  • The funniest part is when they pivot to Biden not being important because staff does everything…

    Every argument for Biden being the candidate, comes down to Biden having zero power or importance as president. But also trump can do anything he wants if Biden loses.

    Like, why the fuck are we plowing ahead with 34% approval rating incumbent if he literally brings nothing to the table? And if Biden as president is powerless, the only way Trump could be so dangerous is Biden chooses not to act.

    The more people talk about Biden, the less sense he makes as a candidate to voters.

    And getting more votes (in the right states) is what matters most short term. Biden isn’t up to it.




  • A New York Times poll conducted after the debate, which was published on Wednesday, suggested Trump was now holding his biggest lead yet at six points.

    And a separate poll published by the BBC’s US partner CBS News suggested Trump has a three-point lead over Mr Biden in the crucial battleground states

    Him refusing to listen to voters is reason enough to replace him.

    But Joe can’t win without Dem voters. Every indication is he’s willing to hand trump the presidency out of spite if the party doesn’t force him out.

    He’s not fit to be president, even if we beat Trump. We’re stuck with this shit where Biden does whatever the fuck he wants, and rarely agrees with the people who put him in office.


  • If there was one at this point it would hurt the chances of the democrats winning.

    Whitmere has a smaller difference than Biden does…

    She hasn’t been running a campaign or been backed by the DNC?

    Why would she suddenly do worse with those things?

    But this is all just my opinion and not fact.

    It is your opinion, the issue is to get to it you’re ignoring facts …

    I’m not looking to get into a political debate

    So…

    You just want to proclaim your opinions and not have anyone explain why you’re wrong?

    You could just stop commenting on politics, that would help with avoiding political debates





  • Really good article, it sucks people down it’s what they don’t want to hear.

    And I’m not just saying that because their #1 Reason is something I’ve been calling out since the pool came out:

    The basis for this claim was a post-debate Data for Progress (DFP) poll that found Biden and Harris taking 45 percent of the vote against Trump, while various other Democrats — from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — won no higher than 44 percent.

    DFP is a total shit show, like last election we found out the founder was betting on close elections, then using DFP to conduct polls who’s results would be used to influence results so he’d win the bet.

    He was also soliciting employees to participate in straw donor schemes.

    Even before all that, they didn’t get popular for accurate polls. They got popular by doing very fast polls that provide the narrative their donors asked for.

    The stuff DFP didn’t publicize about the poll they used to say Biden was the only shit:

    Even the Biden campaign’s own handpicked public poll suggests that he is not the Democrats’ strongest candidate. Yes, the president received 45 percent support against Trump in DFP’s survey, while other hypothetical nominees secured slightly less. And yet, in some of those theoretical head-to-heads, Trump’s share of the vote also fell; whereas the Republican led Biden 48 to 45, he led Whitmer 46 to 44. In other words, the best poll the president could find showed him losing by a larger margin than the governor of Michigan — who has yet to introduce herself to the national electorate.

    And that same poll also showed that 1) 67 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve as president, 2) a majority of voters are more concerned about Biden’s age than Trump’s “criminal charges and threats to democracy,” and 3) Biden has a worse net approval rating than every single other Democrat included in the survey.

    Biden and the DNC don’t want polls to know what voters think, they want polls that tell voters what to think.


  • It’s a thing.

    Things can literally be “too cute” and it shorts our brains out causing feelings of aggression towards the too cute thing.

    Like, how people talk about eating a babys toes, some people are repeating a saying, some are honestly experiencing the urge to do it because their brains are overloaded with cute.

    Like in Fight Club where Jared Leto was too pretty so Edward Norton bashed his face in.

    It’s not some maladaptive behavior or anything though, it’s just whatever thing you’re looking at is literally too cute for your brain to comprehend.


  • They say your brain imagines these scenarios so that you can try to avoid them

    Not quite.

    Like, there’s a scary amount we don’t know about the brain and how it works.

    But I think it’s a little different than you said. It’s the brain trying to figure out how it would deal if that happened.

    Like, you avoid stabbing yourself by not stabbing yourself.

    But your brain is evaluating if stabbing yourself so you can practice surviving a stab wound would be a good idea.

    Which, sounds crazy, untill you realize most of what humans do for fun involves tricking our brains or bodies I to think we’re in danger. Hell, even the drive to “play” is just tricking us into exercising so we’re stronger if we do have to fight.

    Even tickling is just teaching kids what parts to guard in a fight.


  • Yes. trump is obviously worse, not just because of his age, but because he’s a total psychopath.

    Which is why it’s so important he’s not president.

    And why sooooooo many Dem voters want a better candidate against him.

    Feel free to go demand trump steps down, it’ll be great if he did but he’ll never listen.

    Biden is supposed to be better tho, he’s supposed to be trying to help the country, not just personally become president. And right now the best thing Biden can do is stand down.

    Would have been a shitton better if he said he wasn’t running a year ago, but he didn’t.

    That doesn’t mean people have to stop saying damn near every metric and data point available shows Biden won’t be able to beat Trump.

    If it feels too late now, imagine how it’s going to feel in a month at the convention.

    Edit:

    Be careful though

    The main reason to vote Biden is to stop trump, if you get rid of trump, there goes Biden’s entire campaign and the replacement Republican will definitely win if it’s still Biden.


  • He is often sharp and focused. But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn’t grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people’s names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room.

    Biden’s occasional struggles with focus may not be unusual for someone his age. But at 81 years old and seeking another four years in the White House, the moments when he’s off his game have taken on a fresh resonance following his disastrous debate performance against Republican Donald Trump. The president appeared pale, gave nonsensical answers, stared blankly and lost his train of thought.

    We’re not asking if grandpa can live on his own till or needs to move to a retirement home…

    We’re asking if Biden is up to 4 more years of literally the most stressful job in the country. One that has no set working hours and you might have to react to an international incident past 7pm.



  • In college I was enjoying some recreational activities at a house party.

    Next to me on a couch was this kid who had like low grade cerebral palsey or something. Like, legitimately, he had those arm crutch things Walter White’s kid had. Never asked what it actually was.

    Anyways, he laughs at something and leans back on the couch. And accidentally does one of those back punches like Bruce Lee. Like, where someone sneaks up behind him and he just hits them with the back of his fist without looking.

    Anyways, dude gets me straight in the nose, doesn’t stop laughing, gets two inches from my face and screams

    You just got punched by a fucking cripple

    And just absolutely died laughing.

    He was a cool dude, and that was probably the only time he’s punched anyone in his life, and it was absolutely an accident. But it was just hilarious how he rolled with it


  • Joe Biden has reportedly told a key ally he may not be able to continue with his 2024 campaign if he cannot change the American electorate’s mind about his health and well-being with his next handful of public appearances, the first indication from the president that he understands the seriousness of the damage done by his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in Atlanta, Georgia, last week.

    But Biden also said on a call with White House staff on Wednesday: “No one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”

    He’s got this shit backwards…

    He’s got this outdated view based on boomer logic of what voters want.

    Most voters are under 40 this election, at our oldest we were we teenagers during 9/11. Most literally can’t remember pre 9/11.

    We don’t want a leader that displays strength by a refusal to listen to the public. One that makes up their mind and charges ahead no matter what

    If Biden had came out the next morning after the debate and said that first paragraph at a press briefing. It would have helped his numbers with that demographic more than anything else. And that’s who he struggles with, he can’t afford not to have them because trump has 65 and up.

    But if he just straight up said:

    I fucked up, give me a chance to prove myself or I’ll step aside.

    That’s the type of presidential shit that voters who grew up post 9/11 and have since learned how wrong it was want. Instead of what the narrative has been the last week, everyone would have been hyping his appearances and “giving him a shot” he’d have completely drowned out trump in coverage, but this time for a good reason.

    Like, he’s running against trump, it’s not hard to come up with shit like this, but this is what happens where you stop listening to anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with you. It’s a spiral lots of people fall into when they become wealthy/powerful/successful
