The Joe Biden Drops Out thread

[hobart]

Joe is either not senile, or he's been senile for 25+ years.

With whataboutism being the go to (only really) republican strategy, it makes good press to try and use this to somehow offset the current president being mentally, morally, physically, and intellectually unfit, but Biden is no more or less confused than he has been forever.

I remember watching videos of him rambling on the senate floor about the "Columbus Indians" for ten minutes when they won the pennant(s) in the mid 90s.

All he has to do is replace all the goons Trump has appointed in positions all cross the government, delegate most of his work to senior administration officials, and then wander around the White House...

Exactly. I could use four years of business as usual with establishment adults in charge. I don't even care from which party at this point.

Well I guess if his shadowy cabal of unnamed and unaccountable advisors feels like they have to hide Joe in the basement and start spreading the "don't debate" meme, then that kind of undercuts everything you just said. I mean they kinda know his situation better than you and me, no? And when the standard thing is have you candidate be out there talking to people, giving interviews, connecting, spreading his message, and he's just off-line and off-air for months? What does that tell you?

On July 20 Trump sat outside in the heat for an hour with Chris Wallace and answered every question without hesitation. You might not like his answers but he had them. He went the full hour, and even though Wallace is with Fox he asked some hard questions.

When Wallace later asked the Biden people for a similar interview they told him to go fuck himself.

Facts on the ground baby. Facts on the ground.

His campaign thus far reminds me of a Weekend at Bernie’s. It really blows my mind that he is supposedly the best the Democratic Party has to offer. All they needed was a young ethnic man or woman with a little bit of charisma to swoon their base, but they decided they would do better with a questionably alive chomo. How is anybody supposed to rally behind him?

This guy must have some heavy baggage to be passed over like that. The rumor is he is super-closeted and that wouldn't look good once he was outed. Not because he would be gay but because these days you're not supposed to hide it. Still better than Biden, no?

So many people better than Biden:

Sanders cock-blocked each and every single one of them. He came in 2nd so no one else mattered. It was either him or Biden, and the decision was made. Alea iacta est!

Biden is essentially the candidate that was chosen by black people. His opponents were relatively well matched until Super Tuesday which was just a landslide in Biden's favor because for some reason the blacks here just love old white religious democrat men.

None of Biden's opponents had any chance of winning the South, and Biden was postulated to have a decent shot at winning Pennsylvania which is an important swing state.

Winning the presidential election in the US is about appealing to key demographics in key regions, not winning the most votes. To win as a democrat, you have to be popular with black people both to win the primary and to have a shot at North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, etc. Also Florida to some extent. The (D) next to your name will carry the West coast and New England.

There are many things I detest about the Democratic party, but its reliance on racial minorities probably bothers me the most. I wish they'd find a way to appeal to middle class suburban whites.

Sorry, Joe sold us out to China. He is weak on China. For 8 years they had no plan to deal with China - can't deal with another 2.0.

Trump is bad on so many levels, but at least he is taking the right approach on China that prior admins and other countries (Germany!) haven't done.

Let's not even get into Hunter, yikes.

At a superficial level that is also the one thing Trump's admin has done that I love.

But really he hasn't done much of substance to punish China for being liars, cheaters, and intellectual property thieves. Just a whole lot of rhetoric, threats, and some ineffectual tariffs. Better than nothing though

Most politicians will never be president. I understand the US systems places different political institutions in competition with each other? Doesn’t that mean it is in most politicians’ favour to install as impotent and manipulable president as possible? Doing so removes a check/ balance against them self?
