The question that nobody is asking is who is pulling Biden's strings cause he struggles to open a pudding cup, walk around sandbags, and shake hands with people who are present.

The fact the lockstep left are not clamoring, pushing for some else is very telling.

If they were going to replace him, they would have done it by now. The election is in less than 5 months. That's not enough time for a brand new campaign to get started and gain familiarity and trust with the undecided voters. It would be the equivalent of handing 20 to 30% of the electorate to Trump that would otherwise, theoretically, be up for grabs. Plus, throwing away the incumbent advantage would be silly at this stage of the race.

As far as "who is pulling the strings," the truth is it doesn't matter. Biden as a president is what he is at this point. You either like what he and/or his string pullers did enough to vote for him,  or you don't.  Whether he personally is making the decisions or not makes no material difference.

It very telling, I agree. There is no Obama (young,  charismatic. Intelligent, likeable politician) in the democratic party right now.
