On the one hand, he fumbled his words a few times pretty poorly. On the other hand, he didn't spend an hour blatantly lying.
I was watching CNN's coverage. I thought Biden did alright, asides from a few notable blunders that he recovered from. CNN's coverage made it sound like he needed to have his adult diapers changed mid question.
It's crazy how they're completely ignoring any substance of the debate and solely focusing on appearances. It's almost like that'd favour a populist candidate or something.
The issue is appearances are all that mattered. I don't believe anyone who was interested enough in politics to watch that debate was undecided. It's now time for the campaigns to cut up the debate to use for ads that will actually reach the undecided voters. I feel it's going to hurt Biden a lot more than Trump.
Yeah, I don't disagree. Those who make their decisions by disregarding policy are probably not going to be doing the right things for the right reasons anyways.
If they tip the balance and that means a dictatorship, there's nothing anyone can do to stop it short of global intervention.
I'm hoping the reason this debate was agreed to so early is that the DNC needs to know if they've got to work out a plan B. The convention is scheduled for the end of August so until then Biden isn't the official candidate. Like, if in 2 months they're polling at 30%, I don't see how they can go "oh yeah, this is definitely a losing strategy. Let's stick with it". Why not switch it up? You're losing already. The worst that can happen is you still lose.
This is exactly what I’m thinking. So next then, who do they run instead?
BTW remember when like three years ago Biden said multiple times he would only serve one term? smdh
The obvious answer is Harris. The less obvious but I think better option is Buttigieg. He's not who I would pick ideally, but I think people still remember him and he's part of the Biden adm.
I'm pretty confident they're running Biden unless he dies though.
Bootygig would piss a lot of the base off to pass over a POC woman who would literally be president anyways the moment Joe croaks.
He's probably a better pick for the country, but the DNC doesn't give a shit about that. I don't think he's a particularly strong pick, but he's better than Harris.
I think the best option to win the election would be to pick someone that's not a part of the current administration. And we can definitely count on that not happening. The DNC is too up their own ass with everyone getting their compensation for previous "support" once the positions open up.
I agree totally. He's not the best option, just the best option that's plausible if we entertain the hypothetical that Joe isn't running. Also, yeah it probably would piss some people off to skip Harris, so it's probably her no matter what.
Keep digging yall, we need the bar to go lower!
Invade the US to spread freedom? What goes around comes around I guess. Fuck our shit up, go nuts! Don't worry, everything is already broken.
