Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I have defended this man. If he's still the nominee in November I'll still vote for him. But god dammit this is fucking terrible.

I do not have hope for him being replaced but I sure think he should be. Whoever is telling him that he should keep running is guilty of elder abuse.

This was surreal. To his credit he eventually got into his groove as he moved through his list of approved journalists.

I don't think he got into his groove at all. This guy is toast. And what's with all the whispering?

He's still going and he's not doing great...

Like, he is saying a lot of words, and they do seek to connect with the ones right next to each other most of the time. But it almost never has anything to do with the question after the first sentence or two

I can't tell if he's pretending to talk to people or actually talking to people in the audience. Like I think he sees journalists making comments or reactions and addressing them.

Edit:

When asked if his delegates could vote for someone else if they don't want him he said:

That's the Democratic process

Then leaned in all creepy and whispered

That's not going to happen

Edit 2:

Fucking hell...

They asked about "VP trump" at the end and said trump had already latched into it.

When asked for comment Biden said:

Listen to him

Like? Listen to trump?

Then did his best Monty Burns walk off stage.

As with everything Biden, I highly recommend everyone watch it when they can.

It went on too long, he started to lose his train of thought a few times. The end was weird too. I'm not sure "listen to him" meant what he thought it meant.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

The feeding frenzy at the end definitely confirmed that questions were pre-approved and they had to stick with them.

He was hours late because he was cramming the answers for what he was knew was coming.

Nothing about this was unscripted

This is legitimately scary. Trump does this every second, now Biden is doing it every other conference. 4 years ages anyone, let alone the man in charge of NATO, the biggest economy, and running for re-election.

I am genuinely starting to be at a loss. I understood the life long stutter, I understood people age differently, I understood that soundclips and sneaky edits can make things look bad, but Jesus Christ. Is this the same day as the "President Putin"?

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

At least he tried his Best!

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago

This is sad.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Then he said he was going to defeat VP trump...

And.i honestly don't know if he meant he'd beat Kamala and be the candidate in the general or if he meant he'd beat Trump in the general?

[–] NoSuchAgency@lemdro.id -2 points 1 year ago

Lol, and now he's answering the wrong question. Hahahaha

[–] NoSuchAgency@lemdro.id -2 points 1 year ago

omg, this guy has to be finished. He cant even hold it together this long. wow
