Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

works just fine for Warren Buffet, age 87, and one of the wealthiest human beings, and CEOs, on the planet (the 10th richest to be precise). And Berkshire Hathaway is the 5th most valuable company in the world. That might dampen the point you were trying to make.

Theres a clip of Joe Scarbough talking about "how this is the best version of Joe Biden" after the debate. That's an incredible level of delusion, I'm sure if he's changed his tune since then

Ignoring your bs about ‘incompetent god king Biden’ (thank SCOTUS): someone like who?

Who is going to parachute in? People need to put a name to this “someone” they expect to run instead.

At present there is a simple choice to be made. Its Biden or Trump.

Who do you choose?

Firstly it's been a lot more than one debate, people have raised concerns about Bidens physical and mental capacity for a long time now. Even polls among Democrats show this, Secondly nobody with any objectivity would seriously argue Biden sounds or looks more cognitive than Trump. Trump may say a lot of nonsense but he doesn't sound like he's about to keel over when he speaks.

You can keep burying your head in the sand or you can face reality that voters are saying they will not vote for a man with Bidens obviously frailties. You can think they are wrong, believe Trump is still much worse but a lot of American's seem to disagree with you. I'll say again the best thing that can happen for Trump is Biden staying put.

I think there is a good chance you will see a fair bit of among of that on both sides. Turnout in the US is usually embarrassing for a country which arrogantly sees itself as a "beacon" of democracy. 2020 while still low by comparison to most other democracies, voter turnout was at 66% the highest in a presidential election since 1900. It will be interesting to see what turnout is like but probably IMHO it will be down on the last presidential election given there are strong reasons for voters on both sides to not show up.

Typically it does favour Republicans which is probably why they enjoy engaging in so much voter suppression and making it as hard to vote as possible in general in so many states.

Well, like it or lump it, we have a weight of polling data that says Americans will choose the latter…

”Dewey defeats Truman”

“Red Wave November”

We’ve seen this before.

No name for an alternative eh?

Your point is that the polls can be wrong. This is true,but do not make the mistake of leaping to the polls always being wrong. Worth remembering that in 2020, Biden was forecast by the polls to win and he did win.

At most, we can say that polls do not indicate certainty, but they're still the best empirical way of gauging voting intention that we have.

Democrats coming out saying he’s not fit for 4 more years and another candidate should be put forward . I can’t see him winning the election unless like the previous one it’s an anti Trump vote not a pro Biden one .

You keep going on about the name of an alternative.

Pick anyone. It doesn't matter who. Give them 4 months of constant campaigning, being youthful, being energetic. We'll know them well by the end.

Campaigns don't need to run for years. I saw somebody on twitter point out that in France they had a snap election, a coalition of the left was formed, agreements were made on tactical voting to keep Le Pen's party out in the 2nd round and that was all done in 4ish weeks.

If the Democrats replace Biden they have 4 months (slightly less now). That's is oceans of time to get the face out there and get the message out there. Someone like Harris would have the benefit of the office of VPOTUS and access to the Biden campaign money. Pick her. Her polling is lower than Biden now, but that's on a theoretical run, and should go up when she's out there running. Biden is a known entity and is (currently) running, and his numbers aren't shifting up.

Stephen Colbert is ripping Biden in his opening monologue right now and ended with calling for him to stand down. Never thought I'd see the day. It's over.
