So Joe Biden had an off night, and now some Democrats want to dump him? Insane.

[Wicked Blue]

This makes me so angry I could spit.

Joe Biden is a great president. I stand by him 1000%.

The right-wing-controlled media, the MAGAt party and the Russians manipulating our media with propaganda are behind this massive hatchet job on our president. They are in all likelihood rubbing their dirty hands with glee.

Please, fellow Democrats who are wavering, don't fall for these manipulations. We are better than this. We are smarter than this.

I'm not surprised President Biden had jet lag, with his grueling schedule. All he needs is a day off and a good night's sleep, and he'll be up to speed and beyond.

1. I'm not one for backing the fuck down from MAGA fuckstains. They can all eat shit.

[CincyDem]

2. Yep. No doubt we need to win in November but bring fair weather friends ain't a good look. n/t

3. He returned to the US two weeks before the debate.

I'll observe that the FIRST excuse offered was "he had a cold".

[W_HAMILTON]

13. So, you don't trust Biden and his team? Are you calling them liars?

Hey, we can play that game too!

And it can be both, ya know.

4. My suggestion

Before we all start getting mad at the Democrats who are allegedly wavering, it might be worth waiting to find out who they are. Other than Lloyd Dooggett, I still haven't heard any names being named among all the innuendo and rumormongering by the press.

5. THIS!!!

8. Oh good lord.

[Progressive dog]

10. That is a bad joke

right?

7. ...an off night that "confirmed" for many what they already thought of him. His age is a problem

that many can't get past. That's unfortunate. I think Joe Biden is an accomplished President. He exceeded my expectations. I don't care about his age. He's an elderly man but I don't think means he's incompetent or bad for the job but many do, many people whose votes we need. His age is an overwhelmingly disqualifying factor for many. That debate, unfortunately, did nothing but further the belief that he is too old and therefore can't handle the job.

9. 'Jet lag'? The travel he referenced ended 13 days prior

To the debate. I don’t think President Biden should drop out of the race but this is just a nonsense excuse. If you are in a hole, first rule is stop digging. Anyone on his staff that though that saying the President was so tired from his international travel that he almost fell asleep on the stage 13 DAYS LATER, need to be fired

11. It would be like benching Jordan or Brady in the championship game after a staying tied after 1 quarter

[Music Man]

15. More like benching Kirk Cousins in the 3rd quarter.

And instead of playing a championship team you're playing the Chicago Bears and down a couple touchdowns.

12. President Biden did not have a good debate and stumbled over answers however

if he can just answer questions going forward i don't believe most people will keep asking him to withdraw. I'm 100% supportive of President Biden, but i would hate to see two more debates like that. The week before, i had an argument with a progressive friend who claimed Biden was too old, could not speak properly anymore. That perception has to be dispelled before the most important election since the civil war.

14. I've been on DU for several years. I've never even considered putting someone on ignore.

Today and yesterday I’ve put 3 people on ignore. I’ve been personally attacked and threatened. Why? Because I questioned why individuals kept posting anti Biden MSM articles. I seriously wanted to know what that was about. Why keep DU. Stirred up with this crap rather than push for unity and moving forward? If they aren’t trolls, which I don’t think they are, what’s the point?
