    It’s elder abuse, plain and simple. People are using this old man to remain in power. It’s all they care about. They obviously don’t care about the country

      I think this narrative reduces Biden’s own complicity in this. Should the people around him be pressuring him harder to step down? Absolutely. But he’s not so far gone that he can’t make his own decisions and be accountable for them. He’s said he would only drop out if “God Almighty” came down and told him to. That’s entitlement and hubris on his part, not abuse.
