More than half of Democrats say Biden should end his candidacy. Overall, 2 in 3 adults say the president should step aside, including more than 7 in 10 independents.

    He’s definitely a rapist, no doubt about that. Appreciate you linking the case, too. But just because his being on Epsteins flight logs isn’t blowing up in the same way Biden getting pressured out of his campaign is blowing up, doesn’t mean the media is trying to get Trump elected. They’re advancing their own interests, for sure, and those interests are inherently capitalistic, but to say or infer this push to replace Biden is originating as a right wing media campaign to get Trump elected is just nonsense to me.

      I did not say or infer that. I’m only responding to the “no rape kit = no rape” statement. No perspective on media coverage or fitness for presidency is intended to be inferred.

        Sorry, you’re right. The original person you responded to was pushing back against someone saying

        Ask yourself why the question on every MSM article is about bidens age instead of trumps pedophilia, then you’ll see why we like to blame the media

        I didn’t even say that, it’s likely the rape happened, but without tangible evidence it sounds like every allegation against him. Testimony is simply more allegations and his voters won’t believe it. FWIW, he is already a civilly convicted rapist and it didn’t move the needle at all.
