2024 Presidential Election Thread

just interesting the same standard isnt applied to donald as joe on dementia.

It's becoming the central theme in terms of why Biden isn't fit and by default Trump is more with it and better suited. He isn't. He has plenty of gaffes and senior moments but they aren't constantly memed and reinforced.
Trump is awful human being and a legit fascist. Both candidates are too old for politics but I'll stick with decent moderate (and Biden is and has been moderate throughout his career) guy over the dictator.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I don't think anything in this discussion is clear, so good luck with that.

I refuse to explain any more of my jokes to you guys on the spectrum.

Its purely down to the eye test. Trump is much quicker than Biden. The Dems have an uphill battle trying to convince the population to trust them over their lying eyes.

We are all educated people here and have sophisticated political beliefs. Elections rarely come down to sohpisticated issues. It's all about the vibes and a nebulous understanding of the direction the country is going.

I'd like to point out that there's a greater than zero chance Biden keels over in time for the Dems to run a different candidate this election cycle.

Yes. Here you go:

76% of voter have major or moderate concerns about Biden's age. 48% with the same concerns about Trump.

They are both way too old, but Biden's cognitive issues seem much worse.

By party, 95% of Republican voters, 81% of independents and 54% of Democrats say they have major or moderate concerns about Biden’s fitness for a second term.

81% of independents. Yikes.

Are you spectrum shaming or making another joke? I have a difficult time understanding nuance.

Sorry. I am not going to explain that to you.

This Russian FBI spy stuff is crazy. I never imagined in a million years that Putin could gain legitimate influence with elected members of our political system and the most important conservative voices in America:

POTUS - 45 - hired a Russian agent to run his campaign
GOP - removed from their platform the support of arms support to Ukraine
FBI - leaks Russian bull shit to Chuck Grassly about Hunter/Joe
Chuck Grassly - releases press release about Biden corruption
GOP House Leadership - launches inquiry into impeachment
Tucker - goes to Russia to spread propoganda against the US

Indicted ex-FBI informant admitted Russian intelligence officials passed along the Hunter Biden bribery story, prosecutors say (msn.com)

It is not a stretch to imagine Putin and his strategists outsmarting the MAGA world as they've been doing for oh... about ten years now. They struck gold when Trump got the nomination in 2016. Imagine... Jeb Bush or somebody doing this. Never. There is a serious lack of embarrassment and movement to root out Russian influence, too. People brushing this off just goes to show how low the bar has been lowered when Trump is in the conversation.

These conspiracy theories are fine and all but its weird that all of Russia's fortunes have occured during the presidencies of Obama and Biden. Its more likely that Russian interference produced little impact on the elections or behavior of Trump and that he is just crazy, narcissistic, and self interested and surrounds himself with idiots who think that they can gain advantages by Russia. The fact that Russians released information damaging to Dems doesnt matter to voters when the information has some truth to it.
