Biden pushes party unity as he resists calls to step aside, says he'll return to campaign next week
My tinfoil hat conspiracy is that because Biden has shown a willingness to go after corporate interests, the money people want him gone. Hence the smear campaign.
Biden may be old, but he's at least wise enough to surround himself with competent people. We can (and should) do better, but more turmoil and uncertainty is just going to drive us into the clutches of fascism.
Is it really fair to call it a smear campaign? It's all out there in the open, we can ask pull up footage or transcripts any of his speeches. It's not like we're all just taking the media's word for it on the man's rapidly declining capacity to remain president.
It's a smear campaign when compared to Trump's behavior. On one hand, we have an old guy with a stutter who (at the very least) is still wise enough to surround himself with competent people. He may forget some things, but if you examine his record these past four years, he has wildly exceeded my very low expectations and demonstrated why he managed to make it to the Presidency.
On the other hand, you have another old guy who cannot open his mouth without telling bald-faced lies and whose mental state is rapidly deteriorating. Not to mention the crimes he's committed. And yet, despite all this, the media is talking about how Biden is old and needs to drop out of the race, and not Trump.
Now, why do you think that is?
