      Not so much “recommending” as “shrieking and demanding,” but yes.

      Should tell you something, TBH. If Biden was a guaranteed fuckup that would deliver Trump, and replacing him was the only road to Democratic victory, we’d see all kinds of Russian bots stumping for Biden and saying what a great thing he was for the Democratic party, and as a proud Democrat I’m standing behind him and you should too.

        Yep. Russians and Republicans want Biden to bow out because they’re afraid they’ll lose to him. And after all the shit they’ve thrown, it’ll come back on them. You’re absolutely right, if they thought they could beat him without issue, they’d be telling every Democrat to vote for him.

            Agreed. To me, who are the people speaking which strategies is a very notable part of the picture.

            I will say, he’s old as fuck and it’s a problem. I am not trying to deny that part. But the absolute shrieking media hurricane that is currently demanding that he needs to resign first, and that we need to amp up attacks on his performance to encourage that outcome instead of spending any of that energy on Trump, and the strategy of what the Democrats are going to do instead of Biden can get figured out at some later date at a more leisurely pace, cannot possibly be based on anything that any Democrat should be listening to for a nanosecond, let alone repeating and amplifying.
