Why do people just go on the internet and tell lies like this? California elected her attorney general for 8 years and senator once.

That’s it for me. I’m not voting for anyone who sounds confused for 10 seconds. Unless maybe they ran against someone who sounds confused for 10 years, but only in that circumstance.

Well there’s your problem.

Biden’s big problem in the debate was that, for a few moments, he mumbled a confused answer that sounded like Donald Trump.

Biden challenged trump to a game, but only if trump carries his own clubs.

🤣🤣🤣

We all know that will never happen.

Lol, by who? You, Chungus from the peanut gallery?

Give me a break.

Uh what? Of course he’s declined. He’s old, just like trump. Trump is also clearly not his former self, from 2016 or even 2020. They are old af and that’s not news.

The difference is that Biden did occasionally answer the question, and his answers were pretty good. Trump barely stayed on topic, let alone made sense. After the debate I know more about what Biden wants to do and nothing about trump’s policies.

For an undecided voter, Biden losing his train of thought or mumbling some words is not terrible because he always recovered on the next question. Trump started out ok but definitely ignored important questions (abortion, his criminal conviction, Ukraine, etc.). Biden said what he needed to and has room to improve in the next debate.

He had a decent performance. I understand more about his policies and called trump a felon and a fat loser. That’s what I wanted out of it. Trump literally could not answer half of the questions because he was still rambling about the previous question.

Biden had a hoarse throat from a cold and a bit of a stutter but he turned on a dime when he was asked different questions. Both dudes are old af. The choice is: do you want senile grandpa who can’t answer the question or the guy who has a soft voice?

Biden’s clearly still with it but slower, and trump is clearly still nuts, possibly moreso. I choose Biden because he’s the only one who occasionally says things that make sense.

It’s already forgotten. No one cares. Biden has had a stutter since childhood. No one cares.

Why are you focusing on Biden? At least he’s answering the questions. Trump can’t answer the correct question.

He’s usually on the previous one. For one response Trump didn’t answer it at all and ended early. The moderator was like “uhh you have 80 seconds left”. That’s dementia. Biden’s hoarse throat is not.

Edit: another one “uhh sir, the question was about addiction. You have 67 seconds left.”

gerrymandered districts

The entire state elects Republicans because they want to. There are no gerrymandered districts. You voted for Donald Trump by 20% in 2020. All your Senators and US Representatives are Republican.

That’s why I think trump will go down in the polls as we get closer to the election. The American public genuinely did want trump to shut up when Biden said that. I hope Biden tells him to shut up again at this debate with the muted mics. It would make him go nuts.

Literally just say “I whooped your ass and I’ll do it again.” Trump would lose his mind. He never encounters people who say that to him. Everyone around him is a sycophant.

The indigenous people are the shareholders, so no it isn’t.

No? The coup was stopped through non-violent resistance and diplomatic pressure. That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

Attendance at his rallies is already down. He is already fading.

Yeah, this is what convinced me. He already was president and lost as the incumbent. It’s the biggest advantage you can have. He’s not winning.

The average moderate voter is lazy and doesn’t think about politics until a month before the election. Trump will be a way worse candidate in Oct 2024 than Oct 2020 or Oct 2016: older, fatter, smellier, more boring.

He has lost his novelty factor and now only has shock value to get attention. It will fade once people remember that he does crazy shit all the time.

This isn’t going to do anything. First of all, North Korea is probably not going to send battle ready soldiers to a foreign country. There’s really no reason for it. They might send ditch diggers for trenches.

Second of all, this isn’t going to move the needle on the battlefield. Russia already has more troops than Ukraine. They need more and better arms and ammunition, plus better support, training, airplanes, missiles, drones, commanders, etc. Basically Russia needs a completely different military.

Yes, they still have it. It’s just not in cash.

Fractional reserve banking works because most people don’t need all their money as soon as they get paid. Most businesses keep some money in the bank too. Banks have a required percent of deposits that they must keep on hand to allow these withdrawals. And if they run low on cash, they just borrow money for a day from other banks (literally just one day). The US government can adjust the percent of required reserves or the overnight lending rate to keep banks from lending too much money out.

Banks use this money to loan to businesses or people buying houses. It works well because whenever the money is loaned out it is used for a purchase and just redeposited in another bank. A percentage of that money is retained by the bank and the rest is loaned out again. And again and again. This way money is “created” when people buy things in the economy.

No it doesn’t. The US especially has spent a ton of money building up countries it has defeated in war.

The prime minister decides that their only course of action is to declare war on the United States. Expecting a quick and total defeat (since their standing army is tiny and equipped with bows and arrows), the country confidently expects to rebuild itself through the largesse that the United States bestows on all its vanquished enemies

They don’t love America. They love hierarchy.

This representative probably thinks he deserves the combat badge because of his imagined status.
