      Biden can’t debate Trump. He’s already proven that. After his little speech tonight, there’s no doubt he’s got dementia. Dems have tried to blame it on a cold, a stutter, and jetlag. Wonder what they’ll be saying tomorrow?

        Nobody can debate Trump. He doesn’t debate. He makes shit up.

        Kids on playgrounds don’t debate. They just pretend and yell when things don’t go their way. Trump is no different.

        People need to stop catering to that clown.

        Did you watch the press conference? He misspoke a few times but he had a command of the facts and it seemed fine. It was more coherent than any speech Trump has given since he started losing it.

        I’m not at all happy we’re choosing between people whose brains are turning to mush but Biden’s press conference was normal enough. He answered the questions and knew policy details.

          Cast your mind back to the Obama era, and imagine having a genuine discussion on whether a candidate has dementia, by assessing how many sentences they fumbled during their latest presser.

          It’s absolutely absurd. Preposterous.

          I’ve become convinced that Biden is toxic to the left. He’s got to go. Even if he is mentally competent he’s lost the faith of the left, and he’s made this campaign about his fitness rather than Trumps.

          It should be a slam dunk but he’s lost it.

          No more free passes for Biden on these flubs. It’s not a minor “misspeak” when Zelensky is called Putin and your own vp is called Trump… It’s unacceptable to be this incoherent as the most powerful leader in the world. This is not fine, and if he stays in we will see worse before the election. Obviously there is no world where he is fit to be president 4 years from now.

          It’s to bad he gets a lot of those policy details wrong. For one, he claims inflation is going down when it’s not. It’s rising at a slower pace but still not going down. It’s been getting higher every month. He claims the Border Patrol endorsed him and his border plan and that was disputed the following day by the head of the border patrol saying that they didn’t endorse Biden and never will. Liberal news outlets will cover for Joe’s lies though so it’s no surprise that a lot of folks believe the stuff he says

        The downvotes are insane. I’m not voting Trump, but I’m certainly not deluded enough to think Biden’s a good candidate. And I’m not going to avoid discussing it because it’s not convenient.

        “but Trump’s a raving lunatic!” Sticks fingers firmly in ears

        Edit: presumably I’m getting downvoted because Trump has set the bar so low that we’re ingnoring the common opinion that Biden should retire gracefully rather than acting surprised when Trump wins and getting forced out anyway.

          Again, the downvotes are nuts.

          People cheering the emperor with no clothes is crazy. But here we are.

          Vote out Trump, but quit pretending Biden’s a good choice. It can be both.
