(4,787 posts)It was not clear during the primary that Biden was struggling as much as he was.
If Biden had died or had a stroke and been significantly incapacitated, I don't think anyone here would be arguing about the need to replace him on the ticket, even if the primary was already over.
So we can agree that there is a continuum of incapacity and that there is a point on it where it is acceptable to replace a nominee even after the primaries are over.
People of good faith can disagree about where on the continuum they think that point is, and they can disagree about whether or not Biden is at that point.
But I don't think it's helpful to claim other Democrats who simply disagree with you on that are traitors who are knifing the President in the back.
