So at this point it's apparent he learned nothing, and democrats genuinely thought they could force biden out, and we would just vote kamala in... Stupid pelosi, that's not the reason kids love cinnamon toast crunch!
Dude, just stop. I voted for Kamala, I wanted Biden out because by the debate, it was undeniable that Biden literally couldn't do the job and we were actually being asked to vote for a corpse over a fascist. I mean, I would, but still, in the name of the Buddha. Trump came in and did more (awful shit that I disagree with) in the first hour than Biden did in his whole term. No getting bullied by his own party, no fretting about Congress or whatever, he just came out of the gate swinging. Meanwhile, democrats can't even make it off the launch pad and have to settle with reframing already existing stuff as a win, as in the case of student loans. If the democrats want to win, they need to give people a reason to show up besides "slightly slower slide into fascism"
Republican learned plenty.
Their wealth skyrocketed from covid. And we demonstrated that we can pump money short term into pharmaceuticals so that the rich are safe.
They want another pandemic. But this time a never ending one.
Biden actually would have lost in a blowout. I think democrats not making any effort to reign in media and social media companies after the pandemic is the major problem.
+There is a point where failing to knock on doors paired with media blaring lies everywhere ends up with a world where like average swing state morons are voting for a leopard to eat their face because the dems are the real face eaters or something.
Dems didn't force Biden out, voters did. He would have lost HARD.
Biden took himself out by losing a debate to Trump
Biden could have literally punched trump in the face and still been weak and old.
Because most of the country didn't watch. They read Twitter reactions.
And now we have people like you who will blame every fucking horrifying thing trump does on Biden because your social media is full of tankies.
Trump is to blame for his own actions, but as someone who watched the debate, holy shit it looked like Biden was dying onstage
Trump didn't even try to retaliate. It was literally punching down
I watched it live. Biden was actively sunsetting in front of us. If he was my grandpa I would have been calling nursing homes that afternoon.
And trump and vance said shit as insane as "concept of a plan".
The key is that (social) media keyed in on biden spending the first half of his debate passing out from chugging nyquil and just laughed at the "joys" of turmp saying stupid shit.
Social media is what won this. It is comparable to JFK vs Nixon back in the day where people who listened like Nixon and people who watched loved JFK. Except it is instead that people mostly just waited for someone else to tell them how to feel period.
That debate would have been a disaster in any era since radio was invented, with or without social media
Except it was only a disaster for one candidate.
Which is the point. trump can be literally dismantling the country from day one and people STILL talk about biden because twitter and their favorite compromised twitch streamers do.
THAT is the problem. In a rational world, we would have had the "turd and a douche sandwich" stupidity with how horrible both candidates were. Instead? BIDEN OLD!!!!!!! FUCK YOU BIDEN!!!
And if you don't think you are susceptible to being manipulated? Look in a damned mirror and do some soul searching because we all are.
Trump wasn't rambling on more than usual. He seemed reasonably alert. Biden was sleepwalking, talking nonsense and repeating "and by the way" a thousand times. If we're talking only about the debate, trump put on a much better performance and won by a wide margin. I don't need social media to tell me that, I saw it with my own eyes
Don't normalize Trump's rambling.
That ship sailed years ago
Biden was polling significantly worse than Harris.
