    Hmm, Jon Stewart has a lot of influence, like it or not. If he can get behind a movement to get Joe Biden to…

    Stewart also noted he was not calling on Biden to step out of the race, but asked if Democrats could “open up” a larger conversation about their candidate.

    Well, shit. We’re stuck with Joe, aren’t we?

      He’s saying the bare minimum is an honest discussion and evaluation of Biden.

      We’re not even getting that, were getting “buckle up buckaroos”

      And being gaslight about valid doubts about an 81 year who just set the record for oldest US president ever is fit to go back to back…

      I didn’t think there was ever a realistic chance of replacing him, honestly. We are indeed stuck with Joe.

      But I appreciate that Stewart acknowledges these concerns rather than trying to gaslight us about it.

        Has literally anyone ever said that Biden is awesome and will be amazing and there are no issues? Nobody is gaslighting anyone, we just don’t want Trump to ruin the country in completely irreversible ways.

        I don’t think anyone seriously is claiming Biden is without issue. Only that now is too late to call for replacing him.

        They are basically the “blue no matter who” people. I’ll probably be one this election too, considering the alternative.

          I’m not ‘blue no matter who’ I’m 'third parties mathematically cannot win the electoral college so I will vote strategically for whoever has an actual possibility of beating Trump, then down the ballot I am more free to vote with my conscience.

      We were stuck with him a year ago. Unless you can turn back time and install ranked choice voting before primaries.

      Thinking otherwise is delulu.
