“Trump is a felon. He is a pathological liar. He is a menace,” wrote the Vermont senator. “But the national conversation is focused on President Biden’s age and capacity. Only he can change it.”

    The time to discuss alternatives was the primaries they are over. The majority of democrats chose Biden and he is their nominee. Going back and changing out candidates after the primaries, or Biden resigning from his campaign will actually hand Trump a victory period.

    We did this back in 1968 when the democratic nominee dropped out he lost. He was also polling higher than Nixon and was probably going to be him but then the dems changed their nominee and history took place.

    This is it. We either stand by our democracy and push to make it better through voting in better leaders or we let Trump and MAGA take over. I’m not crazy that Biden is the person that democracy rests on; so it goes.

      Its too bad that you guys are even in this situation (I’m Canadian). I really feel sorry for him but someone really should have been more transparent about this issue prior to letting it get this out of hand. I hope everything sorts itself out, best of luck down there.
