there are no other strong options right now
How so? The Rest is Politics identified a few candidates who are more than capable, Gavin Newsom among them.

Is that all you have?

He isn’t some guy who just turned up and started enacting anti-Socialist measures, that’s been far overblown. He has tried to clean things up, and he has done things which I don’t think help him. But, as you can see in the link above, he has been a socialist his entire adult life. His cabinet looks like a mature choice with a good mix of influences, different from New Labour, but also different from Corbyn’s shadow cabinet.
You’re assuming she has been radicalised. And you’re assuming what she’s going to do there. Her overall effect will be nigh-on zero, I imagine.
I mean yeah, maybe? Not sure how though, seems very assumptive based on a place she just flew to. Not sure how she will affect anything regarding the Palestinians.
purged all the actually left leaning members from the party
This is just not true.
Yes, I did; what is she planning to do to Palestinians if she’s going to Israel?
I don’t get this thing where someone makes a comment, you respond that you don’t think they read it, then asks you a question about the relevance and you ignore it and moan instead. But hey, as you were.
Another nutjob the Palestinians now have to deal with.
What’s the relevance of this?
I’d rather than that what we’ve had.
Reform is currently eating into the Labour vote in huge amounts also (thus far, we’ve only seen expected Labou results thus far).
What’s the formula/ratio? Didn’t know there was one like this.
Isn’t 1,000 usually the benchmark?
After he learnt to overtly treat it like a cruel game, he knew he stood a chance. He barely blinks and people lap it up.
If you want to see somebody tap dancing, go to Broadway.
What part of any of my posts has suggested I need entertainment?
No one is saying Biden came off looking like he did well, many in politics have admitted it went badly:

Yup. Insignificant performing pundits.
I’d suggest not ignoring this, but then we are insignificant. Actual politicians are saying this is worrying.
Calls for biden to step down are not significant in the real world, they are baseless epithets repeated on the internet by anonymous strangers or established conservatives.
They may not be “significant”, but you have political commentators (see: The Rest is Politics, former British MPs, a commentator and Scaramucci) thinking it would be for the best.
You may not think it is important that Biden is struggling to string answers together, but I assure you that the public does, of which tens of millions will have come out of it thinking: shit, the Republican cries that Biden has lost it will ring true.
I think your last comment is misconstruing what a lot of people think; I do not have any opinions because of trolls, I have only posted a few times here and spoke to a couple of friends (and listened to The Rest is Politics) about it… it does not look good at all.
He is older than my grandparents than when they passed away, and is less coherent than my grandma was, by far. There is no reason he should be in this position, the Democrats need someone better who can articulate themselves (regardless of any stutter, that is not what I’m referring to) and respond to things they have practiced on in mock debates behind closed doors.
The more this goes on the worse this gets for Biden; September is going to be very worrying for the next debate.
I watched the first ten minutes of the ‘debate’ and had had enough.
I don’t know how many watched the ones prior and subsequent to this, but… 68m people (if I remember rightly) watched this.
The past four years don’t mean much for the forthcoming election at the end of the year when the concerns of people are not being addressed, by someone who struggles to walk and speak coherently.

There are plenty of people worried about this, and calls for him to step down are significant. If he’s like this now, what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s? This does not look good.
You can say: the past four years! as much as you like, it won’t matter if Biden loses, which is a more realistic prospect than it was last week.
He did just fine, and there was nothing incoherent about it
He really didn’t from what I saw, it was awful.
A little bit, he sounded less insane than usual; don’t be surprised if he’s voted in again, with this seen as one of the pivotal reasons why.
Yeah, I can’t see that helping. You want someone to have as much coverage as possible.
