    I like Jon Stewart. I usually agree with him.

    Today he’s part of the problem. I don’t want to be in the position where we talk about losing an election to 'both-sides-ism" and “but his stammer”, because the part where we say “I told you if you prevented people from voting to preserve democracy we’d lose it” is a really poor consolation prize. Get back to slamming sleepy joe once this thing’s over, okay? #binaryChoice

      The problem is that most of the people calling for 46 to step asside dont propose a replacement. Its a destructive request to remove something without a plan or proposal to replace it. Stewarts proposal to have a convention have it decide on someone and have them square off against joe is so far the only constructive suggestion anyone with a platform has made thus far.

        At this point it is just dangerous to propose alternatives. If you don’t understand you are part of the problem. It’s like republicans realised Trump is also a walking corpse and is not going to distract enough voters from Biden, and switched strategy to suggesting there should be an alternative to Biden.

          Or, just say “Blue, no matter who” and hit the snooze button for four years. Show your support when its needed, but demand better until then. Remember the danger is a return of 45, not that Joe didnt win.
