I’ll speak slowly. You’re going to get Trump, because this ego maniac won’t step down.

This isn’t a messaging problem. It won’t go away by making people not talk about it. All you do is increase Trumps likelihood of winning.

Stop trying to help Trump win by ignoring senility in his opponent.

OK boomer.

There it is.

The automatic assumption anyone disagreeing with you is a bot.

That last desperate cry of the boomer.

You.

What you don’t know.

You say that as if he has dementia, which he does not. Why can’t we accept that maybe the debate was a “bad day”? Why are we pretending it’s now the norm for how he behaves?

Because it isn’t a bad day. It was the standard for any time he isn’t in front of a teleprompter.

Has he ever been that, though? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him speaking as much as any other president. I mean, the Dark Brandon stuff didn’t come out from him sitting behind his desk.

This is just delusional. Biden has given the least number of news conferences since Reagan. Huh, do you remember what they were covering up with Reagan again?

Why are we pretending that Biden is a whole different person than he was even one year ago over this? It’s so insidious.

We’re not. Most people just got to see what has been apparent for a while now.

Anthony Blinken is the worst secretary of state in my lifetime.

He is so incompetent that William Burns, the head of the CIA has been traveling all over the world for negotiations. Because Blinken is so bad, and not respected internationally.

Biden’s foreign policy has been an absolute disaster. Aided, in part, by his choice of an incompetent cabinet.

So, I guess what I’m saying is I’d like some of what you’re smoking. It seems like it is really really good for denial.

That wasn’t a stutter.

Describing it as such is such a “Don’t believe your lying eyes” comment that it does more to dissuade people from your viewpoint.

There’s 25 comments here.

One idiot here is the one living in a echo-chamber because they believe anyone with a different opinion is a bot or an idiot.

P.S. Don’t forget to re-enforce that echo chamber. I had an different opinion than yours on the definition of the words idiot and bot. that means I’ve got to be one or the other.

They are not bound to lose.

That is a statement that is being pushed, along with the whole Biden “Over prepared” thing as a talking point to push why we have to stick with a dementia-addled genocidal asshole.

It’s simply not a true statement. You’re stating an opinion as fact, and it’s misleading as shit.

The second someone else gets picked is the second that they (Whoever they are) have name recognition and people will consider that person.

No, we’re not.

The convention hasn’t happened yet.

Finally, the logic is simple. Biden is a genocidal fascist. If you’re afraid that we will live in a fascist state if Trump is elected, then my answer is we already do.

If Trump is elected and goes full fascist, what do you plan on doing? Whatever it is, you should already be doing it.

Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.

Resisting fascism and genocide isn’t about virtue. It’s about survival. You’ve been conned into believing that if you just vote for the lesser genocidal fascist, then you or whatever oppressed group you identify with will be fine. You will not.

This well known poem

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

is about you.

Oh, you are right about that.

He can’t. His only power over SCOTUS is nominating Justices in the event of a vacancy.

This is wrong. He can pack the courts RIGHT NOW. The Democratic party still holds the Senate. There is no requirement for there to only be nine justices.

Edit: This does require the house changing the number of justices. So the above is incorrect.

Backing genocide isn’t better.

There is no harm-reduction past a certain point, there is just throwing vulnerable people under the bus to save yourself.

Convention hasn’t happened yet. It literally isn’t too late for that.

Everyone hates her for very good reasons.

There is a reason California didn’t vote for her.

At that level, Kamala is hated by her home state as well.

You weren’t paying attention. Many states banned anyone else from the ballot, even though there wasn’t cause for that by the rules.

There were no debates (Something that would have given Democratic party members time to decide if they thought Biden was electable.)

Some states were told their delegates wouldn’t count.

There was no fair Democratic Party primary. If you think there was you were either not paying attention, or you didn’t want a fair primary in the first place.

This problem is a problem of the Democratic Part{EDIT}y’s own making.

I’ve been self-hosting a bunch of stuff for over a decade now, and have not had that issue.

Except for a matrix server with open registration for a community that others not in the community started to use.

If they do, that will very likely pull in Iran, Russia, and now with the recent agreement, possibly North Korea.

The US is not as big as they were in the late nineties and early aughts.

The situation is not static at all.

Hezbollah has significantly improved upon their capabilities during that time period. Also, as a corollary to this, weapons technology in general has significantly advanced in a form that brings various capabilities to state actors that didn’t use to have the tech or financial base to support them.

Guidance systems, avionics, electronics, and drones are changing the face of warfare in a way that removes a lot of the tech advantages rich nations had over poorer nations. But, the richer nations (And this isn’t just about Israel, but most of the western states) are sticking their heads in their sand because their weapons manufactures are used to being used more for laundering tax payer money to the right people then for making great weapons. The main drones for the US cost between 30-40 million EACH!

Furthermore, Israel is going through all of the copium that settler colonialist societies go through when their martial superiority is starting to come into question. They clutch harder to their beliefs that make them feel secure. Israel withdrew in 2006 and declared themselves victors when it was obvious that they were not victors at all. Now, that is all that Israel remembers about 2006. That they won. That is what they truly believe.

There are a lot of delusions that are about to break here. That is why I say that if they try with Hezbollah, that it will be a ‘Find Out’ stage.

EDIT: Also, people tend to use the wrong measurement for what they consider to make an army strong. One of the most important factors is a willingness for a military to take causalities. There are very few armies stronger than Hezbollah by this measurement, whereas Israel has been very weak on this front since the early 2000’s. Having a conscript army will do that.
