Biden is ancient and incomprehensible in half of his public appearances. Not saying Trump isn't, but his people love his crazy rambling.

It is not unreasonable for people to be disappointed. They are being forced to choose between two dementia riddled candidates. The only people who truly think Trump would be the better alternative are dumbass "centrists" and conservatives.

Yes, lesser evil voting is good, but you can't shame people for not smiling while smelling shit.

I'm not smiling. Nor was I ever happy with what's going on. Don't assume anyone is.

[–] cybersin@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ok.

You may not be, but just about every Dem in congress is.

A third of the electorate votes. Half of those are repubs. A fraction of dems campaign/protest. A fraction of them are actually in government. Dissatisfied people are not the minority.

Ok. I don't disagree with anything you said.

The Democrats in power still put forth a candidate that is very unpopular.

[–] BallotOrTheBullet@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Only because there was no movement to primary him. If some of these checked out people showed up we could have easily ousted joe.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Not just that. They've never primaried any incumbent president ever. You can blame Biden for not stepping down possibly for age and health reasons on his own. But seeing as they're likely wasn't an actual better candidate I can't necessarily blame him for staying in either. If there really were a better candidate for everyone to get behind they'd be doing it. But there's been no serious candidates. Not even talk of serious candidates.

It's perfectly reflects how f***** up our society is right now. So many people having to work into their 70s or eighties whether or not they want to.

The fuck

Have you listened to any of his speeches? Yes, he says insane shit, but his audiences (conservatives) love it.

Trumpisms and Trumpspeak

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

OH! Trump. Yes. Sorry, I thought you were saying Biden’s crazy rambling.

No, yes, totally agree. It’s a cult. He’s speaking in very stupid tongues.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world -4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is ableism. Biden doesn’t mumble because of his age, but because he’s had issues with stuttering since he was young. To a few kids he’s even been an inspiring image for the fact he rehearses his speeches so well he rises above the impromptu stutters.

[–] cybersin@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No.

I already know of this.

It is what he says through the mumbling that is concerning.

I do not condone ablism.

Biden is ancient and incomprehensible in half of his public appearances.

That’s the opposite of what you said. Are you concerned about what you can understand, or what you can’t?

A speech impediment does not excuse the murder of Palestinian civilians.
