    …i mean, to be fair he was barely coherent at seventy, too: that’s kind of his whole thing, sputtering out incoherent word salad so his fanbase can infer whatever they want to hear…

    “Well, yes, he said that but what he really meant was this. I like him because he tells it like it is.”

    Are people really just now realizing he’s barely coherent? That’s why he got so much coverage 9 years ago in the first place. It’s been the #1 joke every fucking day for night show hosts since he rolled down that escalator to say Mexicans are rapists.

      No, just liberals. It’s literally just a sports game to them. This is one of their funniest sneers because it’s so obvious why leftists don’t give a shit about Trump.

      The reason, for the liberals reading, is because Donald Trump is not the DNC candidate for President of the United States of America.

      Crazy, I know.

        What would it mean if you are the crazy that you imagine you see everywhere around you? Have you ever had a physiological health workup or general mental health focused therapy?

      They never cared that about Bidens age, they just needed something to dislike him for. Notice they don’t have any policies they talk about. They just say Biden opened the border and is letting everyone in and it’s all his fault. Ignoring all evidence that arrests/detainments/returns are up, meaning they clearly aren’t just letting everyone in.

    Well since Biden’s leaving office shortly I don’t care that he’s too old for reelection anymore. Trump on the other hand has always needed to go; his mental degeneracy, the cognitive kind not the part where he’s just a degenerate, it’s just a new reason to add to the list.

        No, that would be stupid. I never cared about Biden having a stutter, and being a jackass about one sucks. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike her. I’m gonna vote for her anyway, because the alternatives are all bad (3rd party in a 2 party system) or insanely bad (Trump). Part of being an Independent that borders on socialist is that it pays to be able to understand that you’re never gonna get your way and do you just have to see what your people actually do and vote based on which one’s a best fit. You’re never gonna get anyone for any office that’s much more than “good enough” because that’s just how politics works. But there’s a wide sold between “meh I guess she’ll do” and “oh good were all fucking doomed.”

    Trump could be in a vegetative state, literally medically braindead, and Trump voters would still line up to cast their ballots for him.

    That’s what happens when you have a cult of personality, it takes on a life of it’s own and becomes more of an identity than an ideology. They don’t care what Trump stands for or even if Trump stands, all that matters is that they are Trump people and they only want to associate with their kind.

    For the rest of us, things like fitness and policy matter, which is why Biden was held to account and Trump will never be. There is no line that cannot be crossed.

    As somebody who watches this whole US election circus from the outside, it seems to be like Americans treat the election like fantasy football, except at the end of the day if you player gets injured somebody has to go out there and break the dudes legs for real.

    Where are they? Exactly where they always were.

    On the Left and amid the DNC, there has always been a lack of unity. The Democrats in general display a stark willingness to turn against their own, to eat their own candidate, in the event of a failure. A favored politician gets caught sending inappropriate pictures to someone who isn’t their spouse? Their career is over. An incumbent fucks up a debate? Their base splits and explodes and forces them out. On the left, you can’t fuck up and still expect unwavering support like you could on the Right.

    On the right, the cries about age and fitness are being shown as bad faith arguments. The fact that they still support their pants-shitting senile rambler felon of a candidate makes it pretty clear that they don’t actually care THAT MUCH about age and fitness. It was just a convenient weapon they could turn turn against Biden, because he was very slightly older than Trump, and when Trump babbles like an imbecile that’s just his normal. He’s always been unfit, as opposed to recently declining to that level.

      There’s no solidarity like fascist solidarity. They stick to each other like stink on shit, unless one of them does something nice or normal. Then it’s straight to cancel town.

    The bothsiderist media didn’t even bothsides things when both candidates were older. Now that only the Republican one is older, I have zero expectation of them asking why donnie is so old.

    I’ve seen a bunch of articles about it this past week. With Biden there were a lot of prominent liberal voices calling for him to step down, not to mention the absolute lack of enthusiasm within the rank and file that was showing in polls - with Trump the party’s rank and file are on his side no matter what, so if a prominent conservative calls for him to step down they will be ostracized for it.

      To be fair, there’s more and more prominent Republicans that came out to say they will vote for Harris or that didn’t show up at the Republican convention

          I think some traditionalists are getting very tired of Trump and his gang, wouldn’t be surprising to see the party explode if Trumpism keeps going after he’s out…

      This is a weakness among liberals. Some where willing to let Trump win because they did not like Biden. This is not 2016, we know what happens with trump in office now. anyone who lets him win is just as guilty as the people who vote for him.

      Yeah, my first thought was “they’re all queueing up to vote Kamala because their concerns about Biden were adequately responded to.”
