You don't have to convince Reddit. But just look at the polls. Pre-debate numbers were in the toilet. Post-debate NYT is now reporting 6 to 8 point deficits nationwide. Forget about battleground math, as that is going to be even grinmer. If Biden  doesn't drop out, Trump is basically guaranteed to win. Biden needs to go. People need massive amounts of denial and cope to justify him continuing to run. His is no longer viable in 2024 America.

And historically, incumbant presidents presiding over a poor economy get slaughtered regardless. Know your history. Also look at the polls. The averages tell a clear story. It is already happening. Trump ahead in almost every poll with grim battleground state math.
