Reminder for people who seem to be convinced that a deficit barely outside the margin of error in July is insurmountable

it’s less the current polling and more the “candidate cannot complete a sentence, let alone make an argument about why to elect him” everyone supporting JB before Thursday despite the polls assumed he would be able to campaign and grow his support the debate showed that’s a not a fair assumption

Here's a thread with the president's post debate appearances. You're entitled to your own opinion, but it seems rash to say this if you've not at least looked at what's happened since then.

It's not just the controlled, teleprompter events since the debates, it's his degrading performance since '20.

You mean the performance where he's presided over the most pro-labor and progressive administration in modern history? Wild.

This actually undermines your argument. Biden has had a good administration. Voters are rejecting him despite that, and their main reason is his age, not his administration’s policies. Further evidenced by the fact he’s running behind fellow members of his own party as well as the open fascists.

The reason is because the media is shouting "Biden is old" from the rooftops, probably because their corporate masters are finally being regulated/prosecuted by Biden's DOJ. We're in the middle of a right-wing propaganda spree, and you're trying to pretend like Biden's admin actions don't count.

1.) “the media” is a meaningless boogeyman. Newspapers are in freefall. Cable News median viewer is 70 years old. No podcast has more than a 5% marketshare. Most of the population completely avoids political media. 2.) *voters* have been shouting “Biden is old” for longer than the media has
Avatar
1) yeah, the media is terrified of its own irrelevance and upset that Biden refuses to hand them viewers like Trump did. 2) Voters had several options, including Dean Phillips. Voters instead chose Biden.

1) pretending “the media” is a coherent monolith with a consistent agenda indicates you have no idea what decade you are living in 2) ask those same voters who they would’ve voted for if they knew JB wouldn’t be able to complete a sentence during a debate that his own campaign orchestrated

1) they are private companies that are kept alive by ad sales, which require views and clicks. There's no conspiracy needed, Trump is controversy, and while he was in office, media viewership soared. After Biden came into office, it plummeted. Simple as.

That is only true of like cable news and legacy newspapers. So it just confirms you are pretending to live in a different decade Most people interact with media via tiktok influencers, independent podcasters, subreddits, micro-blogging platforms, discord communities, whatsapp group chats, etc

The outlets calling for Biden to resign/step aside are literally those who were affected by the readership/viewership drop once Biden was elected lmao what are you talking about? TikTok influencers, notoriously free from right-wing propaganda /s

Hey buddy idk what to say if you think that legacy newspapers and cable news are going to have a larger effect on the election outcome than tiktok. WaPo has lost *50%* of its unique visitors since 2020. The median MSNBC viewer is *72 years old*.

And they are incandescent at Biden refusing to engage them. They are also the primary drivers of the "Biden should resign/step aside" discourse.
Avatar
*candidate refuses to engage with friendly outlets* (relative to right wing media) would actually be another indication of his declining fitness. But that’s not really the point, any “discourse” driven by CNN or NYT is fundamentally irrelevant, as their plummeting viewership and readership shows
Avatar
But you just repeatedly stated that these outlets are irrelevant, now Biden needs to be engaging them? Make up your mind! Meanwhile, the donors themselves are mostly annoyed about...not getting big boy birthday calls? Are these really the people you choose to align yourselves with?
Avatar
I align myself with whoever has the best chance of beating the fascists this November Until that debate, I assumed it was JB Now I think Kamala would probably do a better job She looks alive & I doubt she would willingly segue into immigrant murder from a softball Q about abortion It’s a low bar

There's nothing they can challenge if she is nominated at the convention. It's not a ratfuck, our president just became impaired, and some people are in the denial stage. But you should realize that if the Heritage Foundation would go to court to stop her running...that's because she's better.

Or there’s more to a plan they’ve been working on for a while and this was always how it was going to start. They’re sewing chaos.
