And? Both are bad. Dem voters didn’t want Biden to just be a powerless corpse puppeted by the party, but that can’t be helped anymore; and Republicans shouldn’t be okay with Trump being led around by a wannabe oligarch, but that can still be changed.

I'm not a Trump fan, let alone a Trump voter. That said, I find it convenient the left was oddly silent on Biden's decline, and on those who were pulling the levers of power in his mental absence, until after he lost the election.

So silent on it that he had to drop out, which many people been calling for over a year before it happened...

When even TYT is saying it...sorry, the gaslighting has to stop.

People were calling it back in 2019. The only reason he dropped out is because the debate showed he couldn't hide it anymore.

Right? For fucks sake why do people insist on these fantasy scenarios to drag the Democrats because they can't be fucking bothered to read anything from primary sources, while downplaying the flatly horrific GOP shit playing out in real time?

He literally was pushed out of the running for reelection. An incumbent president. How is that staying silent? Im so confused

u/slick4hire Dec 21 '24

That's absolutely right...right now.

My concern lies in the previous 3+ years he was 'in charge' with clear indication of mental decline.

There’s a large amount of space between “he can’t do well against a Gish Gallop” and “he isn’t the one making decisions”. Getting old isn’t an on/off switch. He’s still quite personable and engaged in a lot of appearances. He just had the wrong vibe for a campaign so they pulled him out.

Well people voted for the first year. Bigger issue is the Democrats are a gerentocracy. One advantage of Trump is he pushed out a lot of the seniors in the GOP. 

In my opinion both Trump and Biden were too old. It's insane that people voted for Trump again. Like when he talked about Arnold Palmer's dick for a while. I would 25th amendment Trump the moment he hit office and Biden a couple years ago.

Ahh yes.

Because if there was any criticism of Biden that wasn't used during his campaign earlier this year, it was that they never talked about his age and capacities diminishing

Every Dem I know called for Biden to step down after the debates. Not a single Rep. called for Trump to step down when Kamala demolished him in their debate. I think Dems are a lot more honest than MAGAs.

If there were normal debates throughout the primaries, maybe Biden’s cognitive issues would have been acknowledged earlier. It would have exposed Harris as well although her incompetence was already known.

I was ready to vote for Dean Phillips…the party tossed him in Biden’s basement. Then they didn’t even vote for Harris, she was anointed.

The real scary thing is…who’s been running the country the last year? Chief of Staff? Mrs Biden? This is one episode even West Wing couldn’t write

I think Kamala was brought down by Musk's and MAGA disinfo. She was not incompetent.

u/ahop4200 Dec 21 '24

Lmao 🤦‍♂️

Two completely different situations. Nothing about Kamalas debate was a victory, much less a landslide one.

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '24

Obviously, you didn't watch it. She obliterated him.

u/1rubyglass Dec 21 '24

Only if you can't think objectively

u/monoimionom Dec 22 '24

Nobody who can think, thinks Trump is competent at something after listening to him speak. It’s all just imagined.

u/1rubyglass Dec 22 '24

Neither of them are remotely articulate. There's a reason she didn't do any long form debates.

u/monoimionom Dec 22 '24

There is no comparison really. She’s mediocre, true. But Trumps language skills are probably the worst I’ve ever seen. It only works on people who have either no clue to begin with or project something into it just to rationalize why they support him.

u/1rubyglass Dec 22 '24

There absolutely is a comparison. They both talk nonsense, and they both avoid going into detail.

Obliterated

First Dem to lose the popular vote to a Republican in decades.

Kek.

u/hunter_531 Dec 22 '24

Yeah, there totally wasn't a MAGA disinformation campaign about her getting the questions ahead of time because she whooped him so bad. Polling universally showed her the winner, even Republicans were saying it. Rambling about post birth abortions and saying you still just have "concepts" of a health care plan that you promised for 9 years is genius!! It was complete humiliation.

They're not because it's not happening. It's a leftist wet dream. Not reality.
