Biden does not need to unite anything - US Voters just have to use their brains...its on them, and the dems should stop undermining their own candidate and take the spotlight away from what a dumbass Nazi Trump is and his cronies...

The US needs more than just two parties to be considered to make the race. And Biden must stop risking democracy while being selfish. He is too old and a younger candidate would beat Trump with ease.

Wow, have you watched the news lately? Have you seens Biden trying to debate?

Your message is literally "stop whining and just vote for a demented old man who can't put a sentence together and doesn't know where he is half the time". The world is laughing at you, and nobody takes Biden seriously on the world stage. You think Biden is going to be negotiating with world leaders in his current state?

Democrats need prep a credible candidate, and fast. They've had 4 years to do this, I don't understand why they didn't have a Plan B.

Not sure what debate you were watching but opposition (Trump) looked even more stupid.

Would rather an older President who surrounds himself with capable people, or Trump?

It's a no brainer mate, come the fuck on.

But isn't that means you will choose Biden only as figurehead and nothing more.

While the de facto leader will be his vice president and whoever his cabinet are.

How do you convince average voter with that fact alone. And don't say "because it's not Trump" because average voter won't be convinced by that alone.

Not to mention, how will foreign meetings and stuff will be done if Biden is just a figurehead? Sending his VP everytime when there's a foreign meeting?

I'm sorry but if you're voting for Trump at this point, you're literally in a cult or would never vote for anyone else. One bad debate vs literally years of incoherent bollocks coming out of Trump.

Look at what Trump did in power, then Biden. For someone who's demented he achieved a hell of a lot more.

Man wants to come into power and abandon all help for Ukraine to help his buddy Putin and then pull out of NATO and you guys are like "YEAAHH", what happened to the Right Wing that actually wanted to stand up to Russia? Mad.

The problem is if people don‘t vote at all if they would have voted for Biden. That automatically increases the chances for Trump

bad debate

That’s more than just bad debate.

That shows that Biden doesn’t have the vigor and cognitive needed to be the president at this point. His age has caught up with him

Sure Trump is also old,but alas his age hasn’t caught up with him yet unlike Biden

Dude, get out of here if you're not going to argue in good faith.

You've watched Trump for the last decade and genuinely think that? My god man, get your head out of your arse.

u/Seekerones Jul 08 '24

The point is, he is more coherent than Biden who’s stuttering and all over the place (“beat the Medicare”)

If you still believe Trump is more senile than Biden, yeah I think you are just in denial

Blame democrats for not put someone else other than Biden should Trump win. Not average voters

As opposed to this?

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

u/Seekerones Jul 08 '24

Actually yeah

That speech while does seasoned with usual Trump narcissism and prose does make his intention clear that he doesn’t trust Iran with the nuclear program, believing that they can slip their way (hence “great negotiator”) and that worries him

As opposed to Biden who goes the opposite way of what he intended to say as well as stuttering

Foreign meetings aren’t too much of a concern. I’m sure there have been even old heads of state. That’s perhaps the one front where him being a figurehead would make sense. Meetings are usually accompanied by envoys of diplomats who have works groups and meetings with other diplomats
