OT: American Politics

We were saying the opposite thing like 4 months ago at the State of the Union to the point he was accused of being on drugs though?

What do you expect when you blast everybody that exact message all the time?

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

It's the old Fox trick of going on and on and on about a subject, then reporting that the subject keeps coming up so it must be important.

I hope you guys are right about Kamala’s chances. I’ll be over here praying we get to talk about elections in 2028.

I'd worry more about Kamala beating Trump than Biden, honestly. They've had to keep her under wraps the last 4 years. She's been nowhere for the supposed "next one". And Tulsi Gabard already gave Trump the blue plan to destroy her. Just show what an evil person she is for her prosecutor work.

It's a difficult situation and I truly don't know what I'd do. It would be a much easier decision if Kamala was a decent candidate. But I really do worry that Biden may be cooked anyway. Both mentally and from a winnable candidate standpoint.

 

[Wayward DP]

I think Kamala loses just because she is both black and a woman. Which sucks and is awful, but also, America...

hope I'm wrong. but I also think it's moot, cause old man Joe is gonna stay in the race.

and honestly, I'd probably vote for his corpse over dotard anyhow...

 

[hockeylover]

The others can’t beat Trump is how we got to Biden in the first place. Fucking decide one way or another and everyone get on board and fight him properly, ffs.

It still baffles me how trump gets so much support. I could understand it on 2016 when ppl were not fully exposed to him but in 2024 we should be a fringe candidate at best

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

It's a cult.

low energy means he's old decrepit and unfit

high energy means he's all hopped up on goofballs

this isn't meant to be a winnable game.

I think being anti-Trump and not half dead is enough.

might be.

also, any new candidate kinda probably gets to be graded on a bit of a curve, too.

and he still gives good speech.

but that debate was some scary scary shit.

though she would at least be able to shred Trump in a debate. then again, most any of the possibilities could.

 

[Wayward DP]

I have a bit of a theory. Curious to test it out on the FI crowd...

my theory is that people who actually watched the debate live are generally more concerned about Biden's ongoing candidacy than folks who did not.

zeke, you clearly watched live. curious about other folks.

I'll admit that I did not watch it live - I've seen some replays etc. but don't think that captures all of it. and am wondering if I am blissfully naive having not witnessed that display...
