    If the media can get a presidential candidate to drop out just by repeatedly asking him to then why the fuck aren’t they calling for Trump to step down?

    Because they’re full of shit. That’s why.

      this is what gets me. Even barring the insurrection itself his unwillingness to accept his loss and not cooperating with the handover. Its funny I remember bush junior was known for not working with the clinton administration on the handover coming in which caused them to be unaware of the al-kaida threat and then trump won’t prep the incoming administration. so they are resistant acting properly both coming and going. Myabe the republican party should drop out of running canidates in presidential elections due to incompetence.

      What?

      You think Biden is just as likely to put himself over the country and listen to reason…

      As trump is?

      Look. I don’t think Biden is a good candidate, but even I give him more fucking credit than that

      Do you really believe Biden is as selfish and egotistical as trump?

      That’s a pretty hot take even post debate…

      And BTW, it’s not just “the media”. It’s “the media” that has been defending him for four years, political experts, and even his own party

      The difference is Biden might be able to be convinced to put the fate of the nation over his own position in office. Trump has no such concerns to appeal to.
