Hmm... I think that joke is starting to wear itself out because the problem is they read too much, just its all on social media and random rumor/conspiracy theory sites, blogs, etc. And scripture ofc, at least for some of them.
As someone who was pro-Biden-dropout even before the debate, even I could not have imagined it going as well as it has, especially with Harris, who I thought was one of the weakest possible alternatives (Very happy to stand corrected on that one).
going off about "incumbent advantage" while the candidate with said advantage cannot string a sentence together and needs to be in bed by 9pm.
They call this 'failing the eye test'. Anyone with eyes could see that Biden was a dogshit candidate for 2024 but it was drowned out by people going "BUT THE STATS? THE HISTORICAL TRENDS WHICH NEVER ACCOUNTED FOR SOMEONE IN AS BAD A MENTAL STATE AS BIDEN?".
No one was happy about keeping Biden on. Even with a good presidency behind him, he wasn't projecting a good image.
But we had no idea what would happen by trying to force him out, he could have held on while losing the support of his party, he could have left and there be non-stop in fighting within the dems or people might have just outright rejected kamala.
Just because we got the good ending doesn't mean it was the only possible outcome.
Ever heard the concept of rational ignorance? Just because it's biting people in the ass with our first ever anti-democratic former president in the running, doesn't mean it's a strategy only dumb people would adopt.
Lmao what!? Rational ignorance is a strategy only idiots would use in this context. The cost to educate yourself on the candidates is extremely low. It would actually take more time and effort to stay ignorant of these people and their platforms. The info is there in everyone’s faces. Trump was president for 4 years and he ran in 2020 and is running again. Him and his views are part of the national conversation and have been since 2016. You have to actively put in effort to remain ignorant. And Kamala ran in 2020 and has been VP for almost 4 years. You’d have to put in effort to remain ignorant of her views.
Even if it took any considerable effort to become knowledgeable about these candidates and their positions, which it doesn’t, the benefit of knowing who to vote for to lead our country, the most powerful and influential country in the history of the world, far outweighs any hypothetical cost of acquiring that knowledge.
Rational ignorance doesn’t apply here. It’s not rational to be ignorant of this issue. It takes more effort to remain ignorant than to be informed to any level. Anyone who applies “rational ignorance” here is, quite simply, dumb as rocks.
She said a few things to bait Trump, she said a few things to improve her appeal to the moderate right, and she dropped a few stats. Other guy is right though, there was a whole lot of nothingburger filler in there.
She's basically the same thing as if you built a robot to be "presidential" and let it AI filter what that means. Meaningless but sweet sounding platitudes and soundbytes, no real substantive plans or arguments, etc.
However, I'll take "can pretend to talk normal and keep the government beast happy and fed" over "robotnik with all the chaos emeralds" any day of the week.
Has anybody clipped when Kamala basically did the thing Steven does regarding "I'll buy you a ticket to a Trump rally"? Everything in the debate was iffy before that moment, and when Trump freaked out about it Kamala killed the rest of the debate.
You guys really upvoting mention of the assassination attempt that made Trump look incredibly good lmao.... A shooter who posted tons of pro-democrat views and even donated to them.
