Can't wait to hear voter suppression because they threw out their mail in ballot.We can vote by mail and the mayor is working to make that the preferred method.
"Why can't I vote by Twitter?"Can't wait to hear voter suppression because they threw out their mail in ballot.
Are you asking if he's literally not aware of what's happening in the world right now?Is Biden even aware of what's happening? I feel like he should be all over the news.
...I mean he's not exactly all there. That's the only explanation I can think of since this is the exact time he should be getting out there and proving he can be a leader.Are you asking if he's literally not aware of what's happening in the world right now?
So I keep seeing these clips of these Biden interviews not really painting him in the best light, how have they been overall though?
How would Trump "annihilate" him?Biden has been looking really bad I dunno. Honestly even just the uncertainty at the moment is good enough reason for Sanders to linger around so that Biden can receive extra scrutiny. Democrats don't benefit form Joe going into hiding to avoid scrutiny and then getting annihilated by Trump in the general.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm? He has been on multiple shows.. today.Is Biden even aware of what's happening? I feel like he should be all over the news.
Looking back at his debate against Paul Ryan in 2012 he's like a different person.At the moment Trump of all people seems more lucid than the candidate the dems are gonna pick, which is like.... insane? How did we get to this point?
Maybe you should stop watching cherrypicked clips of Biden? Biden fared favorably in a debate against Sanders, he'll probably not crumble against someone several orders of magnitude dumber during the General Election. You could probably make me come across as senile if you clipped all my gaffes. Every time Donald opens his mouth, I become dumber. He never has any clue what he's talking about and unless he read off a teleprompter he couldn't give a coherent response to a question if his life depended on it.At the moment Trump of all people seems more lucid than the candidate the dems are gonna pick, which is like.... insane?

Do down-ticket races no longer matter or something?Why put people in danger and going out to vote in the most infected city in the country?

The way in which the internet has fragmented media consumption isn't a good thing when it comes to current events.I can't tell if this is sarcasm? He has been on multiple shows.. today.
This concern trolling and right wing conspiratorial hypothesizing about his mental faculties and health has been going on in this thread since South Carolina. It's incredibly transparent and not in good faith. He has been absolutely fine in his appearances and has no position or legislative ability that can tangibly affect anything at the moment. I am glad he's getting himself out there more and hope he'll be able to control the narrative and counter Trump's gaslighting however.I don't get some of the things being said in this topic about Biden. I just watched a few videos of Biden from the last few days and he doesn't look or sound confused in any way. He's more somber than the current president is, but that isn't exactly a bad thing nor is it very hard. And I'm not sure what people expect him to do. He's not the president, he has no power in our government at the moment, and he's already said a few things about the virus. And yet he still has to fight this primary cause Sanders refuses to drop out. He can't really start hitting the president on anything yet either because it would probably be a bad look to start pointing out the president's faults while the president is "trying" to deal with a crisis. And I don't think the news stations will give him as much air time at the moment considering the lack of primaries (since they are all getting delayed) and lack of debates and his lack of power.
They do matter, but theres is a global pandemic and New York is one of the worst effected areas in the world. Also the primary is likely over at this point anyways. Those things matter too.Do down-ticket races no longer matter or something?
This thread is insufferable.
Don't worry dude, the media that's been giving him a pass this entire time definitely won't turn around in the general and let every single skeleton out of his closet. The campaign with zero ground game is going to take it all the way home.Now listen here Jack, my brain don't work and I routinely can't remember what words mean or complete my sentences, and I'm somehow going to win an election
Are we really still doing this? Even after he had a speech yesterday and has been on news channels these days?
If you think the media was given him a pass after Iowa and Nevada then you don't know what a pass is.Don't worry dude, the media that's been giving him a pass this entire time definitely won't turn around in the general and let every single skeleton out of his closet.

I half expect Trump to fuck around with Election Day's place on the calendar for the sake of "safety," depending on how this situation drags on.They do matter, but theres is a global pandemic and New York is one of the worst effected areas in the world.

Well yeah. Trump is doing it lol. Safe to assume it isnt for any legit reason and only to corrode Democracy even further.I half expect Trump to fuck around with Election Day's place on the calendar for the sake of "safety," depending on how this situation drags on.
And I'd expect the usual suspects in here to sing a pretty different tune about that.
Wouldn't surprise me if he makes a 3rd party run by the end of it. His hubris is something else.
Era in general can get really negative, so it's hard to follow threads like this at times. With elections there's a lot of biased/agenda filled info and misinformation online and in the media that add to it.This is sadly where I am at with this thread as a whole. I hope Biden beats Trump but I learned from 2016 that following it all too closely isn't good for my health, too much stress. I guess I'll have to be surprised in November at the results cause I just can't do the same news and poll following I did then. Especially with a crisis giving Trump a bump in approval ratings (even though I know it's a superficial bump and even Bush went to like 90% post 9/11).
I still don't understand Trumps rise in polls.
If the sentiment is that we're in a crisis and people go, "Oh god! Wonder what the president is doing about this", then tune into every Coronavirus task force meeting where he is the stupidest person on stage, let alone the room, and everyone else has to humor him.
Rally around the flag effect in response to a crisis. You are seeing it worldwide, and also in US governor aapproval changes. It's normal. Macron is back above 50% ... . in FRANCE. It's temporary and not maintainable.I still don't understand Trumps rise in polls.

This thread calls Bernie selfish for being in the race and blaming him for putting people's lives in danger yet it was the Biden team that wanted people to go out and vote more so than the Bernie team. More progressives wanted to delay voting.Do down-ticket races no longer matter or something?
This thread is insufferable.
Fear and rose tinted glasses.At the moment Trump of all people seems more lucid than the candidate the dems are gonna pick, which is like.... insane? How did we get to this point?
