I'm watching A(ustralian)BC coverage of it and there's a vibe of "he's actually going to lose to Trump." He's failed to pass the bar of "looking functional" and has actually managed to look bad vs a guy who literally just made shit up and started rambling about golf.
Incredible reality TV.
-
They're only 3 years apart but it looks more like 20 on stage. Biden is the perfect foil to make a senile Trump look full of youthful vitality. Literally could not have chosen a worse opponent from the entire gallery of DNC ghouls to face him. Wait, I take that back. Hillary would still be worse.
-
TV reality
-
-
Yeah I genuinely think it is Joever for him after tonight, I've never watched a debate where all the immediate post-debate coverage chyrons are like "Should Incumbent drop out??" LMAO
-
I watched most of it, I was honestly worried I was about to see a stroke live. Obviously Trump is a shitbag but I agreed with him in several instances versus what Joe said. Of the few coherent-ish responses Biden literally said our only "sacred duty" is to arm our troops and give them a good retirement. This is what I'm supposed to vote for??
-
when he walked on stage, his left eyelid and eyebrow were drooping and my immediate reaction was "he's having a stroke live?" never really got away from that impression. wonder which ghoul decided possible brain damage was less important than the debate because lmao.

-
me putting on the conspiracy theory hat and wildly gesturing like a crank
What if the DNC purposely never wanted Biden but waited until after it was too late for primaries so they can handpick the actual candidate they want at the DNC convention and purposely pushed him to have a debate with Trump knowing that Biden would eat shit?
-
It's fucking happening.
-
Jesus fucking christ I've never seen a picture of the man before. He looks like Satan would look in a hollywood drama.
-
I thought the Dems had fucked themselves by backing genocide Joe but newsome is the one Democratic politician that could actually win. Does it change anything for me. Not really. I'm just here for the show
-
His recent meeting with Xi makes me think he might not be as hostile towards China as the other two have been but that’s more likely wishful thinking
-
Looking forward to half of Hexbear arguing we should vote for Gavin in order to do "Harm Reduction" just like they did last election for Joe.
-
-
The lanyard nerds would absolutely prefer this outcome (particularly if they're mad at Biden screeching YOU WERENT ELECTED at them when they bring up reality) far more than the possibility of a real primary and having to pull another hoodwink on bernie's old ass a third time
-
This is how Bernie can still win. His good friend Biden will hand pick him as his successor ::: spoiler spoiler but then he'll lose becsuse none of us will vote for him after he hitched himself to Genocide Joe :::
-
I have been saying it
-
-
I’m honestly shocked they’re admitting how bad he was, I was expecting them to do some shit like say that he’s normally cognizant and just forgot to have a balanced breakfast this morning
-
smh these posers simply believe their lying eyes, biden is doing great
-
theyre doing both
-
-
It's her turn
-
Get in line
-
It's pretty hilarious that Kamala's not even in the discussion for the dem nominee, considering she's VP and all.
-
-
The political history nerd in me is honestly finding this really fascinating to be witnessing right now. Seeing liberal pundits saying that Biden needs to step down before the convention, reading all of the articles about it, etc. This might be one of those things that gets talked about in Presidential history 50 years from now, how abysmal Joe Biden was as a president and how his own party could no longer deny how unfit he was to remain as president (4 months before the election lmao).
-
Kamala was live on CNN about 30 minutes ago with Anderson Cooper. She was trying to save face and Anderson Cooper interrupted her. Anderson told Kamala that Biden's performance at the debate was a disaster and a train wreck.
I'm honestly surprised to see that CNN is negatively covering Biden.
-
Well, they want Democrats to win, and clearly it's not going to happen with genocide Joe.
-
If only someone had told them earlier!
-
-
- and when the world needed him most, he disappeared
-
He has given us a gift more precious than gold. He has taught us wisdom. Now we must take up his sword from where it fell and march boldly forward.
-
He is blurry only because his return remains below the horizon. Soon, our large son will return
-
Goddamnit that hurts
-
-
-
There's video of Jill Biden talking to him like a dog saying like "Who did good and answered all those questions tonight?"
It's so bad, folks. I hate the man, but this is so depressing. It's straight up elder abuse.
-
Really weird feeling because if he was almost any other human on the planet I'd feel so bad for him. Like my heart would break. It must be a terrifying disorienting tragic experience.
He deserves worse though
-
I just saw a clip of Biden that someone posted in another thread, and it honestly REALLY hit me. Listening to him flounder and trail off mid sentence reminded me of my dad, who is just a few years younger than Biden.
Except like my dad just wants to chill and read books all day, not enfornce neoliberal hegemony worldwide.
-
I feel sad in that in another world he could have just been some senile grandpa being cared for by his children. Instead he chose a path that led to this.
-
-
He’s been a lifelong cog in the imperialist machine, I say abuse the man
-
-
Watching some people I know have live meltdowns as they were confronted with the reality of this living corpse as their nominee has been fucking hilarious
Watching them consider if RFK should take over was even funnier
-
Please, please tell more
-
At least two admitting to crying watching Biden's performance. So many talking about needing to get drunk or high to the cope with the outcome of the debate
Most of them are starting to realize that Biden is old and not firing on all cylinders, and that the Democrats are in deep, deep trouble with the election if their candidate can barely sound coherent during the debates. One person quietly said that Biden was making Trump look sane by comparison
Then the debates as to who could even replace him began. AOC? Too young. Bernie? Too radical. Clinton no because the GOP hate her. Harris? Maybe that's why she's been out of the spotlight, so she can take over without any scandals. Newsom wasn't even floated but RFK was
-
-
-
I was pessimistic about the debate, but it was a fair deal funnier than I expected. I think Biden said something about cutting a black child in half.
-
It's a quote gold mine, the memes are going to be
for weeks.-
theres so much we don't even know where to start, the world is overloaded with the potential
-
-
YOU ARE A BAD PALESTINIAN!
-
-
Knowing the DNC, they’d want a candidate to the right of Biden. It’s
time. -
They were never planning on running Biden in November. If they did joebiden.com would have said what his platform is, and it does not, even now. Gavin Newsom's nomination is imminent, right?
Edit: They actually added the Issues tab today, there is an archive of the site from today without it.
Maybe they can reuse it-
Four years. Four years to pretend to have a clear platform. I'm tired of people blaming leftists when the president couldn't do a basic homework assignment until he fucked up a debate.
-
america is free
all is right in the world
-
-
It’s amazing to me that democrats can watch a genocide for nine months, and do nothing but make excuses, but one debate with grandpa has them freaking out. I didn’t even watch the debate. Anyone invested in that guy before the debate was just as cooked as he is. I just caught a few clips and spent a few minutes laughing through hexbear’s reactions, as is proper.
-
It was so bad. I haven't been paying close attention but biden is being elder abused. He looked scared for a lot of the debate. He def deserves it but idk I can't stomach seeing someone hurt.
-
Elder abuse can go both ways when you have dementia. Everyone says he routinely yells at people and is looking for yes men to fill the vacancies. Biden’s been an asshole his entire life, the mental decline just removes the filter.
-
It feels like yesterday that I was watching him run circles around Sarah Palin in their debate. Mortality is scary.
-
I found myself feeling the same. I fucking hate Biden but I could barely stomach all the bullshit that came out yesterday. The man is old as fuck, he deserves to be chillin’ enjoying his last days. Not being propped up by a machine to continue their bidding under the guise of ‘the better option’.
-
-
libs are still terrible people and would only ever support Palestinians if it benefited them
-
-
-
it angers me just to even see this in jest because i unironically think if they threw bernie in thered be little to no issue him winning even with his shit waffling stance on israeli genocide
the people who dont pay attention but vote in just presidential elections are begging for anyone but these two and bernie at least has recognition

It’s so weird how literally nothing changed we learned nothing new but tons of libs coming out of the woodwork for no Biden now. Winds of change are here but obviously nothing good will happen

r/neolib posted this
It's Joever

They were just looking for an excuse to drop the facade probably
-
I was watching with a friend who is pretty left but has a US flag hanging in his house and dank brandon meme coffee cups, before the debate he had an attitude like "oh man Trump is about to get smoked". Ten minutes in he's like "what the fuck is happening" and couldn't finish it, immediately afterwards he's talking about other candidates that they should put forward. It's going to be embarrassing to support Biden at this point even among the libs.
-
-
-
Now I subjected myself to some reaction from "professional" analyst, I kinda think that this was a hitjob and a coup.
Usually, the first "hot" take by analyst on the network hosting the debate is the most important. John King of CNN, right after the debate ends immediately goes on "panic among Democratic party." Then everyone on the panel, Van Jones, David Axelrod, Alyssa Griffin, all took turn burying the shiv, with nothing positive to say. These people are not that brave, and they have been gaslighting people for 6 years (ever since Biden started running in '18 he's been mentally compromised). Same with MSNBC, Rachel Maddow asked Alex Wagner and she immediately also said that the reaction was negative. Joy Ann Reid piled on and said Joe Biden don't have the stamina. The replacement headline then immediately made it to NYT front page, opinion piece, and now repeated by all major outlets. These people didn't went through the denial, anger, bargaining stage, they all within 1 1/2 hr debate go to acceptance in unison.
-
Nah they’re just hacks, they’re like a herd of deer, one gets spooked and starts running the rest will follow. Unfortunately for Biden that means his campaign is gonna be in cascade failure mode now
-
Was it that bad? I don't want to watch that mind melting bullshit.

We'd be able to help make sure that all of things we need to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person uh eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh with, with, with the COVID, excuse me, with, um dealing with everything we have to do with uh what if we finally beat Medicare?

Summary of the average democrat's evening:
-
my mom's friend was coping pretty hard
her husband was going "poor joe, he means well but he's gotten so old, he was so much better at the state of the union :(" and she starts raising her voice at him, "his voice is just coarse and he has a stutter! he's not perfect but everything he's saying is the TRUTH, you just aren't LISTENING to him!!"

I wonder how the Europeans are doing? They sacrificed their economy for this guy and the other guy was talking about dismantling NATO during his presidency. I'm sure they're all feeling wonderful in their decisions.
-
They own shares in american companies and LNG importers. They dining tonight regardless.
Oh you mean the taxed populations. Lol. Lmao.
-
Europeans feel superior to the American people who they consider to be uncultured swine with nothing but guns and cheeseburgers on their mind. Europeans also feel houndishly loyal to the American state, as they give it sole credit for saving them from the horrors of Nazism and communism. Received wisdom in Europe is that America is the benevolent big brother who keeps us safe from the "jungle" with their bloated military and that any break with America would be the recipe for disaster and Russian/Chinese invasion of ever inch of land from Portugal to Svalbard.
Trump represented a big ideological problem for Europeans as he was the leader of the American while also being placed solidly in the "average American idiot" category by his theatrics. Other presidents acted the part, not confusing the Europeans. Even the visibly demented Biden has been able to project sufficient "professional elite" vibes for Europeans to accept him. Maybe this will change now the powers that be has decided that Biden's dementia is an acceptable topic of conversation.
-
uncultured swine with nothing but guns and cheeseburgers on their mind.
Well they're not WRONG

American people who they consider to be uncultured swine with nothing but guns and cheeseburgers on their mind.

"we need to be more like the USA" seems to be the general takeaway by Danish politicians. We've just had inheritance taxes lowered to 10%

Do you think he'd dismantle NATO to make SEATO 2.0 against china?

Democrats in charge don't want to win, they're not replacing him. They don't want to give concessions to anyone, best way to avoid accountability is to lose

Well, this is hilarious. Neo-liberal propagandists and paid shills all over the Internet are literally panicking right now. And, yeah, the ultra-corrupt "Democratic" Party political machine trying to force us all to vote for a clearly senile old war criminal was obviously a lousy idea on their part.
Jill Stein and Cornel West need to ramp up their presidential campaigns. This year should be great for left-wing opposition candidates! :-)

by great year i suppose you mean losing, since losing is good somehow
-
-
BetOnline is currently showing Biden at +300 to win, and Newsom at +700. That seems like an awfully small spread when one person is the presumptive democratic nominee and the other is not
-
Yeah PredictIt had Biden at $0.48/share for a 'Yes' share on Biden winning the election at 9pm, which has since dropped to $0.33/share and Newsom has risen from $0.05/share to $0.20/share in the same amount of time lmfao
-
-
This late game swapping horses will also add legitimacy to trump’s argument to delegitimize the election should he lose in November so it’s fucking win win for him. fucking liberals fumbling the bag as usual. This feels like October 2020 when the emails came up again but it’s fucking July! Glad liberals are malding RN free Palestine

I mean they're all democrats. Literally none of them are good

lol they're not going to replace him

Nah but its wild to see the media actually recognize reality for a second and try to grapple with it.
-
Likely no but keep an eye on this for the next day. If it fizzles out it will fizzle out like tomorrow morning. I'm gonna find out what Morning Joe says, its Biden's fox & friends.
It's in the realm of like a 1/20 likelihood but god it would be good

Most of those ghouls are old enough to remember Carter in 80. They are probably thinking about that right now.

DNC leadership too ossified to replace him - then he dies right before the election

Perusing through r/politics on

We feast!

By tomorrow how many articles like these will have been published?
This debate was a disastrous opening performance for Biden | Moira Donegan | The Guardian
It is vital to America that Democrats beat Trump. In the first presidential debate, Biden did not always seem like someone who can.

It was a disastrous opening performance for a president whose greatest electoral vulnerability is his age
Not the genocide? Liberal detected ಠ_ಠ
-
There are a lot of voters who can't find Palestine on a map, but pretty much everyone can recognize old and rambling.
Just being able to spell "genocide" and recognize that it's not the new wings-and-mozzerella appetizer at Geno's Pizza puts a voter well into the 70th percentile of American political discourse.
-
While I think the issue of Gaza and Biden supporting genocide goes beyond poll numbers, the reality is that polls show Gaza is way down the list of voter concerns, even for young voters.
Death to America.

A Bluesky post subheader is: "He must withdraw from the race."
President Biden, I’ve Seen Enough
By Nicholas Kristof
President Biden is a good man who capped a long career in public service with a successful presidential term. But I hope he reviews his debate performance Thursday evening and withdraws from the race, throwing the choice of a Democratic nominee to the convention in August.
One of the perils facing this country, I believe and Biden believes, is the risk of a victory by Donald Trump. And after the debate, it’s hard to avoid the feeling that Biden remaining in the race increases the likelihood that Trump will move into the White House in January.
Biden has never been a great debater, but his voice and manner didn’t put to rest the doubts about his age and effectiveness. Rather, he amplified them. I happened to chat today with a woman who is undecided about whom to vote for — she says she distrusts both Trump and Biden but will choose based on who will do better for the economy — and I bet that now she will be supporting Trump.
In some sense, this may be unfair. This was one debate. A candidate’s physical frailty, hoarse voice and rambling responses may not be good predictors of how that person will govern. But in this election, they probably are good predictors that the candidate will lose in November and not have a chance to govern again.
We see the world through narratives, and one of the narratives about Biden is that he is too old. His performance reinforced that narrative when he needed to shatter it. Biden, unable to puncture Trump’s repeated falsehoods, allowed a convicted felon to win the debate.
Biden can resolve this by withdrawing from the race. There isn’t time to hold new primaries, but he could throw the choice of a successor to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The Democratic Party has some prominent figures who I think would be in a good position to defeat Trump in November, among them Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Gina Raimondo, the secretary of commerce. And there are many others.
My phone has been blowing up with texts from people saying, as one put it: “Dear God. What are we going to do?” Another, also a fan of Biden, texted: “It’s imperative we change horses.” But Democrats have been reluctant to say this out loud and undermine Biden. So it will be up to Joe and Jill Biden to make this choice themselves.
This will be a wrenching choice. But, Mr. President, one way you can serve your country in 2024 is by announcing your retirement and calling on delegates to replace you, for that is the safest course for our nation.

He has murdered, imprisoned, and destroyed an incomprehensible number of people during his long career and is personally responsible for about half of the major crises facing the US right now.

model US president tbh

That is the ultimate metric of success for US leaders

When the call is coming from inside the house, you know you're cooked.

You can alienate millions of people and ruin the lives of billions around the world, but you can't lose the donors. No campaign can survive it.

They can whatever the fuck they want because they're not beholden to the people.

My dear dnc shenanigans comrades in arms, i have come to announce: we got him.
-
We did it! We destroyed the republican party and upended the DNC! Tankies win again!
-
-
Can anyone find the clip where Biden is incoherently rambling, stumbling over his words, forgets what he's saying, and after the moderator cuts him off with, "Thank you President Biden," he goes, "And by the way!......" and just stares into space for several seconds? That was one of the funniest (and saddest) things I've ever seen during a debate.
-
This is how Bernie can still win
-
Lmao yeah he got fucking bodied
-
-
Joe should have saved up all that energy he wasted regurgitating hasbara talking points
-
:biden-joker:

He's gonna sniff your grandkids through the screen

as i said in chat earlier:
COOKED COOKED COOKED COOKED COOKED COOKED COOKED COOKED bed squeak sample

Like witnessing an anomoly in The Zone.
And always rememeber to - bzzrrt -If Trump is such an existential threat to democracy then why are they running an 80 year old man? - bzzrrt - no matter who.
-
And now they've wasted so much time because they were so sure everyone was wrong.
-
"The Emperor has no clothes" is terrifyingly literal.
-
-
He's not going anywhere. It's too late in the game, and libs are too cowardly/petrified of
to try to force Biden out.As long as he's breathing (And maybe even then...), he's running.
-
Literally the president right now
-
Golly gee willikers batman!

Anyone got a highlight reel?

Anyone have some links to clips of these Biden Senior Moments™️? I don’t have Twitter anymore and didn’t see the debate

Trumps zinger is fucking great. "He did beat Medicare, he beat it to death"
His moistness still got some of the juice left -
Hard to watch.

CNN short of the softball they threw Joe about Jan 6th. Should have been an easy home run. Instead Joe fumbles it misremembering the minutiae while Trump uses it to pivot to this strengths and defend his base: CNN YouTube Short
-
It was an entire hour and a half of them.
-
-
It's her turn. I'm still in line
-
Please no, they hitched themselves to him and supported genocide to boost his ratings, they can't just jettison him now that they've finally realized he's ballast. They have to go down with him.
-
Biden's performance was so khallas that I actually got cold feet and consider the possibility of actually voting for him (I live in a blue state where my vote doesn't matter anyway). Things are so dire, and dumbass dem libs caused this mess.
-
With hillary. Its her turn.
-
Newsom promised he wouldn't run against Biden, but never said anything about replacing him if he is forced to withdraw and/or removed from office by the 25th amendment.
Listening to a bit of media today it sounds like he is now the leading choice among the talkinghead set.
I wonder what it cost in dollars (not to mention human-hours) to run that likely-about-to-be-ignored primary pretend election 👀

They lied, browbeat, deflected, slandered, gaslit, and treated with the most sickening condescension everyone who warned them over and over that this would happen. If it weren't for the genocide, this would the purest and most concentrated schadenfreude I've ever felt, cocaine-like in it's tangibility. Now begins I Fucking Told You So Season.
Fuck liberals, they tried to get us to "tactically" support ethnic cleansing to win a fucking election, and they're gonna lose that too! Good going you bloodless sensless freaks, you put on the armband and seig heil'd in front of the whole world for nothing!
They went fully mask off. It doesn't matter, it won't change anything, but they went completely, utterly mask off for this decaying piece of shit. They sold their souls for a Joseph fucking Biden.
Scratch a liberal...
The great satan has been ruining everything for everyone everywhere for a lot longer than Trump's been a politician, lib.
Silence, genocide lover.
There's no difference between trump and biden except for Trump being more crass. I'm sure the children in cages are glad it's a democrat doing it.
Also incredibly funny to write this while children are being jailed for exercising their right to protest. "You guise this is what will happen in trumps America" I snivel as one of Joe Bidens cops beats the shit out of me for daring to protest the construction of a literal cop city.
hey look, i made your post relevant to right now
I was passed out drunk when you post this and I'm not gonna bother checking the modlog
Eat shit and die you deranged little freak
