2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'

The media will not stop piling on until Biden leaves the race.

Meanwhile, they have no qualms about Trump being the Republican candidate.

Completely agree,it's 24/7 nonstop with the newspapers and news media piling on Joe Biden. But those same newspapers and news media aren't for calling for Donald Trump to step aside.

Looks like you are progressing from stage 1 to stage 2

This article makes a good counter-argument.

"But some critics seem shocked that the New York Times, for instance, isn’t acting as a partisan organ for the Democratic Party. That wouldn’t serve the interests of the public, however, it certainly wouldn’t serve the interests of the Times — and if the past two weeks are any indication, it wouldn’t serve the interests of the Democratic Party anyway. The moment the Good Guys act like they have all the right answers — and that they are even entitled to tell “noble lies” when it suits the public interest — is when they start to become hard to distinguish from the bad guys."

A very thoughtful and fiery response from President Joe Biden.

It's telling that nothing in that letter addresses the key question, which is why should voters believe he is capable of doing the job for another 4 1/2 years. It's all very backward-looking. I haven't seen a single Biden defender address this question. Apparently, we are all supposed to just ignore the elephant in the room.

It is a sad, possibly tragic moment for the US, when a proven liar, convicted criminal and someone who promises a day of dictatorship is even running for the Presidency with support from a party he has, historically, never been part of, with a compliant media whose focus is not on the threat posed by Trump and his agenda, which after all contains policy commitments that most Americans don't want.

At the very least, vote Biden to get Harris, in year one or two. Was that always the agenda? Consider the way in which Hillary Clinton became the candidate, a decision made long before the Primaries. The only question might be, how soon after the Inauguration can Joe be convinced to retire?

That's the job of the campaign. No one is ignoring Biden's age. It's the only thing anyone is paying attention to.

Exactly. If Harris the replacement candidate, the succession is already assured.
