Iām not saying Biden hiding his condition is the worst thing that a politician has done, but political decisions are very high-stakes, so itās not surprising that really misguided ones, or ones that were made by someone with very different values from yours, can have terrible consequences. But politicians are supposed to have some vision of the public good and try to pursue it. Itās an expected failure mode of politics that sometimes a guy gets in who has a bad vision or who pursues it unwisely.
Itās just different for a politician who knows that heās not up the job and canāt run a decent campaign to hide that fact until he can entrench himself in the nomination. Itās a political sin, not a moral one. Kind of like how a defense attorney keeping someone guilty of murder out of jail is morally bad but the right thing to do, and forging evidence to keep an innocent person out of jail would be morally good but a serious violation of legal ethics.
All delegates to the National Convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.
Really makes you think
I donāt think heās āhidingā his condition as much as heās just in denial. He thinks he can do the ābigā things, like foreign policy, well, so why sweat minor things like losing train of thought or forgetting names. Obviously, his āteamā shares this assessment, which happens to be strongly consistent with their self interest.
A major problem with his decline is that itās forcing him to rely on 50 years of canned politician speak instead of actual engagement with issues and questions, and voters subconsciously recognize that and hate it. (It was a weakness for Biden even in good times.) Trumpās strongest ability is that he sounds āauthenticā because he says a lot of crazy, stupid shit and people, especially dumb people, respect that. Itās how the worldās biggest liar becomes a "truth teller. " Because Biden is in decline heās holding on to verbal hand rails that make his condition appear even worse than it is.

If thatās what he thinks, I think heās right and that he would be a better POTUS over the next 4 years than whoever the Dems would replace him with. But, whatever, heās still doing to lose and any replacement would also lose.
I mean this is all the product of two eras of reforms. The problem with rules, in law and elsewhere, is they often fail to serve their intended purpose in unforeseen situations.

I donāt understand this āconditionā stuff. Yeah, maybe heās hiding a dementia or some other diagnosis, but is there any documented proof of that? He acts just the way Iād suspect some 81 year olds with a lifelong stuttering problem to act
Heās simply too old to run for president. I donāt see why we have to complicate it with unproven assertions of dementia or brain damage. Unless Iām wrong and there is proof

I donāt disagree, but I think the views of normy voters need significant consideration. As uninformed as the average āundecidedā voter is, almost everyone knows age related decline is inconsistent with the presidency. Thatās why itās been Trumpās game plan for his entire campaign.

Our eyes are proof, hard not to come to that conclusion after 6 months straight of him looking completely lost every opportunity he gets.
Why does it say in the text that Schiff is calling on TRUMP to end his reelection bid?

No can do, Jack, it would be undemocratic to do what the vast majority of the people you represent want you to do.

For sanity reasons I have mostly been staying out of discussions about whether to replace Biden.
My initial reaction is that he should probably step down.
However I am also confident that at least a few red states would try to find some way of keeping the new person off the ballot. And probably succeed. Even if itās not a state that Biden would win, it would fuck downballot Dems
Being scared of hypothetical ratfuckery should not dictate Demās choice, but practically speaking, this may negate any advantage that Harris etc. may have over Biden
