POLITICAL THREAD

[bigblueinsanity]

Because there has been a marked change in Biden from 4 years ago.

"Debate watchers were pretty decisive in their verdict of last night’s performances: Only about one-third said Trump’s performance was “somewhat good” or “very good,” and 50 percent said it was “very poor.” Biden’s performance was more positively received, with around 60 percent saying they thought he performed well."

Who Won The Debate?

How voters felt about 2020 presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump before and after the debate on September 29, 2020

projects.fivethirtyeight.com

"According to a CBS News poll taken following the 2020 debate, 48% of people thought Biden won, 41% of people thought Trump won, while 10% considered it a tie, with a margin of error of three points."

Dont think for a second that excuse holds any water. The only marked change in that he went from awful to even worse.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Haven't most states (most notably, Ohio) already assured the DNC that a late change to the DNC ticket will have ballot access? That shouldn't be an issue.

Probably. I’m just curious to see how they pull it off. “Exceptions”? Or legitimately modify the law accordingly?

 

[hmt5000]

So the internal polls were as bad as reported.... They were saying Trump was looking at 307 to 320 electoral win. Biden wouldn't have quit unless he knew it was hopeless.

I hope it's Kamala because I think she hurts down ballot worse than Joe though. She might do better initially but as the next few months go on and the economy continues to tank and the wars rage on.... Lot's of people will want a change.

Says the idiot who forgot Ross Perot in 92.

'Clinton got over 50% of the vote in every state he won'.

Clown.

I didn't forget about third parties. I phrased my criticism of the first-past-the-post system overly poetically. In actuality you don't even need 50.000001% of the vote to screw our country. As you so pointedly reminded us. Repeating this lie will get you nothing except revealed.

 

[JumperJack]

The Democratic party did not throw up a meaningful challenger to their own incumbent, Joe Biden, in the primary. That is how it works. Fringe nobodies are not real. I wish it didn't work that way. But that is, indeed, how it works. Biden is no longer running. Just like if he'd been shot. Time for a new candidate.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

All the tough talk from Joe about Trump and then he quits with just a letter.

LIBS, we are laughing in the faces of ALL of you.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Delegates aside, the money stowed in PAC / SUPERPAC money will be tough to untangle and transfer to anyone other than Kamala.

So…..Cleanup on Aisle Biden is over.
Next, Cleanup on Aisle Harris…..just so they can pick who they want.

You will be voting for the Anti-Christ according to some social media cites.

Revelation 13:3
ESV
3 "One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast".

Events are out of order, DA. But I wouldn't expect a 2nd grader to know much better...

 

[Lost In FL]

new campaign slogan ... you may not like Trump, but Kamala sucks...

 

[hmt5000]

Um, he's not black.
Thus his many nicknames. Talcolm X, etc.

Shamrock Obama, Pale Sharpton, Martin Luther Creme, Thurgood Marshmallow, Snow Jay Simpson....



You'll laff at this. LOL

You think your vote doesn't count but you vote anyway. Idiot. 😂😂😂

I never said anything about votes not counting. You need some more comprehension lessons. Maybe your special students can help you out.

 

[Lost In FL]

Let me get this straight. You want republicans to help democrats violate state voting laws?

Yes, he is a corrupt, pathological, liar who has zero principle to his name.

 

[hmt5000]

Probably. I’m just curious to see how they pull it off. “Exceptions”? Or legitimately modify the law accordingly?

Lets not forget that the lady that sued Trump... her charge was past statute of limitations. They changed the law and then went after him. Funny thing was a democrat state senator got nicked on the same thing and now NY is debating moving the date back to where it was. LOL. Double standards are the only standards democrats have.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

That's never been my argument. That's your Dear Leader who says your vote doesn't count and the elections are rigged.

If you think Biden ever received 81 million legitimate votes, well then the DNCCP depend on people like you. Congrats, you're needed.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Agree with your points about dementia. But the signs were there from the get go. His handlers have been attempting to shield him for 4 years. Search this thread for the past 4 years and you will see clips of Joe doing the same stuff throughout. Didn’t matter, but now it does. Why?

What libs always fail to mention is this. Before dementia, Biden was stupid, corrupt, prone to gaffes, lies and plagiarism , and overall very unpopular. He never pulled more than a minuscule % of the vote in two other Presidential runs. Yet miraculously got the most votes in election history in the most secure election of all time.

[Dionysus444]

Let’s put it this way. I expect the Dem nominee with be on the ballots. I’m not so sure it will happen in a legitimate, legal fashion.

And let’s be clear. It may not be just republicans who demand laws be followed. I imagine RFK will have similar feelings.

Exactly. Everyone will be watching, they'll jump through whatever procedural hoops required, and it'll end up being a giant nothingburger. Just like it is now, except for social media personalities who love getting your clicks.

Perhaps. But if a couple of those state legislatures decide they aren’t going to play ball, then what?

 

[HymanKaplan]

I'll keep this brief, but once again, I've noticed that "Clown", used as a pejorative, is creeping back into the vernacular here.

This needs to end.

Merely quoting you. You can poetically explain blah blah blah.

You were dead ass wrong, and you doubled down on it.

The sure fire sign of a rash foolish young Marxist.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Also, Obama is now on record. He wants an open convention. IOW - Kamala is more than likely screwed.

Oh. And are you threatening to 'dox' me?

No supposed to ask any questions. It’s not like they were hiding cancer or some other condition that may not be as visible. It was on full display and their party tells you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

As usual everything is an affront to the Constitution to Dion if The Republicans are in the spotlight. If the Dems pull something it’s just “procedural”.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Obama's awfully quiet. Do they trot Big Mike out in her home town of Chicago? She'll say she's here to stop Trump and they'll run to the polls.

Manchin considering re-registering as a Dem to run for President.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Joe only got 81 million votes because they were votes against Trump. Some of them were traditionally solid Republican. Those were repudiations of MAGA, not endorsements of leftism. The coalition was always an extremely fragile one. And it fell apart with Joe's mental state. Now we see about forging a new one.

Yeah, I didn't really mean super Republican, just like I'm not a super Democrat. Still basically makes us partisans, as we're both more right or left than our respective parties. You don't vote for Ds and I don't vote for Rs even though we hate the ones we're voting for too.

He had dementia in 2020 and ran against Trump.
He has dementia now and was running against Trump. Yet he was looking at a massive loss according to the talking heads. So 81 million voters are not going to vote against Trump again? Weird. Maybe "orange man bad" has lost its je nai se qua?

The only way they can leapfrog a black (Indian?) woman is with another black woman. Not entirely out of the realm of possibility. I won’t be surprised.

 

[hmt5000]

What about Kamala naming Hillary as VP? LOL. While Kamala might not realize how big a threat to her life that is.... It might get her the presidency.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Oh. And are you threatening to 'dox' me?

Like a good little commie?

Lol

Nobody on the left in here has the skills to properly 'dox' someone.

I, however...

I’m not sure why Manchin thinks he’s a viable candidate. He has the same skeletons every other longtime DC swamper has.

Iirc some very compelling legal research showed Kamala must be on the ticket or they cant spend that warchest.

Now i assume she can "loan" the money to another candidate to get around that, but that would require alot of generosity.

 

[hmt5000]

Fot the people that say "you shouldn't get your news on twitter".... The sitting president just dropped out of the race and the absolute fastest and best source of news on the subject is Twitter/X.
