    Because he is clearly fading and we don’t know how bad it will get before November.

    I mean, I’m locked in to vote D regardless, but I’m not super excited about Joe’s prospects at the moment.

    We saw with Feinstein, the Democrats are a gerontocracy that would make the CCP circa 1985 proud.

    They want him out because they’re scared and know he will win in a landslide. Their only shot is to create confusion and make it sound like Biden is worse than the racist rapist with 34 felonies that wants to become dictator. VOTE. Volunteer to help give rides to people that need them to make it to vote.

    look at his past accomplishments not the possibility he’ll be another Reagan or dianne feinstein before his term ends

    it’ll be a coup if people acknowledge he’s not able to mentally hold office

    Amazing how many worlds they use to say please don’t see this as it’s time to take your parents car keys or drivers license

    First of all, Trump is a dick and may he rot in hell.

    That out of the way, this is yet another article yelling at us to disbelieve our own eyes and not recognise an old man struggling. People who DON’T want Trump are watching the election toppling over the edge and are helpless to effect an outcome.

    It’s not about the pundits wanting Biden out, it’s about the pundits demanding that everything is under control when it is obvious that it isn’t.

      “Biden’s debate was due to a cold.”

      “Okay he needs more sleep, it was jet lag. It’ll go away in a few days.”

      “So several democratic members of congress, nationwide democrats, and public agreement say Biden is unfit, but just wait until the news conference, they’ll see. Biden himself wants to stay in, so we should believe him.”

      President Putin and Vice President Trump.

      “…So all the media is bought out and on the side of Trump, don’t believe anything you see by credited publications. It’s fake news, boycott them. Boycott anyone who disagrees with us.”

            You don’t know what propaganda is, or you’re using it wrong to be deliberately disingenuous.

            Reasonable people are very rightly worried that biden will lose to trump. Period. Reasonable people are mostly concerned with making sure trump loses. Period.

            Biden is the worst choice if we want to defeat trump. If he drops out there will be a wave of enthusiasm.

            People like you who are so hell bent on keeping biden, I speculate are actual trump supporters sowing discord as an attempt to stop the discussion. Maybe you are the “propagandist”.

            Biden dropping out is our best chance to defeat trump. Period. Even trump and republicans want him to stay in because they know that’s how they stand the best chance.

              Spoken like someone high on propaganda. Polling is all over the place. Unreliable. There is no one to run who will run who stands much chance against trump. Because people aren’t voting for Trump because he’s better. They’re voting for him because he’s the Republican nominee. Republicans are also experts at smearing. They and their donors control all the media. No matter who Democrats pick they will run a 24/7 campaign smearing and mudding Waters around that candidate. Even if Democrats were to pick Bernie sanders. Republicans would smear him easily.

              Realistically we’re well beyond the point of playing these games. Both in this cycle and in general. If people can’t be bothered. They will learn just how bad fascism can be for them. And how important their votes are when they can’t vote anymore.

      Imagine thinking that giving a bad speech is somehow comparable to being a rapist/felon that has promise to help Israel finish the job- even while you yell at everyone about how Biden is committing “a genocide.”

      This is what propaganda looks like folks. It’s not stupid cartoonish posters. It’s not tinny radio ads urging you to join someone’s army-

      It’s people like this…

      People that want you to believe that a bad speech performed by someone that has a history of being bad at speeches- yet ran the country for four years with a lot of major changes for the better- is somehow worse than a rapist that tried to overthrow our capital because he lost. A rapist that is also a convicted felon- 34 times over.

      THIS is propaganda by definition. It’s no myth. It’s no exaggeration. It’s this.

      And it’s pathetic.
