Sorry to see you in panic mode. FYI, ordinary people did NOT react to the debate the way the "pundit class" (which is driving the panic) did. Here's a video that proves this point. I hope it helps you understand the dynamic being created by these talking heads to make money for themselves and for the networks...

I disagree Steve. I and many of my friends, all loyal Democrats and Biden supporters, were and remain very troubled. If he remains in the race, we will vote for him because we believe in democracy. Biden has been an extraordinary president under challenging circumstances. But unfair or not, his debate performance raised serious questions that he and his team have not excelled at answering. I say this while condemning the media feeding frenzy.
Well said. I don't think his team can answer these questions, though. That isn't fair to them to say, "Gee, obviously the debate prep team failed!" No, I think they were loyal and did their damned best!
In the ABC interview with George Steph., Biden said himself that he took responsibility for the failed debate. But then he went on to say that:
* Only the Lord Almighty could come down and convince him not to continue to run. (!)
* All is well as far as Joe Biden is concerned. If I lose, I've done my very best and that is all that matters. (!)
(!) added by me and not part of the paraphrase :-).
Actually, no, the ordinary people did react to the debate in a negative way. 74% of the American public now believe President Biden is too old to be effective as president. In the current polls, the President fell another 6-9 points. At this time in 2020, Mr. Biden was ahead of Trump by 10 points. Now he’s behind 10 points. I see little chance he can be elected. I am not in panic mode. I am in realist mode. And I do not appreciate your condescending remarks.
So you’re saying that the day before the “debate”, which it was anything but, by the way, President Biden was perfectly capable of doing his so far, excellent job of running this crazy country but the day after that debate, he was a blithering idiot? What planet are you living on? And now that the dust has settled, so have the polls, for whatever they’re worth today anyway.
Good points. What I keep thinking about is that if I were in Joe's place, and if I were feeling ill, or wretched, or exhausted, and the scheduled event were going out to dinner in the evening, I would have canceled the gig. But if Joe had cancelled the debate gig because he hadn't slept the night before, or whatever, imagine the fallout for begging off! He was on the horns of a dilemma -- two options, neither one obviously better than the other, and he had to pick one. I wish he had postponed the confrontation with cfdt.
No, actually, I didn’t say that at all. There has been concern about President Biden’s advanced age throughout his presidency. He will be 82 when inaugurated and 86 when his term ends. It is legitimate for people to question how capable he still is of performing the job. The Biden campaign set up this entire debate scenario as a way to show the president is vigorous, engaged and on top of his game. Very sadly, that did not happen and the debate had the opposite effect and strengthened the president’s detractors. That’s the planet called reality that I am living on.
The Biden horse has been forced against the rails, but is running strongly. He'll break away from the pack and take the lead. Class and training tell the tale.
Respectfully, who do they think better positions us to win? I hope we can all realign behind Joe Biden and encourage everyone we know to vote for him. That is how we win. He’s been on fire ever since the debate, he’s the best president in our lifetimes.

Just get him in. Naturally, he's not going to get any younger... but his brilliant team is there. And eventually, what's a Vice-President for?
Perhaps the You Tubers aren't being guided by the media? their loyalty to a good president is encouraging and heartwarming.

My entire family and all my close friends are all democrats and Biden supporters… who also believe it’s time for him to step down

There are probably 1000 Democrats who could take up the mantle and be very effective in communicating the message!
