Why is the Left attacking Biden to quit after the debate, but nobody is going after the CONVICTED criminal Trump?

I have watched features non-stop on from The Young Turks (TYT) which is supposed to be new Left online media as well as from mainstream media stallwarts like CNN.

I mean, for example: Cenk Uygur who runs The Young Turks (TYT) keeps promoting the idea of Biden must drop out of the presidential race, but offers no viable option other than that -- just the vague nothing that somehow a more vialble candiate can be chosen through some kind of process... but for some reason that person cannot be Vice President Kamala Harris, who, by right, is the next in line. I mean, that is why we all elected her on the ticket along with Biden to be his VP in the firsrt place.

The same nonsense is coming from CNN and other mainstream media outlets.

Why is this happening?

the debate were an issue. Then bupkiss. Then the Trump lies meme stuck when Project 2025 spiked and Trump pretended he had no idea.

Why are so many on the Left standing strong with Biden, but no one is defending trump against the new epstein documents?

I've seen an incredible outpouring of support for Biden, including here on DU, and especially from officials on the Left like Representative Crocket, AOC, John Fetterman, etc. and yet barely any news coverage on the trump/epstein documents that hit the public last week.

It's like people are worried this false narrative about Biden's health might turn off possible Biden voters but no one is concerned that trump voters will care about him being a child-rapist.
