I feel like the Democrats put up the only candidate in the pool that could lose to Trump.

Two elections in a row they did this.

Biden hasn't made sense in over 50 years, which makes the dementia claim weak.

In Trump's case, he doesn't prepare for speeches, he doesn't use scripts (which helped Obama and Clinton), and he speaks off the top of his head (which, by the way, he's *also* done for decades). That said, a lot of the criticism is for shit that MOST presidents are guilty of when they're going off-script. He's more heavily scrutinized than other presidents so more of it gets caught and less is written off.

Maryanne Williamson, Andrew Yang, and Tom Steyer all say hello.... in addition to Bernie Sanders, John Delany, Deval Patrick, and... well, it's pretty much all of them. Biden was the strongest candidate by far and very few others seem like they'd stand much of a chance against Trump. Williamson, Yang, and Steyer were the biggest jokes, although Bernie Sanders was arguably the worst candidate running since he's been in government almost all of his exceptionally long life yet was flunking basic policy questions.

Bernie would have won. You don't know what you are talking about.

The Democrats goal this election wasn't to beat Trump, it was to beat Bernie Sanders again to prevent their party from actually being left-wing.

We closin' the gap, boys!

Conversation 1 (December 2019):

"I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. Theyre noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? Go under a windmill someday. Youll see more birds than youve ever seen in your life. [...] Theyre made in China and Germany mostly. But theyre manufactured tremendous, if youre into this, tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether its in China, Germany, its going into the air. Its our air, their air, everything, right?" - Donald Trump

"Ive seen the most beautiful fields, farms, fields most gorgeous things youve ever seen, and then you have these ugly things going up. And sometimes theyre made by different companies. You know, Im like a perfectionist; I really built good stuff. And so youll see like a few windmills made by one company: General Electric. And then youll see a few made by Siemens, and youll see a few made by some other guy that doesnt have 10 cents, so it looks like a so you see all these windows, theyre all different shades of colour. Theyre like sort of white, but one is like an orange-white. Its my favourite colour: orange." - Donald Trump

Conversation 2 (April 2019):

"I hope they now go and take a look at the oranges, the oranges of the investigation, the beginnings of that investigation. [...] The Mueller report I wished covered the oranges, how it started, the beginnings of the investigation, how it started. It didnt cover that, and for some reason none of that was discussed." - Donald Trump

My father is German, right? Was German, and born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany." - Donald Trump, whose father, Fred Trump, was born in the US and lived there his entire life.

"If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 per cent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, OK?" - Donald Trump

Conversation 3 (June 2020):

In response to a question of "what is one of your top priority items for your second term?" from Sean Hannity.

Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. Ive always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. Its an, a very important meaning. I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times. All of a sudden, Im president of the United States. You know the story. Im riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say, This is great'. But I didnt know very many people in Washington, it wasnt my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now, I know everybody, and I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes. Like, you know, an idiot like Bolton. The only thing he wanted to do was drop bombs on everybody. You dont have to drop bombs on everybody. You dont have to kill people. - Donald Trump

Conversation 4 (July 2016):

"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 youre a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say Im one of the smartest people anywhere in the world its true! but when youre a conservative Republican they try oh, do they do a number thats 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 were a little disadvantaged but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me it would have been so easy, and its 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 whats going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? but when you look at whats going on with the four prisoners now it used to be three, now its four but when it was three and even now, I would have said its all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they dont, they havent figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, its 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. - Donald Trump

Donald Trump is plainly unwell, even compared to just a few years ago. He frequently loses track of his train of thought, he's displaying signs of aphasia (substituting similar-sounding or similar-meaning words to the words he's actually trying to use - like when he was going off about the "oranges" of the Mueller report, something he misstated multiple times at different points in his speech), and his inability to process complex ideas or focus for extended lengths of time has been reported on so often we've almost stopped recognizing that a president who is unable to read through basic briefings and has to have them orally presented and simplified isn't normal. This is without even touching on his physical health, like his infamous ramp-walk or his sudden, unexplained visit to the Walter Reed Medical Center late last year.

Trump can't focus, can't speak coherently (something that is getting worse as time progresses), and is displaying all the signs of a senior in cognitive decline. His verbal diarrhea reads like a textbook case of Wernicke's Aphasia. Anybody who has watched a grandparent mentally fade will recognize a lot in Trump's behaviour. I don't know if he had a mild stroke last year, if it's the onset of Alzheimer's, or if it's something else altogether, but Trump is plainly mentally unwell (beyond his lifelong struggles with NPD).

I hope Biden wins.

I hope he fucking stumbles up to give the State Of The Union address in his boxers with his hair all messy.

I hope when he visits the queen he takes her crown off and jumps into the fancy fountain nearby, and goes for a swim.

Then on that day, Ill laugh at rightwing media which will all of a sudden give a fuck about the presidents mental state and whether or not were the laughing stock of the world.

I hope he shits his pants on Inauguration Day.

I mean, I thought youd be smart enough to know that Biden(and probably anybody else) would listen to the experts.

I, along with many others, have my ambitions as to what we want from our politicians. But at this point... Ill settle for anyone willing to listen to experts. And if Biden is in mental decline then I will greatly relish your tears as well. So Biden is a win/win.

Also, its nice to see you admitting those right wingers are no good.

And no tears will be had. If he is half as dementia addled as he seems, it will just be fuel for right wingers. Anyway, your posts make it clear that it's just a football game to you and you only care about politics so far as to stick it to right wingers

Biden was the strongest candidate by far

The only reason most people voted for Biden is because they believed the media's lies about him being the most electable. People agree more with Bernie's policies, but they don't care about anything other than getting rid of Trump. If Biden wins the next election, it's only because of how unbelievably fucking horribly Trump's handling the pandemic.

I swear to god talking to non-autistic people makes me want to kms. Why do you think that I believe trump is a good president because I said one of his quotes made sense and wasn't a bad thing to say? The answer makes me marginally more comfortable with the concept of a second trump term since it indicates he is probably less likely to hire more warmonger natsec veterans.

Typically when someone asks you, "What's a top priority item for a second term?", your answer should include something you want to do in your second term.

chlc3d posted...

seemed like his answer was "don't hire warmongers" seems like a good start to me

That was not his answer; he literally did not say that.

He said he made mistakes in his first term and he emphasized that was past-tense; by his own answer, all of the people in his administration right now are great (a sentiment that will probably last for another couple weeks until we're due for another high-profile firing/resignation).

His answer did not even tangentially address the question asked, which makes me believe he couldn't understand it. And when the question is that simple, that makes me think he has some significant issues with cognitive decline.
