What do people not understand that these concerns are coming from the voter? This isn't some elites that are worried it's from small dollar donors. In one of them, I'm not donating to this campaign anymore until I see some legitimate action. He's going to be a drag on the ticket, whom before that Debate were all outperforming +10 points. What are we even doing at this point? This is infuriating.

And they say women are emotional and weak. But it seems that women are only ones hanging tough and not freaking out over a debate from almost two weeks ago...... And as for voters and small dollar donors, I'm one of them, and I'll be happy to pick up your slack.

Did ANY of them actually quote a doctor on what a cold can do to delivery? Did they quote any of the transcript showing that behind the delivery was actually coherent and good points? Did the NYT think there might be someone amongst the many White House employees there might be someone with Parkinson's who is being treated?

I looked up Parkinson's symptoms apart from tremors. I check all the boxes-- (with the exception of hands at side which is hard when carrying a purse.) No HINT of Parkinsons because guess what. Those are in fact symptoms of being 80 or more, particularly if you have spinal degeneration (who our age doesn't have some?) and peripheral neuropathy. I was actually worried a few months ago and went to the doctor. Guess what he said: spinal degeneration and peripheral neuropathy. And added--for God's sake, you are 80.

The problem at this point is that the media are so dug in, so wedded to their narrative, and so convinced of their position, that it's hard for them to walk it back. At the NATO Summit earlier this evening, Biden gave a strong speech, crystal clear delivery, and then presented Jens Stoltenberg with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And he's been performing this way since the debate. The problem? Nobody is covering it because they're too busy driving their chosen story.

The Democratic ticket is Biden/Harris. The other ticket is Trump/EmptySuit. The choice is simple.

His call in to morning Joe was so cynical. It disgusted me.

Because the Democratic Party is not in a suicide pact with this administration. It's painfully obvious that he needs to step aside or we are going to LOSE THIS RACE! JFC I guess they want to completely tarnish his accomplishments cuz that is what will happen when Trump takes back the WH.YES, we're all going to vote for whomever runs against Trump, but the undecided voter is who we must focus on and those swing state polls are damning. Wake up people!

Well. Like Trump getting him off the ballot in Colorado ,Maine…. The Supreme Court said no because the voters had voted in the primaries for him to be the nominee… this is the same with Biden. Let the voters decide! Let’s compare their policies

and debate them.

Ya know, I will say he didn't look too bad at all at the NATO summit. While I still think there are more than fair criticisms of how they've employed Kamala throughout his term, I'll withhold judgment upon further review. Just wish the administration would have put Kamala in a better position to lead should something happen to Joe.

If trump wins, the rage at the party will be enormous. Joe and Jill specifically will completely upend their legacy.

Trump can't win. Problem is Biden isn't stepping down, so this is the ticket for now. If he does step down, for whatever reason, Harris will step in. Have to attack Trump and MAGA.

Obviously, but Biden isn't even able to do that. It would have been nice if during the debate Or that interview if he would have mentioned project 2025 even once! And he failed to even do that. The bare minimum. People want something to vote FOR something this time around. Asking voters to hold their nose and vote against Trump just simply isn't going to cut out this election.

In answer to the title question: because the mainstream media fashions themselves as the bad guy from 'Tomorrow Never Dies', apparently.
