Biden looked so frail and incoherant at times that this must be the end of his Presidency very soon.
How have the Democrats not faced this sooner and selected someone else, I don't understand why they have let this go on for so long.
He had to be helped off the stage by his wife and it seems like elder abuse.

I guess you don't understand the meaning of democracy, let's hope biden's administration does.

In what way is killing your political opponent because you don’t like their views and they might win an election, understanding democracy?

It would appear that Biden's even more confused than we perhaps thought, given his comment on the most recent ruling around presidential immunity: “This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law. Not even the president of the United States,” Mr Biden said. With the decision on Monday, he said, “that fundamentally changed”

I'm not sure how it can have "fundamentally changed" when the immunity already existed, but perhaps he just means it doesn't suit the Democrats' campaign?

The immunity didn't already exist.

It's why Nixon had to be pardoned.

Biden isn't confused.

This is a biased supreme court ruling.

I'm guessing you don't realise what Trump will be able to do with this ruling in his second term.

"A dictator on day one"

Is damned right.

I 100% realize what trump will be able to do with this ruling, hence why I said "there goes any opposition." I was simply stating that Biden can use the same ruling to his advantage by getting rid of Trump once and for all.

It's not killing a political opponent it's taking out a national security threat who by his own admission has stated that he will put an end to democracy.

Adam Kinzinger (a Republican ) just said today on CNN that now that scrotus deemed trump immune from anything done officially, it means biden could too...and he could use it now to prevent trump from being able to run, even if it means killing him.

Looks like a few people agree with me...

Don’t be daft. Trump may be an awful prospect but he is a political candidate and the only reason he would become president is because a democratic vote placed him there. Democracy is about accepting other people’s choice is not the same as your own. Biden ‘getting in first’ and killing off Trump doesn’t make him any less of a autocrat than if Trump did declare himself dictator and somehow managed to overthrow all the other arms of government.

It Is Scotus that has undermined democracy here, like the German Enabling Act.

Biden’s stepped down from the candidacy.
