Only Biden can drop

This is a true statement. Biden won the primary. The delegates are pledged to him. Biden is the one who has to decide if he drops out.

We are living in a democracy right now. The fascists are attempting to takeover our democracy. If we didn't have democracy there wouldn't be an election.

It is still democracy. It doesn't matter how old the candidate is.

Democracy is still alive for now. That's why voting matters. Our flawed democracy is still our best chance at adverting fascism. Which is why the fascists want to take it away. Giving up early gets us nothing. So keep fighting.

You're the hero we needed and the hero we deserved.

Biden has already committed to serving four more years.

The discourse around Biden exiting the race is moot because the only one who decides if he continues is Biden. Biden is still running so nothing changes. Biden is who we need to vote for to keep our democracy.

Biden had a bad debate performance. It was a missed opportunity to pick up new voters. Biden demoralized his base. But we're still stuck with him, because there is no external mechanism to stop him from running.

The most effective tool we have to prevent the christo-fascist takeover this November is voting. The debate did not change that.

I switched to MSNBC. Biden sounded great at the watch party right after the debate. We could really have used that energy and audible clarity during the debate.

Please stay strong. We're all in this together.

That was disappointing.

Trump got mic cut once at the start.

Trump is becoming more incoherent. Biden at least is staying consistent.
