He's not the greatest man for the job, but he is less likely than his opponents to surrender the country to its enemies.

Neither Mr Biden nor Mr Trump should be nominated by their respective political parties. We the People of the United States of America deserve better.

Even his own party realize he is too old and suffering from dementia. Less than half of the Democrats want him to run. This is truly embarrassing. They have had long enough to find a successor, They only have themselves to blame when we end up with 4 more years of Trump in the White House.

"Let's finish this job"
And what job is that - hastening the downfall of a great country? Expanding the war in Ukraine? Selling out the country to billionaires?
Whatever it is, no good will come of it.

"Let's finish this job"
Sounds more like let's collapse the US economy and way of life.
You guys still have some time before he will be reelected.
dagon
And by design. Once again Americans are presented with the Hobson's Choice of supposed free and democratic elections.
Sad also to see Bernie Sanders has already endorsed Biden and encouraged other democratic socialists to do so as well.
stormcrow
If, as some contend, that it boils down to a choice of 2 evils, then I prefer to choose the guy who does not have a teenage crush on Vladimir Putin.
That's just plain nuts.
EFD
He’s too old, too moderate, too white. Yeah, we heard that before and then he went out and beat Trump like a rented mule.
The voters cant stand him. He’s too removed from the issues. He’s got dementia. And then Democrats added seats in the Senate and governorships. The vaunted Red Wave turned into an ungovernable 5 seat shart.
Inflation coming down. Gas prices? Down. Unemployment? 50 year low. Wages? Up Ukraine is still free.
His likely opponent is going to face 3, maybe 4 felony indictments by the end of the summer, is on (civil) trial for rape, and tried to overthrow the government.
The next likely one just enacted a 6 week ban on abortion, allows permitless carry of guns in public, lives in constant fear of gays, immigrants and “the other”. Oh, and he is as likeable as an STI.
One every single 70-30 (or greater) issue, he’s on the wrong side.
So, go Joe. He gaffs once in a while. But he is the man to put a stake in the heart of MAGA fascism that is a cancer on the nation.
And he is going to win.

I'm with Joe. He knows what is at stake.

Reluctantly, it’s either Joe or Kamala….no one wants Kamala…even Bernie would be a better choice and he’s radical socialist!

Multiple GOP candidates ran against Trump in 2020, and they didn't hold debates either. We're they scared children?
The answer should be quite obvious: A party holding debates would seem to imply the incumbent is flawed, or unfit for office, and would negate any advantage the incumbent has. Any political party would be stupid to allow debates between incumbents in challengers at the presidential level.

Biden's done more for the US than any president of late, and all good. And that's even with all the GOP trying to stymy his every move (and failing). Proof of how the GOP has been accepted was their debacle in trying to reclaim the Senate and BARELY getting the House despite all the gerrymandering and Trump support (of course, we know it is BECAUSE of the Trump endorsements they lost the big races). bass4funk and others are just bitter and angry that they will hold their hands out to accept what Biden has given them, then turn around and blame him for it after claiming they got it themselves. And of course, against Trump Biden will win easily, as before, and that fact infuriates the GOP even more.
Antiquesaving
More guns, I agree the Reps are for that.
Less choice?
No that is the democratic party and Biden, the goal is what you are seeing in Canada, freedom of speech now replaced by force speech, history replaced by feelings or erased.
Forcing the woke beliefs on children at a younger age and if a parent's beliefs do not fit with the new narrative, then investigate and threaten removal of the children.
Forced pronoun use, dubious racial theories forced on the public, math is Racist (funny oh that racist math doesn't affect Asians), equality is not good but equity is now the word of the day.
Racism is bad only if it affects Democrat voters, with the top Ivy League schools now officially blocking Asians because they are too good and Biden's nominees to lead the education sector all backed the blocking of Asian students (we are talking about American citizens Asians).
Chicago youth go on a rampage, the Democratic mayor says it isn't their fault it is the system, Biden administration openly backs this comment.
violence is so bad in Chicago, Portland, Burbank and other Democratic run cities that even Walmart and Target are pulling out yes folks Walmart were an overweight man in only flip flops and a thong with a parrot on his shoulder can go shopping and no one even bars and eyelash, is pulling out of these cities because they are too bad even for them. And war more war more war spending.
Goodluck America between Biden and Trump you have little good on the horizon.
I will stay here in Japan and hope the craziness passes and we avoid getting sucked in.

I am astounded that the Democrats failed to give there party faithful a choice of potential candidates.
Respectfully, Joe Biden has on a number of occasions displayed signs of age related cognitive impairment.
Prompting, I suggest all candidates contending for such globally recognized broad powers responsible for implementing and enforcing policies both military and economically be willing to submit to a thorough independent health check.

No, its not, but my point is you're calling Democrats cowardly for doing what the GOP did. I don't think it's cowardly, it's smart if you're a political party.

Yes, it will, and another Trump defeat.

If it's Trump, Biden wins in a romp. There is nobody who didn't vote for Trump in 20 who will vote for him in 24 because of the attempted coup that he orchestrated to overthrow the government in order to overturn the results of a free and fair election that he lost. The fact that he is likely to be a convicted felon on election day does him no favors. A speculative prediction, but I think a 7 million vote victory is the floor, not the ceiling on Biden's margin of victory.
If it is Rock-star Ronnie (Now, WITH spoons!) it will be a harder job, but ALL of the issues favor Biden. Abortion rights, Voting rights, Gay rights, Mass Gun violence, Racial Equality, Environment: 5 issues that hare seminal to women, minority voters and younger voters. Governor needs a spoon is on the wrong side on ALL of them.
Does Joe stumble on his words once in a while? Yep. Do people wish they had a different choice? Probably. But against the alternatives: A narcisstic sociopath and/or his mini-me, Joe is the clear choice.
He has gotten more accomplished in 2 years than Don did in 4 (or would have in 8). He is a fundamentally descent person. He is not the leader, nor the member of a cult.
It's a pretty obvious and simple choice.

Trump did manage to increase the National Debt by $7 trillion.
Antiquesaving
You can go back years here on my comments I disliked Trump and still do.
But how can you support Biden?
I will take a shot that you are ethically Asian.
Biden actively supports the blocking of Asian Americans students from being accepted into Ivy League universities because they out perform others or more precisely other "minority" (but also whites but that is ok for Dems), the Biden administration does this openly even placing those that were opposed to the challenges by Asian Americans to this discrimination ( lets be clear the reason Asians do better and would be far greater in numbers in Ivy League schools is because they study 4 times more than other minorities yes 4 times more).
And for this Biden is fine with penalizing them by blocking their education.
Why? Because they are not guaranteed Democrat party voters, but blacks are.
Compared to.
Again don't want Trump but is Biden any better?
Lets hope one of the parties find a better candidate.
Antiquesaving
If Trump is the Rep candidate, then the Dems could put lipstick on a pig and win, the Dem votes with the Anti Trump independents and Republicans will insure that.

“Look, I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else,”
Yeah, then he was a bridge out of the American carnage of Trump's idiocracy, but now he's a bridge to nowhere because, like many old men, he cannot admit the toll the years have taken on his body and mind and is rapidly becoming unfit for purpose, but the self-regarding career politician in him won't allow him to quit. Biden was never a man of principle like Bernie Sanders, but built his career by being a political weathervane, a fatal MO that has driven many working-class Americans into the unloving embrace of the MAGAGOP (that now doesn't know what to do with them all). Biden has fallen into the trap that the aphrodisiac of power lays for all mortals and mistakenly believes he has a tail wind whereas now he's just too old for the job.
“Watch me.”
The nation is watching and the majority can't stomach the thought of a Biden vs Trump rematch, two incoherent tired old men fiddling while the country burns.
“It’s time to finish the job. Finish the job.” (Echoes of Borisblather - Get Brexit done!)

One thing’s for sure: this’ll be… “interesting”.

The same people who kept screaming Trump was "unfit" for office are now supporting this elderly abuse to continue.

spot on. The U.S. is in major decline. But all is good Joe is at the helm. Wink wink.. Yes will support him no matter what. Biden just made a new commercial to run again and it’s full of lies that the legacy media won’t fact check. Must be nice the run on cruise control knowing you’ll never really be challenged. The sad thing is the left has no clue that all that power will be used against them one day. Then they’ll say, “ how did this happen?” Sheepish peeps that believe all the media feeds them.

I was raised to be proud of the US and the prosperity and freedom of speech we enjoy here. Our government, for all of its faults, insures these things. Furthermore, I was raised to believe that for 100 years we have fought the Russians and they are not to be trusted. All it took for me was the Helsinki Summit on July 16th, 2018, where Donald Trump openly endorsed the word of criminal over his own intelligence agencies, for me to realize that Trump is a Manchurian Candidate and will surrender to the enemy until there is nothing left to surrender. The choice has been clear ever since.

"Let's finish this job" ... of what? Of screwing up the country?
An NBC News poll found that 70% of Americans don't even want him to run again -- mostly due to his age. (I don't want him to run again either, but other reasons.)
So if 70% don't even want him to run again, and he goes on to "win the election" with "81 million votes" again, lots of people are going to raise some serious eyebrows. Very understandably.

Most of us in US don't remember fighting for 100 years, including in WWII with Russia, that suffered enormously at the hands of the Germans.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in America or in the world that isn't demonstrably worse since he became president. Not one thing.
And statistically, if he is re-elected, he's very likely to not even survive his second term at his age.
He's showing clear signs -- at least early signs, if not actually beyond that -- of mental and cognitive decline.
I saw it with one of my uncles. Within two years of even just the early signs of it, he was gone.
And then we'd end up with Kamala Harris as president -- and she's just a joke. She can't even string coherent sentences together when she speaks, and unlike her boss, she doesn't have age and dementia as an excuse.
If the Republicans can't beat this cognitively impaired geriatric patient whose administration has been one of the worst in recent history ... then they don't even deserve to exist as a party anymore.
Unless the Democrats cheat. (Should the word "again" be put at the end of that sentence?)

At the end of fiscal year 2020, the debt was $26.9 trillion. Trump added $6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020, a 33.1% increase, largely due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and 2020 recession.
FY 2021: $1.5 trillion

If you follow up the 1st question of “Do you want him to run again?” (No, not really for a majority of respondents) with a second question “If the GQP nominated Trump, will you vote Biden?” The overwhelming answer from Democrats and independents is “Oh, HELL YES!”
When faced with a choice of Trump or “not Trump”, the electorate is going to choose “not Trump” by a large margin.
If the question becomes one of “Forced birth, anti-gay, book-banning, xenophobic bully, or the other guy?” “The other guy wins.
