I pay as much attention to US politics as I do our own, more even, for while we have problems (and, boy, do we ever) it does set a body's mind at ease to see they're general to the world. France, for example. And the UK, for a very long time.
And now the USA.
Biden should step down. He was necessary, to defeat Trump, but as long as we thought he had a fighting chance we'd turn a blind eye to his age. But, given his debate performance, we can't turn a blind eye any longer.
He should step down. He's far too old for this. The fact that he's not stepping down is proof of his unfitness to govern. His own interests aside, for the sake of his party, for the sake of the country, he should step down.
Just as there are limits to how old you must be to run for president - minimum age 35 I believe, there should be a maximum age - probably best set as no more than 60, or more ideally, 50.
This is no longer about the Democrats vs Republicans, it's now about democracy vs dictatorship. And - as he's made very clear - not a benevolent dictatorship, dictatorship more along the lines of Putin or Xi.
Biden should step down. There is no shortage of skilled leaders within the party, leaders that would have no problem rallying the masses behind them. His unwillingness to cede the reins, call it a day, is exactly why he should cede the reins, call it a day, it's no longer about him, his fitness to govern, both of which we have good reason to question. It's about maintaining the vaguest semblance of democracy that once gone will be very hard to restore.
