Honestly, that this is the headline from the meeting is kind of ridiculous.
I absolutely think Biden should step down and hand the torch to whoever is best able to make the case for their beating trump between now and the convention.
But he was always slipping up with word switches over his career.
He was actually very on top of the policy nuances in this Q&A - 1,000x better than Trump could have dreamed of being.
The one word switch in an hour of nuanced policy discussions as the headline is more a failure of the media than Biden.
Even though he def should be making way as his decline is going to get worse and more info is going to come out.
He needed a home run to have any chance of unfucking this. He’s hitting a single. He’s a detriment to the ticket from here on out, I think.
That’s not a single. He absolutely struck out.
This was surreal. To his credit he eventually got into his groove as he moved through his list of approved journalists.
He’s still going and he’s not doing great…
Like, he is saying a lot of words, and they do seek to connect with the ones right next to each other most of the time. But it almost never has anything to do with the question after the first sentence or two
I can’t tell if he’s pretending to talk to people or actually talking to people in the audience. Like I think he sees journalists making comments or reactions and addressing them.
Edit:
When asked if his delegates could vote for someone else if they don’t want him he said:
That’s the Democratic process
Then leaned in all creepy and whispered
That’s not going to happen
Edit 2:
Fucking hell…
They asked about “VP trump” at the end and said trump had already latched into it.
When asked for comment Biden said:
Listen to him
Like? Listen to trump?
Then did his best Monty Burns walk off stage.
As with everything Biden, I highly recommend everyone watch it when they can.
It went on too long, he started to lose his train of thought a few times. The end was weird too. I’m not sure “listen to him” meant what he thought it meant.
The feeding frenzy at the end definitely confirmed that questions were pre-approved and they had to stick with them.
He was hours late because he was cramming the answers for what he was knew was coming.
Nothing about this was unscripted
I don’t think he got into his groove at all. This guy is toast. And what’s with all the whispering?
At least he tried his Best!
Welp…it’s over folks. To those continually downvoting me because you can’t face facts, it’s time. As a staunch Democrat, I cannot bring myself to support that man any longer. Either find a new candidate or this will be the first presidential election I don’t vote in.
Bitch, moan, downvote all you want. I don’t care anymore.
I’d fucking vote for a corpse over fascism. It’s sad that you feel otherwise.
This is the internet. The odds of that guy actually being a staunch dem are very slim.
Yeah, elsewhere he gave “It’s a very complex issue 🥺” plea, unprompted, on whether Trump et co are fascist.
I believe you misread that or you’re a fucking liar. Either way, that’s not what I said.
He is a fucking liar, and intentionally wants to twist up the obvious context to fit his chosen narrative. In other words, a propagandist and a try-hard.
He went super fascist on me…about fascism. Fucking funny really.
Some of us live in states where our votes conveniently don’t matter. I don’t give a single fuck about performative voting. I care about winning, and Joe Biden is not going to win.
Added bonus, you get a fascist corpse
If only Democrats had listened to leftists 4 years ago, we saw all the signs then and we were told to shut the fuck up
And here come the sound bites.
This is the problem. I don’t want to excuse Biden, but even if 95% of the speech is fine, the 5% is all 99% of readers will ever see.
Apparently we didn’t watch the same speech cuz not even 5% of it was fine
This is sad.
Then he said he was going to defeat VP trump…
And.i honestly don’t know if he meant he’d beat Kamala and be the candidate in the general or if he meant he’d beat Trump in the general?
Lol, and now he’s answering the wrong question. Hahahaha
omg, this guy has to be finished. He cant even hold it together this long. wow
