This is apocalyptic. This is good vs evil, and you're worried about optics??? Biden has been an amazing President. He has a great team surrounding him. He has the heart of the average person. I think it's doing Biden a disservice to have him fight the press as well as the progressives while trying to save democracy in our country. Trump is the devil incarnate, and others need to be more hair-on-fire about that and less about "Yes, Biden has been a great President, but will he still be able to govern after over 50 years of experience?" Maybe another old fart wouldn't stand a chance, but to Biden, this is just another day in the office. He's still effective. He's still in charge. So what if he has trouble speaking in public? That's old news. I doubt any other team can pull off a win. Leave Kamala as his backup. She will rise to the occasion if Biden has a bad day. And if he dies (God forbid), we're still in capable hands.
This last week has been tough. All things considered, I'd obviously vote for Biden over the Tangerine god-king. No question. But after that interview ton, it just left me feeling so sad for Joe. He's undeniable a caring and compassionate man but a very frightening scenario now lies ahead. The prospect of a trump return and Project 2025 will be an epic disaster and deny our generation (millenials/genz) economic freedom and a future. In a perfect
world I would have loved to see
Whitmer/Shapiro. But the time for that plan was in June.....2023. I'm hoping his advisors are just giving him the space to come to that conclusion on his own. But it must be made relatively quickly or else we really are up shxt creek without a paddle. It's crazy how the reich wing spoke this into reality. It's just undeniable at this juncture. I have a hard time turning my mind off to the thought of Project 2025. It will surely wreck the economy and I wouldn't be surprised if that's Tangerine's ultimate plan. To inflict as much pain as possible. I'm at the point in my thinking where I'm almost afraid to vote against trump. I'm in california which will definitely be blue, but what if they use AI to go over the votes and then use that retribution via.... who knows what form.... the prospects are unknown. I may be overwhelmed/overreacting. I sure hope so. Just when I was really getting on track in life and the ladder may soon be getting yanked up.....
This is a media created story & now the media just loves all the attention THEY ARE GETTING!
Biden is fine— Even Obama had a crappy first debate, but I didn’t see any of you media types & conspiracy theory lovers tanking Obama, why? Debates are not real tests but if you’re so worried why isn’t anyone complaining about Trump not answering questions just rambling on his talking points & making no sense.
This point is done, move on or wallow quietly in your worry.
Not so much a comment as a complaint. I’m an old lady horrified to my core that That F’ing Guy will win the most powerful role on the planet. I’m on a fixed income and have already limited my media subscriptions to save money that I can donate to defeat TFG. I’m married to a man who demands that I make matching donations in his name to the GOP. (Shhhhh, I don’t.) I earned a very good salary when I was working, but my retirement funds have been absorbed into family life and tough times. Unfair, but my reality. Now I am being eaten alive by subscription fees for everything I do - my work as an artist requires Photoshop. A subscription. Creative suite. A subscription. Word and financial software. Subscriptions. Audio books to save my vision. Yep, download fees from Apple in addition to the subscription to audio books AND the cost of each book. Podcasts. Subscription. My favorite media, the Bulwark. Subscription. NYT. Subscription. WAPO. Yep. Partial list I’m afraid.
Here’s where you come in Charlie. All the fabulous links you posted on one of the most vital issues of this century are behind a paywall. I just can’t afford The Atlantic. In addition to pricing me out of important sources, these links aren’t shareable to the people I know who would benefit from knowing this stuff.
So, there’s my rant. Just when America is wallowing in voter ignorance, the best information to educate voters on the threats TFG poses is never going to be seen by those whom most need to see it.
Biden should ABSOLUTELY stay in the race. His administration has done an excellent job during his first term; I shudder to think of the consequences for the US and Planet Earth if we open this ill-advised door and try to shoo Biden out of the race. STAY THE COURSE & SUPPORT OUR CANDIDATE IN ALL WAYS POSSIBLE for the next 4 months.
Let’s do this for our children, grandchildren, and people everywhere in this planet.
Gosh, Nervous Nellies! It was a just a debate for God’s sake. Sadly, a debate is more performance than practical substance, and that fits right in with Trump’s skill. But Let’s not bury Joe yet.
Check out John Fetterman’s opinion on this topic of Biden abandonment, especially after his own poor performance, yet he was still victorious over the likable Dr Oz in 2022
There’s still a lot of campaign left and Biden can bounce back with more teleprompted speaking of his real accomplishments, not just the bluster and false BS that Donnie offers. If Joe adds “repeatable, catchy” attack phrases on Donnie, then that’s what will put Trump on the defensive. And that’s where the focus should be; on the pure unfitness of Donald Trump. He’s given us plenty of examples!
The press once again attacks Biden while minimizing the mad elephant in the room. This judgement on a curve is how Trump came to power. It gave us a SCOTUS believes he's above the law. Biden at his worst is still far better as an institutionalist than Trump could ever be. Debating isn't a presidential skill. Decision making is. In a qualified room of expert advisors, not in a room full of yes men.
Nice try, but it's all bullshit. IF BIDEN STEPS DOWN, TRUMP WILL WIN. Obama had a bad debate. Clinton had a bad debate. Joe had a bad debate. So what?! Joe is still doing the job with the help of a lot of smart, dedicated people. There is no reason to think that he can't continue to do a great job. If he does falter during his next term he has a highly capable VP to take over the reigns. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and must never enter the Oval Office ever again. Biden must win!
I too have done that but have now stopped. I think it is an outdated useless marketing strategy! It is like the Republicans are controlling social media while the Dems rely on the pony express! What is wrong with us? A friend of mine who was once quite involved in politics always says, Republicans are mean and Democrats are stupid. I am beginning to see just that!

With Maher & You in the voting assessment! Also loved the dog pic!
And sure, the onus should be on how unqualified Tangerine is but man.... so damn infuriating.

I’m sick of you all feeding the media click bait!
Insults from people who are refusing to see reality will not strengthen your position - or Biden's.
No, We the people are done. It’s #BidenHarris2024.
Still voting for Biden even if I have to write him in.
How to think clearly about Charlie Sykes and what he says:
Don’t

All these people are ridiculous! It's tRump who should not be a candidate! They are wrong, wrong, wrong!

I will vote for Biden. His intellect and compassion and commitment is what we need . The other side is pure evil so no thanks!
