No. I’m saying not involving an ocean and being right next to Ukraine is a lot closer

What?

In both cases Russia and Israel are partly invading to get ocean access, but you’re coming out of nowhere with that…

Like, none of what you’re saying is making any sense.

Did you mean to reply to someone else?

I’m done arguing about distances on a map when it is much closer than we are.

Closer than we are to what?

You mean Israel is closer to Russia than America?

That’s not true either.

But like, you’re the one that only wants to talk about the distance you were wrong about, there’s lots of other wrong things you said I’m trying to explain here…

And you’re ignoring literally everything else I said

I mean, when talking about geopolitics, the “geo” part is fundamentally important…

It would have been nice if you apologized, but fine we’ll move on to the next sentence:

Meanwhile in Sudan, Ukraine, China, Myanmar, etc. there are millions more people being killed/impacted by genocidal governments and these don’t even make the list of anyone giving a shit when it comes to presidential choice.

In which of those is the US providing munitions to the attackers against international and domestic laws for them to carry out a genocide?

Quick edit:

Were you going to answer this:

And why are you calling a genocide a war? Because the victims have been resisting?

There’s just so much wrong with your first comment, it’s hard to address it all.

But I’m willing to help explain it so you can understand. This is pretty important stuff. We cleared up that Israel isn’t in Europe pretty quickly. So I’m optimistic on the rest.

It’s on the same continent

Just about 50% further away than America is wide…

Like, did you think putting something in all caps meant sarcasm?

Usually people do it to show that they’re being literal.

Did you just not know and instead of admitting it you’re trying to say that you knew it was 3,700 miles away and intentionally said that was close?

Pissing them off may not be a good formula. Even if they are doing shitty things.

1. Genocide that we’re violating international law to supply munitions for is not “shitty things”

2. Pissing them off? By telling them to stop the current genocide or not to attack another foreign government at the same time that’s allied with multiple nuclear powers?

It’s not a black and white decision to stop helping when they have been receiving it for 50 plus years.

Well, that’s sunk cost fallacy… And over those 50 years almost every US president has had to threaten to cut off aid to prevent it from progressing to this. It wasn’t till Biden came into office after 50 years of saying he’ll always support Israel for them to take it this far. Biden isn’t going to stop, and neither is Israel

I’m just trying to get your pov, but I can’t follow it logically

Except Israel has been talking about starting another invasion against Hezbollah…

Who have a defensive treaty with Russia, Iran, and a couple others.

An ally that starts wars isn’t a good ally.

They’re not providing a strategic advantage, they’re dragging us into large scale multi-country war.

It would likely get tied up with Ukraine as well, and get us to a legit WW3.

Because Biden won’t cut weapons to Israel and has spent 50 years saying there’s no line that Israel could cross

Edit:

RIGHT NEXT TO RUSSIA.

I googled it…

Israel is 3,700 some miles away from Russia. That’s wider than America

Do you think Palestine is in Europe?

And why are you calling a genocide a war? Because the victims have been resisting?

Could’ve sworn you said you didn’t want a political debate?

Is this one of those things where you always have to reply?

And your link is just Biden v trump head to head?

What’s going on here?

Do you think it’s easier to convince 10s of millions of voter’s minds?

Or get Joe Biden to understand that polls show people don’t want him and that the best thing he can do to prevent trump is step aside.

Seriously.

The funniest part is when they pivot to Biden not being important because staff does everything…

Every argument for Biden being the candidate, comes down to Biden having zero power or importance as president. But also trump can do anything he wants if Biden loses.

Like, why the fuck are we plowing ahead with 34% approval rating incumbent if he literally brings nothing to the table? And if Biden as president is powerless, the only way Trump could be so dangerous is Biden chooses not to act.

The more people talk about Biden, the less sense he makes as a candidate to voters.

And getting more votes (in the right states) is what matters most short term. Biden isn’t up to it.

Which is why we need to run a candidate with a shot of beating trump…

It’s too important of an election to let Joe have one more go out of nostalgia.

It would be easiest for everyone if he stepped aside, but he’s not willing to.

Because he’s sundowning…

He’s no longer fit to be president, they’ve been hiding it for a year, he’s lucky he hasn’t gotten the 25th.

Pre-emptive edit:

Yes, trump is worse. But republicans won’t do shit. We can be better than them. Have higher standards.

It’ll even help keep republicans out of office.

Edit:

For people who don’t know what that is, he’s admitted to most of the symptoms, and the things he blames the symptoms on, are literally well known triggers that exacerbate the symptoms.

https://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/manage-sundowning

https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/alzheimers-changes-behavior-and-communication/tips-coping-sundowning

If you’re lucky enough you’ll develop symptoms before you die, we’re all on a clock our brains don’t work forever.

A New York Times poll conducted after the debate, which was published on Wednesday, suggested Trump was now holding his biggest lead yet at six points.

And a separate poll published by the BBC’s US partner CBS News suggested Trump has a three-point lead over Mr Biden in the crucial battleground states

Him refusing to listen to voters is reason enough to replace him.

But Joe can’t win without Dem voters. Every indication is he’s willing to hand trump the presidency out of spite if the party doesn’t force him out.

He’s not fit to be president, even if we beat Trump. We’re stuck with this shit where Biden does whatever the fuck he wants, and rarely agrees with the people who put him in office.

If there was one at this point it would hurt the chances of the democrats winning.

Whitmere has a smaller difference than Biden does…

She hasn’t been running a campaign or been backed by the DNC?

Why would she suddenly do worse with those things?

But this is all just my opinion and not fact.

It is your opinion, the issue is to get to it you’re ignoring facts …

I’m not looking to get into a political debate

So…

You just want to proclaim your opinions and not have anyone explain why you’re wrong?

You could just stop commenting on politics, that would help with avoiding political debates

Because a change at this point would be almoost impossible

How?

The candidate literally hasn’t been named yet?

And any lead that the democrats may have will be put in jepordy by a change.

Lead?

What lead?

trump is fucking winning in polls because Biden’s approval rating was down to like 34% last I checked.

We can’t afford to keep Biden.

I remember this being a large issue in 2016

The only logical conclusion is the people leading the Dem party would rather have a Republican president and they control the party, than a progressive president who puts progressives in charge of the party.

We ain’t fighting the same fight, and it’s time we acknowledged it

That makes him the overwhelmingly best choice for president

It makes him a better choice than trump…

But the majority of voters don’t believe that

So why shouldn’t we raise our standards to win the election? Literally 100s of millions of Americans are also better than trump it ain’t a small club bub.

Really good article, it sucks people down it’s what they don’t want to hear.

And I’m not just saying that because their #1 Reason is something I’ve been calling out since the pool came out:

The basis for this claim was a post-debate Data for Progress (DFP) poll that found Biden and Harris taking 45 percent of the vote against Trump, while various other Democrats — from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — won no higher than 44 percent.

DFP is a total shit show, like last election we found out the founder was betting on close elections, then using DFP to conduct polls who’s results would be used to influence results so he’d win the bet.

He was also soliciting employees to participate in straw donor schemes.

Even before all that, they didn’t get popular for accurate polls. They got popular by doing very fast polls that provide the narrative their donors asked for.

The stuff DFP didn’t publicize about the poll they used to say Biden was the only shit:

Even the Biden campaign’s own handpicked public poll suggests that he is not the Democrats’ strongest candidate. Yes, the president received 45 percent support against Trump in DFP’s survey, while other hypothetical nominees secured slightly less. And yet, in some of those theoretical head-to-heads, Trump’s share of the vote also fell; whereas the Republican led Biden 48 to 45, he led Whitmer 46 to 44. In other words, the best poll the president could find showed him losing by a larger margin than the governor of Michigan — who has yet to introduce herself to the national electorate.

And that same poll also showed that 1) 67 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve as president, 2) a majority of voters are more concerned about Biden’s age than Trump’s “criminal charges and threats to democracy,” and 3) Biden has a worse net approval rating than every single other Democrat included in the survey.

Biden and the DNC don’t want polls to know what voters think, they want polls that tell voters what to think.

…

Yes. trump is obviously worse, not just because of his age, but because he’s a total psychopath.

Which is why it’s so important he’s not president.

And why sooooooo many Dem voters want a better candidate against him.

Feel free to go demand trump steps down, it’ll be great if he did but he’ll never listen.

Biden is supposed to be better tho, he’s supposed to be trying to help the country, not just personally become president. And right now the best thing Biden can do is stand down.

Would have been a shitton better if he said he wasn’t running a year ago, but he didn’t.

That doesn’t mean people have to stop saying damn near every metric and data point available shows Biden won’t be able to beat Trump.

If it feels too late now, imagine how it’s going to feel in a month at the convention.

Edit:

Be careful though

The main reason to vote Biden is to stop trump, if you get rid of trump, there goes Biden’s entire campaign and the replacement Republican will definitely win if it’s still Biden.

He is often sharp and focused. But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn’t grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people’s names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room.

Biden’s occasional struggles with focus may not be unusual for someone his age. But at 81 years old and seeking another four years in the White House, the moments when he’s off his game have taken on a fresh resonance following his disastrous debate performance against Republican Donald Trump. The president appeared pale, gave nonsensical answers, stared blankly and lost his train of thought.

We’re not asking if grandpa can live on his own till or needs to move to a retirement home…

We’re asking if Biden is up to 4 more years of literally the most stressful job in the country. One that has no set working hours and you might have to react to an international incident past 7pm.

Joe Biden has reportedly told a key ally he may not be able to continue with his 2024 campaign if he cannot change the American electorate’s mind about his health and well-being with his next handful of public appearances, the first indication from the president that he understands the seriousness of the damage done by his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in Atlanta, Georgia, last week.

But Biden also said on a call with White House staff on Wednesday: “No one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”

He’s got this shit backwards…

He’s got this outdated view based on boomer logic of what voters want.

Most voters are under 40 this election, at our oldest we were we teenagers during 9/11. Most literally can’t remember pre 9/11.

We don’t want a leader that displays strength by a refusal to listen to the public. One that makes up their mind and charges ahead no matter what

If Biden had came out the next morning after the debate and said that first paragraph at a press briefing. It would have helped his numbers with that demographic more than anything else. And that’s who he struggles with, he can’t afford not to have them because trump has 65 and up.

But if he just straight up said:

I fucked up, give me a chance to prove myself or I’ll step aside.

That’s the type of presidential shit that voters who grew up post 9/11 and have since learned how wrong it was want. Instead of what the narrative has been the last week, everyone would have been hyping his appearances and “giving him a shot” he’d have completely drowned out trump in coverage, but this time for a good reason.

Like, he’s running against trump, it’s not hard to come up with shit like this, but this is what happens where you stop listening to anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with you. It’s a spiral lots of people fall into when they become wealthy/powerful/successful

A new poll from the New York Times/Siena College showed that 49% of voters would vote for Trump, compared with 43% of voters who said they would vote for Biden.

A different poll said former first lady Michelle Obama is the only Democrat who could beat Trump, but she has previously said she would not be running.

I honestly don’t know what her personal politics are, but fuck it, she’s got the best chance at beating trump and that’s what matters most.
