Tommy Carcetti (43,271 posts)Oh, for ****'s sake, people.I did not watch yesterday’s debate; I’m currently on vacation, have already made up my mind as to who I’m voting for, and I wanted to spend the evening enjoying vacation things.I see everyone is worked up because conventional wisdom is that President Biden had a subpar performance, and now everyone’s talking about how he’s too old and what not. Some even want him to step aside so we can exchange him for some newer, more exciting model like Gavin ****ing Newsome.This is absurd. Ridiculous. Kafkaesque.On one side you have people wanting the President to step aside because they thought he was disappointing at a debate. And if debate performances were an accurate barometer of electoral success in November, then we’d have President Gore or President Kerry or President Hillary.So to freak out now—in June—is just plain silly.On the other hand, you have a guy who not only was convicted of 34 felonies last month, but also was found liable for fraud, defamation and sexual assault. And who currently stands indicted in 3 other courts on charges ranging from election interference to knowingly withholding classified documents. And who was unprecedentedly impeached twice, with members of his own party voting for his removal. And who had an embarrassingly terrible one term track record as President and never held an average approval rating over 50% and never won a popular vote. And who was elbows deep in involvement with foreign adversaries like Vladimir Putin.Who incited a violent insurrection at the US Capitol and who not only has never once apologized for that, but now lionizes the criminal participants.And no one is calling for him to step aside. No one.No, sorry, this is all ****ing bullshit and all the Chicken Littles calling for President Biden to step aside need to calm the **** down, because President Biden does not need to step aside. And if we’re cowardly enough to insist on someone different, they’ll go after that person just as hard. Maybe not over age, but certainly something.Trumpism is a scourge on this country, this election is a referendum against it and I’d much rather go with the bird in the hand over the two in the bush.Seriously, people.Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back on vacation now.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219071782
knowingly withholding classified documents.
SLO joe is more guilty of this. He had classified documents when he was a senator and vice president that he had no right to have stored them and unsecure locations in his garage and other places where the Chinese could access them . No one brought this up.
Tommy, you're saying it wrong if you want to get through to some of your more educated lefty betters.You're supposed to say ' for ****s face...'.
The interesting point that Tommy Carcetti kind of accidentally put on the table is that while strong partisans - like DU-folk and us Cave-Dwellers - haven't really had our minds and votes changed, the ones who might have been affected by LIEden's horrible performance are the undecideds (if there are any) and people with weaker inclinations. I suspect more people of those sorts were appalled by Biden than by anything Trump did/said.
