One old man will be yelling.

The other one will be saying “ugh, come on Jack.”

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

I can hear that in Biden's voice.

The fate of our future is in the hands of two old dudes.

One wearing diaper and smells like shit. The other is a happy grandpa who is trying his best.

Imagine if this was a action movie and these were the protagonists.

You mean My Fellow Americans starring Jack Lemmon and James Garner?

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Seriously, isn't there like a dozen movies like this?

One of them is clearly the bad guy. Like, I don't fucking care that the guy who can organize the monied liberal elites to get enough support to actually beat Trump is old.

Biden does like six events a day. Constantly on the phone with world leaders, cabinet leaders. Check the calendar. Check the readouts. Every time he goes somewhere he takes questions. Gaggles all the time.

The claims that he is infirm or unfocused are meritless. His brain has always been way faster than his mouth. Trump has always been the opposite, and his brain is even slower now, obviously.

I was thinking more along the lines of Expendables

Imagine if this was a action movie and these were the protagonists.

So I'm right there with you lamenting that we ended up with these two as the only likely choices, but I don't know if I would want "action movie protagonist" as the metric for what would make a "good" president.

I really hope they pump those two full of meth like they do with boxers

The last like 10 years have been useless as far as debates go.

Just watch WWE if you want to see a fake wrestling match. These "debates" have been absolutely pathetic and show the world just how fucking stupid we are.

The Obama era debates were the last decent debates. He was able to give thoughtful nuanced answers, while still holding people’s attention and remaining concise. Not many people have that skill.

That said, those Biden - Palin debates have some similarities to the Trump - Biden debates. Once again, Biden is debating a loud, confident, fascist, moron. And once again, we’re hoping he doesn’t produce a gaffe that makes him the center of attention.

Who was Romney's VP pick? looks it up

Like how out of touch do you have to be to think this was a good idea.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

People talk about these debates as if they are a thing you can "win." Once upon a time they might have been, but who in the nation didn't know who they were voting for in this election 4 years ago?

The moderator asks a question, the candidate doesn't answer it, his opponent slings mud, the audience claps, nothing is achieved.

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

We are really stupid. The rest of the world is pretty stupid too, but we're putting it out there in big, bright neon lights.

Its that old thought experiment:

You run into two presidents one cannot tell the truth and will mostly only respond to comments about himself while the other often mumbles incoherently but occasionally says "the idea, you'd lie about this"

You need to know how fuck to get out of here. There is no exit.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

State level electoral reform, replacing First past the post voting with something like Ranked Choice.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That won't be enough, but its a good start

Repeal the Apportionment Act of 1911 to return the House of Representatives to a proportional body.

Trump is an old man yelling, Biden is an old man doing, OP.

While I am gay, hard pass on clapping any cheeks with Biden or Trump. No can do.

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

I really want to make SOME kind of joke here.........but I can't think of a joke that's about you having a threesome with them, and also tastefully done. Every attempt I've thought of for the past 2 minutes has just gotten very crude before I even come to the punchline.

Soooooo.......how about this? honks a bicycle horn a few times, and slaps your face with a creampie! Waka waka!

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You don't even know if he's into cream pies. Positive consent is important.
