There was upside going in too. Biden was on a Romney-esque march to a certain loss without something shaking things up and this was one of the things that could do it. Unfortunately he bombed it so heâs more on the Bob Dole path now but hey, you miss 100% of the shots you donât take.
He should have just canceled the debate and said he was waiting for Trumps sentencing and to see if Trump was going to continue his campaign from prison. Refuse to debate a felon criminal.
Yeah I definitely was not sure that Biden would be good, but he needed to do something given what the polls look like. And who knows, if he really is totally unelectable and we end up with a different candidate who wins, it will still turn out to be a good thing!
Yeah i dont think so
Americans want Trump. Thatâs the elephant in the room.
Disagree, Biden is obviously fading fast and the longer he waits the worse it will be. Should have scheduled these for January 2021 imo.
Iâd caveat this by saying âenough Americansâ want him and our fucked up electoral system gives them an absurd amount of control over the Federal government.
Fair enough. Itâs still beyond sad and disturbing.
Trump remains immensely unpopular, itâs just Biden is best the opposition party can come up with on short notice (theyâve had four years to figure out what to do here).
8 years, really
Keep telling yourself that, I guess. But Trump is way more popular that he should be. The US is broken.
Presumably the purpose of your debate performance is not to show that you are still fit for independent living but to articulate a vision for the country and a plan to implement it. I wasnât actually able to make through more than a few minutes of the debate but it is still pretty obvious that incoherent mumbling and gaffes actually did succeed in obscuring his total lack of interest or preoccupation in regards to the office he seeks. So thatâs something I guess.
How about now? Polls still on ignore?
Heâs for sure more popular than he should be, yet still managed to lose the popular vote back-to-back vs the worst candidates the Dems have ever fielded.
I agree.
Lol, I didnât see this. Trump is easily the best known, most famous person to ever run for president. He may legitimately be the most famous person who has ever lived! There is no secret to leak out here, Jesus Christ. Biden is the one who normies hadnât seen yet!
Biden is still more lucid than the average 82 year old. Its just that someone in that state has no business running for office or actually being president. Imagine how brutal he is going to be after 4 more years in some fantasy land where he doesnât actually lose?
Also this is not some new thing for Biden. He was well into his decline in 2019/2020. Thatâs why he was losing the primary badly before the DNC interfered. I mean hell my avatar is from 2019 and is literally a shot at Bidenâs fitness for office. This isnât new itâs just gotten so bad now as to he completely impossible for the sycophants to deny it any longer.
