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....

Full senile moment = "raspy voice"

Biden apologists are gonna be the reason Trump gets elected.

[-] VoterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I mean if Trump gets elected, it'll be because people would rather have a felon conman narcissist racist rapist wanna-be-dictator idiot over someone with "senile moments." Call me an apologist, but the blame should fall with the morons that think the guy who literally tried to illegally have the last election thrown out was the right choice there.

How the hell does that make sense to you? Do you have a viable alternative?

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Literally what I said.

People sticking their head in the sand and believing every voter is as much of a cultist as them. Did everyone forget 2016?. The Democrats are refusing to run anyone else because of all the cultists that will let them get away with not appealing to anyone and still voting Democrat.

Jill Stein is not just a viable alternative now, it's the only chance there is to beat Trump.

I'm registered Green and I have to tell ya. This is the most ridiculous thing I've read on Lemmy since I joined, and that's saying something.

Surely you're not implying you believe Biden actually has a chance after seeing his Debate performace. He barely won in 2020 and he's a walking skeleton now that's already behind in the polls.

I'm not implying it, I'm saying it. And your hyperbole doesn't strengthen your argument. In fact, it's downright ridiculous. This shit happens. It always gets blown out of proportion, no matter the candidate. Hell, Obama at one point was counted out because of a poor showing at a rally or debate early on - they said he was a terrible orator. LOL. In this case it happens to tap into a steady stream of GOP BS about Biden that seemingly many otherwise rational people on Lemmy have bought hook, line, and sinker.

RBG, Feinstein, now Biden. Selfish geriatric boomers should learn when to retire.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

All three of those are actually not from the Baby Boomer / Me Generation but The Silent Generation. The previous one. RBG and Feinstein were born in 1933, Biden is the youngest of them, born in 1942.

Oh shit, so it's only going to get worse, isn't it?

[-] Novman@feddit.it 15 points 2 days ago

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?

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

25th Amendment. If the President is incapacitated, the VP takes over.

It's not a great situation, but I'll take it over the guy promising a dictatorship.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

The VP takes charge, we have the position for a reason. One of the better elements of the presidency is that there is a clear line of succession and even a good bit of "we dont fucken know whos alive" backups.

Also Reagan was already president and utterly demented.

The cabinet, and the heads of federal agencies who are appointed by the president (everything from the FBI to the EPA), is doing the actual running of the country. In particular Biden just signs off on whatever they tell him to, as an individual, I don't think he has been making any serious foreign policy decisions himself.

Chief of Staff is Jeff Zients, a former Bain Capital guy

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.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago

I don't even see why that matters. Even if the candidate was an actual real turnip, the choice would be obvious.

I mean I don't vote in your election but it seems quite clear to me.

I don't like Joe Biden, I'll never forget the Neoliberal bullshit he did with the Republicans in the 90s we are still suffering from further eviscerating the safetynet to the draconian war on people suffering addiction. He's one of the OG former opposition party members the Reagan Revolution convinced to take the bigger bribe checks from Wall Street than Unions could ever match, today's neoliberal(D) party.

That said, I voted for him in the last election, and I will again out of harm reduction. He has improved on policy, but l even if he didn't, the American people do not get a vote on whether or not to elect a senile President this cycle.

You can have any President you like, as long as he's senile. If you vote, we'll get a senile President. If you don't, we'll get a senile President.

The question is whether you want senile and gleefully cruel(R), or just senile(D). I'll take just senile.

We should all be screaming at the top of our lungs for Biden to drop out now. Fast. Throw in Newsom or Whitmer. I'll vote for either, doesn't matter.

This is a no brainer, and no loss. Either they do it which would be great, or we're stuck with biden anyway, who now looks to be much worse off against trump.

Everyone should be telling biden to drop out. Everyone everyone everyone. And loudly.

[-] Bull205@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

I’ve dropped emails to Schumer, Jeffries, and my local senator and congressmen to tell them that Biden should drop the fuck out. Those that are going to vote blue are going to vote blue regardless. No one who was voting against Trump is suddenly going to switch it up.

If Harris. Comes the pick, that’s the only wild card I see. She will alienate a lot of folks because she isn’t as progressive as media is making her out to be. And let’s face it…racism and sexism.

I don't think I can comfortably vote for someone who made their career as a prosecutor, she may as well have been a cop. I didn't like her as VP either for the same reasons.

Didn't she make a name for herself as a DA aggressively procecuting for MJ? People who statistically looked a lot more like her than me? So we get slow roll fascism instead of a sprint?

(heads to wikipedia)

She prosecuted more than her predecessor, and her replacement issued blanket pardons back to 1975. So that was an option she had but chose not to take, as I see it.

Under Harris, the D.A.'s office obtained more than 1,900 convictions for marijuana offenses, including persons simultaneously convicted of marijuana offenses and more serious crimes.[76] The rate at which Harris's office prosecuted marijuana crimes was higher than the rate under Hallinan, but the number of defendants sentenced to state prison for such offenses was substantially lower.[76] Prosecutions for low-level marijuana offenses were rare under Harris, and her office had a policy of not pursuing jail time for marijuana possession offenses.[76] Harris's successor as D.A., George Gascón, expunged all San Francisco marijuana offenses going back to 1975.[76]

I'm not a single-issue voter on MJ, but I think it's a decent indicator of where her head was at.

Sure, if they put Harris up will I vote for her? Yeah. Then in 2028 they'll tell me I have to vote for facist-lite again because Democracy is stil under threat even though Trump's heart explodes from all those cheeseburgers in 2027, so she'll get a second term. No real chance of real progressive policies or whitehouse-driven police reform until 2032.

I've never seen Biden look as bad as he did in the first debate, so I'd like to see how he is in the second debate before I kick him to the curb. Then maybe we get someone who isn't so cozy with police in for 2028 instead of Kamala's second term.

I have no faith in the future and only pray death is swift and merciful. I will vote Biden in hopes of delaying the inevitable another four years.

I was hoping that the Right's march into fascism was going to be the call to action that Americans needed to abandon them and push the country into being a proper developed nation....

Instead, people go along with it to own the libs, and the privileged who know better have the resources to stamp their foot and wait for a savior they should know will never come.

[-] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 113 points 3 days ago

So the man has a stutter, and he's old, what ever. All I can do is cast my single vote. Last time, I voted against Trump, and honestly, even after the debate, I'll cast my vote this time for Biden.

I'd much rather cast my vote for Hakeem Jeffries, or Shift, or Bernie, or a dozen other people who aren't an option.

Thing is, I'm going to cast my vote in Cook county IL, so it literally won't matter. IL is going blue no matter what, and I feel like my participation is merely token.

I wish I could do more, I want to scream at clouds about what is happening to the country, and it doesn't matter.

Saw a stat that says Trump is 65% to win, and want to physically grab people and shake them, but what would it matter?

Had I walked into that debate blind, not knowing who those people are, what the "facts" and the facts are, I'd have thought, that Biden guy seems weak and befuddled, and boy that Trump is sure a confident leader. It made me feel sick.

As I told my mother today, I don't have kids, I live in the midwest, have a good job with a big stable company, truth is, even a second Trump term won't effect me that much. I can just sit back, enjoy my 30 so years left, and watch the world burn, but damn it, I have empathy for others, and there are many, many people whose lives and livelihood are going to be seriously impacted, and that bothers me.

most important thing is that he can still use his arm to sign legislation. that's all you need him for. the actual deal is the cabinet. that's what you're voting for.

too bad most people don't think about that, and fuck the dnc for putting the country in this situation.
