Yeah? I don’t think so. The Dems need to stop slitting their own throats over the media-/pundit-/paranoid congresscritter-created issue of Biden's competence and reassert their support for him. He’s running against fascism. If the choice in November is between Fascism and Democracy — and it is — then why does it matter whether Biden has dementia (he doesn’t) or can’t think straight (he can) or stumbles over words (he does, but so what) or can’t do the job (he can)?

The Tя☭mp machine is not run by geniuses; the beings they have available to attack Biden-Harris (Russians, oligarchs, friendly dictators/fascists, Republican legislators) are the same ones they’ve used in the past, and these people can’t distinguish shit from Apple butter. If the Dems can’t beat these cretins in November — even though their opponents are traitors and racists and fascists — because not enough voters prefer Democracy over Fascism, then we’re truly fucked. It’s time for the Dems to wake up and get their collective shit together.

I think you're too dismissive of the competence of those running Trump's campaign. As for the competence of those running Biden's? That debate was their idea, and we saw how that went.

I aspire to be able to present to the voters a choice better than senile or authoritarian. And considering the stakes, and the level of attention being paid by the unengaged voters who will decide the election, I think it may be wise to give them a better choice. It wouldn't be the first time voters somewhere voted democratically for an end to democracy.
