Besides the very real fact that most Democrats WANT Joe Biden as president, there's the very real fact that it's FEBRUARY. The election is in NOVEMBER. It would be insanity to suddenly dump Biden and start a full-blown primary battle between everyone who wanted to be president.

Screw the polls. They're wrong most of the time. Most Dems do not think Biden is too old. He should NOT step aside. And you and Jon Stewart are plain daffy if you think any of that is going to happen.

Joe Biden is our candidate. Period. Now, you can either go on complaining and pretending there's another way or you can get with the program and make sure Biden wins. Because if he doesn't Donald Trump WILL.

This is what being a liberal means. It's really pretty straightforward. You probably know plenty of them. They just don't brag about it.

Wow.....angry much? I will indeed make sure Biden wins, Trump is an obvious danger. But Dems need to make sure MAGA died with Trump...and that means a 21st century candidate and party.

Angry? You can't even imagine. I've been putting up with this shit throughout every presidential election since JFK. No Democrat is ever good enough, while the Republicans hand us human garbage.

You want another candidate? Then get busy and start grooming one for 2028. 2024 is taken. It's Joe Biden, and every time you supposed Democrats get on your soapbox to tell the country what a weak candidate he is, you show your hand. You're going to make sure Biden wins? How? When? Because you sure as shit aren't going to get it done like this.

Ahh...sweet rancor is so satisfying. Sorry about all those elections. Carter actually gave me shivers at one of his rallies and Obama! Well...

I'm not on a soapbox, I'm just opining on Jon Stewarts show and what I think he was trying to communicate. His wasn't a hit job, it was a warning.

I'll vote for Biden...I pray he wins for all our sakes, but it's going to be close. He IS a weak candidate and shouting Bullshit won't change that. My - and Stewarts - position is it didn't have to be this way. If Biden had made it clear a year ago that he wasn't going to run again, a fresh young anti-MAGA candidate would have smashed them MAGA fu$%ers. Instead we have tired old Joe, tied with Caligula. Spilt milk, I know...but the Democratic party can - must - do better in the future..

If, if, if. Must, must, must. You know where that gets you nine months before the election? Nowhere. You just want to run your mouth off. Well, go do it somewhere else. Pretend you're actually working at something.

Grace Ramona...sorry to crash your party with a different point of view. It's disappointing you chose to reply with insults. We want the same thing. I just hoped for a better, younger thing. I'll leave you be now.

Before you go, Barry, try to remember what you said. That you want Biden to win. There are better ways of doing it than reminding voters of why you're so reluctant.

They pick up on that. You might remember 2016...
