George Clooney urges Joe Biden to step down as the 2024 Democratic nominee for president in a new op-ed:

“We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the… pic.twitter.com/EArMreTtMk

I'm very VERY skeptical of mainstream media suddenly jumping on the "Joe Biden needs to drop out" train as if he magically turned 81 overnight and hadn't been like this since before the primary.

[thethingiswhat]

And not reporting at all about Trump and the verbal diarrhea coming out of his mouth.

[iznanassi]

they cant say its because he alienated his base being a proud and condescending racist lol

[ionadelfina]

It's because we've reached a point of no return with that debate performance, they can't deny the obvious mental decline anymore.

I'm not saying Joe Biden isn't old as fuck...

But also the NYT's reporting on this has been disgraceful and delusional. They did a hit piece on how a Parkinson's expert went to the white house implying it was for Biden and the white house had to explain lots of people are treated there and it wasn't for the president.

[tanglespiders]

and also the fact that they aren’t saying the same about Trump, who’s only a couple years younger and is absolutely senile

like, if he said he tied an onion to his belt, it would be uncharacteristcally cogent

[mhfromnh]

it was the style at the time

Trump is also old as fuck but he could deliver his message at the debate. It was a racist, fascist message and CNN did a heinous job of not fact checking a single thing but at least Trump looked... lucid.

[tanglespiders]

Personally, I don’t call constant, unhinged lying, talking about “black jobs,” and saying people want to kill babies after birth is lucid - more like racist grampa living in a world of his own imagination - but I also knew better than to watch a debate hosted on a network run by David Zaslav, so I hardly have firsthand knowledge.

[hallyujah]

You were smart not to watch lol. And lucid or not lucid, Trump was able to communicate his message. Yes his message is about "Black jobs" and saying leftists want to commit infanticide but tbf rn that's putting him on pace for about 335 electoral votes.

[syphilisdiller]

They are bending over backwards to get the other one elected.

[hallyujah]

The same media that did wall-to-wall negative coverage on Trump for an entire month around his trial and convictions? Nah, they're doing wall-to-wall coverage so Biden drops out which we should all be thankful for since it's literally the only chance in hell that Trump loses.

[hallyujah]

To be fair, Biden just had the worst debate performance in the history of Presidential debates so the media is always going to treat that as a seismic event because it is!! Although ya both the mainstream media and the Democratic establishment acting like "omg this is completely brand new information!!!" is annoying af.
