    What I don’t understand are the calls for Biden to step down from the NYT but no calls are made for Trump to step down.

    The media is so soft on Trump, lulled by over-exposure, desensitized to his lunacy so he gets a pass too often.

    If you see the corruption of our institutions, voting for gop will accelerate that. For a hope of a reversal the only option are democrats. Imperfect yes. But there’s no choice.

      Lots of people called for Trump to step down in 2016 but I think most intelligent people have lost all faith in the Republican Party. For that to be heeded, it would have to be raised by voices within the party, and Trump’s vicious attacks against his critics make that very unlikely.

      That said, yeah it should have been at least discussed after his felony conviction I think.

      Trump knows what he’s doing, and his base supports it. Telling him to step down now is a meaningless act.
