So I’m supposed to vote for Senile Genocide Joe’s because “but everyone else would have done it too?” That’s fucking nuts. Biden lost a fuckton of votes enabling Genocide before his blathering performance being passed off as a stutter and a cold. This guy went on TV and straight up said “I am a Zionist” and despite…

Not all countries are shipping bombs to Israel to blow up Palestinians. There's no reason why Biden can't stop enabling genocide. He wouldn't have had my vote even before the debate showed his brain was goop
haven’t seen the movie yet, but it looks so expensive it’s almost a turn off. i’m not how to full put this in words, but when the basic romcom budget gets to 100 million dollars it almost hits an uncanny valley or something.
i really am starting to get the idea that a lot of celebrities conflate ‘being famous’ with ‘being beloved’.
“Her point is hardly legible.”
The political media has done irreparable harm to itself by so obviously covering for Biden for the last four years.
I acknowledge that the Biden administration has *done* things. I don’t think he should step down because his term has been a disaster; I think he should step down because - whether we like it or not - presidential elections are glorified popularity contests, and Republicans do better in elections with low voter…
At 75 years old, I’m not crazy about her or 82-year old Sanders, but anyone would be an improvement right now.
i’ll keep repeating the name elizabeth warren. middle-of-the-road white liberal who actually knows about policy.
What the hell are you talking about? Do you think if Biden steps aside, we just wouldn’t have a Vice President somehow?
If he decides not to run but stays in office, Biden is still the president, and she’s still the Vice President. Al Gore was not banned from running for President simply because he was VP at the time…
Maybe. Fox News at least has been hitting the same “Hunter Biden,” “Biden crime family,” and “Biden is old” talking points for years - none of which could apply to Harris (albeit other talking points could). Hell, Biden stepping down after Fox and the GOP have spent years building him up to be some sort of boogeyman…
Switching candidates now gives them a limited time to smear anyone who goes against Trump.
Biden’s poll numbers were abysmal before the debate. All the debate did was make the Biden campaign and much of the media look like fools for gaslighting the American public and even more foolish telling the lies on why he “had a bad night.”
Of course, replacing a nominee this late in the process is also an unprecedented move, which could easily blow up in their face.
They’re probably frustrated that Democratic voters won’t just swallow whatever they’re told like the Trump supporters do. No politician really wants an informed, rational electorate. They want loyal followers who will believe what's momentarily convenient and then believe something else when it's more advantageous.
Anyone buying that he wasn’t well rested is just living in a fantasy (not saying you but anyone who thinks that). He was at Camp David for over a week before the debate. He didn’t have a cold, wasn’t jet-lagged, and wasn’t “over prepared” (whatever that means). He’s simply elderly and in mental decline.
Unfortunately that’s just the way prime time TV works (though yeah, 7 is a valid option). And also unfortunately, it’s gonna do nothing against allegations if they come out and say “hey can we move this up? Grandpa is worn out”
Yeah, by not doing anything live, it's giving the impression that yes Joe's like that all the time. Or that they're scared he'll mess up, which isn't a good look either!
Here’s the thing: reassuring your nervous supporters that the debate was “one bad night” shouldn’t be complicated at all. Just get the candidate in as many live, unscripted situations as possible to prove that he can still think on his feet and still has the stamina to campaign. Schedule a live, one-hour town hall…
