Because it doesn’t change anything.

Meh, I wanna see receipts. I hate the dude, but he’s also a habitual liar, like Trump. So I wouldn’t put it past him to make this up.

He’s a kiss ass. JD Vance has used every public speaking opportunity to suck Trump’s dick very publicly.

And JD Vance believes it, he just doesn’t care.

Just wanna point that out.

TL;DR

Please add some formatting, break up this wall of text into paragraphs or something, make it easier on my eyes and I might read it.

Trump is only 4 years younger than Biden. And way more mentally unstable.

They’re both too fuckin old for the job, but I don’t see the Democrats replacing Biden and rebuilding their political race in 4 months. I also don’t see Trump stepping down any time soon, so as much as it sucks, these are the choices.

What. The. FUCK.

I don’t disagree about the DNC’s ego, but the stakes are very different from 2016.

Biden has people with standards and morals to motivate.

Are you suggesting those people with morals and standards will just abandon those morals and standards to vote Trump because Biden didn’t look as good as they wanted? Or just not vote because Biden didn’t live up to those standards, despite the Supreme Court and Trump making it very clear that democracy is on the ballot.

This isn’t going to be a race decided by undecided voters, no one is sitting on the fence despite what the media might be saying. The only people saying they are undecided simply don’t want to admit their politics out in the public.

And like you said, Trump voters see his shittiness to others as a feature, not a bug. But democrats don’t. They see it for what it is, shittiness. So Why, in your mind, would Dem leaning voters look at all of the things Trump has done and decide “you know what, that Biden guy and the Democrats better align to my morals and standards, but Biden looked awfully old… I better vote for the guy trying to destroy democracy, he’s only 78 after all.”

No one is seriously considering that. It’s just not a real option. The only thing I could see being a possibility is people being discouraged against voting entirely because Biden didn’t exactly fit into their perfect mold of a candidate. So as a protest, they abstained from voting, and in turn allowed fascism to win through their collective inaction. I can’t see anybody even remotely leaning Democrat doing that though. If they’ve been paying even the slightest bit of attention, they’ve probably already decided to protest vote against Trump.

You’re talking about Biden’s ‘massive ego’ in a race with Trump as a candidate? 🤣

Yep. I’m voting against Trump, not for Biden. Trump could run against a rock for all I care.

It’s July. Who the fuck is supposed to replace him? These articles are fuckin pointless.

This is like Charlie with his sword talking to Mac with his gun

Listen. I don’t like Biden. I didn’t get a choice of who should run for the Democratic party in my state.

But at the end of the day, I would pick a literal pile of dog shit that’s turned white from being cooked in the sun, over Donald Trump.

The debate isn’t changing anyones mind. It sure is generating a lot of panic news though because to the news, appearing tired is just as damaging as appearing unhinged and lying nonstop.

Doubt

Wouldn’t this mean a president has an obligation to kill his political opponents if they’re seen as a threat to the United States, and as an official act, it would be completely legal? Effectively making one man above the law.

Even if it’s not seen as an official act, you can’t charge the president while they’re in the office, and with that power and a loyal justice department, you could eliminate anyone who might try to argue the legality of your actions.

Good luck convincing anyone to bring a case against the guy who keeps making people disappear when they investigate him.

This + project 2025 & a trump presidency is the end of US democracy. I don’t even wanna start thinking about the impacts globally…

Oh look at that. The author, Steven E. Koonin, was employed by BP as their Chief Scientist. Then he was in the department of energy during Obama’s administration.

I’m sure he doesn’t have a vested interest in oil though.

The energy transition’s purported climate benefits are distant, vague and uncertain while the costs and disruption of rapid decarbonization are immediate and substantial.

Yeah… No conflict of interest here at all.
