People were expecting state of the union Biden. Instead we got Magoo. We don't need a strong man to lead, we just need more than what Biden currently is. The DNC is out to fucking lunch and probably handed Trump an easy win. Does this stop me from eating a shit sandwich to help protect our democracy? No, will angrily eat that shit sandwich for a few more good years.
The presidency is not one person, it's an entire administration and general philosophy. We're fed a lie that these debates always matter, they matter when candidates are unknown and then have a forum to stand out as leaders and educate voters about a vision for the country. That's NOT the case here, the candidates are wholly known entities and these fucking debates absolutely do not matter.
The president is the leader of their presidency not the other way round. This debate has been very important to showcase that Biden is not capable of leading an argument let alone his staff. It's not too late for him to bow out with dignity and get someone who has wit to lead.
Genuinely curious, what do you think the Biden admin has accomplished in the last 4 years?
You having to ask that is telling, isn't it?
Ha... Yes it's very telling, but [Whoooossshh] it's actually telling about how tuned in you are beyond the basic surface talking points you absorb through social media - the Biden admin needs to do A LOT more and Gaza response is indefensible, while at the very same time, they are technically on paper the SINGLE most progressive administration of my lifetime.
I'm not going to lie, your reply there was priceless. It was the equivalent of the arrogant, condescending, puffed up tone saying, "psssh, I already told you idiots... I don't know how to read?" it's like, you really think you're looking down on people, while looking up at them from the ground. Golly.
I think you're mistaking that this election is determined by facts. It's not. It's a populist election driven on how people feel. I get your determination and frustration but you I think you need to reevaluate your strategy here.
