2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'

[blackchubby38]

So, are any of the Democrats going to apologize to Dean Phillips?

If President Biden admits he has come to the end why remain in office? Should he resign with immediate effect?

The dignity with which he resigns his office bears comparison with the arrogance and lies of a convicted criminal who should also withdraw, from the Republican Party.

I met an American here in Germany who told me he thinks the US is deeply sexist and fears Harris will lose on that issue alone. I disagree, and on one level a younger, smarter candidate who knows more about the law than Trump, and should be able to cut his lies to shreds, could still win through.

Young vs old. Truth vs lies. The future vs the past.

is Harris what Americans want, in so divided and polarised a country?

i think most of us expected the unexpected this time around, and we got it. But we still don’t know what the next three months will produce.

Why should he? No candidate is compelled by law to run for a second term. That's ridiculous.

Competence is the factor at work. Can he manage for the next 6 months.

I understand the reasoning but I think that not running again when he is the incumbent shows the right amount of dignity. To resign his presidency would be to say that he is no longer cognitively fit to make the decisions of the chief executive and I think he is.

I acknowledge he has aged and deteriorated but the skills of running a campaign and convincing people you are ready to take on a full term are different from the skills necessary to close out nearly four years of work you've done.

I personally believe that if he were in a room being briefed about foreign intelligence matters that he would be more than capable of parsing what is important and making sound decisions. I actually think he would do it better than Donald Trump would, because it would be a matter of faithfully listening to what others have to say and understanding the main point. These are things Donald Trump, for instance, has shown no ability to do at his best. I do not think he is the person you want communicating a new vision or starting a campaign that is going to inspire voters. But I really do think that he is capable of carrying out the duties he was elected to perform.

Ridiculous.

You never saw any media saying it? Not about my judgment, but theirs.

You're the one asking now. I mainly see Republicans saying it. Biden essentially announced his retirement at the end of the term. People get to announce retirement dates in advance of actual retirement. He didn't want to quit the campaign, but it became obvious he would receive no support from his party, so there was no point in continuing. With the party's abandonment, he truly had no chance of defeating Trump.

And yes, you can still nag and ask, "But is he still fit for office?" You can ask that about every president constantly, and if you get enough traction, maybe something will happen. But that doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

Also, if he can't finish his term, the vice president becomes president. There's no need to add drama.

The reason why President Joe Biden hasn't resigned from office,is because he wants to finish the reminder of his term and help Vice President Kamala Harris defeat Donald Trump. And i think that she is what most americans want.
