    From the News thread..

    Loads of people declare as undecided at this stage. More importantly, even more people likely haven’t decided whether to vote at all. The people who would not countenance voting for Trump aren’t going to change their mind about that because he’s still able to stand up and firehouse bullshit for 90 minutes… but they are less likely to go out and vote for Biden if they think he’s too knackered for the job.

    Debates themselves don’t make all that much difference, but the ‘Biden is too old’ narrative has been impacting his support all along, and the debate supercharges it.

    He’s still a decent bet to win because Trump is such a terrible candidate himself. But it shouldn’t even be close, MAGA cuntery needs to be soundly thrashed or it will continue to gain momentum.

    The copium in this thread is high. Biden should be in a nursing home with my grandmother - in fact, I see people in better nick than him when I visit her. He needs to withdraw, and I say that as someone on Biden's side of politics.

    The election will be won and lost on turnout rather than affiliation. A geriatric 80 year old who has trouble maintaining train of thought is not going to inspire enough Democratic voters enough to win, even if the alternative is Trump.

    I did see it mooted that if he doesn’t run, they are basically admitting he isn’t up to the job. Which implies he should stand down now. And if they don’t let Kamala run in his place, that’s admitting she isn’t up to the job either. In which case what the fuck are they doing with those two as president and vice.

    So, congratulations Trump. Oh shit.

    Oh dear.

    Very important to remember, at all times, that Biden is not the only one who should not be running.

    He was shit in the debate and he’s too old for the job. Trump lied his stupid face off throughout the debate and he’s too dumb and corrupt for the job. He’s probably too old too. Objectively speaking, Trump is still the worst option. By a mile. And the ‘discourse’ being all about Biden being a bad candidate is a real fucking problem.

    What the fuck is copium?

    A mix of Coke and Opium. I think Biden likes to dabble.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump was on the sniff and Biden’s mob are pumping ritalin or adderall into him.

    Or you know, Adrenochrome!

    Not just me then.

    In related news had my first and to date only instance of " can we just double click on that point" last Monday.

    Did you call it out? “Me and and my interweb mongs think people who say that are cunts”

    At least an eye roll? Cmon man, have some principles!!

    Trump is a cult. His voters will turn out for him no matter what. Biden doesn't have that luxury.

  • 29 Jun 2024, 3:27 p.m.

    Almost

    Yes he is. But that cult is nowhere close to big enough to win. Indeed, I expect that the numbers who will vote for literally anyone to keep him out are bigger. The election is about all the other people.
