People aren't even giving him crediting for beating Medicare!

/s

In all seriousness though, I just can't understand how someone can watch the 2020 debate and 2024 debate, and say the only thing wrong with Biden was his voice...

Like, he wasn't great in 2020, but 2024 made it sound like Obama in comparison.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Funny the way you mentioned Obama because you are spot on.

Obama was by far the best US president in recent history and maybe ever. Then the Dems just went like OK we'll never ever do something like that again.

Youre doing Lincoln a disservice. And Washington too.

Obama droned a lot of kids, he really wasnt that good

Youre doing Lincoln a disservice.

True

And Washington too.

Nah, fuck him he sucked.

As an european, what scares me , it is that Biden is the ACTUAL president. If he suffers from dementia, who is really in charge now. Who takes the decisions? Usa are involved in at least two major wars and dictate the policy to the europeans. Who is responsible of that? If biden cannot be a candidate , why it is an actual president?

You should watch how you talk. We do more than any of you countries. We send more aid and supplies to Ukraine to Israel than any of you fucks and your golden leaders you love so much. We train and run war simulations with allies in hopes of preventing war. Our economy is doing the greatest it has. All that with a 'dementia riddled' leader. You should wish you accomplish what that man does.

This whole night was so many layers of exhausting, but probably not for the reasons you think... No rational, serious person was expecting Biden to Willy Wonka front somersault into this debate? it was going to be what this was, the only true surprise was probably the volume of his voice (which they chalk up to a cold, okay fine, I guess) and actually how well he did quickly processing and responding to trump's gish gallop and unchecked stream of consciousness mistruth firehose with little help from the impotent moderators for the majority of the night.

The people in this country, in their immediate reaction to this debate, demonstrate that they just fundamentally lack the focus, empathv and frankly basic intelligence to process the substance of this or any debate. On average, we respond solely to voice pitch, tonality, body language and facial expressions, like a still developing toddler... Or a dog.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Volume is a minor issue, the problem was the half finished thoughts and odd transitions between them.

It's called watching the clock and getting flustered trying to not run over time.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's always fun when people suddenly forget that Biden has a stutter. I'm not even 40 and, perfectly healthy, sometimes can't finish a fucking sentence and just move on to the next point. The only reason people don't say I have dementia is because I don't look old enough to hurl the accusation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How many stuttering acting presidents do you remember?

Also Biden isn't just having a stutter. It was clear he lost his train of thought multiple times, like destroying medicaid, constantly mixing thousands, millions, billions and trillions or his talk about abortion trimesters.

This sounded like they gave him elaborate sentences to remember beforehand and he butchered them all, because of not learning them by heart and not fully grasping what they actually mean.

Meanwhile Trump was just doing Trump and Biden came wholly unprepared for that. Repeating what Trump said with "the idea that ... is ridiculous" is just repeating what he said, further giving it agency. How could they be unprepared for Trump being Trump after 8 years of him already?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Sounds like you've never socialized with others who have a stutter. Instead of understanding how different mental/physical impairments affect people, you'd rather just make assumptions and baseless claims that confirm your own biases. Biden's stutter is a well documented ailment that has affected him, in similar ways, for a long time - we just got to see it when he was clearly under the weather.

You can factually disagree with Biden's policies, but to create this elaborate scenario out of whole cloth and purposely ignore Trump's own verbal missteps just tells all of us all we need to know about why you commented.

This Biden protection is crazy. we need a candidate who actually stands a chance against Trump. this is insane. It's 2016 all over again.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Any other candidate just wouldn't have the name recognition. Millions of Americans just vote for the incumbent regardless of who it is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Hey now that we have the benefit of hindsight I just wanted to show you how wrong you were and how confident you can be that youre right when you're so so wrong please be a little more open-minded going forward and listen to people😏

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And the guy who already beat him once just isn't good enough huh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Even he agrees he isnt. How does it feel to be this wrong lol.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think it's more insane to say that Biden doesn't have a chance against Trump when he's already beaten Trump once, which is why he's President Biden.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey buddy how does it feel to have been so wrong? You thought the idea that biden didnt havw a chance was insane but even Biden dropped out because he knew he didn't. I just wanted to remind you how confident you were that you were right when you couldn't have been more wrong 😏 😜

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Except I wasn't wrong. If he had stayed in I believe he would beat Trump. He only dropped out because he could see the party infighting, and dropped out to try and unify the party. But, had he remained in the race, he ultimately would have beaten Trump. The only way we would know if I had been wrong was if he had stayed in the race and then lost, otherwise I still believe in the end he would gave defeated Trump.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

😏

So let me get this straight the Democratic party due to a wide range of polls that indicated Joe would lose to Trump decided to pressure Joe to step down. Joe ultimately agreed to step down because of it. they all believed he would lose but you know better than them all with all of their resources and connections to the presidental race itself. Lmao sure dude

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Polls 5-6 months out of the election are not indicative of how people are actually feeling. In the end, when the election actually happened, I believe people may not have been excited to vote for Biden, but I believe people would have definitely not wanted Trump to win. As I said, Biden already defeated him once in part because of that reason.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

is there a way to prove content manipulation on a website ? Isn't reddit already super pro democrat... why is this fediverse and others being drowned in this bullshit ? Fuck them both biden and trump and us politicians, they are just puppets. The real masters are the corporations . I thought this website you would see more posts like reviving occupy wall street.

But the corporations they got the money....
