So tired of neoliberal incompetence and hubris.

Imagine if Cornel West was on stage with them.

I don't care who it is at this point, literally anyone besides Biden would win this election. He's literally the only person who could lose this at this point.

Hillary Clinton pops out of her hole

Ok, almost anyone...

No, not literally anyone.

Trump will NOT win this election.

Stop with your propaganda attempts.

It's not propaganda, and yes, literally anyone. You understand he's tied with Donald Trump? Right?

Like, we all saw Trump in his first term, even a lot of Trump's own people are sick of him at this point. He's old, he's becoming incoherent himself. Even the corporate media backing Biden is saying how easy this campaign should be for a Democrat, and yet here we are.

This denial of Biden's weakness is not helping anyone.

I'm not denying that Biden has weaknesses.

I'm saying that Trump will still lose in spite of them.

Edit: downvoted by Trump lovers.

Watching right now, about half way through. Biden's performance is beyond underwhelming. Guess I'm preparing to weather a 2nd Trump term if something doesn't change. Heartbreaking doesn't begin to cover it.

I would be more hopeful that the Dems would pull Biden for another candidate if it wasn't obvious from the start that he was past it...
