As much as I think Biden should be impeached for the disaster in Afghanistan, contempt of the Supreme Court and admitting he won't uphold the Constitution:

A) Pelosi will never let it happen
B) I don't think Kamala would be much better of a president and Pelosi sure as hell wouldn't. Look at San Francisco.

Always look behind the curtain.

What do Republicans get out of demanding Biden resign? His actual resignation, or something else?

His actual resignation gets them very little. Harris is president, and from Republicans' perspective she's worse than Biden. But that is also ridiculously unlikely to happen solely based on the opposing party calling for it.

So what about something else? Putting Biden's competency and fitness for office into the zeitgeist is their better tactic. If the left had its way, the media focus would be on the left fighting the far left for how many trillions to spend. While that's still not a *bad* narrative for Republicans to be pitching themselves in the midst of, Biden's competency... doesn't have an upside narrative right now. At least free stuff might buy some votes. However talk about Biden's resignation goes, it doesn't get Democrats anything, electorally speaking.

It isn't really that, more:
"This president should be held accountable for his offenses."
It literally is. The person behind this has been pushing a conspiracy that Trump won and Biden should be thrown out. She literally wore a “Trump won” mask while pushing this. Let’s not beat around the bush when considering the person we are dealing with. She’s an extremely unhinged individual and her claims are just more unhinged conspiracies. She most likely trying to make another to have Biden removed with the hopes of putting Trump back in office.

I wonder if Trump was still in Power and did the same exact thing (which he would have) they would tell him to resign my prediction is no

which won't happen the only way concevable is if all the line of sucession is exhausted which has never happened and probably won't ever happen

It's like when people wanted Trump out of office, and it's like, dude, we'd be left with Pence, an actually competent man who could probably do more damage to the things liberals desire in general than Trump ever did, and in general he does seem to want to pursue such goals at that.

Well it was either pull another ridiculous sensationalist stunt like this, or self-reflect on the fact that their party has become a festering swamp where only terrorists and insane conspiracy theorists can feel at home; so guess which action Republicans ended up choosing.

"GOP calls on Biden to resign for continuing thing last GOP president started."

It's also rich to hear calls for resignation from the same people who excused the former president's instances of obstruction of justice, extortion of a foreign power to help him win re-election, and that he tried to use lies about imaginary election fraud to steal an election. Also, many of these same people were/are complicit in trying to steal the election.

Let's not pretend these members of the GOP have principles; they don't. Their cries for a resignation are irrelevant.

Well, it's understandable that they're now the party of grievances. They don't have the most popular platform to run on, so turning their party to scream and hate is easy to whip them into a fury.
