He turned an easy gimmie question on abortion into something nonsensical about immigration and where the moderators finally cut him off.
It was brutal to watch. I will vote for Biden's corpse if I have to and deal with Harris's presidency for four years but Democrats should strongly consider nominating someone else because we may lose again.
Truth, Biden was a train wreck, but at least he surrounds himself with smart people and listens to them. Trump stood up there for 2 hours and told insane nonsensical lies all over the place. He then made fun of Biden for not firing those who don’t agree with everything he says. I really hope Biden steps down from the election. No one would blame him. His health isn’t great and his son is in trouble. It’s time to retire and spend time with his family.
I keep imagining him at night in bed just crying, wanting to get out so bad, hurting all over and exhausted, confused etc and all the pressure from half the country to keep going. I feel bad for him, but he did choose to be a politician and he did choose to run.
Yeah. He had plenty of time to help find some actual good candidates during the past four years, and build them up publicly. He didn't do anything, and so here we are.
I dont think he really has a choice, the DNC probably figured he would do better than other candidates, the incumbent president usually does quite well, and pressured him to run
I'm glad I'm not alone. But people are slowly starting to realize that the 2 party system is flawed. It can't be repaired because it's working exactly as intended. It needs to be scraped.
I don't think we should have any political parties.
Personally I think we should just let everyone run. Person with the most votes in that state win, person with the most electoral votes is president.
But it would take a lot of voting reform. Maily the minimum number of electoral votes to win, but again it's designed this way to prevent a 3rd or even 10th party.
Though it would make it a hell of a lot harder for our Oligarchs to know who to back. And that is a massive issue we just accept. Everyone talks about it so we don't ignore it we just accept it.
The biggest problem is that it takes an ungodly amount of money to run. Even for smaller local offices you need thousands and thousands to run a campaign. The only way to get that money is to be wealthy or make promises.
From what I understand, a big reason he's running currently is because Trump is running. If Trump wasn't running, Biden probably wouldn't be either. At least that's the impression I got from this article.
Seriously, we already have a minimum age requirement for presidency, there should be a maximum age limit too. I don't think either of our current choices should be running. I also think the presidential debates should be open to all of the political parties, not just the Democrats and Republicans. Maybe if other parties were allowed to debate, more people would be aware that there are other options, and we'd have a shot of getting someone more middle of the road instead of being stuck with one of two extremes.
