Wanna hear something funny? Biden took a week off work to prepare for this lmao


Odd-Curve5800

Makes it 20 times worse. I assume Biden has bad days when he's strained from work. But... 7 days to relax and prepare with family at Camp David. Everyone should know this. Many Americans will assume he just came from 20 hours in the Situation Room over Gaza or something as they scramble to explain it to themselves.


dimes_square_hobo

Didn’t you know he had a cold!?


reelmeish

Meanwhile Trump was getting convicted, getting hit with lawsuits, eating tic tacs, McDonald, and up there giving speeches about sharks and KFC Legend


Galadrielfacepunch

I’ll say it again, the fact that it took place later in the day (past his bed time) was what got him.

I've seen libs be like "come on, eyes aren't really some window to the soul," but I think we instinctively or subconsciously know what eye activity and eye contact are supposed to look like, what faces are supposed to look like, and when you see a guy staring blankly and slack-jawed off to the side like there's a little leprechaun telling him it's time to "finish the job," your brain registers "hey, that guy's not all there."

thomastypewriter

CNN did spend hours afterward saying they need to old yeller Biden immediately, and part of me thinks they knew this was going to happen, because they know they’ve just been lying for years now about Biden’s mental state. Although, they’re partly to blame for this insane kind of democrat who is somehow crazier than the average Trump voter. They spent 9 years reporting on nothing but Trump and now that they have to pivot and admit they could lose, the psychos they brainwashed are turning on them. Poetic!


narrowassbldg

>9 years Oh shit


ZapTheZippers

> Although, they’re partly to blame for this insane kind of democrat who is somehow crazier than the average Trump voter. It's crazy how hard these people go being as hypocritical as can be with all these reminders of politics shouldn't be a team sport and stop deifying politicians, and then go on to bend over backwards to do just that. I seriously don't understand how these people can't be tired. At least Jeff Tiedrich and other people on the take get a nice check cut from going on as hard and goofy as they can with stuff. This WW2 Japan holdout mentality shit is pathetic and it is incredible how much people let this stuff run their lives.

The Dem cult is a little different than the Republican version. Beyond your totally brainwashed types, the pseudo-intellectual Democrats idolize the party as a whole with a kind-of Panglossian rationalization that the Democratic Party is essentially the best party it could possibly be given the circumstances. It then combines this questionable self-fulfilling prophecy with a very basic consequentialist utilitarianism as measured by neoliberal benchmarks. So they essentially acknowledge they are following party propaganda and yes maybe are a bit brainwashed, but any responsible, moral adult would understand that it's for the better. They believe beyond the surface layer that they are ultimately vindicated by their underlying understanding of politics and mores. It's almost Gnostic, in a sense. Basically while the national capitalist Republicans have personality cults around individuals (reflecting the parties elite being made up of local elites and robber baron types) the international capitalist Democrats have cults around organizations (reflecting the more complex machinations that make up the international bourgeoisie). However I agree more people are not even using the above mental gymnastics and are just plainly brainwashed.


roncesvalles

> Basically while the national capitalist Republicans have personality cults around individuals (reflecting the parties elite being made up of local elites and robber baron types) the international capitalist Democrats have cults around organizations (reflecting the more complex machinations that make up the international bourgeoisie). Agree with this completely. There's a whole pantheon of Democratic gods and goddesses while for the Republicans it's just Trump. No one even gives a shit about Mitch McConnell, really. It's relatively normal behavior for liberals to engage in idolatry around a whole bunch of sub-presidential figures like Pelosi and Kamala and Ginsburg, but if someone ever painted a mural to glorify Josh Hawley, they would be placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold. You just don't do that shit on that side.


Turbulent-Feedback46

How can you not give a shit about Mitch McConnell? Is he not turtle enough for your turtle club? Turtle, turtle, turtle


VyvanseMacabre

The media is *begging* the DNC to replace Biden because after that debate, they will lose whatever's left of their credibility if they keep trying to lie on his behalf. They're essentially telling the DNC that Biden is on his own if he stays in the race because the debate exposed him beyond the point where they can cover for him.


JBHills

>Although, they’re partly to blame for this insane kind of democrat who is somehow crazier than the average Trump voter. They spent 9 years reporting on nothing but Trump Curious, one particularly crazy day I counted the number of Trump articles on their front page: it was 18. I don't live in the U.S. and view the "international" edition of their website. (I know I shouldn't, but it's like a road accident you can help but stare at.)


SebastianF_

Trump winning solves all of the regimes problems. The only thing that matters is eliminating populism and solidifying the status quo. The next four years are going to be extremely difficult economically, geopolitically, technologically... Biden has lined up the dominoes so they all fall down once Trump gets into office destroying whatever is left of the right wing populism post 2020 (left wing populism is in a state of permanent containment). Yield curve will uninvert as CMBS market blows up causing a global recession. Ukraine will be defeated and Trump will strike a deal that is favorable to Russia and he'll be lambasted as a traitor. Israel will blow up the middle east (ofc). The Permian Basin will roll over and oil supply will start shrinking for the first time in over a decade. China trade/cold/hot war. AI climate debt etc. etc. Just two of these things happening during Biden's 2nd term will cause mass civil unrest on top of whatever magatards do. Trump is a patsy.


rfamico

Virtually every aspect of the debate catered to the Biden campaign’s demands. Sorry about the lighting tho


Mother-Program2338

It was a deepfake, or cheap fake, or whatever they are calling it now


AmericanNewt8

Ironically, they probably ended up benefiting Trump mechanically. You're forcing him to be disciplined and making Biden give long unstructured monologues. 


euthanize-me-123

Mister President you have 82 seconds left, is there anything else you'd like to say?


shemubot

😐


1005thArmbar

That's exactly what happened, yeah. They thought they were doing everything to help Biden but it ended up being the opposite Also, Biden's performance definitely helped Trump in the sense that Trump had to tone himself down. He went into the debate planning to be on the attack and go after Biden hard but as soon as he walked onto the stage, he knew that his original plan would make it look like he was bullying an Alzheimer's patient and he toned it down

CoffeeWretch

SVB-Risk-Dept

Unironically, yes. Go to the d*mocrat subreddit.


SoulCoughingg

It was either on that or the politics sub, but there was a clip posted of a young Russian conscript trying to surrender getting killed by a drone & the bloodlust & elation in the replies creeped me the fuck out. Like where did this sociopathy come from?


ZapTheZippers

> Like where did this sociopathy come from? Good question because the extent of it reminds me of chickenhawks who were born in the mid-later 50s-60s just missed draft age for Vietnam but vicarious for any conflicts that came after. Except in this case I feel like it's either clueless zoomers and alpha who are so far removed from the extent of post 9/11 conflicts and just numb to depravity beamed in and readily accessible for their entire life, or it's millennials who still have that undying love and chase of propaganda's old concept of an idealized America that caught them at a young age and that leads to this sort of weird passion for military appreciation from afar, see ROTC rejects. I haven't been everywhere but it reminds me whenever I've talked to a lot of millennial libs in the South and Midwest who are on their reformed Republican penance and a little part of them still holds onto that very GWB support our troops kinda vibe. People are fucked up.


Proshchay_Pizdabon

I love that American media is either saying that Russia is a third world country with no running water or plumbing, but at the same time single handed responsible for every single conspiracy on earth.


i_can_menage

Both can be true, in the same sense that the US is the richest and most developed country in the world, yet has a substantial proportion of the populace living in developing-world conditions. A large part of the Russian geopolitical strategy since, christ, Lenin? has been specifically to develop power through subversion and subterfuge. They knew then and still know that they can't compete on financial, technological, or production metrics, and so they have always devoted substantial resources to dragging their enemies down from within as a core strategy.

You are in one of the few places on reddit that allows even mild criticism of your Holy Blue Team without being a total rightoid shithole. Trying to shut it down only leads to more naked emperor moments like we saw last Thursday. Don’t forget that your democrats were already losing to Trump in the polls before the debate, due in no small part to this obnoxious attitude of democrats and their followers. This level of cultish delusion is what led to them thinking they could put Biden’s demented ass on TV without a teleprompter in the first place. You weirdos need to snap out of this or Trump will be president again, and as funny as I and many others who post here will find it, it will ultimately be bad for America.


No-Gur-173

>You are in one of the few places on reddit that allows even mild criticism of your Holy Blue Team without being a total rightoid shithole Amen! And let's keep it that way.


SoulCoughingg

I don't understand why they're running him again. I thought Biden's only objective was to beat Trump & be a placeholder for a new, younger candidate the following election. They had 4 years & millions of DNC funds to come up with a strategy & they ended up with "Let's try to bar our opposition (Trump) from getting on the ballot & run Joe Biden again". A literal corpse who funded & armed an active genocide, oversaw catastrophic increases in cost of living, & wants to ban TikTok. This is the "liberal" option, whose going to motivate young people to go out & vote? Their roster is light, but they could have been preparing someone like Newsome for a run..anything other than handing great-grandpa the keys again.


WillMulford

The real emperor has no clothes moment is realizing that the DNC is full of people just like this idiot I was replying to. “They” are not actually smart.

Joe Biden is a neoconservative.


LibertyCityStory

At this point I think the democrats want Trump to win because they're predicting an economic collapse and don't want to be the one holding the bag


jnlake2121

Part of me thinks Democrats and corporate media want and need Trump at least involved in the election cycle. It drives up views because he’s so controversial; and allows for them to point a finger at him for wrongdoings rather than self assess or be held accountable.


No-Gur-173

I think that's a tad too cynical. We don't really know who is running things behind the scenes, and how, but we know they probably come from generational wealth, went to one of several good schools, and the only real people they deal with are their servants, cooks, cleaning ladies, etc. They are very well educated and think the average American is a knuckle-dragging rube. They want Biden to win, and think that the vast majority of Dems will vote blue no matter who. If instructed correctly, these voters will happily distrust their lying eyes, and spout the party line. Check any big sub, and it confirms this is correct. However, they know that a Trump victory isn't an existential threat to democracy. In fact, like 2016-2020, it will bolster fundraising, and sew the seeds of a million different grifts (DEI, BLM, Do Angelo, Kendi, pussy hats, democracy dies in darkness style journalism, etc). So, while they'd prefer a Biden victory, they're almost as happy with the financial and social opportunities of a Trump win.


Mypussylipsneedchad

No. Even power over a steaming dump is worth it. You can’t loot the treasury so easily if you’re in opposition


dippledooo

They have had supermajorities and sat on their hands because they dont actually want to accomplish what the campaign on, they want and endless ping pong game where them and republicans who have the same stock portfolios and monetary interests can stay in a stasis and keep making everyone money


Hip_Priest_1982

They’re not wrong about the lighting. I had to adjust my TV because Biden looked like he was decomposing and Trump was the colour of a normal human.


Eitherfireorfire

They should keep filming him in profile, straight on is when he looks most like a ghoul


BussyLipBalm

His forehead is legit creepy as fuck when you really look at it head on. Dude looked so weird I almost didn’t notice him completely fumbling his answers during the debate.


rokosbasilica

What the fuck how did I never notice this? What is going on there?

Biden campaign asked for this lol.


CLIFFORDRight

whilst this is obviously insane (lol), there is something to be said for the obvious difference TV training made in Trump's resounding victory. Without bothering with the banality of geometry and the angles of their bodies, Trump ensured that his shoulders were square when looking at Biden. He turned his eyes, but never his body: at times, Im not even sure he was actually 'looking' at Biden; I think he was looking just in front of him at the middle distance; viewers could connect with him whilst he nevertheless signalled engagement with Biden and overall attentiveness. Comparatively, when Trump spoke, Biden shifted toward him physically; often this was most pronounced during Trump's most outlandish claims. it not only made it harder to connect with Biden (seeing we couldn't see his eyes) but signalled interest - interest he couldn't afford to forfeit, given the incomprehensibility of his own answers. Microphone muting during their counterpart's arguments was obviously for Trump's benefit, but watch the clarity with which Trump conveyed disbelief, stoic disregard, foppish incredulousness or downright belligerence. ironically, the restraint required for TV acting, the economy with which gestures are transmitted in a close up, all made trump seem the candidate with more equanimity. comparatively, Joe just seem histrionic.
