of replacing him as their Presidential candidate before November. But is this actually feasible so close to the election?

Democrats had 4 YEARS to find a better candidate.. wtf are they doing
Democrats feel uncomfortable with their heads out of sand
My understanding is that they always put the current president back up for reelection unless they've done horribly?
There was no primary. No race, apart from a single unknown congressman.
Itâs gross negligence.
they needed a puppet, not a capable one.
I feel bad for biden. He should be retired
I feel bad for US.
I don't. He should have voluntarily retired already.
I don't feel bad for Biden. Typical yank, too much hubris and selfishness to do the right thing for the common good.
If he wasnt running against wannabe dictator, he probably wouldnt be running.

@@bogdanlipoan2320 Not funny
It's pretty comical how it's 2024 and the US has only ever had one presidential nominee (not candidate) born after the 1940s and that was Obama. The next most recent was Al Gore, who was born in 1948.
I had to check, but you are totally correct. Clinton and Bush Jr. are the same age as Trump.
People prefer voting for candidates who not only share their ideas but also their general age range and, well, the age block for all those presidents is the biggest in the country.
@PyschoSavager289 How is it comical. Please explain.
@@answerman9933 Tragically comical.
It's also money. Most of the people in power are older and are entrenched with each other.
They don't want to give up power
They could and should; But they wont.
The problem is even if they do, who could they replace him with that most Democrats would support and who could appeal to enough voters to beat Trump
â@joshuacampbell1625 Well there is Bernie. Y'know. What most people wanted in 2016.
@madcat789 I would agree if Bernie was 10 years younger. A big part of why Biden is in such a pickle is because of his age, so selecting Bernie would not elevate this concerns.
â@madcat789 so you want to replace an 81-year old... with an 82-year old?
@@kechicheahmed9303 At least that 82 year old still has his mind together, and I'm more pointing at the fact they could've picked him in 2016 and avoided trump all together. But they never listen to what the people want.
Sometimes it is important to tell an old man that he should step down.
The same problem in kongress and senate. There are many old people who do to their health and old age should not be in there anymore.
They really need to address that, maybe a age limit of 70 for entrance and 75 for serving
I agree! the Republicans need to tell Donald Trump to kick rocks and get lost!

American Democrat here. At the conclusion of the debate I decided that I was pro Joexit.
Honest question from outside the USA: HOW is Biden THE choice for democrats? I mean, you could pick one member of the democratic party at random and he would be by % better. (And do not get me started on Trump ...)
Out candidates are selected by the party during primary's, and completing against and incumbent in your own party is not only difficult, but could get you blacklist by the party
â ââ @@julonkrutor4649he is the incumbent president and leader of the party itâs extremely rare for incumbent presidents to not run for reelection, and in American politics, the power of incumbent seat is pretty powerful. And for the longest time, itâs not exactly obvious that insert democrat would be doing better versus trump. Any replacement candidate wouldâve needed to be elected by the voters in a primary, and because Biden is running for reelection. Nobody who wants a future in democratic politics, is running against him.
â@@julonkrutor4649 Inertia, Biden is the current president and they prefer to keep the status quo whether than shake the boat to gamble on getting a better candidate. Additionally the Democrat party threatened its members not to run against Biden and they even cancelled 4 to 5 state primaries completely. They even excommunicated New Hampshire as it was not favoring Biden (excuse was a disagreement over the date of the vote), although Biden did still win the unofficial primary anyway.
Democrat party primaries are well known to be quite controlled by the party, and party elites favorite candidates usually win.
Republicans primaries tend to be a lot more of a mess because they ironically have less institutional controls. The rise of Trump is an example of popular will defeating institutional power. It is quite depressing that Trump was an example of democratic will defeating institutional power back in 2016.
â@julonkrutor4649 Basically, all of the Democratic Party leadership said Biden was going to be their candidate. His challengers were Marrianne Williamson, who is outside of politics, RFK Jr, who has also never held political office, and Dean Phillips, who was told by many Democrats not to run. I can only guess that voters chose Biden because the party said so and they didn't know he was this bad.

Completely accurate. I eagerly voted for Obama/Biden twice but wasn't thrilled with Biden on his own. But I'll vote for whoever has the best chance to beat Trump.

USA reaching their late stage version of the ussr selecting their Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko
Who will gonna be the next younger version of Mikhail Gorbachov in USA đ
Yes. Although the USSRâs leaders kept dying and got through three Soviet leaders in three years. Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev who died in 1982, then Yuri Adropov became Soviet leader but died in 1984, then Konstantin Chernenko became Soviet leader but died in 1985, then chose Gorbachev instead of another elderly leader.
Well thatâs not a good parallelâŠ
However those guys are still younger than these 2. Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko died aged 69 and 73 respectively. So WAY younger
This. Exactly this. I have been making the exact same comparison for years now!
Arent they late? Biden should have said 2020 that he won't run again if Trump doesn't run. A replacement should have been picked 4 years ago.
I think he did but backtracked
@@honoramongscars649I think he didnât explicitly say he wouldnât run but highly suggested it in order to convince people. Like he called himself âtransitionalâ which people took as one term, and a lot of aides and leaks seemed to suggest there was a serious discussion, but I believe they were very politician like with it and never outright said it
1) The contingency that Trump wasn't going to run again is something that could not possibly be guaranteed even if Trump made that declaration. 2)The decision to retire for health reasons should be made independently from your adversary's decision to stay in the race; democracies should not be denigrated to grudge matches.
Didn't Mitch McConnell say that there was no need to impeach Trump because he was leaving office and so would no longer be a problem?
If McConnell and other Republicans had done the right thing and voted to impeach Trump then he couldn't have run again and hopefully Biden would have stepped down after one term.
Though Republicans would almost certainly have picked another MAGA candidate so maybe Biden would have still refused to just leave after one term.
Which makes one wonder.
If Trump wins and actually agrees to step down in four years and another MAGA Republican candidate runs in 2028 would Biden try to run again?
Though if Trump wins I doubt that the United States will have another real presidential election for a very long time.
He did. And then he backtracked once electeed
Trump lost all his debates 2016? That's some bad weed you are smoking.
Depends on who you ask.

I find it ironic to think how Bernie was as old as those two last time he ran for president (even more if I recall correctly) and yet he still seemed far brighter
(Not that the US was ever going to elect a somewhat leftist president)
Also he stepped down and endorsed Biden unequivocally to stop Trump... But now Biden's ego is the obstacle in beating Trump...
"somewhat leftist", lol Bernie is a Bone Fide commie.
Not even an exaggeration by his detractors, he went and lived in a Kibbutz in the 60s
Bidens ego was probably was the problem which frankly is ironic when trump is on the cards but unfortunately at this this point it is too dangerous for him to pass on the role to someone else as it is more likely to sway public opinion against the dems
Some people are just fitter than others.
I donât think itâs Bidenâs ego, I think the party genuinely believes he has a better chance of stopping Trump than any last minute change
berine 'let's be like venezuela' sanders?

I hope both parties can choose candidates between 50-60 next time
There should be a limit on the age of presidents, tied to the age of retirement in a country.

From its inception, the US of A has rejected Parliamentary Democracy in favor of a republican version. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, but the absence of budgetary crisis, due to elections being called when motions of confidence fail, is definitely a big positive of the Parliamentary system. But even in ruling parties with unpopular leaders, you really don't often see caucus revolts leading to the ousting of a Prime Minister.
@@Lawrence-lj5jz We have parliamentary democracy in my country (Czechia), it has its issues, but I will not change it for the presidental system, especially not for the American one. The fact that the prime minister has almost always a majority in the parliament and can persue policies effectivelly is a huge advantage. And at the same time, the prime minister can lose confidence vote when he is considered unfit for office. Which both Biden and Trump deffinitelly are.
I actually don't understand why both parties struggle with a reasonable candidate. You really wanna tell me, out of the 330million Americans, that's the best they can do?
Its party infighting whenever this happen. Its not unique to the USA.
Yes. Americas 2 best men
Well Trump is actually really popular inside the Republican Party.
I read a FiveThirtyEight article that said that tons of young congress people leave and donât seek office again because federal American politics is so freakin depressing.
Republicans really like Trump. We genuinely like him. He is hugely popular in vast swaths of the country, he inspires people, makes them feel good, fights against the people who hate us (such as the media, bureaucracy, global corporations, universities). People dont think Trump is a bad candidate, they genuinely like him and his policies. I think his policies are great and even most independents in the US do too.

That is one of the things that really stood out to me about this debate. Trump has shown plenty of senile moments (although sometimes it is hard to tell his senility from his lunacy). Biden came off as so glaringly senile that he made Trump look sharp (even while he was lying with every other breath).
Nah, they're not at all comparable. Biden clearly has dementia and has declined sharply. Trump is just old.
Yes, but Republicans are not supposed to be competent. In fact their goal is to make the state unable to act in the interest of its citizens, and Trump is perfect for that.
Trump got that loud mouth yapping dementia while Biden has the confused one.
Give it a week and the Democrats will hope that voter amnesia will set in and the media can re start its gas lighting about how Joe is sharp as a tack.

its already happening, and to be fair it just might work out for them, voters do tend to have a short attention span. I do wonder however if Biden will do the second debate now. I mean do you take a chance of reminding the voters that your candidate is sunsetting?
A week? Yesterday, CNN was going gaga over a post-debate rally speech he did.
They forgot to mention he was on teleprompter though.
Ever during the debate, they were saying "Biden has a cold". No one believed it.

One criticism I have about Trump's talking points here is that you didn't mention immigration at all. I think he spent a lot of time on that, saying the border is wide open, people are being killed by illegals, etc. He also only mentioned the 2020 election once towards the end.
and Afghanistan he kept bringing that up to avoid answering the questions he was given with substance.
Is it wide open? Because it isnât
Do you know how illegal immigrants go and stay in the USA? They abuse their work visa. After their visa expires, they just stay. How do you combat that?
@@sheevpalps3846 it is, there is zero risk in crossing it illegally
@@reksapluss716 Not true. Border patrols have increased since Biden took office. It's just that due to the pandemic and worsening political instability that the ones attempting to come in have multiplied.
Of course they can, but realistically Biden would have to willingly step aside
Biden never wanted to be president in the first place... He got pushed into it by the democrats since he was the only figure at the time that was well-known, experienced, relatively popular, and also wouldn't scare those in the middle. I don't think an 80+ year old man enjoys the stresses of being president of the most powerful conutry in the world, must be exhausting even to someone younger.
we donât even know if biden is still capable of making decisions willingly. if he is so lost on public we can only imagine what is he doing in private or what is done to him
Yep. and lets be honest the ego of anyone who actually wants that job is huge already, trying to get that same ego to accept they can't do that job anymore? Its a tall order.
They were able convice Bernie to step down, they could do it for Joe
Its unfortunate that Biden is the candidate, his answers - if judged by substance - were pretty solid, when you take away the obvious age issues. It really makes you think about the underlying issues in the Dem.party if they couldnt propose any other candidate in these FOUR YEARS. There are so many younger candidates, but of course all of them will bring change - to the establishment most of all.
The last part of your comment is so true. American establishment know if they elect someone younger, there will be change. But afaik Americans collectively agree they need younger candidates
Agreed, but also, a new candidate, even if sharp and prepared, could not be enough to convince more centrist democrats. On the other hand, a younger progressive could mobilise young voters. It is a gamble no matter the choice. Biden already won against Trump, so it is the safest choice if your goal is to beat Trump.
"his answers - if judged by substance - were pretty solid"
You mean like the oft-repeated Charlottesville "fine people" hoax? Debunked both by host Jake Tapper and by Snopes, just a few days ago, yet Biden still fell into the trap. They posted the relevant segment of the transcript.
Who did they have that was viable? After Tulsi Gabbard left the party, they had no one with any measure of poise, eloquence. and eclectic experience (she was military, white collar private sector, and a politician -- she had it all, and the Dems buried her for eviscerating Kamala Harris in their debate.
@@oventi_ I was against the alienating centrist argument in 2020 and I'm against it now. 2020 was an election against trump. most people weren't voting for joe FOR joe, and while it would be a lie to say his presidency hasn't come with some good policy changes, most people aren't excited to vote for joe, especially with his largely unpopular with youth voters lukewarm support of Israel during the currently ongoing g3noc1de
Catch 22: If he would step aside if he understands the situation. If he does he proves that he is sufficiently aware and capable to run.
I do however think that a new, younger dem candidate maintaining Kamala Harris as VP that is a sharp contrast to Trumps craziness and awful policy proposals is their best bet however, many polls show the dems preforming much better than Trump if they change the candidate to literally almost anyone else. Such a sane and refreshing decision would show that the dems are transparent and listening to the will of the people - instead of too proud and in denial of the situation, which most median voters thinking the current situation is insane would appreciate. It would also make it possible for the dems to focus more on actual policy and progress (The Biden administration has done tremendously good things for the economy and in passing lots of good legislation - policy wise itâs one of the most successful 1st terms in modern history) rather than it being overshadowed by Bidenâs declining health and embarrassments.

The Trump derangement syndrome is really something special in the media and online. As a Canadian I find it absolutely stunning what people can get away with saying, even when its possible to point to him having been in power before. Frightening what evils people will do in the name of a possible evil, not seeing that they have become the very thing they profess to be fighting, and in fact even worse.
What about Bush derangement syndrome?
It's convenient to call something "evil", even though that very thing is in no way comparable to the evils of another person. Trump being convicted for sexual assault and having had dozens of assault allegations (including that he raped his wife), now that is something i would call evil. Because you have to have a very pronounced lack of empathy to do this to another person. In comparison, saying that someone is deranged is nothing. And it's not like Trump doesn't insult people with similar (worse in fact) rethoric ALL THE TIME. So at the very least, they are even on that singular issue - which doesn't really have any significance when we are talking about issues like the economy, womens rights and the freedom of the Western world.
@@gclip9883 I think what you fail to understand is people seeing the person, and not the job. If you take away the person and the party and say A and B, A clearly did a better job and B clearly has failed at the job. Now you want to talk about evils, I'd say voting in someone that ruins economies and takes away freedoms is the far greater evil. How many people died due to miss management, or the "modern" actions of putting people in roles that shouldn't have them, or aren't qualified to have them, but they check boxes? Economies crashing beings misery to millions. If people can't see that and would doom a country to failure, and its people with it, just because the media tells them "orange man bad" is the ultimate form of stupidity and evil in my mind.
Don't expect logic or concern about justice, democracy, legality or the United States from MAGA cult voters.

Your mistake is taking him literally and not seriously. The moment you understand that, Trump has always been the better candidate.
@@loganleroy8622 No. Trump said Dems support abortion until birth, but no Dem does. Especially no one in Biden's camp. He said he had the best environmental numbers ever, whatever that means. But not only is that an exaggeration, it's an outright lie.
He gave a pass to corporation in keeping line with environmental regulations, and got rid of many agreements/organizations keeping this in check.
Trump said he had the most secure border in history, but that's inaccurate: it's one of the worst, look at how many people came across and the border-related violence during his presidency.
Biden doesn't sell himself well, but his "lies" are more in line with exaggeration. He said there were no jobs when Trump left, but what he meant was that job opportunities were scarce: which was completely true. He said insulin and senior copays were capped very low, but the real numbers were slightly higher (which is still much better than ever in the last half century). Trump makes things out of thin air, he likes to mix less extreme lies so as to inflate his own image. He's a showman, and he's perfected this trade.

@@CandleWisp Next 4 years will be crazy in America. Three equally mentally unstable guys running for president.
@@CandleWispwould be dictator? That doesnât describe Trump.
My opinion of Trump is almost improving... Seems 4 years away from the seat after having been President has "slightly" expanded his mind.
That and he seems less inclined to drive us towards a new Cold War or WW3 than Biden. He's even less anti-China than he was before.
@@Leto2ndAtreides You remember what happened when Bush sr. tried to stay out of international conflicts? Iraq invaded Kuwait. Trump's reluctance to have the USA show spine will only increase the danger of more war.

Select Gorbachev, it's time
Gorbachov?
@@user-wj9qj6yta15 Accelerationists have started referring to Trump as America's Gorbachov, because he's going to alienate most of the United State's steadfast allies, withdraw from nato, end funding to many united nation's programs, attack american democracy in his attempts at revenge and power consolidation, and effectively cripple American Hegemony.
Which. For people who hate American Hegemony or think the world would be better off without the U.S. as a superpower, they don't see that as a bad thing even if the process will be bloody.
As someone likely to be targeted if Project 2025 happens as written, I'm not one of those accelerationists. But I know them and that's where many stand.
@@user-wj9qj6yta15 If you know, you know.
Id suggest :
Gary Kasparov
Magnus Karlsen
â@user-wj9qj6yta15 I think this is in reference to how the premiers that preceeded Gorbachev were all so old they only lasted a couple years each before dying of old age.
As someone who is more left leaning it was a hard watch. Both candidates are terrible.
Apparent senility? Stop sugarcoating.
his lost on the stage is more than a bit....
Don't worry guys, we finally beat Medicare!
Lmao imagine running a literal corpse
How sad is it that a senile old man is still a better choice that trump
Truth is both candidates are way too old
People age at different rates.
The cross country skier
Jackrabbit Johanson complained that past the age of 100
he had to stop for lunch after skiing all morning before skiing in the afternoon instead of just skiing all day without a break.
Obviously Trump and Biden have not aged as well as him.
To say Trump lost his debates to Hillary is such gaslighting. Debates matter, they're not everything but they do really affect people's perception.
Trump definitely did not lose the debates to Hillary. In fact he basically clocked her. By the same Token, people who thought Trump won the debates back in 2016 are equally partisan. At best Trump had a tie in the second Debate, but was destroyed in the first debate due to his behavior so the series went to Biden.
In this one... well I don't think Trump did great, but damn Biden did so badly that he may have to claim an in kind campaign donation to the Trump campaign on his federal forms.
And nobody watched the Debates with Bush vs Kerry because Bush was going to win reelection
I usually watch these on Nebula but im so glad I caught the youtube notification for this one because that thumbnail is hilarious
Stop lying

Error 404: Joe.Biden is not responding
That debate would have been a great time to get rid of both candidates..
Call them both to testify against Boeing.
Anyone they chose as a replacement will seem like Albert Einstein.
You did rishi dirty in the end đ
At this point the only real hope for the US is RFK jr, maybe we can have a decent president finally.
Way too late to replace him. Why can't Democrats understand this?
The cane in Bidenâs ear got me every timeđđ.
i feel like its overâŠ
some are trying to reason he had a cold and just came back from france, but this debates a big deal and his team shouldve made certain he appears abled in from of the american audience. you cant afford to flub this.
Joe was at Camp David for a week being prepped for the debate. He knew what the questions would be and he still couldn't answer them.
"Replacing him now would be chaotic and divisive"...i guess you ve never been to America lolđ.The whole country is chaotic and divisiveđ
Bit lost? He was completely lost on that stage lol
This is elder abuse plain and simple. His wife and his handlers should be ashamed of themselves
My fellow Americans, let's never vote for someone over the age of 50 to any office ever again.
Spent the last 4 years dismissing peoples concerns about Bidens obvious decline and now everyone is shocked and panicking. Nobody who has actually paid attention is surpised by this debate outcome.
Looking at the US elections from outside, it seems like they are always choosing between bad and worst. Isn't there a single competent person in that entire country that wants this job?
Biden and Sanders should never have ran in 2020. Took away too much of the oxygen from everyone else running
You could wheel Biden out in a wheelchair, and because of his incumbent position alone, he would have a greater chance than all other probable candidates. You need to ask yourself-do you want to give Trump a higher chance to win? If yes, you would've chosen a new candidate. Even if they did it four years ago, Biden would have a higher chance because of his incumbency.
Because of that, there is no way in hell the dems will let someone else take his place. It would be a sure loss.
Amen. And this is an election for democracy, otherwise they would throw it away like they did with nominating Kerry.
Running him will be a sure loss. He isn't capable of inspiring anyone outside of his already loyal base these days. And his base looks willfully ignorant and cultish for shouting down at everyone who dares to criticize their dear leader.
The DNC are assuming they can guilt trip the american people into voting for an incompetent old man. That their fearmongering is a winning campaign strategy. It isn't. The majority of once every four years voters that decide the electoral college aren't going to pick Biden because Trump is a worse option. They tried it in 2020 and they weren't happy with the result. Look at Biden's approval rating in swing states for the past two years.
I'm not saying all those people are switching to Trump. They're just deciding to vote third party or stay home entirely. And it's the DNC's fault for not learning from their mistakes in 2016.
They can wheel out the dead people to vote for him again đ
Kinda feels like we're speeding down the highway with no one at the wheel
Haha, didn't recognize you without your glasses for a second there at the end.
Thanks as always to the whole TLDR team for your excellent work.
Really, the question is, what happens if one or both die before the election?
Before the conventions? The delegates can be released I think and become super delegates, and can technically vote for who they want, though that would create some problems with the fundraising since all of that money was written to the "Biden/Harris" campaign, so unless Harris is on the ticket it would probably meet some legal problems.
Post convention and before the election? Their running mate moves to the top of the ticket, though Biden's name would still be on the ballot.
Video titles with question marks can be answered "NO". There, I saved you time.
THey can't "ditch" him. That's not the way it works. The decision is up to the POTUS.
"Brought to you by Brilliant"
Brutal. I wish we had Presidential candidates that measured up to that, but no.
Trump lost all his debates in 2016? What was I watching then? lol
Lmao she thinks Trump lost the debates đđđđ
Joe being senile doesnât make trumps performance good. But Iâm assuming youâre probably a bit trumpy
Ikr, battered hilary
Trump lost every debate to Hillary. The only ppl who think otherwise are the 30ish% percent of people who drink the Trump koolaid.
"cuz you'll be in jail." Trump won the debate after that historic burn on Hillary
fr, I was like "did we watch the same debates?"
Given the history of politics, there are other ways parties have removed leaders.
I love how they act like no one ever heard of the internet before
âUnwilling to step down and retireâ, where have we heard that before? Oh thatâs right! The Supreme Court Justices Ginsberg that was too selfish to retire early and left a Supreme Court seat vacant for Trump to fill. Old people should not be allowed to serve public office till age 70.
How about a Haley vs Newsom ticket, they are still shit but at least shit to be fully honest.
For while people were thinking a Newsom vs DeSantis race would be in the works. (Although it could happen in 2028). Two influential governors would be a return to normalcy. So be fair Haley was also a governor, although Haley vs Whitmer may also be in the works.
@@threecards333 Many don't like Haley at all, she would be a bad pick.
@@threecards333 You mean Meatball Ron.
You have to give it to trump, its a name that sticks.
The lights are on, but nobody is home.
Can someone please tell me what laptop is that on the desk?
If u use Allen Litchman prediction, to ditch Biden is a bad move since they will lose a one of the thirteen keys to White House.
And let the democrats convention free for all begin
This debate strongly suggests Biden badly needs the Medicare he allegedly "beat"... =O
This is a debate only that's only big abroad. Yes it would make sense to choose another candidate. But it would not work anymore. As far as I have experienced it, nobody in America talks about replacing Biden. There is not enough time left for primaries.
What's the point of the presenter narrating key points during the debate right BEFORE showing clips from the debate with the exact points. Time filler much?
With these two as our choices the country is fucked regardless. Its just a matter of how quickly we want this bus to go over the cliff.
It's downhill all the way to the cliff face...and the handbrake is off...
Not gonna lie, the US is giving late stage Soviet gerontocracy vibes...
that is ironic because they were only really old by low Soviet life expectancy standards since they all died in their early 70s.
I sent Rishi your link for Brilliant. Now we wait đ€
It would be difficult to highlight Biden's lies as I could not understand most of what he said.
The answer is "no", now let's watch the video.
Man even the Brits saw that performanceâŠ
Biden and his inner circle came out and said he would not drop out.
I'm tired of the media fighting the choice of these two parties, especially the Democrats. If the media fought the Republicans on their choice of Trump as they don in Biden, there might be more Anti-Trumpers. The media definitely grades the two on different scales.
I think it's cause Trump feels like he bullied his way into the race despite the party while Biden feels like the party pushed him into that position so it feels like Biden is a choice Trump is an wanna be-Autocrat doing wanna be Autocrat things. Just my guess đ€·ââ
Yeah, Biden's candidacy suffers a lot from being senile (fair) but then Trump almost gets away from explicitly wanting to become a dictator, putting national security in dangers, r4ping, threatening judges and opponents, falsifying his business records, being senile... Which in turn claims the question of why the Democrats can't get a better candidate, it's not as if they expected fair ground. In the Republicans' case everyone knew Trump would sweep the rest because moderates fear the mob, but with the Democrats it's plain incompetence
The trouble is that the Republican membership love Trump, and that hardly anyone runs against or wins against the incumbent in a primary. Therefore, it's Trump vs Biden again...
Exactly. The media remains Trump's greatest asset even when they put on a show of "condemning" him. I don't think there's any candidate, president, or ex-president that's had as much consistent coverage of their every word and action as Trump has been given for the past 8 years. And it's all for profit, they just know any article they write with Trump's name in the title will always get eyes on it. So they'll never shut up about him. And both of them are easy scapegoats for problems affecting this country that objectively have little to do with who's president, and run much deeper in our political and economic system.
Media is consistently critical of Republican choice of Trump. The whole meta discussion regarding Biden is not whether Biden would be a good president upon reelection but only whether Biden can protect the country against Trump. US media was promoting Niki Haley as an alternative to Trump this winter and she did so so in the primaries.
The fear is of Trump winning, so that is counter to the narrative of getting Republicans to drop Trump as Republicans want back into power. (Although i would assert than a generic Republican can likely defeat Biden easily given a lot of Biden votes are anti-Trump rather than pro-Biden).
They definitely should

the pinnacle of democracy, getting to pick between two senile old men while the world is spiraling towards disaster
if they were to replace him what would the process be to find the new nominee in such a short amount of time ?
The problem with the Democrat supporters is that they talk so much against Trump that they forgot to talk about the good things about Biden.
They donât forget; there just arenât any good things.
Thatâs because there arenât good things. The man is a corrupt politician that has been in gov for 51 years. Heâs also a pathological liar, and he even canât raise a dog that doesnât attack his staff.
@@jwil4286Thatâs just not true tho.
Itâs mainly the media, Trump accuses them when they actually work in favor of him by spinning sensationalist politics covering him all day long. Biden actually doesnât sell himself nearly as well
What good things?
At 2:40 they say "Trump lied constantly" please substantiate that claim. If youre gonna say such a thing then please be specific. Which moment in particular is a lie you're referring to
Can't post links here but factcheck has a list of both. A few highlights for "Trump lied constantly" are:
Trump wrongly claimed, âI gave you the largest tax cut in history.â Thatâs not true either as a percentage of gross domestic product or in inflation-adjusted dollars.
Trump made the unsupported claim that the U.S. border with Mexico is âthe most dangerous place in the world,â and suggested that it has opened the country to a violent crime wave. The data show a reduction in violent crime in the U.S.
Trump falsely claimed that there was âno terrorism, at allâ in the U.S. during his administration. There were several terrorist acts carried out by foreign-born individuals when he was president.
They literally gave 5 examples...
@@Meta7 I did too, but my comment seems to have disappeared. Could be because I mentioned a fact check...internet location? (Trying to avoid falling into CZcams's web of banned words)
As an American, itâs embarrassing that itâs come down to these 2.
I'd be happier voting for Stormy Daniels as the Democrat candidate opposite Trump.
So y'all call out Trump for lying but not Biden???
We donât know if heâs lying because we donât know what he said
What did Biden lie about that was a bigger deal than Trump? Review the debate, see who lied more
