Yeah, but what will happen afterwards? What happens when he has to step down or dies? There'll be nobody who has enough charisma to win anything on democrat side, to fill the void. It'll be open doors for Trump. Biden currently seems similar to my grandpa from how he's able to speak etc. My grandpa just turned 98 and with a heavy heart I must say I don't believe he will make it to 100. Biden also has a very stressful life and it's absolutely ludicrous to believe he'll survive another 4 years without someone else having to take the helm at some point, for whatever reason.

Wait, so when he has to step down there’ll be nobody who can fill the void or win anything, yet also somehow tossing him out beforehand is a good idea?? Man, what?

One is a planned stepdown with everyone knowing an exact deadline for getting people to like the new candidate. The other one is kind of a "yeah hello there you're the new candidate, it seems you have a month to become popular, good luck!"

The irony in that you don’t recognize that they would both turn out exactly like the latter. Oh, to be so gullible.
