Then we deserve Trump. If the country can’t get off their ass and vote for the old guy that sometimes messes up words and is shit in a debate against a fucking rapist that has said all the quiet parts out loud - then we are fucked. Yippie.

Let's be very clear.  Trump has been a complete piece of shit con man his entire life and was elected President almost 8 years ago. We've BEEN fucked. The fuckening already happened. The fuckinazation of America has been in progress for years.

I swear to fucking god, I don't understand why some of y'all still think reason and facts matter when it comes to Trump. It DOES NOT MATTER. Understand? "It's not fair!" NO SHIT IT'S NOT FAIR. What the fuck do you think we were all yelling about in 2016? We live in a post-truth world now. This shit has torn people and families apart. 

I will run to vote for Joe Biden if he's the nominee. I also truly believe he cannot win. We must defeat Trump. Every single Dem politician who's speaking out against Joe DESPERATELY wants to defeat Trump. So much so that they believe they have to put THEIR OWN PRESIDENT to bed in order to save whatever is left of this goddamned country.

It. Does. Not. Make. Them. Right.

Switching from Biden at this point is political suicide.  It absolutely 100% ices the vote for Trump.  I'll donate another $1K to Mobile Loaves and Fishes this year if the Dems switch and win.  Hold me to it, I'd be fucking thrilled.

It’ll be interesting if the fellow D’s telling him it’s over and talking to the press that he should quit is done.  He’s put everyone in the position of having to back him just to keep that 5% chance he wins alive.

I’m expecting Trump to win at this point because that’s what this country wants. Dwelling on it for the next four months would make me insane. 

This is kind of where I'm at except I have been driving myself insane and need to stop.

I’ve long maintained that Trump was just an indictment of our education and mental health treatment systems. You just don’t get a Trump without a good helping of the mentally ill and uneducated.  Add the religious right who prey on the above. Team them up with the bigots and the folks that think this election is about taxes and well, that’s almost a dream team of the American electorate. 

Trump is the symptom.  The populace is the disease.  Sad shit.

I genuinely don’t understand this take when every poll shows the vast majority of Democrats want Biden to drop out.

Nobody thinks that of you elect Biden you’re not getting Harris as president at some point before January 20, 2029. So you’re getting all of the negatives of Biden and all of the negatives of Harris, without any of Harris’s positives.

Just eliminate the Biden negatives, and at the same time reap the positives that come with a younger and more dynamic candidate.

I'm not talking about Dem polls, I'm talking about Biden V Trump polls.  Trusting them is a fool's errand, but they're a dead heat, which makes them even more useless, not "OH MY GERD TRUMP IS A LOCK TO WIN VS BIDEN".

The only way this could be crazier is if Ted Kennedy was running against Trump and we all had to overlook the Chappaquiddick thing to avoid another Trump presidency. 

If Trump crashed his car into the water, the MAGA would be celebrating how great a swimmer he was.  Trump would use it to prove he could have been on the Olympic team and would have probably won more medals that Michael Phelps...

I don't get the only Biden can win take.  The country's been fucked since trump won the first time.  Likely from well before then.  But you win by being charismatic and bold.  Hell, trump won by being a charismatic, raging asshole.  And the dems win when someone with charisma, Obama or a younger Biden, run, not when they're playing it safe and uninteresting.  And the take is that an 82-year-old who if he can make it though a short press conference is a huge relief is the safe choice boggles my mind.  Never mind that the safe choice rarely wins anyway.

We should be able to do better than demented evil clown vs. demented nice guy.  And if we can't, we deserve what we get.  Dems may well lose regardless, because huge swaths of this country are fucking morons.  But at least go down fighting, and not being so scared of losing they're running someone who appears to be in the early stages of dementia.

We risked this exact scenario when the Dems nominated Biden in 2020.  People were screaming that he would be not old but ancient should he win and run again.  Here we are.

My take on switching horses is that it is simply a non-starter.  It's never done.  It would not draw a net influx of voters to the Democrat's side.  It just wouldn't.  It would drive more people away than it would bring others in.

Do you have any evidence for this?  Because I think it runs contrary to the empirical evidence and basic common sense.

Harris not only takes away the primary attack against the Democratic candidate. She turns it squarely back on Trump. As bad as Biden looked against Trump, Trump would look even more confused, enfeebled, and incapable if put on a debate stage against Harris.

And you think that doesn’t win voters back to the Democratic ticket?

I mean, that’s just wild to me.

Zero.

They're going to have to sneak into a rally and call him out like Beto did to Abbott.

Only Biden can beat Trump?  WTF, are some of you retarded?

Joe Biden was always an average to below average pol who was good at foreign policy.  He ran for president in 88, 08, and 20 and lost badly each time until the SC primary in 20 when the blacks voted for him because he was Obama’s BFF.  (Had he not been Obama’s VP, he doesn’t win that.)

He’s just not a good politician and the idea that the Democratic Party in 2024 can only win with 82 year old Joe Biden is ridiculous.

Exactly.

Every single Biden supporter will vote for Kamala. She is his VP!! She is part of his administration! She's literally 2nd in line. All the BIden stans who are mad will get over it very quickly if Kamala is called up.

Then you have a chance to energize young voters (who are uninterested and feel distant due to these two dinosaurs) energize the minority vote, and put women's rights front and center in this election. 

People are understandably very scared right now. The only action that can create a legitimate turning point in this election is bringing in Kamala off the bench. 

I'm not saying Joe Biden is the best Dem to beat Trump.  I'm saying he's been the Dem choice for 4 years and it's too fucking late to change.

Y'all have the strategic instincts of my chihuahua.

And Donald Trump is not debating Kamala Harris, for fuck's sake.

When Joe won in 2020 many of thought he would step down in 2022 and hand things off for Kamala.  
 

after today I’m glad he didn’t.  I think he has Don right where he wants him

Have we considered that Trump is just an agent of Satan?  


 I have never seen anyone who has better luck than that mother fucker. He can just say the most stupid shit and have people just believe it and actually think he is smart.  The more religious you are the more likely you are to support him even though he is objectively a terrible human being by even the most liberal of interpretations of Christianity.  He has us all arguing the whether the sky is purple in that we are picking Biden apart on his mental acuity while Trump is saying shit that is plain just not in the same reality that the rest of us are living in  

Not only that, but he is actually telling everyone how he is going to fuck them in the ass once he gets elected and people love it and offer him their ass with no lube. 

Now, he’s got me thinking I’m the one that’s actually crazy and all that crazy shit is normal. 


Really?  What the fuck is going on here?

We know Trump will not debate Biden again because it gave him all the momentum and a clear path to presidency. 

If Kamala gets called up and Trump doesn't debate her, that will affect him negatively. His age/mental issues all of a sudden become front and center. Dem politicians and media will dog walk him. Which will further energize Dem voters.

Key takeaways from Biden’s news conference: Insistence on staying in the race and flubbed names

 

Key take away is not that he answered questions in detail, but that he flubbed names.

Quote

Overall, his presentation was a reminder that people are focused on him now with an almost clinical eye toward possible slip-ups and mistake

Including AP headline writers. Good job, liberal media.

I think that Trump not giving Biden another debate is a reason for replacing him.  Seems like it would be harder for him to dodge not given the circumstances.

I've moved to rural Texas. I pass two small ranches that have Trump Flags regularly. I know these bloodsuckers exist. I'm not surprised. I'm stunned by the fact of it.

I've recently had a family member reveal their Trumpiness. The person thought she had a gotcha when she brought up Biden's debate performance.

Me: "I'd vote for a corpse before I'd vote that lying fascist. I never dreamed there would be an election of existential importance to the republic."

Her: "All politicians lie"

Idiot World. Malign Idiot World. I've got a DNA connection with it.

The double standard is just too much for me. We cannot have an environment where one guy gets roasted for every single misstep and the other guy is just not getting held to any standard. It is such a joke. And yall wanna play right into that instead of saying no, fuck you guys, we're not doing that. It's like Michael Bolton on Office Space, saying "why should I change? He's the one who sucks."
