ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted July 5 Author ATRL Moderator Posted July 5 I think a lot of people (me included) have tuned out politics from the last election until recently and the contrast between how Biden was on the initial campaign trail even with its flaws is very apparent to how he looks and sounds now.ย

Especially knowing that they'd be pushing him over the finish line again in four years' time when his decline would be markedly worse.ย ย They really are doing the Feinstein thing with him all over againโฆ

bunnyeyes Posted July 6 Posted July 6 More congress people coming out against him and Biden claiming it was just a single congressmanย ย him saying he doesn't remember if he saw the debate or notย
shelven Posted July 6 Posted July 6 If the full interview ends up being as bad as that one clip, I'm upping my odds of Biden dropping out from 70% to 80%. This is supposed to be the big moment that makes things better for him, and not only might it fail to do that, but it could make thingsย actively worse ย I don't care how many times he tells a camera or has an intern tweet on his behalf that he's not dropping out. No leader who has dropped out or resigned has ever said "yeah I think I might!" before they do it. The pressure on him to step aside will start to become insurmountable.

bunnyeyes Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Can we turn this interview into an ATRL drinking game to make the death of democracy less painfulย ย 3
Redstreak Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I'm predicting he'll announce his withdrawal by Friday, this did not help him
Eat The Acid Posted July 6 Posted July 6 So is the interview over yet? Someone post it here when it's online.ย
Capris Groove Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I think a lot of people are missing the point that there are millions of others who see a feeble old fool when they see Biden and are willing to hold their nose to vote for someone who gaslights them into thinking he created the 'best economy the U.S has ever seen'. ย I don't agree that if he were to step down that it'd be a mess. I think it would create a groundswell of excitement among the base if he passed it on to Harris - who could create an enormous buzz with her own running mate. Imagine the press if this were to happen. Trump NEEDS Biden, folks. Without him, the Dems are better able to expose him for the tyrant he's aiming to be without all the focus being on Biden's age and mental capabilities.ย 3
GhostBox Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) The entire interview has been better than that one clipย ย still he needs to show toughness with his voice. It's the most notable thing in the debate and in this interview.ย ย it's like he needs a good cough drop ๐ ย maybe its his nervesย Edited July 6 by GhostBox

And he was set to win the primary until Obama literally got half the field to drop-out and both endorse Biden as the only electable candidate and attack Sanders. ย Let alone the irony that Sanders had a health scare in 2020 yet convinced voters it was fine in a way that Biden is seemingly incapable of doing now. Mess. Sis, i largely ignore you and you quoted me with a three paragraph essay saying i'm enraged, and you're using engagement on something i don't remember as a "gotcha" moment (like i actually have no clue what you're talking about). Pot meet kettle. ๐คฃ๐คฃ ย Keep thinking of me as I continue to ignore you.ย ย ot: If biden bros can only point to other people and call them stupid for not voting for them (similar to bernie bros in 2016 and 2020, and similar to hillary stans in 2016) he is going to lose. He pretty much has already lost in 2024, but his team (and blue maga) are really butchering this. ย
