American progressive media condemns Biden, urging him to resign for the sake of patriotism

The Biden-Trump debate was watched alone by Thomas L. Friedman in a hotel room in Lisbon, and it brought him to tears, marking a heartbreaking moment in the history of presidential campaigns. The media echoed this sentiment, with The New York Times calling for Biden to step down from seeking re-election, citing his poor performance in the debate.

Progressive and left-wing media outlets have been relentless in their criticism of Trump over the years, seeing him as a danger to democracy. They have aligned themselves with the Democrats in this election, calling for Biden’s retirement and replacement by a more capable candidate. Despite the risks of changing leaders mid-competition, the consensus among commentators is that there is no alternative.

Even media outlets on the West Coast and from the financial sector have expressed similar views, with many calling for Biden to step aside for the good of his party and the country. Suggestions for potential replacements, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, are already being discussed as a way forward. The sentiment across all non-conservative media is clear: Biden’s performance in the debate was disappointing and he is not fit to lead.

The press is unanimous in its call for Biden’s retirement and replacement, with some likening the situation to the decline of the Roman Empire, with a sardonic tone. While the risks of changing leaders are acknowledged, the advantages of having a more capable candidate are becoming clearer. The overwhelming consensus is that Biden must step aside for the sake of the party and the country’s future.
