This is Hillary 2, a relentless attack by independents against a candidate they are lukewarm to because he's not Bernie enough.

How'd that work out for ya' last time, hmmm?

No one's attacking Biden because he's not Bernie enough.

People are trying to get Biden to step aside because they believe he lacks the basic capability to successfully run as a Presidential candidate. Running for President requires the candidate to be able to articulate to voters the reasons why they should vote for them. Regardless of their political philosophy, their message, their policies - the bare minimum for a Presidential candidate is to be able to do the job of communicating to voters why they should vote.

Biden appears that he is no longer capable of doing that, except during limited time periods and in very controlled settings. If he were winning, that wouldn't necessarily be as big of a problem. But he's losing - trailing in the national polls, trailing in every swing state poll, and running a dozen points behind where he was in 2020. And this is the easier part of the campaign schedule - it will get more exhausting, more draining, more hectic as we get into the fall.

Plus, two weeks after the debate he's still not doing any of the sorts of things that could demonstrate that the debate was a one-off: unscripted press conferences, live interviews, town halls. He's having private meetings with elected officials - and while he's doing a passable job in persuading some of them to stick with him, you're not seeing them come out and go on record that he's still as "sharp as a tack" or similar stuff. Which is a big warning sign. We're in a "show me" crisis, and Biden isn't showing anything.
