This pains me no end after a lifetime of subscribing, but the @nytimes has lost its way at a time when the need for exemplary journalism is at its greatest.

I, too, am heartbroken by the NYT editorial asking P. Biden to step down. Not measured, not balanced, pure knee jerk reactionary behavior. I’m canceling after writing the editor as to why.

I have thought for awhile that we should have a younger candidate but switching candidates now will just give the election to Trump.

My father is a little bit younger than Biden. He has cognitive decline, it's bad on some days and not as bad on others. Stress makes it more likely to be bad.

I suspect part of the reason why the right has gone after Hunter Biden as much as they have was to try to trigger episodes like we saw at the @petergleick

beginning of the debate. We've seen similar things happen with Trump though. Both of them are too far gone for the job, but one of them is evil incarnate and switching candidates now will give evil incarnate the white house.

Biden MUST be the candidate if Trump is to be defeated, switching candidates is something that should have happened long before the primaries but it didn't, and it is too late to switch now.
