      As a non American I thank you for the chance to have more Trump, you fucking morons. 😕

      Biden should consider campaigning then. If this election is so important, maybe we need a more effective candidate?

        Biden could literally not say another word the rest of the year and still be the smarter choice than letting Trump in.

        Do I wish he was 30 years younger and more active? Of course. I wish a lot of things. That doesn’t change that democracy is literally on the line and I’d vote for a corpse to keep Republicans out of office.

          Look at the polling. Biden isn’t winning this election.

          If you really want to stop Trump, you have to start using your brain and realize that by all metrics Biden is losing. This blue no matter who attitude, where its turning a blind eye to the actual campaign failure which is Joe Biden, which is happening in real time, WILL ensure us a Trump presidency.

            The only poll that matters is in November. Hillary was a shoo-in in March of 2016. (And in front in March of 2008 IIRC)

              No, the polling right fucking now matters.

              NO candidate EVER has come back from the deficit showing.

              Do you actually want to stop Trump or not?

                  The guy’s losing his mind over 3 points 8 months before the election.

                  It’s not a great position for Biden to be in, but throwing in the towel now is a terrible idea.

                  Are these goal posts being moved or is this an actual request?

                  Because if you want a different figure generated I can do so. I’ve got the data loaded.

                    Go ahead. That is the actual matchup. And yes, I realize Trump is currently ahead there. Eight months away and facing 91 indictments.

            I heard the same rhetoric in 2020 and 2022… Besides, the campaign season hasn’t even started and Biden is out-raising Trump already.

            Since you raised attitude, the problem with your attitude is that you’ve got no alternative substantive solution. You can throw peanuts from the peanut gallery all you want, but until you offer up a better solution that is consistent with reality, then people will not take you seriously. Sorry, there is no magical Obama waiting to save us. Joe Biden is what we’ve got, and at least he’s got incumbent advantage.

        You mean like Monday when he was on Seth Meyers and showed he was actually pretty mentally sharp?

        I don’t love Biden. I wouldn’t have voted for him if he wasn’t the front runner last time, and he’s clearly too old, but he at least sounded competent. And was coming with stuff off-the-cuff pretty quickly. To be honest, it surprised me.
