"Meanwhile, the New York Times Editorial Board did not ask Donald Trump to step down. Not after he was held liable for rape or fraud or defamation. Not after he was convicted on all 34 counts by a jury of his peers. Not even after he vomited lie after lie at the debate and refused to admit that he’d accept the results of the 2024 election."
What would the point be. With the Democrats, at least, they might pick someone better. The Republicans would probably pick someone just as bad or worse, probably one of the Gilead states governors.
@the5thColumnist I suspect the point of making these observations is not realistically to call Trump to step down, but to note to the glaring, dangerous, cynical way in which the US corporate media beat up constantly on Biden while giving convicted felon Donald Trump pass after pass.
@wdlindsy It’s practically psychotic to see what is the Republican nominee for the top leadership position in the country. I can’t believe Biden didn’t say “Why the Hell am I up here debating a felon, womanizer, rapist, swindler, unrepentant Putin lapdog?” Can you even imagine our intelligent services having to share top-secret information with Mr. The Highest Bidder Wins? Oh yeah, he’s Mr. Immune. Can’t wait to see if SCOTUS has fucked us again. 🔥😬
@Huntn00 As your second sentence implies, Biden was placed — and by his campaign's choice — in an intolerable position in a pseudo-debate with an amoral, feral liar, with no safeguards even to check the person's lies.
@wdlindsy He's not dropping because his motivation is remaining out of jail. But Biden could step down to make sure tRump indeed goes to jail. It's up to him
@wdlindsy If current polls are to be heeded, American voters have already decided that they prefer the vile man that you mention over an honorable Biden, whose falling ratings have only been lowered further by his debate performance. Then, it is only Biden who might step aside for a younger, more appealing team that would answer the myriad of lies Trump spews whenever his mouth is open. Your point re:NY Times is spot on.
