Trust me. Swapping out security details like that is enough. More than enough.

You swap out a single driver unexpectedly, and most these paranoid wankers notice. They’d freak out. You remove every one they’re used to?

Oh they’d be screaming bloody murder before they ever got on the car.

The point is to retain the prima facie moral high ground while making the point…

You apparently don’t understand the difference between being a dictator and actually getting off your ass to stir up support for something.

stop acting like biden is powerless because one body of congress is in republican hands. biden is not powerless. If Biden is so powerless to get shit done in congress, how is it he claims credit for the American Recovery Act and the other big ones early term? that’s right. He did some lifting for it. (he was, however, far from the only person, and a lot of people did a lot of heavy lifting to get that done.)

for the record, I think I must have replied to the wrong thing in my notifications. deleted my comment. (however, I do stand by my criticism of Biden. AoC on the other hand would be freaking phenomenal.)

(by the way. not a fucking bot. might want to hone that paranoia of yours.)

get some extra fuse so you can light it and walk away before it does it’s thing.

then make sure your face isn’t on any cameras with the firecrackers out.

firstly, I’m not a bot.

Secondly, what I really want is to stop the slow slid into Fascism. Biden is, in my opinion, demonstrably incapable or unwilling of doing that. You’re welcome to share your opinions, and we can have a discussion about it. Though, also in my opinion, you don’t like hearing alternative viewpoints, considering the name calling and accusations.

EDIT: Third, I already have. the argument goes no where. Before the primary it was “Save it for the primary,” during the primary it was “Don’t undermine the incumbent, you idiot”, in now its “name your candidate”. in 2019 it was “learn to compromise”. I’m not interestedin the argument because you- or people like you- are unwilling to listen. Biden is problematic. but you’re not going to be able to shore up his election campaign by digging your head in the sand.

Other “missteps”? Gaza and Immigration feature prominently, too.

(That’s the electrified one, right?)

yup.

I don’t believe undecided voters even exist. Like. No. Seriously.

This is the most polarized election in US history. we know both the candidates, we know how they did during their tenure as president. we’ve all got our opinion on it. The only question is, really, “how many voters are going to show up”- and more specifically, “which side loses the most voters?”

Honestly, there was never a positive upside for the debate. It’s just an opportunity to give them more soundbites or images of biden looking… well, old. (and give trump a bunch of one-line zingers. his base doesn’t care about the truth, just that he ‘owns the libs’)

the third rail, maybe?

I’m not the one waiving a magic wand thinking Biden is a perfect candidate.

You are.

As I’ve said elsewhere, baring Biden himself stepping down it’s suicide for any one to oppose him. So no I’m not going to enter that fucking argument with someone who can’t even see what’s clearly before them.

Especially considering I’m guessing you give credit for the American recovery act to Biden even as you’d scramble to insist Biden doesn’t have the power to pass law.

So, not codifying RvW as promised, not protecting voter rights, not protecting civil liberties…

… those aren’t missteps?

and they still got the deal they wanted in the end

Is it in the fucking contract? no? Then they got jack shit.

They wouldn’t even need to actually abuse power at all.

Just order the secret service to take over their personal security details, and attach members of the seal teams to each detail…. “As advisors”.

It would be an implicit threat, sure, but also, a totally legal one, and they could hardly argue that “ensuring their safety and wellbeing” is not an official act,

They’re talking about as the nominee.

the only way another candidate can be successful is if Biden himself drops out and endorses (and indeed continues to campaign for) them.

But Biden’s ego won’t allow that, so the party’s choices are either to forcibly remove him and split the vote or take the flaming, burning ship down into the ocean.

hope people can swim.

The Turdlings called. They said we can keep their village idiot.

Bullshit.

The primary process is so heavily fucked between superdelegates, and games played by the DNC that it’s pointless to even try.

Or did you forget it was the superdelegates that fucked Bernie in the early primary, as well as all the other games like removing his access to voter roles for a bug that was reported by his staff,

As well as the first few states generally dictate the course of the primary.

You’d have a point if a) every state primaries on the same day, b) superdelegates didn’t exist, and c) the DNC abided by its own rules.

Probably about 60%

The next question is how many are republicans?

He should keep it to what he’s good at- retail politics in town halls.

Meet people face to face.

The problem, and the reason they’re not is the people who’ll show up are angry over supporting genocide. Awkward.

What you have is a person who stated lies as fact and did a decent job of being convincing and a person who was generally truthful but seemed like he “wasn’t all there.” Undecided voters who “don’t follow politics” are going to see this and say “You know, I think I understand why people support Trump.” That’s a very scary prospect.

to be fair to Biden, he wasn’t all there. I mean, he had a cold, and if that doesn’t fog things up, the medications would.

But, I feel like somebody on his Campaign programing team should have pointed out that if the win-conditions for a successful debate is literally staying alive (see John Olliver rant,) that there wasn’t really much to be gained by it in the first place. it’s not like we don’t know their positions. we’ve already had 4 years of these guys. (well, 3.5 for biden. close enough for politics.)

Ted Cruz’s full name is Rafael Edward Cruz and he’s different from people.

he’s a reptillian in a skin suit. so he’s basically different from humans. altogether.
