Even if he goes full and permanent vegetable, he's still not Trump. Top priority is stopping Orange Hitler from taking control again, so please for the love of human rights, vote for whoever has the the best shot at beating him - if that's Biden, cool. If it's Harris, cool. If it's a literal ham sandwich, fucking fine - all three are orders of magnitude more qualified to do the job then Trump.
The funny thing is that Biden's had gaffes like this his whole career and could have laughed it off under other circumstances, but with the eyes of the entire world on him watching for him to have another senior moment this is another nail in the coffin.
I remember when Biden was picked as Obama's VP, and everyone laughed because he's known to make gaffes like this.
Obviously, there's a lot of scrutiny on him, but let's not pretend it's all because he's too old. It's just Biden being Biden, and while he's probably too old for the job, that's what happens when you don't impose upper age limits...
Guys, I'm not american, but at least today answering the press questions (no teleprompter) Biden was dishing out wisdom about economics and geopolitics and very thoughtful...he is just not very good with the whole "slick reality show clown president to distract the cattle while you rob them" part :/
He was just asked about his confidence in Kamala to be able to beat Trump, should he be succeeded(sp?)... and he referred to Trump as his VP and then meandered into some vague talking points.
A saddening phenomenon that's likely to happen if this continues ... is people opening up about how they saw the decline way before the debate but presumed it was a "one off" or "bad night". I think it's already started somewhat.
But the picture that could emerge with pretty high clarity is that "the issue" was covered by an inner group and ignored by those peripherally exposed to it ... all instead of the party preparing for it, preparing new potential candidates, and taking seriously the notion from Biden in 2020 that he wouldn't run in 2024.
Losing to Trump a second time by sticking to a party elder is going to be a big deal (if it happens of course). It will probably look more like the Dems losing than trump winning, and it prob will look like the Dems allowing it all to happen out of hubris and stupidity, not unlike the RBG fuck up. Could seriously shake the party up?
Biden: Refuses to step down after a dismal electoral debate performance that makes people think he should be in a care home and not in the White House.
Also Biden: Wrongly introduces Zelenskyy with the same name as the Jasper Carrott looking dictator who invaded his country two years ago.
Heck, 15 years ago, way back in 2009, Obama said, "During the second hundred days, I will learn to go off the teleprompter and Joe Biden will learn to stay on the teleprompter."
The dude hasn't been able to keep his words straight for a while...
But the timing is... very poor to say the least...
Look bruh, I confuse my kids’ names n shit. I’m like mid 40s. Pretty sure it’s not a fucking thing that he accidentally said putin.
HOWEVER, even though I personally don’t give a fuck about this gaffe, I recognize that fucktard undecideds will select the next prez, and they’re turned off to Biden for legit reasons, while at the same time blind to trump’s stupidity, treason, narcissism, and pernicious malignancy. Fucking idiot cunts.
And so, I think Brandon must fuck off. We’re fucked unless he’s gone.
Damn, I sort of feel like saying "Thank fuck he isn't president of MY country", but then I remember how even my local covidiots felt validated by the giant cheese puff, and how Trump is offering carte blanche to companies, for them to pillage and destroy the living conditions of the whole world.
All I can do is shake my head, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
People out there are really trying to insist that swing voters are gonna think "He reminds me of grandpa when we told him he needs to stop driving. He's got my vote."
Yes, I know you'd still pick a braindead Biden over any version of Trump. I would too. It's not about ability as a president, it's about ability to get elected president. I'm sick of hearing that like it addresses a single person's concerns about him remaining in the race.
