Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's got this shit backwards...
He's got this outdated view based on boomer logic of what voters want.
Most voters are under 40 this election, at our oldest we were we teenagers during 9/11. Most literally can't remember pre 9/11.
We don't want a leader that displays strength by a refusal to listen to the public. One that makes up their mind and charges ahead no matter what
If Biden had came out the next morning after the debate and said that first paragraph at a press briefing. It would have helped his numbers with that demographic more than anything else. And that's who he struggles with, he can't afford not to have them because trump has 65 and up.
But if he just straight up said:
That's the type of presidential shit that voters who grew up post 9/11 and have since learned how wrong it was want. Instead of what the narrative has been the last week, everyone would have been hyping his appearances and "giving him a shot" he'd have completely drowned out trump in coverage, but this time for a good reason.
Like, he's running against trump, it's not hard to come up with shit like this, but this is what happens where you stop listening to anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you. It's a spiral lots of people fall into when they become wealthy/powerful/successful
You hit the nail on the head. The fact that he hasn’t come out and said anything himself speaks volumes. everything is behind closed doors or through a prepared speech. We want proof that the man is able to speak publicly without someone feeding him information and he refuses to demonstrate that to us.
As tends to happen in political discussion threads
I just read your comment history. Speaking from experience, huh?
