news 2024 US Election Megathread 🇺🇸🏛️

[ZeroSuitBritney]

First post on page 1000. I am honored.

 

I would like to just scream from the rooftop that:

 

Genocide Joe Is O-V-E-R. He is an ugly, old, evil, white geriatric man who belongs in prison, along with Trump, and is complicit in the live-streamed + American funded genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel. He deserves a slow and painful DEATH. Biden's re-election campaign has already been doomed for MONTHS prior to the debate because of how useless he was as a president to actually help Americans in ways they need to be helped, along with early signs that he is mentally checked out and cannot run the country for another term.

 

 

*Side note: We would not be in the current situation we are in had the DNC not pulled every string in the book to stop a certain candidate in 2016 who's policies most Americans agreed with, regardless of what party they are affiliated with. They tried to convince us that Hillary was the only one who could beat Trump even though all signs showed otherwise... all because the Democratic Party would rather have a far right lunatic like Trump as POTUS than a "leftist" who would actually make changes to American lives.

I'm kind of shocked Trump hasn't announced his VP during the middle of all this mess. 

At this rate, Trump could wait til after the election to announce his unpopular vp choice. 
For the next 4 months the news is going to be dominated by Democrat chaos. No one is paying attention to Trump, it would be smart for him to just be quiet and let the Dems unravel

Besides the media going crazy every other thing points to Biden staying in the the race.
 

still raising millions , his poll numbers didn't completely tank. Most high profile people still supporting him.
 

🤷

Relying on the ABC interview, something that will be watched by a fraction of the debate's viewers. Probably even a smaller fraction of those who saw the Waffle House video

 

How is it "critical"

His poll numbers didn't "tank" because he was already doing horribly.

Exactly and even then, they still dipped

 

Wasn't it Biden's idea to do the early debate? Biden would have had a much easier time if he bombed the 1st debate and then had a similar audience for the 2nd one where he could quickly recover a couple weeks later. Instead, the next time he'd have that kind of reach is at a debate months away.

Am I the only one who thinks it's too late to replace Biden? The DNC have been gaslighting us for months saying that he's the only option

It's definitely too late.

Reading the article, Biden is increasingly aware of how bad things are looking so his appearances in the upcoming days, such as the ABC interview, are important to assuage fears.

We are all gonna die under Trump fascism because the 60 year old campaign strategists in the Dem establishment think the average undecided Dem-leaning voter is a rich white conservative suburbanite who doesn't want to vote for a black woman as president as opposed to the average undecided Dem-leaning voter being young working class progressive black women.

I think too that the VP selection will depend on if Kamala is at the top of the ticket or not.

I don't think it's too late to replace Biden. If it were August and especially if the convention had passed then yes.

 

If they do it, it has to be right after the holiday weekend.

It's NOT too late to replace him with Harris.

 

 

it IS too late to replace him with anyone else 🤷

The good (?) thing about Biden bot dropping out is that it will destroy the Dem camp after he inevitably loses. 

 

The discourse about old people's arrogance is going to be legendary.

Welp there ya go 🤷

The problem with the "the ABC interview can/will turn things around!" theory is that Biden's in a mostly inescapable hole on this issue now. If someone who watched the debate is now convinced (or was already convinced beforehand) that Biden doesn't have the mental capacity to serve another term, the ABC interview isn't going to change that either way. If Biden does decently well, people will still think that he's capable of keeping things together in controlled environments but falls apart in a high pressure situation (or after 9PM ). And obviously if he bombs the interview, that's basically the nail in the coffin for him. 
 

The only scenario where the ABC interview meaningfully improves Biden's position is if he does incredibly well, but like… what does that even look like in the context of a sit down interview with a news program? And even if there was some magical performance Biden could give in that context to leave a powerful positive impression, it's entirely unclear that Biden is capable of delivering that. His remarks after the SCOTUS immunity decision was his first chance to give that type of performance, and it fell squarely in the "did fine enough in normal circumstances but not nearly enough to address people's concerns after the debate" category. 
 

I just truly don't think this issue is going away. The Dems' only two options are to address it with him withdrawing or take a gamble that it won't be a high-priority issue to voters in November (despite polling very consistently suggesting otherwise so far).

You really think ANY VP in that position would give an answer other than this? I know your posts give delusional but c'mon. A 6th grader's media literacy could determine that this means absolutely nothing.
