The Joe Biden Presidency II : He's too old...or something like that!

I don't know if it will be but I think to your point of engaging young voters, I think that too do bigger legislation or at least attempt bigger legislation that has a chance of getting their attention and somewhat impacting their lives

 

Does politco have an idea how this would be pulled off. That is what annoys me about this. It is more everyone gets a unicorn talk.

 

Ezra should either name those “elected democrats” or STFU. He has been on this tangent for a while now. He even backtracked at some point and not he is back at it. He is basically looking for confirmation bias at this stage.

 

Well remember, the elites are also not hearing the base say we are fine with Joe. So the 1% percent who will be fine come what may want to make a call for the 99% cause they know better. Yeah let's do that.

 

All of this should have happened during the midterm. It is too late now and even talking about it only serves to weaken support and belief.

 

But that's an issue. Do you give in and promote the 40something whelp they want? Sure, Clinton and Obama and Kennedy were ready. The rest? Nit so much.

 

Don't forget, he was in Europe 12 days earlier. Jet lag.

 

And for someone who supposedly had a cold: not a single sniffle, no runny nose, no tissues, etc. If you can't think clearly or function effectively at the very end of a supposed cold, it's probably not the cold that's the problem.

 

Its not a question of whether its the media's problem. How about, its the media's job. If the media chooses to talk about and analyze the debate for two weeks afterward, it sorta becomes the media's job to ... you know.... analyze what was said in the debate, no?

 

^ And following up on that point, has NBC and ABC gone full right wing? They seem to have an unhealthy obsession over the Republican convention. I mean, 90 Palestinians just died in a recent Israeli attack (Hamas numbers, but still...), but let's show 24/7 coverage of people taking turns sucking Trump's dick and not even mention the bombing once.

Get a clue about your viewers' interests!

 

We will continue to see this until November and I doubt it helps.

Biden has not just been having difficulty with extemporaneous speaking. He's also been struggling to read speeches off a teleprompter. Here, he mistook text promising a 5 percent cap on rent increases for a cap on rent increases larger than $55 https://t.co/oxNxe3lip7

Listening to that right now. It's very depressing.




edit: Until a few days ago I had never watched a Bulwark podcast. This is the 3rd I've watched. What strikes me is that they are saying, literally sometimes, the same things I have been saying. For example, I've mentioned several times Biden has hit the floor of his support. In this podcast linked here, Ezra Klein just said Biden has hit on "the floor" of his support.

 

These can of hit pieces will continue. It's up to Dems to give them no air. Every mistakes is magnified ten fold, while when there are no issues, no talk. Like how they covered inflation.

 

Do you think Biden will be physically and mentally able to be an effective president four years from today?

 

Biden speaks like one of your text-to-type posts.

 

No, but it doesn't matter to me and most posters here.

Unfortunately it may matter to enough voters to lose him the election.

 

And also factoring-in how he walks and the need to shut down at 8pm, I'm pretty sure an AI robot can carry out all aspects of his 2024 campaign better. And then Biden the human can focus on running the country. Win-win.

 

Exactly.

And if people think the best possible candidate is someone who will not be able to do the job, then we have already lost.

 

That's the problem with the two-party system. It gives us choices like "Sure, our guy sucks, but he doesn't suck as much as your guy."

A lot of the time people vote for the lesser of the two evils, and this is no exception. However, in a worst-case scenario, the country will survive 4 years of a doddering old man, and life as we know it will continue onward after that. The alternative is a permanent change in direction down a dark, dark path that will change things forever, and not in a good way.

Dems need to STFU and get behind Biden because the alternative is not some version of Mitt Romney, John McCain or Bob Dole.

 

First, you need to convince other people of the worst-case scenario and that your guy, who probably won't be functioning well in four years, assuming he is still alive, is a better option. That is not a winning message.

 

The press realized Democrats are little bitches. They can be bullied into abandoning their leader. This is a great ad for those that want to believe Dems are fighters. We are for you til the press tells us we shouldn't be.
