JazzG 100% he was the best suited in the pools and they went with him. I remember Obama saying something between the lines that Biden did not even really want to do it, and he was afraid he would ruin his legacy...but Biden felt "he had to". Or some shit, but ok, now it's 4 years later, do they really have nobody else? This is elderly abuse no joke

    im only going to vote in november because i live in a state that will be decided by a razor thin margin. some of my normie friends cant figure out why i dont like biden, and its just really dismaying to me how clueless so many people are.

    Biden's presidency is a real monkeys paw for him. Spent his whole life desperately trying to be president while he was sharp and a great public speaker and now he's finally got the job he's this.

    The geriatric race for the Presidency is a worry, but it's a symptom not a cause, like the composition of SCOTUS.

    It'd be nice if some of the embarrassing Washington pundits—who always end up writing as if the necrotic US political system is some reason to shed a single jewelled tear at the miracle of democracy—would mount a deeper critique, but my guess is the spectacle will just be the usual come November.

    the funniest thing is that biden is gaining in polls. a few months ago, people were freaking the fuck out because trump was basically up 5-6 points nationally and leading in all the battleground polls. now its basically a dead heat nationally and in the battleground states. yet biden has made a bunch of gaffes, looks even worse physically/mentally, and his handling of gaza has been absolutely horrific. and hes closed the gap. i guess some of those on the fence weirdos in the center are having trouble convincing themselves to vote for the convicted felon over the guy who should be getting charged with war crimes

    Doesn’t change my life who’s in charge. Biden couldn’t stop senseless slaughter in the open air prison that is Palestine for the past half year. So does it matter outside US?

      Genuinely don’t know if Biden can survive the campaign trail looking at recent videos.

        goon its absolutely brutal. he legit looks like he has no idea where he is half the time. if republicans were running any kind of reasonable candidate, they'd have to be considered favorites at this point. but their candidate is going on rants about being electrocuted vs being the victim of a shark attack, so, its still fairly even. what a time to be alive

            mdgoonah41 their candidate is going on rants about being electrocuted vs being the victim of a shark attack,

            I'm not a big Trump fan but those random rants he goes on are hilarious.

              oh its hilarious, and if he wasnt such a threat to basic rights of minorities and women, he'd be endearing in the crazy grandpa kind of way.

                Qwiss Crazy how when this whole Hunter Biden laptop story broke in the last election how the media colluded to suppress that story. It was a real showing of power the Democrats had in the media in how they got everyone in line because it could cost them the election. I reckon they thought the Hilary story just before the last election swung it for Trump so were trying to avoid that.

                Also played a massive part in how the mainstream media is losing trust every day. Hunter also is facing some Tax charges as well.

                mdgoonah41 The way Biden is I just can't see anything but a Trump win. They isn't a massive difference in age but it honestly looks like Biden is being pilled up and sent out when needed whereas Trump isn't as sharp as he was but still seems with it.

                      JazzG not only did they use their sway to get it ignored by the traditional media they got the story banned on Twitter at the time. No other similar story had ever been covered up on social media like that before. It was crazy.

                          How do you get a left leaning story banned on Twitter?

                          JazzG Hunter Biden found guilty on all three gun related charges.

                          I'm no supporter of Joe Biden, but I can't see the relevance of this. His son's a drug addict who bought (but did not use) a gun? Who cares?

                          Criminality in the sphere of any politician only seems salient if it goes clearly to the politician's character, or points to a probity issue or a point at which they could be vulnerable to subversion.

                          There are far more serious probity concerns on the Democrat side, the GOP side, and Biden and Trump's specific cases. It's not like this is the Iran-Contra affair.

                            War hits a bit different when your country doesn't fully support it for a change—I'm certainly feeling it as an Australian, having been used to my corrupt governments offering stonewall support to US imperial misadventures, no matter the carnage.

                              JazzG What was the whole Biden laptop shit? Turned out to be nothing, I'm out of the loop here ? Also I will never get over this, when people talk like this, main stream media showing of power lol, brother Fox News is the biggest TV station in the USA, bar none, has something like 200% more views then CNN. But more then this, all of the big social media apps the ones that can get you elected as the president of any country, Facebook, Twitter, YT and tiktok cannot, and will never stop sucking Trumps dick. Trump is the main stream media man(this is without getting into the army of bots from China and Russia that work for him and push him out there or the religious leaders that push him all over the USA and the world - not the place to talk about that here)

                                  HomeSteak this is true. new media and fox seems to be skewed towards trump. new media has endless smoke for msnbc, cnn etc but of all the 'lamestream' entities fox seems to get off lightly for the litany of lies they espouse

                                  from what I've been seeing since the midterms and other assorted races, is there seems to be an interesting phenomenon where Ds overperform when Biden is not at the top of the ticket, and Rs underperform when trump is not on the ticket. the polling - which has been favouring Rs most of the time - hasn't been repeatedly flummoxed by this phenomena. God know what will happen in november

                                  I'm still firmly anti-trump. people seem to still see him as some renegade outsider like it's still 2016. he's just another corrupt piece of shit politician, with a cadre of the worst right wing ghouls pulling his strings for added measure.
