Jim Clyburn Is Right About What Democrats Should Do Next

[DigitalDrifter]

Voters are now more concerned about Biden's age than Trump's criminal charges, and the so-called threats to democracy.

President Biden faces a problem with no solution. No interview or speech will convince a doubtful public that he is still fit to serve. Perceptions of him had years to harden. In June 2020, 36 percent of voters said Biden was too old to serve. By 2024, that number had roughly doubled. In the Times/Siena poll conducted in February, 73 percent said he was “too old to be an effective president.” In the April poll, 69 percent said the same. In the June poll, 70 percent. After the debate, 74 percent.

They had their chance with candidates like RFK Jr and Tulsi. Instead they blacklisted them and expelled them from the party. They deserve every bit of misery as they watch their own party implode.

"The debate made it impossible for the Democratic Party to continue ignoring what voters already believed about Biden.

And make no mistake: They were ignoring it. After calling for Biden to step aside in February, I had a lot of conversations with top Democrats about Biden’s age. They universally knew it was a serious, perhaps lethal, political problem. So why didn’t they do anything? They thought the criticisms were unfair to Biden, who has been a good president; they thought the problem was unsolvable, because he would not step aside; they thought there were no other options; and above all, they thought Donald Trump’s malignancy would overwhelm fears of Biden’s infirmity."

RFK is no more morally fit than Trump.

The problem for the statist left is that their ideology of mob rule/eventual dictatorship is unacceptable to normal folks. Another problem is that Joe Biden is more popular with the statist left than Kamale Tamale is. They got Gavin Noose'em which I found out Commiefornia fired him but like a like an epoxy coated boomerang he just came back & stuck. The statist left is bankrupt regarding viable POTUS candidates. Jumpin' Joe Biden is, tragically for them, all the blueies have left for a POTUS candidate. Check out the Red/Blue poli-map below to see how serious it is for the statist left.

"Around 70 percent of voters believe that Biden is too old to serve as president."

That is scary--- 30% of the people out there think Joe is OK and are fine with an 86 year old president who already at 81 is acting senile, frail, withering, and vacant?

Joe is the 9 to 4 president. OK, he had a cold. Now what if an enemy attacks us at 4AM while Joe is "under the weather?"
