Dems had four years to prep for what may be the last election in US history and apparently they never had a backup plan in case their 80-year-old candidate gets a last-minute health issue. Just breathtaking incompetence, they absolutely deserve to lose against senile gameshow hosts over and over.

I think there was no plan B because any plan B would have been obviously preferable, thus screwing over Biden, his family, and his advisors. They are what prevented it.
It would have taken courage, and there is no courage in Bidenās orbit. The democratic party need to man the fuck up and coup Biden. Electeds need to publicly withdraw support and force him to renounce the nomination.
If he is fine he has 5 days to prove it, easy as pie. Hold a press conference, do five interviews on TV/podcasts. If he cannot prove it, fuck him.

Should Biden drop out, and do you think he will?
- I want him to drop out, and he will.
- I want him to drop out, but he wonāt.
- I want him to stay in, and he will.
- I want him to stay in, but heāll drop out

Have we done a poll on what people think the results will be? If he stays in, Dems win the presidency. If heās replaced, Dems win the presidency. It doesnāt matter
Right, but itās the opposite.

Needs āI have no fucking clue on eitherā option.
Before the debate I was on the Biden is the best chance train. But if more and more prominent Dems are calling for him to step down, then they could be hearing from his inner sanctum that the debate wasnāt an aberration.
Seems pretty easy to solve. Stage some mock debates, which he should be doing constantly to practice anyway. Have some idiot hurl lies at him and see how he does in real time.
But of course that probably makes too much sense.

Biden could have planned to be a long-term president and Dems could have nominated the best possible candidate and the polls would probably still have them at 60% at best to retain the White House.

Biden still apparently does ok at speaking engagements. This whole debacle is 95% on whoever decided to prep him for that debate with a gigantic decision tree of very specific facts and figures. JFC just have him memorize a bunch of canned one-liners like Trump.

He uses a teleprompter in small group settings with rich donors. If he canāt do a fuckign press conference he will just continue to decline and lose the election. Even idiots who donāt follow politics know what an incapable senior looks likeāand those idiots will decide the race. I just watched Fauchi, who is like 83, give a perfectly coherent and insightful interview. The problem with Biden isnāt that heās bad, itās that heās bad and likely in the midst of further decline. If that is incorrect then he could easily prove otherwise.
I donāt care about bullshit talking points about how he can stand in one place and read a prompter. Show us the cards, face up on the table, or fold.
Do an interview with David Remnickāhe has a podcast.
God, I watched like four Sunday shows. Currently listening to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. All these these surrogates are fucking losers. Joe needs to put up or shut up.

A debate watch party in Los Angeles on Thursday night happened to feature Harrisā husband Doug Emhoff, Pritzker, Whitmer and Beshear. There were other high-profile attendees ā by a few answers in, Rob Reiner was screaming about losing and Jane Fonda had tears in her eyes, according to people in the room.

Biden aides plotted debate strategy for months. Then it all collapsed.
Good article that gets into the nitty gritty. Bidenās aides come off like morons.
The Biden campaign ultimately agreed to two debates, insisting the events would be on their terms: There would be no studio audience, and each candidateās microphone would be muted when it was not their turn to speak. Some allies speculated afterward that those rules may have actually helped Trump by reining in his impulse to interrupt his opponent and play to the crowd, moves that appeared to turn off television viewers in previous debates.
And Bidenās aides demanded an unusually early date for the first encounter, in hopes that a strong performance would turbocharge the presidentās campaign ā and calculating that it would give Biden time to recover if he floundered. Rather than turbocharging the campaign, the event has prompted a surge of renewed calls for him to reconsider his candidacy.

Need to reassign some of the aides from tie shade focus groups to keep your fucking mouth from hanging open training imo.
