President Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race and has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. 
 
What does everyone think about this?

If they replace Harris as the nominee I do not foresee a Democratic presidential win.

I don't live in the US and I agree with the fact that Biden would have struggled immensely with the pressure of campaigning for himself as well as doing another term as president IF he was elected. However, it would be nice seeing a female president. Judging by the other comments, I don't think that would be happening.

Well, solid disclaimer on behalf of Americans: our opinions are just that — opinions. While I understand that you don't live in the United States, I think it's important for those in other countries to look into what's going on and not take words of random people on the Internet at face value. 
 
I can make a judgement about the new British Prime Minister based on a comment I saw on Facebook. But that wouldn't really be fair.

TW: Suicide 
I don't want to be alive to experience the next four years. 
 
I didn't know I could lose even more respect for a majority of our country at one time. As someone who is nonbinary, assigned female at birth, disabled, and uses government services, I'm hated just for existing.

My level of rage cannot even begin to be described. At least not in English, maybe there's some fancy word for it in another language... but yeah.

I'm not American and have never been there, but I am disappointed and concerned in the result. I try to keep up with what's going on in the world by watching the news, so I've seen clips of debates and rallies and stuff (I'm sure there's plenty more that I haven't seen), and I just can't believe the result.

 I'm not American either and I feel disappointed but not surprised by the results. I know a few other people have expressed the same feelings.
