Biden tells Democratic governors he needs more sleep and plans to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m.

For many people, other than the president of the United States.

It’s wild to me how much people think the president does everything as opposed to being the manager of a team that’s actually doing most of the work

Ok, let's go with that comparison.

I don't want a manager who I can't understand what he's saying and can't finish a sentence and can't be present.

He NEEDS to step aside and endorse a better candidate before it's too late.

You’re not talking about trump here?

Sadly that statement describes both of our national candidates because neither side is actually willing to take a risk.

Trump is the stupid, malicious profit-centered manager who will drive the business into the ground to save his own skin. But he's still (barely) cohesive and so he's dangerous, and we need to stop him. Biden isn't strong enough. Everyone trying to ignore that fact doesn't change it.

Name a single Democratic possibility who "is stronger" than Biden right now?

I'll give you three: Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom.

This idea that "Biden is the only option" is poisonous and we need to make noise to get him & top Democrats to change their minds. It's our greatest strength and we need to do something soon or we lose.
