"[T]he sentences that coil into themselves before collapsing . . ."
Well said! I heard at least two clear examples of this in comments Biden made on July 3.
I am becoming so angry with mainstream media figures such as Lawrence O'Donnell, Nicole Wallace and part-time pundit and full-time sports nerd Joe Scarborough who are belittling Biden skeptics and defending an undemocratic Democratic presidential campaign that never should have been allowed to happen.
Perhaps Biden's cognitive decline was being concealed by insiders, but what's always been clear is that Biden uses his irascibility and "tragic" family history as a shield to prevent unwanted questions and as a sword to intimidate critics. He did that to warn his advisors off from the topic of Hunter's efforts to cash in on his last name. Now Biden is an angry old man yelling at fellow Democrats to stay off his turf.
I don’t think this has to do with Biden. In my opinion, it has to do with his wife and family. She has been enabling this from the beginning and keeps telling him he’s doing great. She needs to be the one to stop this and she won’t, she likes the spotlight too much it seems. It’s really sad. At this point it’s a story about a human being, a man in decline and the unwillingness of his closest friends, family, and allies to step in. As you said he doesn’t see his decline, and his family won’t intervene. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think he’ll quit unless they enact the 25th amendment. Which would be awful for the man.
So many democrats make this about Trump, but it's not about Trump at all, it's all about Biden and his inability to execute the office, which has become too obvious to ignore. It DOESN'T MATTER who the opposing candidate is, it's really all about who is in the office.
As a politically naive college graduate in the summer of '74, I'd followed the Watergate investigations (not on the Internet, obviously!, but as well as I could at the time) but it seemed clear things were coming to a boiling point. Then the Supreme Court ruled against him, more damaging informtion came out, a group of senior senators visited the White House and said, more or less, "it's over". Nixon announced his resignation on 8 Aug 1974 and flew away the next day.
Biden seems to have dug in. This is a huge error. We need some senators and representatives to go to the White House and tell him that it's over. Hopefully it happens before the 50th anniversary of the first President to resign from office.

That's the sentence I was going to highlight. Well said, indeed.
I was looking for a way to avoid Kamala Harris, but there isn't one. Let Biden resign and let the chips fall where they may.

Agree and, what forces are being pressed on them, including from Biden?

Not sure how you square this with Biden's latest "I'm staying in, damnit" protests. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
