@worldadventuretravel the dems will never stop cowing to their DNC gods. Not gonna happen. People can hate on Trump, but the fact is the right blew up their system and told political party leaders that voters are in charge, not them.

Love that I’m not sure if you mean this positively or negatively. Trump did stupid shit but boy that cost of living was so uhbetter

@@Please654 I’ll clarify my position - Trump as president was a disaster. He quickly made the US the shame of the international community. Over 400,000 people died under his watch during the COVID-19 pandemic due to fumbled handling in the early days. He racked up nearly $8T in debt. His tax scam for the rich cost the public millions. His border wall plan was a fringe, lunatic waste of money. He was essentially a mouthpiece for Putin at various international summits. The United States cannot afford another Trump presidency.

I love Bernie but come on... he's even older than Biden.

@@wjfox2006 people like to say this but he's still shooting hoops, holding unedited interviews, and doing rallies. Hes the only one that could actually win. He brings the disparaged, the youth, voters on the fence, swing states, the rust belt and even some far right maga (the ones that wanted trump to be populist where he clearly isn't). That's huge and an ocean wider than what Kamala and Biden could claim to. It's only 4yrs, he would pick a VP that would do us well and do the honourable thing if his capacity did diminish. The guy is gold

Stop trying to make fetch happen

@@wjfox2006 he still shoots hoops on weekends, rallies across the country fighting the food fight, and maintains high cognitive ability during live and long-form interviews. How is that too old? Old age but not old as in diminishing. The reason this is best case scenario is for one, he's got the overwhelming support (if say much more than trump) especially among his peers. He would obviously only have 1 term, during that term he would def put a woman as VP. That VP would have a drastically higher presence than any other VP in history. Why you ask? Because he would want to propel them into an actually successful bid in 2028. Right now with the state of things, if Kamala were to be put up, she would be demolished l. She's not been given credence the entire time Biden's been in and her record/resume beyond that is pitiful - 1 term in Congress and a contentious time as an attorney. It's just not material enough against the likes and risks with trump. Also, much of the praised output of the Biden admin was watered down Bernie policy anyway. It's popular (albeit lightweight from establishment Dems) and they know it. But diluted simply won't cut it, people can clearly see that. We might as well have the OG himself. And to anyone that thinks 'hes too extreme' don't worry, the oligarchs won't let him have too much regardless; Bernie fights for going the mile while knowing damn well if we only get 3% of the way that that's good, it's progress in the right direction. So, a for-sure bet now while the skillet is on fire, propping up VP for a real future's chance, and doing good populist policy for at a minimum of 4 years...this will all make the Dems look good, they'll actually output what they claim stake to for a change.

He’s a communist

Trump wasn't just not the choice of the RNC or the media, but literally their last choice, they went out of their way to try and destroy him, failing utterly. It's the DNC who has maintained total control.

It just baffles me how people easily fall for his lies like the 2nd girl interviewed.

Trumps position on abortion is actually extremely moderate. Conservatives want a national ban but they put up with leaving it to the states.

@@RB-.- Anything short of a nationwide bad is " moderate" now? They haven't had a chance to do it. They get one they will. Because they don't care how many women or how many babies it kills, yes abortion bans kill both and increase, not decrease the number of abortions. Because they aren't about anything but controlling women. We get a Republican Congress they will pass a ban. If Trump is president he will sign it. They already polluted the court with insane ideologues who have trashed the rule of law. Just so they could take women's rights. Not " moderate" by a long shot.

​@@RB-.- yeah but the fact he and a handful of his inner circle are the only thing holding back the religeous extremists in the party is worrying, especially since trump has a tendancy to flip flop when its convenient.

You’re unreasonable

We must repeal the 19th Amendment. Women are not capable of rational thought.

I feel you but the key is to meet people where they are and figure out how to communicate to them. Biden couldn’t refute or retort those claims that night. It was his job to disprove in the moment what Trump said. This is why it’s important to ask if he’s the guy to prosecute the case against Trump.

@@alimomen it's hopeless it seems, how you can you penetrate that kind of mind

@@powermaxx11 Very easily, apparently! I've never heard someone so easily and dramatically swayed by a couple of statements from a politician. (Just imagine if the Dems had put up someone competent against Trump...)

It doesn’t seem that you understand either American politics or politics more broadly.

Philosophically, I agree with you. But practically, that would require a lot of research on the part of voters. I'm personally willing (and even eager) to do that kind of research to keep myself informed, but I also have more free time than a lot of American adults. Ideally we'd all be tuned into these major bills and policies that affect our lives and our future, but people are busy and tired and they don't care to dive into the complex machinations of congressional bills and government initiatives. Thus, they go with whichever guy has the "vibe" they're looking for in a leader. It's a bummer.

From my seat, it is pretty clear that most Americans do not have any intellectual curiosity about things they don’t understand or that they disagree with. The importance of history or unimportance of history is embarrassing. How little so many people know about past events and how they affect today…. history is filled with examples of autocrats using existing Democratic freedoms to gain power only to form a dictatorship where independence of the media, the right to change the existing government by free and fair elections and freedom of individual opinion and protest are violently repressed. Instead they want simple solutions to complicated problems like closing the border like deporting, illegal aliens like tariffs on imports, like removing checks and balances in our government, with the false assumption by punishing others or removing opposition that their lives will get better…….without giving one iota of thought that this policy, is designed to create a one party state and is militarizing the police for future action against other civilians in the United States that are not here illegally, and that simply disagree with the policy of our government. For those who think I am weaving a fairytale or I’m making a big deal out of nothing. Please look at any Trump rally or MAGA event where people who have different opinions have been identified by Trump or the crowd.

If you believe that Biden is just a puppet and you want unknown others behind the scenes running things, vote for him.

What _could_ Americans do?

we've been trying to do a lot actually. Many voted 3rd party in 2016 which gave trump the election, and this changed somethings like superdelagates. secondly, many are canvasing for ranked choice voting, so 3rd party candidates can be voted for without it handing the election over to some freak.

Agreed. Just listening to some of the interviewees, tells you they haven't put as much thought into it as they think they have.

Don't be mean.

I never understand statements like this. We get ourselves as humans or Americans into every situation we're in - climate, the election, wars, going to the moon, antibiotics, schools.. but since we are just going to keep on being human and making mistakes why abandon us?

So.... Biden's lies have killed more Americans!

If nothing else, you’re self aware.

Every elected Democrat is to the right of socialism

Bc the majority of actual people don't want him either. Both him and Biden have historically high unapproval ratings at 60% and historic low approval ratings at 30%.

The president isn’t a “figurehead.” Most Americans aren’t buying your argument that the Democratic Party is “competent” when they have a mentally incompetent man as the head of it. You may not like Trump, but you’re not going to convince anyone of your position if all you can do is defend that abysmal performance.

Sadly, it’s all too believable these days.

Cry harder little tiny baby @stromsrb

You nailed it

The problem is neither option is pain-free (to Democrats), and neither seems likely to lead to the desired outcome. It's why I viewed Sanders, Warren and Biden as all too old in 2020. Democrats should have taken the issue seriously in 2020 or 2022 or 2024 (primary season), but now many are panicking at the consequences of their gamble.

That’s what is killing me and anyone who’s forced to try to pretend he’s ok is going to get dragged down too. This can’t keep going.

@@kristinadutton3259 The post-debate polling is horrific for Biden. He needs to do the honourable thing and step down.

@@mrm7058 ok. So vote for the side that had the most democratic process. They should at least be rewarded for that much.

Why because they aren’t towing the Democratic Party agenda blindly? That’s what you prefer? This is the same sentiment Maga loyalist said of Fox when they briefly criticized Trump.

"Blue" does not mean "Democrat." It identifies (as the reporter says) the delegate as "left-leaning." But where do you get that she wasn't a Democrat? Because she's questioning her original choice, not towing the party line? I was there, sitting not far from this delegate. Her name is Cory. I have a ton of respect for the way she thinks independently and acts on her convictions. You can view and hear her in a recording of the Friday morning session: 2:34:00 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNSqd5eG3ae-j2Q.html. But there were plenty of democrats of all varieties. Our parties reflect our country in being anything but one size fits all.

@@courtbudd She's definitely not left-leaning which is what got me stirred up in the first place. But you're right about getting the two wrong.

No, I don't think so as it's a cult mentality. I'm pretty confident that little Corey was also lying through her teeth about being a dem.

Oh it’s way beyond “mildly more articulate.”

Trump could just as easily have had a bad night like he often does with interviews and at his rallies. Biden has a history of stutters and gaffs, presidents have a history of bad first debates for several reasons that clearly played out here in an “old man” version. But they are BOTH old and incoherent at times. One of them has been a great president and one wants to be dictator.
