    Goddammit. I’m having flashbacks to the 2020 primaries.

    Fuck the low level of civic education in this fucking country.

    All of the people who have worked so fervently to suppress and brigade any person who dare say that Biden is unfit for office and that the Democrats need to produce an alternative.

    Now the DNC has a shocked pikachu face that he is unfit for office and they need to produce an alternative.

    If only we didn’t have Blue MAGA boot lickers muddying the water for the past 3 years, we had already gone about the process, and this debate featured someone who was fit for the office.

    Trump literally shit his pants on stage (there was a point when his microphone was on where you audibly hear him fill his pamper) while doing nothing but lying and dropping buzz words and Biden STILL resoundingly lost the debate.

    Somehow found a way to top Boat-Shark-Electricity with Abortion-Civil Rights-Immigrant murderer.

    Fuck.

      Resoundingly lost the debate?

      That’s insane.

      At least he answered the questions correctly, building off solid domestic policy over the past four years.

      Dumps didn’t tell the truth at all, and that s*** doesn’t fly like it did 8 years ago.

      They don’t need an alternative, people need to vote.

        You are entitled to your opinion but a large majority of voters disagree with you. So it’s a problem regardless of how you perceived it.

          That large majority of voters already disagreed with me before the debate, so the point is moot.

          I don’t care what people who can’t think critically are thinking.

          It’s like being upset with a child.

          Speak for yourself, don’t pretend you’re speaking for anyone else.

            Well these are the people who decide the outcome of the election so I still care what they think even if they lack critical thinking skills.

            The debate really doesn’t have any impact on my vote because voting for Trump is unthinkable for people who actually understand the issues.

            But I think it does give us information about how well prepared Biden is to oppose him. And I came away feeling that he is very unprepared for the task. So in that sense, I agree that he lost.

        Answered the questions correctly?

        I can hardly even make out words.

        What I could pick out, translated to (as) coherent (as possible) English:

        “A young woman who just was murdered, and he went to the funeral, and the idea she was murdered by an immigrant coming in, they talk about that. Here’s the deal, there’s a lot of young women being raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, brothers and sisters. I, wah, jus, jusjusjus ridiculous. You can do nothing about it. And they try to arrest them when they go across state lines.”

        In what world do you live in where that is “correctly answering” a question about abortion?

        You really need to stop sabotaging the Democrat party with your Blue MAGA horse-shit.

          Quit projecting your sabotage.

          I didn’t say that he answered every question exactly how you personally want it to be answered.

          Also, that’s the one clip that’s been posted on every news site, did you even watch the debate?

          He’s old.,you crybaby.

          If you’ve ever spoken to an old person, that’s what they sound like sometimes.

          It doesn’t change that he’s been doing a good job for 4 years.

          You can vote for the rapist, I’m going to keep going with the guy who invests in clean, sustainable energy, legislates new civil rights, provides funding for health care and told Walmart and other corporates to lower their prices.

          You’re so transparent.

          Literally the only people who say blue maga are actual maga people.

          Maga’s an idiot fascist rapist slogan, so you can keep it to yourself and quit projecting it onto liberals.

            He has single handedly disenfranchised record numbers of voters with a genocide.

            And you say “he’s old” like that’s just some write off thing. Its not just some write off thing. If him being old is what is making him incapable of stringing together a coherent thought or WALKING OFF A STAGE UNASSISTED, then GET SOMEONE WHO ISNT ANCIENT.

            Get your head out of your ass buddy.

            When the dems lose, its because of what you are doing here.

            100% avoidable. Get literally anyone who can enunciate a full sentence and hasnt personally orchestrated a genocide, and they will win.

            Keep Blue MAGAing and being delulu, and you will have succeeded in handing Trump the office again.

      Hearing “Trump is a threat to democracy” from Democrat leadership has started to make me seethe. They think it’s a one-way responsibility: we the voters are obligated to show up to vote for whoever they put in front of us, but they feel no responsibility to switch to a better candidate.

      Now the DNC has a shocked pikachu face that he is unfit for office and they need to produce an alternative.

      If only we had some kind of “pre election” where members of the party got to hear from potential candidates and their positions so the party can be sure they’re putting forth the best possible candidate…

      Edit:

      Maybe call it: The Primary?
