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.
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
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.
May want to spare your energy with these guys. Trying to point out that Joe is really old and showing it (and that with all humans, this decline only gets more profound with time ) is like trying to making MAGAts see that Trump really is batshit crazy.
Oh sorry, Teleprompter Dude, I must have forgotten how that line was used by Trump against Clinton in '16, ironically as he read it from a teleprompter.
I'm not complaining about his positions and policies.
Wild that you can't see that I'm referring to his physical and mental performance, things that are obvious about elderly people.
"physical/mental performance"
Buddy, I am literally talking about his actions both personal and via his administration. If that doesn't demonstrate competence in office, what does?
Why do you want to perform a complete substitution on the executive branch that's in the middle of prosecuting corps?
Know what else would perform a complete substitution of the executive branch??
Losing the election to open fascists.
Which the Biden campaign is *obviously* on track to do, they are in worse shape of any candidate since McCain in ‘08.
We are literally statistically just as likely at this point to see Biden win by a landslide as we are to see him narrowly lose to Trump, you are basing your assumptions off of a single digit slump in polling that often happens after the first debate, like in 2012 and 2020.
