(14,336 posts)Biden's age has long been his #1 liability and we were at best tied and in some cases behind before the debate. Things have only significantly worsened in the minds of many Americans since then.
I'm going to strongly support our nominee whoever it is; but people are pulling the wool over their eyes if they don't think that debate weakened Biden in the eyes of many independents and moderates we need to vote for us. A different candidate like Harris removes that age penalty we are currently suffering. Yeah, it sucks people are judging Biden harshly due to his age. However that is the current reality we're facing now.
We're not Republicans. We should not become a cult worshipping a single candidate come hell or high water. We have a deep bench. We need to consider what is best for the country and our party. We should nominate the best candidate. If that is Biden, then fine. If it is someone else, that's fine, too.
