    So since the debate all we've been seeing is a bunch of coverage of everyone wanting Biden to step down, but then here's this video "How could Biden have possibly wanted to drop out?" Unreal.

    Guess the mainstream media doesnā€™t have anything to talk about nowā€¦ huh?
  • Them talking about her being a black woman as president is so childish, a persons race and gender shouldnt matter
  • Who do you think led to this? The corporate media, and corporate donors.
  • So now the person the people voted for will NOT be their candidate. How ā€œdemocraticā€
  • @reverb508
    What led to this? I donā€™t knowā€¦ maybe every stupid ā€œnewsā€ network (this one included) talking about him needing to drop out for weeks on end? Think that might have had an impact?

    Shame on all of them and shame on CBS for carrying on with the lies.
  • @travisabr1294
    The media bully this great man out. Propagandists.
  • The media pounched on him relentlessly on his debat, that was their sole focus, they wouldn't let up and now his own party put the final dagger in his back
  • All those people over age 75, in the congress and senate, should also step down too.

    The primary voters voted for a ticket Biden/Harris. When they did so they made their voice known with the knowledge that elderly Biden may not make it through a second full term. The voters approved the backup plan.
