Because nothing about Trump has changed.
Yea. I’m not from the US (so an outsider’s and probably naive perspective) …
but the whole Biden thing seems off. Trump is a known quantity. The point of his running, at a basic level and besides vengeance, is to try the MAGA thing again without COVID “interfering”. Also, if you think back to the 2020 Dem primaries, where no one was really happy with any candidate and many were asking of the Dems “is that the best you’ve got” … a Trump sequel is kinda republicans forcing that question again.
As for all of the attention … well there’s a lot on the line here: Trump’s a known quantity … so, Dems, how you going to defeat him this time? Because … if you lose to Trump, twice, both times by standing by a party elder … that’s maybe “shame on you”. Moreover, we all knew Biden was old. A single term was sorta, kinda part of the deal because of that (remember, he wasn’t doing well in the primaries, he never has really). So, has a bargain been broken here? A gamble lost? A mistake, perhaps all the way back in 2020 but certainly behind the decision to run again, come to fruition?
Beyond all of that … I thought excessive media attention on Trump and the free publicity he gets was a bad thing (he’s probably jealous about Biden’s media attention lol)?
I agree, and all this happened when Epstein files were unsealed. Why there’s no talk about that?
I think Biden promising to increase taxes for the rich doesn’t bode well with the rich, because Biden might actually do it.
Ding ding ding! Biden is a threat to the wealthy so the smear campaign is rich capitalists trying to replace Biden with someone they like more, or get tRump back in so they can get tax breaks. They care not for the dangers of fascism cause they’ll still make profit, but with fewer regulations and faster.
Also, probably many of those implicated in the Epstein files are extremely wealthy and don’t want that info taking center stage at anytime. The wealthy like to see those bank account zeroes increase! Soon as you threaten that, they try to jail, replace, or “remove” them using their near infinite means. The same ones named in those files likely also own local news groups and can influence local and/or regional news.
Bruh the man has over 7 million in real estate, and taken in over $4 million in cash just from Israel Source literally outranking a senator who is on trial currently for accepting literal gold bars and benzs, but you think he is not in their club, old Middle Class Joe is your contemporary and gonna lay down the law, and the shadowy “they” are trying to replace him after he’s been literally entrenched in politics for the last 51 years. If politics is so dangerous how has he survived so long, if not for being on the inside?
Literally the senator of Delaware known as the corporate tax haven state.
Joe has basically never been middle class. It’s not like senators salaries have gone up a lot but we forget how much inflation has.
That’s still upper middle class lol.
Open secrets link is money sent to PACs. Try harder please
How rich must you be to think 7 million in real estate and a salary of 5 million as president is just fucking middle class?
The lack of relatability to any of the standard working class anymore is exactly why the Democrats will lose and they will deserve it unlike the people who suffer.
And it has nothing to do with one of the worst debate performances in history? Really?
People were already hesitant about Biden before this debate. His performance was a wake up call. And nothing that has been done since has made him look any better.
I’m a straight blue ticket voter. That debate solidified my support. Both are old as shit, but we are stuck with them because our voting system sucks. I’ll choose the non-rapist, non-felon.
I always focus on how I will view my choices 10+ years down the road. I always regretted voting for bush and McCain. Haven’t regretted voting blue since I pulled my head out of my ass.
It’s not the “straight blue ticket” voters we need to be worried about. I’d vote for a Biden with late stage dementia over any variation of Trump.
The worry is that people that don’t always vote, but showed up on 2020 are no longer going to show up because the Trump threat is a distant memory and Biden is such a weak candidate.
And while we all knew Biden was a weak candidate, the historically bad debate performance and everything that has come up since has only shown how truly weak Biden is.
To act like this is all a conspiracy pushed by the wealthy to avoid being taxed and not actual citizens that want a better chance at beating Trump is just silly.
he wasn’t doing well in the primaries, he never has really
Biden did quit well in the primaries. Also, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and the orange felon did bad on their first debates. In fact Obama did horrible. They all went on to win. Biden has the keys to win this. Switching candidates now will throw the election away. Biden has surrounded himself with good people, he has wisdom and experience. He averted a recession and the economy is rebounding impressively. Why throw that all away?
Allan Lichtman, a historian who has successfully predicted the outcome of the last 10 presidential elections, dismissed the calls to boot Biden from the ballot, telling CNN’s Abby Phillip it would be a “huge mistake” to replace Biden on the ballot. , “Republicans have no principles. Democrats have no spine". The story behind Professor Allan Lichtman’s methodology based on earth quake prediction absolutely is fascinating.Biden did quit well in the primaries.
With a little help from strategically timed withdrawals and Jim Clyburn, sure.
Seriously people don’t want to talk about the split votes that collapsed in suddenly all at the same time for near unanimous backing. Or how most of the opponents got cabinet positions except for Elizabeth Warren who kept saying she was gonna be a VP pick for her dedication to the party and got thrown in the trash like other progressive politicians.
He barely won by a special circumstances but he is the best bet for not changing things for the rich and so they won’t possibly let him go without a desperate fight or letting fascists win first.
More importantly, there’s nothing you can do to convince someone who’s dumb enough to vote for Trump, not to. This is why chasing “swing” voters is a really terrible strategy and always has been. There’s literally nothing Trump could say or do to alienate the voters he has now, no one is undecided on Trump.
What determines the outcome for Democrats is the same it’s ever been; turn out. It’s why Biden won in 2020, it’s why the GOP is constantly trying to sabotage and suppress voter registration. And it’s why it’s critical that Biden steps down, he simply cannot drive the needed turn out now and is unwilling to form a coalition with non-conservative democrats/independents.
It actually did. It wasn’t just lies, but he is also losing plot about what he is talking about.
But yeah, I guess that’s not much difference in the greater scheme of things.
And “tongue tied” Is a straight up, fucking lie. It was surprising just how bad Biden was in that debate. You are right that trump seems to be consistently shity and incomprehensible.
[Donald Trump] May Not Be Good for America, but [He’s] Damn Good for CBS”
-CBS CEO Les Moonves, 2/29/16
And nothing has changed since.
Vote for the administration, not the man.
This is not that difficult. Both of these geezers have been president before. We know what teams they put together, what their agendas are, and the consequences of their administration.
There is only one big fucking faux pas on the Biden administration, and that is their continuing support for Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. That is no good, but what is Trump’s stance on Gaza? His administration wants to accelerate and intensify support of the genocide.
Both candidates suck as individuals, but only one of the administrations has been competent and generally good for all citizens.
Trump’s administration is asking why Israel isn’t using nukes
You know, in case anyone had any doubts at all
You know, because nuclear bombs can be contained and certainly don’t carry any irradiated winds that would affect civilian populations only a fence away.
And the minor factor of Iran?
This makes perfect sense,tankies are just zionists riling up the trump base so they can nuke Gaza.
Makes 1000x more sense than what the tankies say they want.
Stop making up paranoid delusional conspiracy to ease your mind of the unfortunate truth that people just don’t like him.
People are emotional idiots. Apparently including all of us.
You are right, the Democratic administration is fucking terrible. But its still better than the republicans. Can’t wait to vote third party on the next election cycle when people tell me i can vote how i wish.
I agree with you all the way up to voting 3rd party.
It has never worked out how everyone thinks it will. Why would this time be different?
We have first past the post here. Meaning first across the finish line. And 2 candidates are neck and neck a few steps from it. You can vote for one of them to pull into the lead a bit OR you can vote for a person still standing at the starting line that has no hope to ever win.
It’s wild to me that people don’t see that. It’s about keeping Trump from winning and ACCELERATING THE GAZA GENOCIDE!!! There just simply isn’t the momentum to elect a 3rd party right now this cycle so close to the end. You have to start that momentum and push WAYYY sooner and be competitive and stay close to the lead or it is over for you.
Voting 3rd party now is like sticking your head in the sand and ignoring reality.
I completely understand that neither main candidate is perfect.
If Trump wins, but your vote could have helped Biden win, how will your conscience handle that? Knowing you could have at least stopped Trump, but didn’t? Is feeling good about your vote going to outweigh the reality if Trump wins?
It’s like refusing to put out a fire with dirty water so you let the whole building burn down. Let’s use the dirty water and stop the fire and THEN clean up the muddy mess from it.
I think we both agree that first past the post is a blight. And the only option to stop that would be either voting third party, or a violent Revolution that sees both parties on the end of a rope. The democrats have killed changing voting to ranked choice at local levels, even after being successfully voted for, because just like republicans they know that not allowing a choice is the only thing giving them power. The second that there is risk free voting for platforms you actually care about, they are fucking done.

Border control? Now you know how the native Indians felt. I have no idea why so many Central American countries are unstable, which forces people to migrate to somewhere they perceived as safer for their families.
Afghanistan was baby Bush’s mess. Do we blame Nixon for pulling out of Vietnam?
Closer to WW3? Really, I must have missed that memo because I don’t see that happening.
Cut funding to Ukraine. Hmmmm… give in to bully Putin you mean. And you bring up China: How would China act on the global stage if they saw the US tucked tail to run in Ukraine? Embolden for sure.
As for Gaza, annoying orange would have bent over backwards to appease AIPAC and glassed Gaza.
But let’s ask what the fake tanned arsewiped did for two whole years that he had full control of the house, senate and WH? Tax cut for himself? What else…?
And who can forget the one million dead from covid, because he made it political. No other country in the world suffered the impact the US had. Guess injecting bleach or looking directly at an eclipse without protective glasses on isn’t clever.

Because literally nobody is suprised by trump as this point. We all know what he is at this point. Biden popped the fascade that has been carefully crafted to keep us all thinking he was doing alright despite being old as fuck.
100%. People want to act like it was a “bad debate performance” but it was absolutely eye opening to the american people. Its not about who won or lost a debate.
And it’s not like it’s the first of those incidents. He fell off his bike, tripped getting on air force one, had a bunch of press conferences where he did the trailing off in the middle of his answer thing, etc.
And this isn’t the only person democrats did this with either. They enabled Dianne Feinstein to run for reelection despite her being at deaths door, there’s the RBG debacle, etc.
Democrats need to get better at refreshing the old guard. The only one that did it kind of right is Nancy Pelosi: groom a successor and step aside when the time is right.
I love the argument about the bike, have you seen trump on a bike? There’s a 99% chance that you don’t ride a bike yourself.
BTW: he tripped, because he had to stop to talk with reporters and the predators had straps. It even happened to me and I’m much much younger than him.
Maybe there’s millions of qualified people other than Trump and Biden in the US? Why do Americans have to settle for just these 2? Why does Biden get to say he’s the only one that could beat Trump, if that’s objectively not true?
I can’t think of anyone else who could beat him. I really believed that Clinton could do it, and technically she did, but she didn’t beat him bad enough. A lot of people thought he was just playing himself up to win and wouldn’t be so bad once he got in (myself included). He showed them he wasn’t playing anything up and a vote against him got the largest turnout in history.
I really thought (and prayed, and begged the universe) that Sanders would get a shot.
Damn, what a mess. What a stressful, stressful, mess.
With a gay kid and a trans kid, I really do worry about their future. All we can do is ride the rock and hope for the best though. Well, that and vote against the dude who openly despises certain groups.
Edit:
Why didn’t you 9 name a candidate and why you think they’d win. Come on now, it’s a social forum. Get social.
Edit 2:
Chomp chomp. That’s me eating my words and praying I’m wrong on 7/21
The salient point- Biden does things better DAILY than Trump did in 4 years and we’re still somehow focusing on stupid shit.
Democrats are so ego driven that they think death itself cannot claim them at a moment’s notice. I think this is part of the facade of the Democrats people are, unfortunately, going to respond to this election: Democrats, as a party, like to present themselves as being all about compromise and caring. Getting things done for the #AmericanPeople. But when it’s time to step down and let others shine in the limelight because you’ve had your time and the physical realities of age are something you have to acknowledge, or when there might be a better candidate for an election and you have to make the difficult choice of not getting what you want for the good of the country, that fucking sentiment disappears like a fart in the wind.
How many people who previously hadn’t been paying attention to the race tuned in and saw the same deterioration they’ve watched in their own parents and grandparents?
Well the facade was bound to pop eventually, it was just easy to keep when you have done 100 less press events than literally any president in the last 4 decades.
He’s been really really just hidden away and relying on good press to do all the talking for him and that’s now gone for sure.
Because Trump performed exactly how he has in every previous debate, I’m not saying it was good but it was the same shit level of performance that I expected.
Biden performed horrendously compared to expectations, that’s why he gets the focus. Trump lying his ass off just isn’t news anymore, I’m not justifying it but it would have been stranger if he hadn’t.
I know Trump shouldn’t get a pass but the reason Biden is getting so much focus and Trump isn’t is pretty obvious. Trump did as Trump does and Biden had a horrible performance.
Biden performed horrendously compared to expectations, that’s why he gets the focus.
Infuriating because people writing these headlines already know this. The entire purpose of these headlines is to deflect the real problem of Biden’s inability to fulfill his role as Chief Executive onto “Ah but have you considered Trump is worse?!”
I know Trump shouldn’t get a pass
I don’t think he really benefited from the debate either. Its not like anything he said resonated with the audience. It was the standard litany of grumpy old fascist bullshit. His approval rating didn’t go up. Nothing he said has endured as a talking point or meme. He didn’t even score a good laugh line.
This was a spectacle precisely because Biden was supposed to come out as a powerful voice to rally the mushy indie voters and… he didn’t. We have this enormous pool of people who are disgusted with both candidates. Biden didn’t put anything on the table to win them over. Trump didn’t either. So now we go into the convensions with two of the must unlikable candidates in living memory.
This was a spectacle precisely because Biden was supposed to come out as a powerful voice
Yeah I believe one of the people on the post debate panel said that the Biden team were the ones who pushed for this debate precisely to show that Biden was up to the task of being president again, which he failed at. Fair warning I could be dead wrong on that though.
Trump lying his ass off just isn’t news anymore
Therein lies the problem. It should be the ENTIRE news. This is what we get when we let huge companies dictate the “news” and push all this crap about Biden yet basically nothing about Trump.
It’s not journalism- it’s money.
Yeah I’m sure articles on Trump lying aren’t generating clicks like they used to, gotta get good clickbate somehow.
The people voting Trump like that about him. Stop pretending like they’re after the same voters, they’re not.
This article is about media reaction, not social media users.
Shockingly, you’ll find the medias audience is made up of those same people that those two candidates are campaigning to. I also don’t know where you see me talking about social media?
Democrats tell us democracy is on the line and many people including myself believe it, but then they push a weak candidate likely to lose merely because his team has lined their pockets with corporate donations and pledged allegiance to Israel. Democrats need to decide if democracy is on the line, or if they lie to their voters and don’t care if Trump wins.
Or, billionaires own media and using them to shape public opinion so they can get more corporate friendly candidate.
Biden was perceived as corporate friendly in 2020, but he delivered more worker friendly policies and also is promising to increase taxes on rich
This isn’t about getting a more corporate-friendly candidate. It is about beating Trump, plain & simple. Biden’s abysmal debate performance wasn’t CNN drugging him to instill a new corporate shill for the Democrat-party. The Democrat party is capable of pushing corporate shills themselves already, as they did in 2016.
Maybe not, but capitalism and fascism want the same things. They don’t care about Biden’s age, just their wealth and not supporting anyone who threatens that. That’s why all the narrative around Biden’s age is all we get out of that debate. The wealthy own all means of communication.
There’s a reason the saying, “the revolution will not be televised,” is relevant. I think you may be missing the plot a little as no one thinks CNN drugged or did anything else to Biden. But the media can make it so the national attention is on Biden. They want him replaced or they want tRump to win.
They’re playing chess while a majority of Americans are fighting about who gets the white pieces and who gets the red ones [cause they’re playing checkers]!
Biden deserves this loss, he literally said only God would take him out this race, but you know democracy is threatened! So lets run the shittiest candidate possible, and its extra infuriating because Biden/Harris is literally the most unlikeable ticket possible. Harris is even more unlikeable, Ive had numerous people ask me why an Indian girl raised in India and Canda whose crown achievement is locking up marijuana users is doing a BET advert talking about shes out in these streets. It feels like beyond pandering.
Speaking of CNN, many people are not aware that CNN changed owner in 2022 to MAGA friendly one. So I would now treat it more like Fox News lite.
Nobody expected anything else of Trump. Him lying is no longer news. It’s just how it is.
At this point, it’s clear his base does not read the news outside of their own bubbles, so why do people care that at least in our own bubble we remain critical. Otherwise, it’s a continued shift from a vote between full on fascism or a one party state.
*edit because we’re incredibly tense, not loose
Because Biden was the ‘electability’ candidate, and he’s looking pretty fucking un-electable.
The argument against swapping out candidates with 4 months to go is ostensibly because it’s not enough time to campaign, but that’s the reason Biden needs to be tapped out. Whoever is running needs to be able to clearly prosecute the case against Trump, but Biden can’t even deliver a coherent sentence. Even when he’s reading off prompter he’s flubbing words, missing cues, and can barely remember who’s still alive and who’s already dead. We can’t just hope people will read between the broken sentences; Biden needs to be able to campaign for himself. Turnout will be so fucking low if he doesn’t do his fucking job, and that will be nobody’s fault but his and the DNC’s if they don’t fucking do something now.
Quit complaining about how the press is reporting on his flubs; they’re not inventing that problem whole-cloth, Biden is clearly not doing well. People should be irate that the white house and the DNC have been ignoring this issue that’s been growing steadily for the last 3 and a half years.
We *lose if we do nothing about this. Fullstop.
deleted by creator
I do be so loose
DNC doesn’t care and pretending they do is pointless.
Harris needs to get out there and campaign hard.
Because in a televised debate, people only see performance. It’s not like anyone fact-checked Trump, either. Biden tried and failed to meaningfully rebut him, and the moderators didn’t even try.
There were moderators? The only people i noticed were 2 seriously overdressed stage hands that handled muting microphones. Other than that it was just Biden and Trump being total embarrassments.
That’s what moderators are supposed to do. They aren’t judges, or fact checkers. They are supposed to present the questions to the speakers, and manage time, and maybe on occasion ask a followup question. It’s the speakers job to respond to questions and their counterpart(s) on stage.
Because we all knew trump would lie. That’s not news. What we didn’t know, is how far Biden has slipped since 2020.
You know, and I know, but for the low-information voter, you’d be surprised. To many low-information voters, they think Trump occasionally exaggerates because he’s braggadocious, and they think Biden is a serial liar because he’s an establishment politician.
It’s a false equivalence, but his lies need to be pointed out and shown to be false. It’s hard, because he Gish Gallops all over the stage, but it needs to be done. Trump needs to be shown as a blatant and malicious liar to the average person. It needs to be made clear that he thinks very little of his base’s intelligence, and that he’s taking them for a ride.
Low-info voters won’t read the news and shun any media that doesn’t come straight out of trump puckered anus lips. Why would the news target that demographic? Or a better way to put it: News that targeted that demographic with that messaging were unable to compete with other news organizations.
“The World”?
I think you mean the press, and that press focus is the problem.
Because everyone knows that Trump is garbage and republicans are complicit. We’re hoping Democrats will challenge Biden
Somebody should plot a chart of media company revenues vs. political candidates and compare it with the stories they run.
I hope I’m wrong, but I suspect there may be some cross-correlation.
Oh you’re spot on. Trump likes to go on about his ratings, but even people who wouldn’t vote for him in a million years watch him. He’s entertaining. I don’t suppose it would be so bad if so many people didn’t see him as more than entertaining.
I’ve been guilty of it for 9 years now. “What crazy thing will Trump do next?” I used to sit when something would happen and refresh his twitter page because I knew that whatever he was about to do, it was going to be thoroughly entertaining.
I’ve found myself thinking, “this can’t be real” so many times.
You couldn’t give me anything to give him a vote because I don’t think he’s the right man for the job. I can see why a lot of people do. There have always been people who believe that leaders should lead through shows of strength. I get it, but I believe that leaders should lead through intelligence. A leader should be calm, collected, strategic, and intelligent. I just don’t see Donald Trump as any of those things. I see him as impulsive and a threat to the progress that so many people have fought for.
Biden’s performance at the debate has me terrified. It would have taken him sitting there drooling on the ground to frighten me enough to vote for Trump. I’m really hoping all the people who showed up in 2020 feel the same way. The damage an angry Trump could do this time could be irreparable. We all seen the “save America” rally and everything that followed. We’ve seen his stacked courts give him the power of a king. Take a moment and watch the videos of him recording his message to the people on Jan 6 if you haven’t seen it. Not the message itself, but the process of recording it.
I’ll shut up now. Y’all be good. :p
They could Weekend at Bernie’s Biden and I’d still vote for him over trump. He could be a fucking desiccated corpse, and as long as someone is there to move his stiff wrist across bills on his desk, he’s still a magnitude better.
Dems and leftists can rightfully bemoan this old fuck leading us again, but holy shit we are dealing with either an embarrassing but mostly effective fogey or a guy who wants to be the fucking emperor and is gleefully planning the literal destruction of our democracy as we know it.
The choice is so easy.
Billionaires own all the news outlets
Yeah, this does feel a bit astroturfed, I think they don’t like his promises of increasing taxes on rich and strengthening protections for workers.
And exposure from the Epstein Files being unsealed.
Don’t forget thats how we got Joe in the first place, lost all the first dem primaries in 2020, while the media kept saying don’t count him out because reasons, while literally hiding wins by Bernie and other dems. I wonder where all these people come from that think a confirmed liar Source and has been in politics so long he supported and advocated for segregation Source that raised $127 million just last month Source is somehow being targeted by corporate interests and needs to be protected?
Because everyone expects trump to lie.
Continually, repeatedly and with wild abandon. People noticed Biden’s stumble BECAUSE it was out of the norm
With trump it was the same old shit he always says
It wasn’t out of the norm, it’s just up till that point all the gaffs were smaller audience and MSM and online CTR types constantly saying things like “he’s got a stutter!” or “you’re just ageist!” and the debate was much more obvious and watched by enough that those deflections aren’t working anymore.
I held my nose and voted Biden last election BTW, we just should have faced the facts that he’s clearly been in cognative decline and put in place steps to have a successor prepared, but the party decided it had to be Biden and here we are.
You held your nose to vote for the objectively better candidate who has gone on to do more for the progressive movement than any other president ever.
I have to say that shit like that constantly being said can’t possibly help either. Constant negativity at every stage no matter what; great look.
Bernie would have been better on literally every front and he was fucked by the DNC and the elites.
Saying Biden has been the most progressive president is honestly hilarious to me, like did you know FDR existed? Ever looked into some of the glorious policies in that time?
Trump is literally a wannabe evil dictator, so yeah Biden is clearly the better candidate, but let’s be real here please.
It’s not correct to say Biden has been more progressive than FDR, especially for the time. However, it’s also not “hilarious” to mistake the number 2 for the number 1. Policy-wise Biden has been enormously good for the working class and it’s not honest to say otherwise. Also, FDR had almost 4 terms and never openly sided with a union over a corporation like Biden did.
What union did Biden openly side with? If it’s the rail one I’m thinking of, he broke the strike and forced them back… So…
What other progressive policies has Biden implemented? (Serious question)
I do know about the student loan stuff, which was killed, did raise the minimum wage for federal workers, which is nice but also just a small improvement. Roe v Wade is out now (not directly his fault ofc) and I haven’t seen any overall improvements/changes on that front.
UAW.
NLRB appointments that are top notch, FTC appointments that are top notch, the ones you mentioned, improved overtime 1.5x pay regulations, LOTS of infrastructure spending for public transport, lots of antitrust in the tech sector specifically regarding privacy and data brokering, strict regulations against Airlines and banks who apply hidden fees and predatory return/overdraft loan interest policies as well as specific mortgage loan practices which result in surprise rate increases, and he might be structuring for Marijuana decriminalization, it’s already down to schedule 3 from schedule 1. Most of his accomplishments are tied to his agencies and some smart appointments to them, and it is a big reason the Supreme Court is trying to gut them.
His executive orders have been much more measured than Obama’s and Trump’s, for better or for worse. He doesn’t seem to want the supreme court to slap down everything he does, but that’s a neoliberal for you.
I see your point, I guess my stance is a lot of those feel like neolib small steps, which aren’t nothing for sure, just hard to say they’re actually progressive, as most progressive ideals I align with require much larger changes to structure in general. Neolib policies are partially what brought us to this place (of course the GOP ghouls tearing it all down every other presidency doesn’t help…) I think a lot of it ends up feeling like the dems promise a lot and then under deliver every time, but they clearly don’t cheerlead the wins they do make enough either. Feels like they’re constantly just trying to fight off right wing narratives instead, which is clearly just a waste of time as they will misrepresent and straight lie as much as possible.
