@NL, The issue never has been about 1 meandering debate performance. Doubts about whether staying the course with Biden date back 2 years. The reason no one has spoken up is due to leadership’s bunker mentality that every elected official understood would marginalize anyone who spoke out in public. I believe what we’ve recently seen from the Press reflects having reached a critical mass, wherein, given the stakes, journalists felt compelled to fulfill their fundamental obligation of preserving our democratic republic.

But it's significant that the loudest voices saying Biden's gotta go are the pundit class, not the general public.

@NL, Given what Trump is serving up, I believe a big part of the problem stems from this being such a close race. To be clear, while I understand polls, per se, are not to be trusted, when they trend similarly over a period of time, though not predictive, I believe we benefit by viewing them as instructive.
