He stepped down because he was not a particularly popular president, and because people are dumb enough to believe the Nazis when they say something.
Okay I see what you're trying to say, but calling it "Nazi propaganda" is inaccurate and confusing. Just because a Nazi said something doesn't mean it's Nazi propaganda. That's just confusing.
Also, as someone who actually liked what Biden was doing a lot (specifically, his attack on monopolists/billionaires through the FTC and DOJ), I do believe he was senile. I'm not a doctor, but he showed clear signs of what many of us have seen in our own aging family members.
Ofc, Trump is senile too, but also insane, stupid, evil, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. Neither him nor Biden should've been running.
Uhh, he was senile. Everything in his debate and press conferences indicated as such.
We beat Medicare... lol
Not if you watched with any kind of honesty.
He isnt a great debator, but he wasn't senile
He dropped out of the re-election bid because he had a "senior moment" in the debate - that's not full blown senility, but it's enough to sway plenty of people who are deciding who gets their finger on the launch button for WWIII.
Because he wasnt 100% perfect. This is just the standard double standard. Trump spends the whole time shitting himself on stage, and Biden isnt 100% perfect and now people are crying about him.
The only way people thought Clinton was a problem is if they started thinking he was a problem because they had already started drinking the cool-aid
Totally agree. And those "Let's go Brandon" morons who were "all about the price of gas" somehow are still giving repeat offender sleeping during meetings shitting himself while incoherently ranting figurehead a pass because it was never about what they were talking about anyway, it's all about "us vs them" and whatever their delusions are about how "their team" is looking out for them - they lie to themselves almost as often as they lie about their reasons for their decisions. No, it's not worth debating when the other side is transparently 100% insincere.
He stepped down because he came off badly during his debate with Trump.
He really didnt.
Nobody who saw that debate that wasn't already guzzling down propaganda thought trump did well
I would vote for a cardboard cutout or actual criminal Democrat over trump, and I saw the debate, and I knew it was doom for the Biden campaign.
My heart was broiling because Trump has never been fit since 2016, but he was the same psychotic lunatic he always is, "they're eating the cats they're eating the dogs!" But Biden was noticably confused, losing his place, forgetting what he was saying or what the question was, and returning to stock cliches.
99% of people watching would come out of it thinking "Biden seems older than he was" which is obvious on the face of it but Republicans had been laying the dementia propaganda for months and now they had "evidence".
yea, the double standard is real.
Hes a bad public speaker and a bad debator.
Right,
The only people who watched that debate and thought that Biden had dementia had already been guzzling the coolaid.
Trump is an actual fascist. Who said he would rule as dictator. Unless the cardboard cutout was also a fascist, there is no double standard here.
Trump never did well, Biden still came off badly. It's the old double standard - Clinton gets impeached for a blowjob, meanwhile pedo island gets a pass. Democratic candidates have to be super-human smart, educated, informed - but others just have to be "relatable."
Biden is not a great public speaker, and not a great debator.
But yea, double standard,.
