lb2y0ln | 1dsjx1c | >In recent days, some of Biden’s family members have expressed deep frustration with the aides and advisers responsible for preparing him for the debate…
How are you going to prep for his operating system rebooting mid-sentence? Complete denial, you’d think they’d want to save him further embarrassment but their egos and self-interest are blinding them to what was obvious to everyone else. | KAY-toe | 39 | 2024-07-01T04:19:36 | 1,999 |
lb2y8yn | 1dsjx1c | Dooming the country for one man's ego. Selfish. | Armano-Avalus | 57 | 2024-07-01T04:21:42 | 2,013 |
lb2y93v | 1dsjw4w | Go back and read the Time [unintelligible] interview, go back and watch the footage of him glitching out at Juneteenth, go back and hear him address his age and fitness in a press conference and then nearly in the same breath talk about President Sisi of Mexico and ultimately just sadly shuffle out of the room. The debate performance was especially terrible, but it is not unique, and it won’t be the last time Biden looks unfit. This is not a problem that their playbook can solve. | 5882300EMPIRE | 12 | 2024-07-01T04:21:44 | 2,014 |
lb2ybuc | 1dsel6l | But... he doesn't. And he doesn't sound like he has dementia. He doesn't act like Joe Biden does. | WheatonLaw | 12 | 2024-07-01T04:22:25 | 2,019 |
lb2yc29 | 1dsiqzh | I hate articles like this.
They are just meant for pure cope following that disastrous debate.
It accomplishes nothing. Instead of coming up with viable ideas/improvements and fostering discussion on what Biden and the Dems can do to improve their odds, it just tries to assure people that the other side is much worse off.
Like do people really think Trump and camp will read this and think “hmm. They really don’t like me. Maybe we should drop out to appease them”. Give me a break. | Anibunnymilli | 18 | 2024-07-01T04:22:29 | 2,021 |
lb2ydnd | 1dsj5j4 | SCOTUS already ruled in Trump's favor by failing to take up the matter in a timely fashion. I'd love to see a dissenting opinion on that decision, but I don't think it works that way.
Trump and Biden will be long dead but their SCOTUS appointments will still be ruling over our lives. Vote accordingly. | faedrake | 96 | 2024-07-01T04:22:52 | 2,025 |

lb308cq | 1dsjasl | This article is two days old and already posted on here.
Note that all of the posts are seemingly of the "I'm a Democrat and Biden has to step down" variety. 🤔 | AnonAmbientLight | 15 | 2024-07-01T04:39:35 | 2,106 |
lb30jle | 1dske16 | Wow what a bold statement. Maybe he will apologize for Jan 6 too | TooMuchPretzels | 217 | 2024-07-01T04:42:27 | 2,122 |
lb30nfc | 1dsjx1c | Do you remember how old and gnarly Biden seemed when he told the Corn Pop story? It was laughable at the time. Go back and watch it. It was in 2017. He’s so much worse now. What are we even doing here people | 5882300EMPIRE | 17 | 2024-07-01T04:43:26 | 2,126 |
lb30vkv | 1dsjc1b | Trump shit has pants at the debate and no one is talking about that.... Diaper Donnie has the bar so low he can shit his pants on stage and it does not matter. | Orposer | 47 | 2024-07-01T04:45:30 | 2,144 |
lb30vqo | 1dsjc1b | Trump did almost exactly what I expected. He lied and dodged questions he didn’t want to answer. The surprising bit was that he showed was restraint and really let Biden flounder.
Biden did not do what was expected of him. He lost his train of thought and frequently had to pause to gather his thoughts. He was finishing his answers with a bunch of time left. He pivoted an abortion question into talking about illegal immigration. His stutter looked worse than ever.
Trump supporters won’t turn away from Trump after this. But weaker Biden supporters may stay home due to his appearance of being very old and mentally not all there. Like, I honestly think there’s around a 50/50 shot Biden kicks the bucket before 2028. | Im_Not_That_Smart_ | 26 | 2024-07-01T04:45:32 | 2,145 |
lb313mj | 1dsi81i | Whether she runs in 2024 or 2028, I really hope she does. She is one of the first candidates since Obama that I'm actually excited about seeing in politics. She comes from a great Midwestern state and won't be nearly as polarizing as Newsom. She has literally had to deal with a bunch of MAGA fanatics trying to assassinate her, so she is the perfect repudiation of that ideology. Plus, she would be the first woman president. I would donate and volunteer for her campaign if I could. | SurfingBirb | 21 | 2024-07-01T04:47:34 | 2,154 |
lb313nu | 1dske16 | I have an interesting anecdotal story to tell. My son's aunt and uncle are actually good people and a good influence in his life, but they are also fierce MAGA. They are evangelical Christians and go to a church that has hosted Lauren Boebert (one time my son was attending the church when she was there).
Anyway, I was expecting them to gloat about the debates, but when my son went to visit the day after the debates, they were very upset about how low quality the debates were. They want both Trump and Biden to step down. Ironically, I agree with them (obviously Trump would never step down). I just wanted to put that out there because it's stunning news to me.
Also, again anecdotal, but I don't see a lot of MAGA celebration over this around my area. It's possible that Trump's obvious lies and immoral behavior are getting to some of the "true believers". | AnAutisticGuy | 11 | 2024-07-01T04:47:34 | 2,155 |
lb313p8 | 1dsjc1b | Fucker said that he would intimidate Putin out of invading Ukraine and that he is somehow Ukraine's saviour, while also being the one who blackmailed Zelenskyy, withheld critical defence resources and got fucking impeached about it. Does nobody remember that??? That he got fucking impeached??
And he goes on to insult the people who died in that war, right off the back of talking about how he supports veterans and military, denying his suckers comment like 10 min earlier.
But no. Look at Biden! He *stutters!* | RomanBlue_ | 670 | 2024-07-01T04:47:35 | 2,156 |

lb31kba | 1dskcxp | Everyone who doesn't live in a Reddit echo chamber has said since January 20th, 2021 that he needed to drop out of the 2024 race to prevent Trump from winning. We are at this spot because of ego, all of them really, RBG, sonia sotomayor, all these people that people like to pretend are good, puts their ego over duty to the country and fucked over the next generation. This time next year there will be a conservative super majority to the supreme court and only ego will be there to blame. | ParappaTheWrapperr | 33 | 2024-07-01T04:51:54 | 2,181 |
lb31nwa | 1dsiqzh | I guess while the media were fixated on Biden's debate shortcomings, they missed out on Trump telegraphing his policies and legislative priorities.
Good luck to the following groups of people should Trump get re-elected: LGBT, single women, women with non-viable births, any household that makes under $400k, foreigners on work visas, any business that relies on migrant workers, and anyone who does not want religion shoved down their throats. | dr_z0idberg_md | 23 | 2024-07-01T04:52:50 | 2,184 |
lb31o77 | 1dsjc1b | This was the swimsuit contest part of the pageant.

lb31p3e | 1dsiyg4 | Reminds me of a joke that made the rounds in my home state a decade ago; farmers in my home county were opposed to a proposal to build a solar farm because it would suck up all the sunlight, so the corn wouldn't grow. I can absolutely imagine Trumplethinskin saying that. | MK5 | 43 | 2024-07-01T04:53:09 | 2,187 |
lb31r2t | 1dske16 | Ironically now Trump is in the position where he just needs to keep his dead down and not to anything stupid, it’s like they have switched positions in that regard from 2020. Of course a little harder for Trump given the legal issues, and his own general personality. | Altruistic-Unit485 | 17 | 2024-07-01T04:53:41 | 2,191 |
lb328pq | 1dskcxp | I think the scary reality is we might be fucked either way, with Biden dropping out or staying in the race. | rimbaud1872 | 11 | 2024-07-01T04:58:15 | 2,205 |

lb34c3o | 1dske16 | I'm getting sick of these deflection articles being posted. Anyone with 3 braincells know that trump will never drop out unless he's forced or dead.
Biden on the other hand is the one that should drop out. I'm no trump fan but Democrats can do better than this. | KehreAzerith | 35 | 2024-07-01T05:18:37 | 2,303 |

UP. He obviously shouldn’t be president and neither should trump so why don’t they stop being self serving roaches and tell him to hang it up!

lb34uy1 | 1dske16 | See the problem with this argument is that everything they say in this article about Trump and all the reasons he shouldn't be a viable nominee and would be a terrible president if reelected are true. This should've been a layup for Biden, a president I'm told has had one of the most productive first terms of any president ever.
He only had to go out there and remind people everything he's done, let them know what he's going to do, and make it absolutely clear what the stakes are. He failed. It was a disaster. So what does it say about Biden when the guy who is woefully unqualified still dunks on him over and over? | jerrychorizo | 16 | 2024-07-01T05:23:50 | 2,330 |

lb35iqa | 1dsjmc5 | Someone else on reddit pointed out that the media is invested in a horse race, and I think that's exactly right. In 2020, elections cost a total of over $14 billion, almost all to media outlets for advertising. If they acknowledged that Trump is a sick fuck, probably borderline alzheimers, with no more business running the country than my 86 year old mother has playing offensive tackle for the Bears, then the election would be a non-event, and they'd forego all that sweet sweet advertising revenue.
Everything they can do to play up the drama, the "who's going to win?" the "latest polls say..." is more $$ in their pockets. | OlderThanMyParents | 152 | 2024-07-01T05:30:26 | 2,357 |
lb35mj4 | 1dsjw4w | I’m undecided on whether Biden has to go, but FFS, can democrats stop with this utterly idiotic refrain of “**He had a bad night**”
NO. It wasn’t a “bad night”, it was evidence of something much bigger than a mere botched answer or incorrect statistic.
It was a frightening and often heartbreaking display of a confused old man not being able to form a coherent sentence.
*People don’t forget that*
We are talking about an electorate that couldn’t forget Dukakis riding in a tank or “The Dean Scream”
And those happened in an age *before social media*
Now, it may play out that Biden does recover somehow, but let’s be realistic about what it will take: About a dozen unscripted interviews with hostile news organizations.
Do you really think that will happen?
And if it *did* happen, do you really think this kind of thing (or worse) wouldn’t happen again?
As others have said, the sad truth is, with age related issues like this, they don’t get better, they get *worse*
Anybody with grandparents / great grandparents knows this and it’s utterly insulting to people to claim their uncle who was found naked wandering in a forest just had a “bad day” | phrozengh0st | 28 | 2024-07-01T05:31:31 | 2,362 |

>Former President Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin says he’ll only end this war if Russia keeps the Ukrainian territory it has already claimed and Ukraine abandons its bid to join NATO.
>**Are Putin’s terms acceptable to you?**
>TRUMP: **First of all, our veterans and our soldiers can’t stand this guy.** They can’t stand him. They think he’s the worst commander in chief, if that’s what you call him, that we’ve ever had. They can’t stand him. So let’s get that straight.
>**And they like me more than just about any of them. And that’s based on every single bit of information.**
>As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real president, a president that knew – that was respected by Putin, he would have never – he would have never invaded Ukraine.
>**A lot of people are dead right now, much more than people know.You know, they talk about numbers. You can double those numbers, maybe triple those numbers.** He did nothing to stop it. In fact, **I think he encouraged Russia from going in.**
>**I’ll tell you what happened, he was so bad with Afghanistan**, it was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should – he should have fired those generals like I fired the one that you mentioned, and so he’s got no love lost. **But he should have fired those generals.**
Biden may have appeared old but Trump was either rambling non-sensical shit, straight up lying his ass off or both. | flippy123x | 85 | 2024-07-01T06:27:22 | 2,534 |

What, is he gonna try to bench press 100 pounds next week to show he's not old, get hospitalized, and we'll have the exact same conversations play out all over again as he tries to salvage his reelection bid again after the accident? There are so many other more capable Dems that can easily win in this election where the majority would happily vote for neither of the two octogenarians, but NOPE. We can't have nice things because an old man's attempt at a second term is more important than US Democracy, the climate, NATO, Ukraine, and Taiwan!

lb3bfw7 | 1dsel6l | This is not the offensive strategy Dems should be using after the last debate, I’m sorry. Focus on his terrible policy and character.

lb3d3ts | 1dsiyg4 | Pretty crazy that 46+% of Americans seem to support total world extinction and to become Belarus under Putin just so they can get their vegeant genocide against undesirables. I'm not serving Vlad, so I'll be in my landfill. That knowledge is freeing as I don't mind telling people how stupid they are now. I'm a trained historian and academic. I've been sounding these alarm bells since I started graduate school. I, along with smarter colleagues elsewhere, predicted all of the current political landscape. Why? It's absurdly simplistic, evil, and banal. We were laughed at, ridiculed, and discredited because it can't happen here. But it has and it does and now it's almost the end of the Republic entirely.
I spent my life being ashamed of where this country is going, but it turns out I really am American. When the shoe comes down, it turns out I'm a patriot afterall and despise the idea of foreign rule, a rule already imposed upon me by the barely alive government.
Since I don't mind admitting things now, I admit that I don't like fucking Russians (not Russian people really but Russia as a historical political entity). Everyone is a little racist, a little problematic, and I wear my cultural anti-Russian animosity on my sleeve. I got jumped by Russians in school intent on killing me because my grandfather fled Germany during WWII. Obviously I was a Nazi, smh. You don't really come back from that sort of targeted hate crime without taking camera obscura to your experience.
The idea of having to be Putin's slave peasant enrages me beyond anything. To see so called Americans sign their freedoms to Putin just because they don't like black Americans or queer Americans is disgusting. What the fucking Hell happened to our so-called revolutionary spirit? That alone is enough to vote against Trump. Stopping Civil War and Genocide is just icing on the cake.
America is falling fast and the alleged patriots are killing it. We are so close to being Belarus and losing all semblance of sovereignty. Why do these people want to be fucking Russian so bad? They've spent nearly a century convincing Americans Russia = Biggest Bad only to make a Russian puppet king. Hello?

If I was a previously competent airline pilot, but one day as you were boarding the plane you see that I'm stone cold drunk, would you still get on the plane?
No. What I did yesterday is no longer relevant to the current situation. | FaintCommand | 21 | 2024-07-01T07:16:36 | 2,657 |
lb3g7ri | 1dsiqzh | As an outsider observing American politics, I find myself surprised not by Biden's performance in the recent debate, but rather by the reactions from his supporters and the media. The signs of Biden's potential incompetence have been evident for some time, and it is well-known that his strong delivery in events such as the State of the Union or post-debate rallies heavily relies on the use of a teleprompter. Without this aid, Biden reverts to his natural state, which was clearly demonstrated during the debate.
What surprised me is that Biden's supporters and the media seem to have higher expectations of him than what he is realistically capable of delivering. It appears that the Biden campaign team may have incorrectly assumed that voters would support anyone, even a severely underqualified candidate, as long as they are running against Trump. Biden's team might be relying on this anti-Trump sentiment to secure votes, not because of Biden's competence, but because Trump is the opponent. They hope to win another term despite Biden's shortcomings, believing they can get away with it due to the opposition.
I generally agree with Johnson's assessment that Biden's incompetence is a current problem for the United States, given that he is currently unfit for his role as president. It's a strange situation where the media and Biden supporters remain silent about his fitness for his current presidency, while focusing on the next election. It seems they care more about which party will be in power than the competency of the president.
It is plausible that the Democrats may ultimately choose to maintain a more peaceful atmosphere throughout the summer and autumn, hoping that their supporters will vote for anyone representing their party, even if it is Biden. This strategy banks on the idea that voters will prioritize party allegiance over individual candidate qualifications. However, I believe this to be a risky approach, as voting for a leader should entail a clear understanding and acceptance of that specific individual's capabilities and responsibilities. Casting a vote for a president with the expectation that the vote is for the entire team, hoping that the team can compensate for the president's incompetence, fundamentally undermines the principles of the election process. | PringGar | 14 | 2024-07-01T07:27:55 | 2,682 |

lb3gxtq | 1dsjc1b | As someone who will vote Biden regardless, I'm getting really tired of the spin, borderline gaslighting. The debate was awful for Biden, period. Biden did the right thing by getting out on the campaign trail and mustering enthusiasm. Just stop with the bullshit. | Peshhhh | 12 | 2024-07-01T07:36:38 | 2,695 |
lb3gyc5 | 1dsiqzh | This article is why trump is going to win. Those who oppose him lack the proper edge to defeat him. He's not dropping out. We're 8 years into trumpville... Do you seriously think good is just going to naturally prevail? Even at this point? After fucking everything? And here the Democrats go... Continually lobbing in soft pitch underhand throws to him and all his supporters regarding all there wrongdoing, lightly speaking out against this shit and just expecting things just to fall into place. No one has an edge, no one seems pissed.. no one has the balls to step out and call this shit for what it is... Biden and his party can't suck it up and admit that the biggest thing going against him is EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE DEBATE and name a successor... Trump isn't going to win this election. It's the Democrats who are going to lose it... Again. | ShiftyUsmc | 21 | 2024-07-01T07:36:47 | 2,697 |
lb3h6kn | 1dsiyg4 | It is so funny what some people deem should and shouldn't be electric vehicles... Super carriers are electric vehicles..so are almost all of our submarines... just with a nuclear reactor.
Making the next gen Abrams a hybrid gives it some scary sounding abilities like increased range...oh and the ability to lurk in cover with the turbine engines off...running off batteries for the sensors and all the weapon systems...so it will be quieter and have a lower thermal signature. And will be able to move before starting the engines up. All those seem to be perks for a increasingly deadly battlefield. But no...lets roll coal on the battlefield...as being wasteful with a vital resource while exposing your position will prove your anti-WOKE...or for the soldiers, just taking a dirt knap. | prototype7 | 17 | 2024-07-01T07:39:30 | 2,701 |

lb3hd5d | 1dsiwp9 | At this point what's appaling is the stupidity of American voters who are ready to elect a guy who lead a fascist coup against their country, on top of being a criminal who's primary reason for running is to avoid going to jail. The fact that he's lying in a presidential debate is to be expected and completely irrelevant at this point. | Goodk4t | 13 | 2024-07-01T07:41:39 | 2,707 |
