      Ultimately the problem with Biden wasn’t his age (although that was a contributing factor); it was that he wasn’t going to win.

      Also, Harris is not as blonde as Hillary, and Hillary barely lost, so I like her chances.

        “the ultimate problem with paper isn’t that it’s white; it’s that it’s thin.”

        Biden’s problem was that he was old, out of touch, and forced upon us by the DNC. Harris has energy. I may not agree with her fully, but she is a solid contender against Cheeto Benito.

        Fuck Trump.

          The worst part is that almost everyone was telling the DNC it was the wrong call, and they ignored people out of fear that they would lose. I fucking hate the DNC, but I hate the RNC more.

          I thought Biden had no chance to win before the debate, but the debate wasn’t even the killing blow. His campaign was utterly and undeniably dead after the media response to the debate. We can acknowledge whatever other flaws he has or what else might have contributed, but that’s what I believe was the point of no return.

          And yes, fuck Trump.

      Biden was too old three days ago and is three days older now.

      I’m delighted that we have a better candidate now.
