Good think the dems had another candidate with the exact same ideology (pro-genocide).

That's what they get for holding the debate during nap time.
His trips to Europe were two weeks before the debate...
Anyway, I thought they were blaming a cold and/or being over-prepared...
His team is in shambles. It’s a fucking disgrace. It’ll cost us the Republic.
Your comment reminds me of a comment one of my undergrad profs said once, which was something like "no one in Rome on September 4, 476 AD looked at each other and said 'Holy shit! This is The Fall of Rome!"
If Biden loses and a second Trump admin enacts all the shit we're worried about, I think future historians will move the date of The Fall of the U.S. a lot further back.
All of the above and whatever else they can think of
From the article:
Biden did make several trips in the weeks leading up to the debate. On June 13, the president joined other leaders for the Group of Seven summit in Apulia, Italy. Two days later, he flew to Los Angeles for a celebrity-filled fundraiser alongside former President Barack Obama, where his campaign said he raised at least $28 million, per a report from Politico.
Reuters reported that Biden headed to Camp David on June 21 to begin debate prep six days before he took the stage. White House aides who traveled with the president told Reuters that Biden was "in a good mood" on his way to prepare.
So, let me get this straight. Two-ish weeks before the debate, he travelled to Europe to visit our allies for two days. Then he visits LA for a day. Then, a week before the debate, he goes to Camp David to prepare. And that's the strenuous schedule that made him almost fall asleep on stage? And that's supposed to make me feel better? I read another article where it went into a little more detail and said that they didn't even start debate prep until 11 am each day at Camp David, and included scheduled time for an afternoon nap, so it's not exactly like they were working him like a rented mule. This makes it seem so much worse, imo. The president has to do a lot more strenuous stuff than debates, and if he's worthless for weeks after two days of travel, that doesn't bode well for the coming campaign season.
It's kind of sad, but we have to temper expectations on both of the candidates. These two both hit retirement age over a decade ago and we're trying to put them in potentially the most stressful job in the nation.
- Hostilities were mostly over, but these two were technically alive during World War 2.
- The first meeting of the United Nations was after these two were born.
- The current incarnation of India as a country is younger than these two.
- They're both older than NATO.
- We only had 48 states when these two were born.
- These two were already out of high school when Martin Luther King delivered his speech.
I could just keep going forever on these. I am not sure that this is the job for anyone so far removed from their prime.
Sure doesn't, but they're grasping as many straws as they can
his time as career politician should have been an indication but everyone seems lost on the fact he likes the color blue and has a different name other than Trump
maybe colors and letters are not the best indicator of how someone will perform on the job
Then again, you could look at their actual track records.
I think they see the same thing we see, a pushover that they can control. That explains why his policies and stance on things is not the same as it used to be
Fucking hell, he’s toast. Replace him or we’ll get trump.
Replace him and we'll get Trump
replier plays games to deflect their illiteracy.
~~Coercing~~ Convincing someone who doesn’t want the job is not a solution.

lol - I’m not the one who deleted and replaced my entire comment.
I purposely left the part you complained about so people could see the context.
And the point I made was it didn’t matter the difference in word choice. The original point still stands; “Coerce” or “convince”.
lol, i dindu wot u said but she said then I did, but I didn't, so there, lolol.!
The point still stands tho!
Which part confused you? I’m happy to help you understand if you like.
I think it's too late to replace him unless he decides to step down. Of course they could use the 25th amendment but I doubt they will. When Trump was in office, they brought up the 25th amendment nonstop
Biden also reportedly stressed that he was apologetic for his debate performance but told supporters it was "critical" to beat Trump in November. Polling has shown that the candidates are neck and neck, even after Thursday's debate in which Biden's demeanor sparked concern among Democrats.
One of the few things I agree with Biden on...
Beating trump is the most important thing, and Biden looks like he might not be up to it.
He just refuses to step aside, because it's not about beating trump to him, it's about him beating trump.
And it's insane to put it on an 81 year that keeps sundowning.
I'm not seeing any polls that show them neck and neck. I believe Bidens just all about staying in power. Same with his wife and the others that have been lying to the public about his well-being. I think it's elder abuse.
OP is a tagged trump supporter
Oh no!
Fuck off fascist.
Right back to ya
If the media can get a presidential candidate to drop out just by repeatedly asking him to then why the fuck aren’t they calling for Trump to step down?
Because they’re full of shit. That’s why.
The difference is Biden might be able to be convinced to put the fate of the nation over his own position in office. Trump has no such concerns to appeal to.
this is what gets me. Even barring the insurrection itself his unwillingness to accept his loss and not cooperating with the handover. Its funny I remember bush junior was known for not working with the clinton administration on the handover coming in which caused them to be unaware of the al-kaida threat and then trump won't prep the incoming administration. so they are resistant acting properly both coming and going. Myabe the republican party should drop out of running canidates in presidential elections due to incompetence.
