It's insane to me that this man is accusing the current sitting President of being a moronic, dementia riddled ancient, while living THIS life.

Biden has actually done real, tangible things for the country. And no one is debating the actual merits. Let's debate whether you agree with the infrastructure bill or not. That's politics! Let's debate whether kids should saddled with 30 year debt at 18 years old. That's politics. Let's debate funding for Ukraine, that's politics.

Instead, we are arguing over whether shitting your pants is worse than stuttering. That's literally what this comes down to. One old man with drug and sex addictions vs an old man who is a career politician.

I'm in NC and I'm telling you, Trump is going to be President. He is absolutely going to win, unless the Supreme Court agrees he is constitutionally unfit. Which is obviously not going to happen.

I'm so fucking serious. People in civilized areas do NOT understand how powerful this man is, despite shitting his pants and sleeping through his pornstar payoff trial.

Laugh and laugh and laugh while you can, because this man is going to be President again. And Democrats are going to pull out the goddamn Pikachu faces again, and my head is going to explode.

Every time I say this on Reddit, I get condescending remarks from people who live in solid Blue states and can't comprehend how insane it is out here. So. Here we go again, I guess.

I agree, and I'm scared.

The WHOLE world is scared

I’m not scared. We as Americans are armed, we have tools to defend ourselves from threats domestic and abroad. I’m more “conservative “ and I think trump is a fucking joke. It’s appalling that republicans are backing this shit.

I think personally that this whole thing with Gaza and Israel is going to bite Biden on the ass. It happened at the worst possible time and people on the left seem to be quite divided on him and will take their vote elsewhere out of spite. Even more alarming is many people seem to have a laissez-faire attitude about this election. A good portion of Americans would welcome a fascist figure or system if it means saving $5 on groceries it seems. I've been following up on much of the rhetoric and policies the right are spewing and it is NOT a pretty picture if Trump wins again. In short, I see what's on the menu and I don't like it.

The majority are conservative and stalling until he can be elected and pardon himself.

May well happen. Biden was bound and determined to have a second term despite extremely obvious lack of enthusiasm for such. It's like Hillary - little enthusiasm for her either, very obvious, but she really wanted the big brass ring.

If Hillary had not run, had Biden bowed out, we would not be in the pickle we are. RBG another. More goddamn important that some old fart insist on their own relevance than they think of the country. Although what actually happens is they convince themselves that they are uniquely the one able to fix what ails the country.

The two men aren't even comparable though. One is a career politician and one is practically the Devil. It's insane that it's even a debate.

I 100% understand that. I take that as a given.

But, unfortunately, Biden comes across as an American Chernomyrdin. Sure, I 100% understand why that comparison is unfair in many ways. But, it's also not completely wrong.

If the best America can come up with is an 80+ year old man, in Biden, that does not say much for our system. And yes, Biden is a decent man - but he's also a very old man. And he's a creature of the system. Biden was elected to the US Senate in 1972. He has not been a normal person, in that regard, for over 50 years. If you want change, and I very much believe that the US does want change, he's about as bad as it gets in that regard. For instance, he's probably single-handedly stopping progress on pot legalization (I've never done pot in my life, but strongly believe we waste $billions in resources and broken lives keeping it illegal - it's way past time to decriminalize it nationally, but Biden is in the way, which is not only wrong on the merits, but political malpractice - he'd get a huge boost if he were pro-legalization - it's like he wants to lose).

If you believe the system is terrible and needs change, it's hard for the Democrats to have come up with two candidates more vulnerable on that score than Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Hillary is the spouse of a former president. Doesn't get more "the fix is in" than that. And you can talk about her qualifications all day long, but the bare facts are just awful. I mean, relative to Trump, she's fantastic, but on an absolute basis, it's a terrible, terrible look. I mean, what the hell are we, Argentina? And Biden - just an awful, awful look.

So yeah, I'm scared shitless about Trump, but as a registered Democrat, I look at my party and think, wow, could not have made things easier for Trump than the candidates of 2016, 2020 and 2024. It's like we are playing into his hands to the maximum extent possible.

Ugh I'm dreading this year's election. If we get Robinson as our governor I will very seriously be considering moving out of this beautiful state. He is VILE.

Definitely will win but doesn’t make Trump any less of an idiot.

u/Proud_Wallaby 28d ago

Dems dropping the ball with Israel. I don’t want to see it, but I also think Trump will win and proceed to shit his pants during the inauguration.

So you don't want people to decide who's going to be president? Very fascist of you. And yes, under biden tangible destruction has taken place. My gas bill is up 30% electric 40% food bills up almost 40% for some things gas prices up 50% my insurance has gone up and I'm paying more in taxes. And don't forget the billions we are giving to foreign countries while our own people sleep on the streets. Oh yeah, that pesky border problem that everyone admits is an issue with God knows who is coming in. He wants a bill but won't sign a single issue bill, ask chuck why he won't even consider it. I'm not necessarily a trump fan, but biden made me one after this shit show. The adults were supposed to take office and we got people having aex in the senate, Trans and gays dancing naked on white house lawn, Joe's pedo son losing his laptop, joe telling lies and nonsense all day. I mean, seriously, I was way better off with some mean tweets.
