For me, it's not political. I saw what I saw and see what i see. I had to turn away from the debate for a few minutes because of shock and sadness, (being a died in the wool liberal and supporter of Joe) and the GS interview was only slightly better. But you are right, it is not age. My father who was 93 when he died was much more coherent and capable than what I have been seeing from Joe. So to me it's visceral.

So to my point though, do you think Joe should resign immediately?

Yes, he should watch the debate, look at the polls, release his health reports, and resign. It's for moments like this that we have a VP. Though I think Bakari is right, when has a old white dude ever given up his power?

Come on liberal you know that isn’t enough. He has to have another exam tomorrow than release the results. And if they are done then you have to get an “independent” doctor, maybe trump’s doctor and then release those results. If those don’t say anything bad then that doctor has to hold a press conference and be convinced why Biden can’t run.

He’s always been completely straightforward with his medical reports. If there were something to report he would.

Yeah I know. It’s a feeding frenzy. There is nothing you can do right now to get them to stop. Only thing is time and trump won’t shut forever.

Maybe Biden needs to release his long form health report.

You know this so I’m stating the obvious: he could have a physical in front of the nation and the people who want him to drop out wouldn’t change their minds.

Let the feeding frenzy continue.

Ok I appreciate your intellecutal honesty. A lot of people have been saying 'well, I think he can be president for the next 6 months, but not the next 4 years' which, if they think he's as bad as they're acting he is, I don't see how that is in good faith.

Yes I think he has done an amazing job as president, but he is, right now, he is in terrible shape and therefore a terrible candidate. And for all the talk of policy successes, if we lose this next election, there will no longer need for any policies. In fact the Chevron ruling took care of that anyway.
