Edit: Biden literally has nothing to gain from it. There is zero chance that as soon as the mics go live it doesn’t turn into a degenerate shitstorm from Trump, and he’s never going to out shout down a dimentia addled 5yo.
Even if Biden manages some good zingers in there, or some “serious” talking points, the people that need to here them never will.
I think there’s a chance that if he’s able to stay energetic enough throughout it, it may stave off the “yeah trump tried a coup but have you considered biden old?” crowd. This election is very likely to come down to some tight numbers in a handful to states, things like that may very well matter.
It could just as easily absolutely backfire if he has a fuckup though, so it’s risky as hell.
You’re not going to find many people here that disagree with that. We’re just well aware that as awful as Biden is regarding it, there’s a 0% chance Trump isn’t miles worse. Anyone who doesn’t want to accept that is delusional.
I never said you said that, and I really don’t think I implied it. I said anyone who doesn’t realize the reality of the situation is a moron. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent to interpret that as “you specifically think this and are stupid”
No of course not but things don’t happen in a vacuum. On balance, the alliance with Israel and the West is more important because it contains Iran.
There is no area more critical to global security than the Middle East for the next 100 years, and Iran is a time bomb of far right religious insanity. Iran has 90,000,000 people living in it, man. I’m talking about 90,000,000 people. 90,000,000. You want to talk about 30,000 as if its the end of the world, as if it matters more than an alliance that protects tens of millions of people, even from themselves? There are floods that kill 30,000 people in an afternoon. Hamas has allies all over the region that kills 30,000 civilians every year. The world isn’t going to cede any democracy, flawed or not, to Iran, or any other religious dictatorship, over a small town worth of people.
Preventing a larger war between Israel and Iran is how life and human rights will be secured and protected for new generations in the middle east, it will absolutely not come from any Imamate or Caliphate, or from any far right system of violent religious autocracy, such as are wildly popular and deeply entrenched in Gaza, Iran, and Yemen.
but again… the people that need to see that won’t. the conservative-aligned outlets will trim anything that makes biden look good, and that’s all they’ll see. there is pretty much nobody that isn’t decided between the two.
where biden is going to loose, it’s shit like gaza driving muslim/palistinian/anti-genocide voters away. Seriously, it could have been a godsend for his pulling if he vetoed the Israeli aid package. but nope. instead he’s going to sanction an unit and actually trust “Naw we’re not doing warcrimes” IDF to not just completely ignore.
I really don’t understand someone who is so addled/low-info as to honestly come to such a conclusion, but apparently a lot of them exist. So a candidate is old as hell, who GAF? Donnie is nearly as old as him anyway, and it’s not like there won’t be a VP, a cabinet, etc…
I seriously wonder how long people will cling to that as things like life extension become a reality, I really do…humans can be very, very stupid as a group, even as there is a subset of humans doing absolutely amazing and incredible things to extend our technological reach…I almost wish there was a way nearly all humans could get an IQ upgrade before some of these other breakthroughs, so all the dumbasses don’t hold us back and/or end the whole thing due to their blinkered existence.
We’ll never change the minds of MAGAs, they’re literally driven by emotion, not facts. And I’ll never vote for Trump because I recognize who he is and what he represents.
That leaves currently undecided voters. It seems crazy that some people haven’t made up their minds on Trump, but it’s the truth. All polling and post-2016/2020 analysis agrees: these people will decide the election. So talk to them and promote Joe Biden and an alternative to Trump!
It’s not about changing MAGAs. MAGAs are set. That is the wrong strategic outlook. It’s about changing the undecided that lean towards MAGAs. This is how he won the first time. The marketing campaign (along with the Russians) was allowed to find an algorithm to isolate those undecideds and turn them.
They aren’t obvious. They are usually the ones that don’t partake in discussions. They are the ones that don’t have a stance. And there are many of them.
I’m not even sure he would shut up with a gun pointed to his head and a clear instruction “Shut up or die. One more word and I’ll shoot you in the face!” — he would still say something
It would be an epic shitshow.

You never know, maybe we get to see Trump’s heart explode live on TV. That would be memorable
“So, you all saw my son’s dick, right. Yeah. He takes after me. I hear you have a tiny dick.” might do it.
“Lots of people are saying it, even the gals you paid!”
I think that depends on the supreme Court

The Biden old crowd has moved on to Gaza. Every so often they replay the hits though.
Apparently the NYT uses it as an old standby, mostly because of their petty butthurt.
I’ve never cared about Biden’s age. Centrists were ageist as hell during the 2016 primaries, and I don’t go there.
Biden supports genocide and he should stop. No matter how much it would disappoint centrist Democrats.
You’re not going to find many people here that disagree with that. We’re just well aware that as awful as Biden is regarding it, there’s a 0% chance Trump isn’t miles worse. Anyone who doesn’t want to accept that is delusional.
You’d think so, wouldn’t you.
You go on to insinuate that I’m a trumper for saying anything that isn’t flat out worship of Biden and his support for genocide.
Not sure where I implied that at all. I simply said expecting Trump to be any better on the issue is moronic.
So you weren’t doing the “you think trump would be better?” thing?
I never said you said that, and I really don’t think I implied it. I said anyone who doesn’t realize the reality of the situation is a moron. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent to interpret that as “you specifically think this and are stupid”
Biden doesn’t see it as a genocide and neither do a lot of people.
Anyone who pretends it’s not genocide knows better.
A lot of people don’t see the Holocaust as a genocide. Those people are stupid.
7,000,000 > 30,000. You sound overly emotional. Check your figures.
Are you saying that 30,000 is acceptable to you?

I love the Biden is old so we have to vote for the other old guy argument.

“The Great Hack” is a truly eye opening experience.
We’re in agreement. Did you mean to reply to the parent comment?
I think so! Sorry. I had to find the link and might have clicked wrong.
No worries!
Just make them swear in under threat of perjury. That shuts the clown up real fast.
I’m not even sure he would shut up with a gun pointed to his head and a clear instruction “Shut up or die. One more word and I’ll shoot you in the face!” — he would still say something
will you SHUT UP, man?
