@MisuseCase@uspolitics I wish someone would actually throw that Rapist Traitor under a bus! If they do, I'll be cautiously optimistic. I need weed and tequila to get me through this weekend now 😂😂
When there is an incumbent a debate is an opportunity for the country to "get to know" the challenger. When both candidates are former presidents, neither of whom have been out of the news even for a moment... what is the point?
Will we learn anything new?
I'm seeing a lot of panic and "This is bad for Biden" flickering by, and I'd agree ... if he wasn't someone we already knew.
Never-forget the implicit desire media has for a horse race.
@MisuseCase@futurebird
Let me first say that although #DirtyT sounded more coherent, the only thing he was coherent on is conveying his own belief that the election was stolen. If Biden was your feeble grandpa, Trump was your crazy uncle you avoid at Thanksgiving.
But people get colds during wars and disasters and other emergencies. And we need those people to be at their best at those times of crisis. This was no cold. It’s much sadder and alarming than that.
@MisuseCase@futurebird
If anyone else had been on the stage with Biden last night - all of us Americans - 100% - would acknowledge the obvious fact that Biden is not well.
I’m going to vote for him. But too many people for too long who should know better have been promoting a story that just doesn’t appear to be true. And last night was embarrassing for us as a nation but especially for the Democratic Party.
Because ultimately we’re not going to decide the race. We’ll vote the way we vote.
Biden needs to urgently be replaced. Else, we’re going to lose. You want to believe it’s because Biden “had a cold”? That’s fine. I have no issue with that.
There are millions of Americans who were shellshocked by what they saw last night. It wasn’t just that Biden was off. He looked and sounded like he had dementia. The genie is out of the bottle. It’s not going back in.
@MisuseCase@rob
No, I was yelling about replacing him for three years and about six months ago I realized it was not going to happen (I wrote letters, made calls… but I’m just a NYC school teacher who cares right?) so I have decided to accept this is what we need to do. I will do it.
Pundits tomorrow: “Sure Trump wants to become king and strip individual rights, but we need to talk about how Biden needed to clear his throat and forgot what he was saying”
"Wikipedia’s editors declared that the Anti-Defamation League cannot be trusted to give reliable information on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and they overwhelmingly said the ADL is an unreliable source on antisemitism. It’s a stunning rebuke to one of the world’s preeminent authorities on anti-Jewish hate and a significant advocate for the rights and causes of American Jews."
@wdlindsy@MisuseCase Wikipedia doesn't even go there. Their interest is building a trustworthy product built on factuality, a bit like the scientific community at its best - though, a different product. It has taken them decades to become as good as they are and build a model that resists the bad-faith actors, propagandists, agents of mendacity.
If folks like this call you unreliable, perhaps you're doing something wrong.
@martinvermeer@MisuseCase When you say, "Wikipedia doesn't even go there," I'm not really clear where "there" is. I'm not clear as to what you're saying, that is.
Since Trump and McConnell conspired and installed political stooge justices into the Supreme Court, it was obvious what was going to happen. Biden was encouraged to re balance the Court by expanding the number of Justices to counter. He could have done so and pointedly refused.
It was another huge Biden error! Electing Trump is not an option but Biden is killing us ... literally!
Mis, At the beginning of Biden's Presidency the Senate was controlled by the democrats as Sinema and Manchin were Democrats. It is Biden's fault that he refused to consider it.
It's also not saying that such a move would have been successful, but more likely!
It's not that way now. The current Senate standing is:
Mis ... Looking back is good if your not wearing the bad glasses!
Everything in DC is negotiable, to a point. Adding Justices to the Supreme Court was negotiable.
Why? Do you remember back to the Infrastructure Bill. Manchin refuse to vote for it, until Biden gave his wife a lucrative position of Federal Co-Chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission $163K/year.
Enough already. If you think Biden is "pro-genocide" in spite of all the actions he's taken to try to rein in Israel since ~oct 12, GTFO. If your pwecious widdle conscience doesn't allow you to vote for him, you're effectively saying: Fuck women, anyone who isn't white or Xtian, the planet, & everyone else who doesn't have your privileged life. You're an ignoramus who doesn't understand the limitations of the executive branch & you're a child who thinks meals can be 100% candy.
@MisuseCase Yep.
I made a statement in my own timeline. It allowed me to gain a few new followers & mute a few people I'd rather not converse with. Mission accomplished.
@Nazani@MisuseCase I have told people this before offline, but #JoeBiden does not have to do anything for me to get my vote.
It’s not about me. It’s about preserving democracy in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸, & pushing back against authoritarianism & nationalism (both secular & religious) in #America 🇺🇸 & around the world.
If #DonaldTrump wins in November, we will ALL lose!
#JoeBiden is the only candidate who has beaten #Trump before, & #Biden can do it again if we vote!
@daniel_keough@MisuseCase@julian@appassionato@palestine are you sure it's not the other way around? Read article 7 of Hamas charter which calls to kill all jews all over the world, article 8 calls for jihad and death for sake of Allah.
