    Yeah - I’m calling bullshit at this point.

    This isn’t reporting - it’s just flogging a narrative.

    And I say that as someone who argued for Biden dropping out.

      Why?

      This is how these things happen. You’re viewing it as just political, but for these campaign workers, it’s a lot closer.

      They didn’t just realize Biden was bad. This has been an open an obvious secret for them for a long time. And the dam has finally broken and people are talking

      Everytime someone talks, more people feel comfortable talking.

      There’s no way to stop it once it starts except getting in front of it. The longer Biden waits and the more talk. The more it hurts the party

      Trust is eroding and there wasn’t much in the party to begin with

        I agree, the media and the Whitehouse has been covering for him for a long time but now the cats out of the bag and I’ve heard a couple people say they were covering for him because they feared blowback from the Whitehouse

      If its new/ people keep repeating it, its news-worthy.

      If its reposting/ rehashing last weeks news, then it deserves downvotes.

      If you are sick of hearing the news, maybe log out, take a break.

      But the news is what the news is.
