I get it, Biden is old and that’s a problem, but why doesn’t anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein’s Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can’t remember common names?
Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

I mean, both trump and biden are genocidal lunatics so they should both be in prison, along with anyone who excuses them.
I think you’ll find that basically everyone on the left would like for Trump to step down. But it’s a waste of breath to actually voice it.
everyone is kind of giving snarky answers with a couple helpful tidbits in between but the true answer is:
trump is polling well. current polling indicates that trump is doing good enough at what is expected of him, which at the moment is simply running a campaign that will beat the democratic candidate.
people only really start calling for dropping out en masse when polls start to significantly falter because it’s an indication that the candidate is no longer running a competitive campaign.
I can’t believe how far down I had to scroll for a genuine answer. Thank you. Have my only upvote in this thread.
Yeah but the polls didn’t significantly falter, they’re still statistically tied with only a margin of error shift since the debate.
This isn’t an organic moment of partisan reconsideration. It’s being pushed by the same folks who were already loudly and obnoxiously telling us about how they don’t like Joe and threatening to vote protest or skip voting because, shock of shocks, nobody primaried the sitting president and risk sowing division right before an election where the other candidate is Hitler’s inbred pet mango.
People are pretty divided and strongly set in their beliefs. Most of the things that come out of Trumps mouth mean I’ll vote for a shrubbery if it is the only other choice
… but I do also think Biden has done a pretty good job and would like to see more of the same, with a hop to the left

Consolidation of US media. Billionaires will burn the world down rather than cede an inch, and it’s their narratives that get amplified.
Because being a fringe lunatic insurrectionist fascist is forgivable. Left or right, everyone either assumes Trump is so bad or so good that he is beyond criticism.
Same as it ever was. No one, left or right, expects the Republicans to change or get better.
Because you keep making salacious claims that can’t be properly sourced instead of focusing on provable arguments.
It’d be wasted breath, really. Trump will never step down, because he’s trying to remain out of prison. If he loses, then there goes any chance he had at pardoning himself for his numerous crimes. So he’s not only the far and away favorite Republican candidate, but he’s also highly motivated to stay in the race for personal reasons. No appeal to his sense of patriotism will work to get him to step down because he has no patriotism. He’s in it for himself and himself only.
Biden, on the other hand, is just the default Democrat guy because he’s the incumbent, and the party figured that’d be enough to win, and so haven’t been trying very hard. And that has everybody terrified, because if he loses, then we get another 4 years of Trump, and probably never get to vote again. Basically, people are calling for Biden to step down because the stakes are way too high to fuck around.
Those are virtues to his voting base, if he can get away without accountability for all that, think of how much he can fuck over the people he claims to not like (ignore that your face is just as edible to the Chester Cheato)
Because Trump won’t listen. He’s a narcissistic asshole and doesn’t give a shit as long he has money and power.
People are calling on Biden to step down because Biden isn’t a huge fucking asshole.
Firstly, foreign nations interfering with our country wants chaos. Trump is chaos but they will latch onto anything to sew discord and craziness.
Second the Republicans don’t care they are voting for Trump period or against democrats period there is little to change their mind. Conservatives don’t have to do something to win they have to hold every one and anything back.
Thirdly, the left is critical thinkers who are trying for better so there is always dissent or people criticizing/arguing the best way to do a thing causing lots of bad will. Doesn’t help we don’t have a left party and have a middle party always trying to court to the right.
Lastly, there is tons of could been better should have done better. Democrats and DnC sucks. They have a bunch of old fogeys holding onto power and their donors want people who won’t change things to much. Doesn’t help the corpos where use to having zero lights shined on them under Trump and they can do whatever. Where as even if most of it was toothless Biden actually did a little bit and said a few things that upset the corps
Ok everybody. New plan. Everybody vote for me. Here’s my platform. Fuck EVERYBODY!!! Equally. No racism. No discrimination. You ALL get a middle finger to the face. In fact, fuck the donkey, fuck the elephant, my party emblem is a big middle finger. The fucking party. Don’t you want to join the fucking party? I know you want to join the fucking party. You know how hitler had the hitler salute? Well we have giving people the finger. Thats our partys gesture. In fact, do two middle fingers! Double up, mother fuckers!
And my campaign promise? I will fuck up this country at a slower rate than these two old geezers. Actually, first day in office, my first official act as president will be to give both of them the finger.
My second act will be bacon. Just…just bacon.
You’ve got my vote. Im not American but you can rule over my country too and give our band of useless cretins the finger too.
Man, I need me a US passport just to vote for you
that’s not how anything works.
Trump’s specific faults are irrelevant to the calculation insofar as they are profound, and they are legion. Anyone who doesn’t understand that he should never hold the reigns of power is damn near irredeemably ignorant/hopelessly deluded. Ideally he would keel over and land in a trash compactor.
The 2 year age gap between the two is hardly the point. If that’s what you think those calling for Biden to step aside are focusing on you’re not understanding what the issue actually is.
I can only speak for myself. The reason I think Biden should drop out is because I. DON’T. THINK. HE. CAN. WIN. If we need to discuss whether Biden’s downfall is fair, unfounded because of x, y, or z, the product of unscrupulous conjecture, etc., etc., ok. Ultimately it hardly matters if in the end the remaining conclusion is still that I. DON’T. THINK. HE. CAN. WIN. Biden is infinitely more desirable than Trump, but if he can’t pull off a victory it’s more important to remedy that than barrel forward into calamity because “I thought it was clear he was going to be the nominee”.
Genuinely, I don’t know that I could take another Trump term, let alone the prospect of this looming fascism taking root. I would rather roll the dice than play a hand that I absolutely believe will lose.
We can disagree on this. This is a complex situation, and the stakes are high. I’m not going to pretend that I can see into the future. Whatever happens I’m hoping for the best.
They are always projecting, covering, and making you look away. Most of us are saying trumpet should drop out, but his cult followers are being told what to believe by their “news” stations. Really, both should have dropped out before 2016, but here we are, with two geriatrics hoping for the best.
Because his supporters support him to “fuck the liberals” they don’t care that trailer trash will get fucked harder under trump
I call for him to drop out…of a boeing.
his jet is a boeing.
Maybe they have a door plug by his desk?
Might be more effective to make him stay in it, all the way down
We should try both… For science.
you mean to start the experiment by cutting him in half? i am in 😆
In the name of scientific accuracy, absolutely. Can’t go having inconclusive results, can we? Now I know one might be inclined to split him top and bottom but I posit we do left and right.
Now I know one might be inclined to split him top and bottom but I posit we do left and right.
so how about a compromise and splitting him in 8 parts along all three axes?
More opportunity for experimentation, I like it!
I have access to a cleaning/cutting/welding laser. I would like to do the vertical cut… that too is for science…
It’s not science unless you’re using fancy equipment during the practical experiment!
Have you seen the cost of those things? (Or what they do to rust?)
Because he’s winning.
The people calling for Biden to drop out are doing it for one reason: Because they fear Biden won’t win.
It has nothing to do with how moral Biden or Trump are or are not.
