    If he cared about the country, he would’ve already stepped aside, but I don’t see it happening. They’re already trying to excuse his performance saying it was a cold, then saying it was the cold medicine. They’re kinda stuck with him now, but it’s their fault. They’ve been lying and covering for him the last 3 years so they might as well keep it goin.

          Accusing criticism of Biden and his viability as a presidential candidate on “Russian bots” is purely a silencing tactic: a way of dismissing criticism rather than engaging with it by asserting a specific intent behind that criticism that reduces it to a tool of a foreign adversary as opposed to a genuine set of concerns by members of the electorate.
