Thanks liberals for 4 years of gas lightning me that Biden didn’t have a problem and that I was helping Trump by pointing out the emperor with no clothes.
Now they’re panicking well blow me.
All the people who endlessly posted “It’s just a stutter” should never be allowed to voice an opinion on anything ever again.
It’s 7 A.M on the west coast and people are waking up after that farce of a debate.
Acting like someone has to be Russian for pointing out the obvious elder abuse is just pathetic at this point.
EDIT: sorry, didn’t notice where this was posted.
I can guarantee you that user is saying that sarcastically lol. “Moscow time” and people on the left being “Russian bots” were so ridiculously overused by liberals from 2016-now that they’ve turned into jokes here on hexbear. We used to have a clock on the homepage with the current time in Moscow.
The guy’s 81 and there are at this point, tons of clips of him looking like his brain is melting. We’ve had at least two I can think of in just the last couple weeks, and that’s excluding the debate lmao
It takes a special kind of stupid to not realize, or at least potentially believe, that Biden’s public appearances were being heavily limited because he’s sundowning
Then again, the sort of people who argued he was fine are the sort of people who have 500 funko pops and listen to Rachel Maddow every day
They’re still saying it over on .world.
Voting for Biden is not voting for the man, it’s voting for an ideology, for hope, for a future less grim. Vote for Biden.
Voting for Joe Biden is not voting for Joe Biden
I suppose they have a point though, as cooked as he is voting for Joe likely means voting for his staffers lmao
Still see people making this argument on the .ml news thread about the debate lmao. These people are delusional
It’s very sad when a liberal is briefly forced to confront reality. Nothing in their experience has equipped them for it and they have no natural defenses
I was listening to MSNBC this morning and it looks like theres an even split around “Biden needs to do a bunch of public appearances to reassure people” and “we will need to watch the polls over the next 3 days but if he craters or starts to drag other candidates it will be time for him to go”
Pull the ripcord folks he’s not getting better, this wasn’t an anomaly, embrace reality
They are just going to gaslight us again saying people are “being performative to pollsters”
Anyone listening to DNC are codependent at this point. I already see their bullshit responses a mile away.
They’re trying damn hard to spin it that’s for sure. It’s not getting better though, and what do you do if he drops another one of these “performances,” which he will. I think there is a lot of internal discussion about the best way forward not just in the dnc but probably in the white house
I don’t see donations coming in, and I see Trump getting a good sized cash injection after this debate. Trump already has caught up with him on cash and he has to get on the campaign trail to help his odds when I wouldn’t even give him the keys to the car if he was my dad.
The Dems choices are to drop Biden or prepare for a party civil war.
Biden must swim the Potomac to prove he’s still got juice
Reddit libs blaming cnn is pathetic even for them.
“They just let him lie constantly.”
ITS A FUCKING DEBATE, IF YOUR OPPONENT WAS LYING HIS ASS OFF ALL NIGHT CALL HIM OUT, THAT SHOUKD BE A HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR YOU.
CNN ISNT GOING TO BEAT TRUMP FOR YOU, COMEY ISNT GOING TO BEAT TRUMP FOR YOU, MEULLER ISNT GOING TO BEAT TRUMP FOR YOU.
YOURE THE ONE FUCKING RUNNING AGAINST HIM, YOU NEED TO FUCKING OPPOSE HIM, NOT BLAME THE PEOPLE HOLDING A DEBATE FOR NOT CAMPAIGNING FOR YOU.
Biden did call him out, repeatedly but the format would’ve been fucked for that with a competent person in his seat. 2 minutes of nonstop gish gallopping bullshit cannot be refuted in a 1 minute response. the moderators never tried to force trump to stay on topic, or to actually answer the questions. they did this because they want him to come back so they can get money on the next debate, it’s also why there was no public audience
we should be able to step back from the horserace and say “it’s bad to let a man spout genocidal lies on TV for an hour” and journalists should have a responsibility to challenge that, regardless of how ‘partisan’ that would be in the context of the competition. CNN does not have journalists, of course, just craven little eichmanns and goebbels
Biden agreed to the format and the setting and the moderators. He also spoke so softly and it was clear he’s not all there. CNN are craven ghouls but everyone who isn’t lying to themselves knew that a long time ago. This is on biden and this team
Of course CNN took advantage of the easy ratings. Of course they platformed the fascist in order to stay relevant.
When I leave a burrito on the coffee table I don’t get mad at my dog for trying to take it. I blame myself for leaving it within easy reach.
This entire debate was a Biden self-own before he opened his mouth. If he had the rhetorical skill of someone like Obama he might have been able to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. But, he doesn’t, and he didn’t.
This feels like 2016 all over again, we’re going to end up with Trump because the Democrats are being led by someone whose own hubris will destroy them.
I don’t think anyone has anything in defense of Biden here.
To @Dolores@hexbear.net’s point, though, CNN embarrassed itself, too. They are both deserving of criticism.
You don’t have to go point by points just regularly say “everything he just said is horseshit” and get back on message. Satisfies people who give a shit about lying without falling unto the trap of wasting your time trying to catch him in a lie when his supporters obviously don’t care.
Also Biden “calling him out” would be a lot more effective if it wasn’t him going “listen man… i… what he just said… look… when you look at the records… I know… uhhhh. That’s my time.”
