A Right Wing Cannot Flap Alone, or, Donald Trump Screwed the Putsch

[Sacred Jellybean]

lol we’re fucked. Buckle up for another four years of Trump and cross your fingers our institutions will hold strong against him again when he tries to overturn the next election or run a third term. 

ABF, that debate was painful to watch. Biden didn’t “just have a cold”, it wasn’t a stutter, he was mentally emfeebled.  He used the wrong words (“we beat Medicare”) froze up mid-sentence several times, couldn’t stay focused, and when he could have slipped the knife into Trump about Roe v Wade, HE INSTEAD BROUGHT UP AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT MURDERING A WOMAN.

This is a disheartening humiliation for Biden and the DNC. The media exaggerates for ratings, sure, but they aren’t just pulling this “Biden should be replaced” talk out of their asses. 

For the record, I think Biden’s done a fine job and will vote for him again, and not solely to keep Trump out. I’ve seen him in other recent long-form interviews, and he was lucid. But this debate was a disaster. He was already teetering poll wise, and this will probably tank him. Whether he can claw himself back up depends on how optimistic you want to be but this will take a lot of heavy lifting to recover. He handed clips for attack ads to his opponents on a silver platter.
