Hey, don't blame the people trying to fix the mistake that was putting all their eggs in one 81-year old's basket

Even Obama himself doesn't think Biden can win this. No career lasts forever.

I love how it's always "year-round shorts guy". Such a relief. I'm a year-round sweaters guy.

What idiot Democratic politician would say right now that they want to be the next candidate? If Biden isn't replaced, that's a carreer ending move.

Yes! Boycott early access

Like talking to a brick wall

I'm literally not. I'm describing to you that voters can be like that, and you keep repeating those voters are wrong and they "should" base their vote on policy instead. I'm not "personally focused" on YouTube clips, just telling you many voters can't ignore those public appearances where Biden comes off as incredibly old - which he is! - and that the debate was such a disaster because it made it impossible to shrug off Trump's main attack line against Biden any longer. Keep telling voters they're wrong voting the way they do and you're setting yourself up for disappointment. And setting the country on the road to fascism again.

If Trump wins, I'm blaming the Democratic Party establishment for their complacency, their gerontocracy, wasting the youth vote potential by supporting Israeli atrocities, and not following through on increasing the minimum wage if you want to focus on policy. Policy isn't everything. We all know most of Biden's policies are popular, but if they can't convert that into votes, they're still going to lose. This time, they can't say they didn't see it coming.

I'm kinda done now, it's like talking to a brick wall. Biden is polling terribly and blaming voters they should look at policy and overlook Biden's mental decline isn't going to change that.

Stop telling other voters what they should consider important. There are many people out there who will base their vote on what they see in the news, whether you like it or not. It sucks that Trump gets a pass from his base for things that Biden's base won't accept from him. It sucks that Biden is not as charismatic (anymore, if you thought him charismatic before) as Trump is to his base. It sucks that millions and millions of voters don't know shit about policy and base their vote off of 5 second clips on repeat at Fox News. It sucks that both candidates are record settingly old, but only Biden gets flak for it.

But that's how it is. You can't tell people who to vote for or what's important.

Welcome to politics, bud.

If he loses November he can't deliver any of those tangible results. Of course policy matters, but getting elected is important too.

Elections are won on getting people to turn up and vote for you, simple as. If independents stay home because they can't bring themselves to vote for an 81 year old showing signs of dementia, he's gonna lose.

I'm a politics junkie, don't throw me in with the general public. I watched the entire thing. I'll watch commentary and listen to podcasts about politics at least two hours a day, every day.

But what he's done is not the point. I'm talking about his chances in November and they are not hopeful.

The debate was a disaster not because he fumbled his words a bit. It is because for years Trump has been calling Biden this weak old senile man, Sleepy Joe, etcetera, and everyone on the Democratic side was able to pass it off as Trump exaggeration and trolling.

But in the debate, suddenly there was no denying it. Biden is losing it. Now those Trump jabs actually hurt because we know there's a truth to it. The whole world watched as Biden was asked a question on abortion (which should be central in his campaign, a sure winner after Roe v Wade was killed) and shot himself in the foot turning it into a story about illegal immigrants coming in and raping young women.

How do you fuck up like that. And how do you recover. I don't want Biden to give it his best shot, I want him to halt this slide into fascism and he's failing at it

We've all seen the debate. Biden was already losing in the polls before October 7th. Then the whole rift over Palestime happened, the disastrous debate, Trump getting shot at. It's a train wreck and Democrats are in denial about their own chances. I want Trump to lose which means I want the Democrats to put up their best candidates and not some frail old guy. That debate should have them panicking. He shouldn't have run at all. He should have made more work of setting up his successor in the first place.

Downvoted but not taking part in your silly poll

They have to speed the fuck up. Compared to most other countries, US election campaigns take forever

(chanting) Step down! Step down!

Reddit is Fun stopped working.

SCOTUS: Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?

Mehdi Hassan lays out the irony of Republicans saying they don't condone violence and want to pin this on Biden:

What the fuck are you two smoking?

Scrum does not teach three questions since 2020. It is not a part of scrum. Oh, and the "daily scrum" was never called "the standup" in scrum

They know. It's a different article and also a different situation. The article doesn't apply

Wait, but Steam doesn't have Android games, right?
