Personally, though I know all of Biden’s frailties and shortcomings all the hand-wringing by you and others makes me sick.

Personally, though I know all of Biden’s frailties and shortcomings all the hand-wringing by you and others makes me sick. When it comes right down to it, do you really believe there is a significant portion of the electorate that’s going to change course and pull the lever for Trump over Biden? The polling (I know, I know, the polls have problems) still shows this as a toss up even after everything that’s happened. You do immeasurable harm to Biden’s chances by constantly undermining him with all your “the race is over, it’s gonna be Trump” bullshit”. The election is still over three months away, a lot can happen and the race certainly isn’t over. Trump remains the same high floor, low ceiling candidate he’s always been. Stop helping him! I thought this place was run by usta be conservatives, your collective balls have shriveled just like us always were liberals…
It's the swing voters how might pull the lever for Trump instead of Biden or just stay home - which is a win for Trump.
The Bulwark cannot undermine Biden's chances. Only Biden's live performances can do that. He was terriffic at his March SOTU and he got no bump in the polls.

No, more likely than not they won't vote or skip the President's race. Biden only won by about 50,000 votes in 3 states in 2020. It wouldn't take of Biden 2020 supporters not supporting him in 2024 to lose the election. Over 72% of the voters think Biden is too old for a second term and that includes more than 50% of Democrats. And you don't think that's a problem? Biden and the Democrats (we Never Trumpers know better) who support him are on a suicide mission.
I can’t disagree. My 43 year old son doesn’t like Trump, thinks Biden is too old, so he’s only voting down ticket, in his state. Mt other son, 46, probably won’t vote at all, because he really doesn’t care that much. I think there are a lot of that generation doing one or the other. I will vote for Biden, because he does have a good administration, or whoever may replace him if he steps down ( which he should), but there is not much energy in the Democratic Psrty, and unfortunately a lot of it in the MAGA Party.
1. “Jeez, if Biden is that debilitated, I might just vote for Trump”; or
2. If the Dems are going to gaslight us and stick with a decrepit candidate, why should I bother to vote?”
So yes, in answer to your question, I do know people contemplating giving either a full (by voting for him) or half (by not voting at all) vote for Trump as a result of Biden’s weakness. Anecdotes aren’t data, but they’re not nothing either.

I think there would be a lot of energy in the Dem party if Biden steps down.
With respect, JC, I know people who are saying
1. “Jeez, if Biden is that debilitated, I might just vote for Trump”; or
2. If the Dems are going to gaslight us and stick with a decrepit candidate, why should I bother to vote?”
