It's a rorschach test. He could conduct the whole thing while riding a unicycle and it still wouldn't satisfy some critics.
apparently I shouldn't call you a cultist again because I've said it a bunch of times but goddamn you keep saying cult-like stuff, such as this perfect winner. uh-oh @dank69 is gonna get mad at me but not at you. silly little dank.

man, get out of BlueAnon, it's not a good look.

He confused Trump and Harris in his first response. His voice is raspy and tends to fade. Like he’s running on fumes. I was surprised at the suddenness and loudness of his remarks about children and guns. Then he’s back to the way he was before those remarks - speaking slowly and appearing to be exhausted. But all in all, he gives what are substantial and correct answers to the questions.

I really don't know how they can't replace him at this point. A growing number of Dems in congress, party leaders and governors are calling for him to step down. If your party isn't behind your candidate, how do expect to get the public/voters behind him?

I just don't think Kamala will be a compelling candidate for indies. They will hang the "border czar" stuff around her neck and it will unfortunately work.

I have a very hard time, after the last 8 years, of seeing America vote for her. It's just not in our voting DNA at this time.

Thing with AOC is she will lose the independents, on the other hand she might spawn a base akin to MAGA inversed. Shrugs, who knows.


AOC is too liberal for much of the country. She’d do worse than Kamala…or Hillary.
At this point, the Dems are fucked. Between the Dem politicians calling for Biden to step down, and Dem voters who are freaking out, calling for him to step down, Trump is shoo- in…felonies and all.

You also thought the Dems would get destroyed in 2022. I think America is ready - especially because the GQP has gifted us with Trump as their candidate. He is a gift, we just need someone competent to run against him. There will be people that will say, well, this would normally be outside my comfort zone a bit, but to defeat Trump? And she will inspire a shit ton of women and younger people. A lot.

I think Harris will do way better than you say, in fact, I think she has a way higher chance to win than basically the guy right now that is for shit sure.

And 10 years ago people would say that someone like Trump is too unamerican nazi-like and putin cock sucking to amount to anything.

I love AOC, but I fear a 'Democrat' cult of personality fascist as much as I do a Republican one. I don't think AOC would be, but you gotta be careful normalizing that stuff.

It seems to me there are two questions to be answered here:

1) Is he fine to be President right now?

2) Does he have the required gas in the tank for the campaign?

First one is a yes, second one feels like a no.

Well look at it this way it’s a step down from requiring literal God to tell him to hang it up.
Maybe he thinks some people in his inner circle actually get instructions from the big guy in the sky

Pretty funny on Threads. The cultists are running out of shows to watch on MSNBC because they won't watch anyone that criticizes Biden. They think this press conference was exemplary and proves Biden is rock rock solid, see it was just one debate. They think that this whole get rid of Biden is being run by very wealthy white men who run the Dem party, and Clooney is just another mouth piece for them. It's the elite men against women, minorities, etc..

Wasn't Trump the guy who was doing all the big rallies in 2020? Biden was not and still beat him. Evidently Trump has spent the last couple weeks playing golf while Biden has done 20 events including NATO Summit and today's news conference. He looked the best I've seen him in a while. The flubs weren't shit. BFD. He's occasionally mixed up names for decades. The last question he was asked was something like 'what about the flubs?" His answer was quite witty: "Listen to Trump," and he walked away smiling.

I think Biden can pull this off..

Everyone's out to get him.. and he maybe old but he's not giving up. He's a fighter.

I don't think there's anyone who really believes mainstream media anymore.. started with conservaterrorists but now even we rely on AP and genz relies on tiktok.

CNN, NBC, ABC are all having massive layoffs because no one watches them and they publish sensationalist garbage for clicks. If anything they're dying faster than Biden.

Biden may get a sympathy vote and that may be enough.

Julius Caesar wasn't loved.. he was villified but the people saw he was being villified and went to support him. It's sorta like he's out trumping Trump this cycle.. and it may be his only shot!

Yeah once convention officially declares he’s the Dem candidate, the party members and donors will fall back into line. George Clooney will still vote Biden in the end.

Actually, someone in the gallery shouted “Trump is mocking you on UnTruth Social because you called VP Harris Trump.”

That’s when he said “Listen to Trump.”

10 years ago, that would probably have been true...(it still is, IMO, but Trumpism is a cult all of its own)

Seems over 1/2 their ads are for weird ass pharmaceuticals for people of advanced age. I watch because I want to know what's going on but their coverage is embarrassing and depressing, insulting too. I timeshift with FF/Pause/Rewind, I could never stand to watch that shit live.
