Like a film poster that edits a horrible review.

Yesterday was meant to show how sharp and able Biden is under pressure of an unscripted press conference.

Given he has been gaff prone it was important he didn’t fuck up. But he did.

Trump supporters split into two camps, people too stupid to realise what an idiot Trump is, or people who see Trump as an opportunity to get horrible policy enacted.

With an opponent who can think and speak clearly it would show Trumps deficiencies up more clearly, whereas Biden’s continually minor gaffes help Trumps idiocy and inconsistency get hidden.

For me the question is why is there no charismatic safe pair of hands who can represent the Democrats.

Yes it’s not an ideal situation, neither candidate is ideal.
What I find odd is seeing less of trumps unintelligible child mind utterances in the news, he’s not of sound mind either.

Biden has dementia. No amount of 'whatabout Trump' is going to change that.

I can't come up with a convincing argument as to how any of the Dem alternative would beat Trump, but if the Dems loose it is also a matter of who they lost with. In a burgeoning dictatorship with the threat of civil war looming, you'd like the loosing part to at least have some confidence in the person that held the banner when they reached that point. Navalny had his flaws, but in opposition he at least came across with an air purpose and vitality that struck a contrast to the ageing Putin and his cronies.

I think the problem is that the notion of Biden being past it / demented gained sufficient traction, such that as soon as he makes any misstep that fits with that narrative, it is instantly amplified, and becomes the default perception.

Confirmation bias writ large.

The times that he doesn't fudge a name (which literally everyone does), are completely discounted.

Whereas Trump is just expected to talk nonsensical bollocks all the time, and is given a free pass anyway.

Best people can hope for now is that Trump carks it, or is topped. Or Biden carks it. Or both.

Biden has a stutter & forgets stuff, Trump rapes kids.

Totally agree.

He’s under a microscope now so anytime he forgets what day of the week it is it’ll be international news. I thought it was Wednesday all day yesterday until my wife reminded me.

He must meet so many people so remembering new people must get challenging but the mistakes he has made are unfortunate.

I did see a stand up show recently that was basically saying Kamala needs to just nudge him next time he’s near some stairs. Job done

Biden has a stutter & forgets stuff, Trump rapes kids.

Two different discussions innit. One discussion is Trump vs Biden, the other discussion is Biden vs pretty much any other Dem candidate. And if the bar is "doesn't rape kids" then, to my knowledge, pretty much any Dem candidate will make the cut – and as such there should be no reason to cling onto Biden.

Like supporting genocide and keep kids in cage like trump did? if he was a republican the same people that support him will destroy his policy program

One thing they need to factor in is the money. The Biden - Harris ticket has raised $100s million dollars in campaign funding. If they change candidate, the only candidate who has legal access to that money is apparently Harris.

The times that he doesn't fudge a name (which literally everyone does), are completely discounted.

This is a hilariously bad take. Of course anyone can muddle a name.

I guess very few people would stand in front of the world's press, knowing their credibility depended on it, and call Zelensky Putin.

Even when he knew everything was riding on it and he was trying his absolute hardest, he couldn't get it right.

Because he has dementia.

Because he has dementia.

It's possible, but you can't diagnose that based on tv clips.

It amazes me what people can't see staring them in the face.

his brain is obviously working like an adults

It doesn't matter if he can solve the three-body problem while simultaneously analysing grandmaster chess matches in his head, if he can't be persuasively articulate outside it. The Democrat politicians calling for Biden to step down aren't worried about his intelligence so much as they just don't think he can gain the confidence of the U.S. electorate.

If he had diagnosed dementia, do you think he’d still be running? I don’t.

Ok

Do you think anyone capable of making that diagnosis is getting access?

Also, genuine question about policies, what has he enacted. It definitely shows the bias in my news source, but the only memorable thing I can think of is taking over a year from election to actually nominate a chair for the FCC (Not, to get them sworn in, but just to start the process of nominating them)

here is one of his policies.

Do they have a vote of no confidence scenario in m’erica

They’d never get any work done if they did, it’s become far too partisan. The federal House of Reps is able to impeach the POTUS to accuse him/her of committing a serious offence of some sort (not necessarily a criminal offence). The federal Senate then passes judgement, and that’s as close as it gets to a vote of no confidence.

Okay, here we go - this is obviously why all the crazy intransigence.

The Biden - Harris ticket has raised $100s million dollars in campaign funding. If they change candidate, the only candidate who has legal access to that money is apparently Harris.

That VP choice sucking harder than ever.

Trump rapes kids

This pic from the Twitter thread linked above. Crazy that this is out there, and it's not all over the news... Also a bit funny how all those folks who got all worked up over a fictional pedo ring would totally dismiss this as fake news.
