President Joe Biden
Right now, we need VP Biden, we need him to step down and drop out so Bernie sanders can save this country from this global crisis just like FDR.
A thread to debate the efficacy of a Joe Biden Presidency in the midst of a global pandemic and impending Great Recession/Depression.
Where is Joe Biden? Can he beat Trump and is he even trying to? What would a Joe Biden Presidency look like in these times? Where is he and why isn't he leading?
Yes, Joe has trouble reading a teleprompter and says things he isn't supposed to like the word "pause" and the phrase "repeat the line", but you have to keep in mind that most people of his age and ability are in a nursing home and have trouble remembering the names of their children. I know he has goten his wife and sister confused, but that was like one time.
Most people in his stage of life are overwhelmed by the idea of getting out of be
Lol you support Donald Trump.
Yes, he's old and gets confused occasionally.
But a plant? What does that even mean? Planted by whom? Nearly everyone thought that he wasn't the strongest candidate the Democrats could have picked. Would be pretty stupid to plant him.
It's obvious Joe Biden is a stooge plant and under total control. He has no clue even how to exit a stage.
How's it possible that the supposed president of the biggest superpower in the world doesn't even understand how to campaign?
The teleprompter said "Four More Years! (pause)"
He not only said four more years with the least bit enthusiasm like he doesn't even know why he's saying it, but he also said the word pause out loud not only onc
So u at least agree then that the DOJ , FBI , etc are not under biden control and so trump is actually possibly guilty on many level ?
Biden can’t be a mastermind and a inapt person at the same time right ?

And trump his a delusional thinking he won the 2020 election and think airport existed in 1800…while being in the same age bracket of biden ?
But yes I can see how delusional people votes for other delusional presidents …
When people say a president is good or bad for something they aren’t typically saying the difference between 2 presidents is night and day on that issue. For example we should expect higher oil prices under most dems who want higher oil prices than most repubs who want lower oil prices - they have some control (but nowhere near total control) on oil prices because the US has very large reserves and is a very large consumer of oil. So
lot of oil US corporations went bust in 2015 despite w.e u just said about dem/reps and tax level just because OPEP raised production .
So all that beliefs u have just got debunked …
For the last 2 questions , for a professional in finance like yourself , Pretty amazing u need to ask when it’s obvious ..
Ps: but since u can’t even acknowledge how trump makes fraud , it’s normal u can’t see how buyback shares are so bad either …
I don't know what other quality I could have meant other than electability when I said he wasn't the strongest candidate. The job of a candidate is to win an election.
I thought you meant in the "actually capable of being POTUS if elected".
who do you think would have a higher chance than Biden to win the election for democrats?

Probably the Gov of CA Newsom or any of the people who ran in the primary against Biden in the 2020 primary, other than VP Harris.
no you couldn't
lol, these clowns have been peddling conspiracy theories about the Dems shaking up their ticket for years now, it's been 100% obvious for months that's not going to happen and Joe/Kamala will be on the ballot, but they still keep at it.
Biden is the best democrat candidate to gather the votes of older whites especially non college educated ones, no one comes close.
the "national vote" doesn't matter, that some candidates can win california or NYS by bigger margins is irrelevant. You need to win purple states. In purple states basically it's always about whites over 50, at least that's how Trump won vs Clinton and Biden won vs Trump.
There is something to be said about latino voters as well but it's less clear how they skew, how they moved in the last couple of years and so on (only thing we know is that latino men are moving toward republicans, women far less if at all).
That 23y old upper middle class kids would have preferred many other people than Biden is obvious, but they don't decide presidential elections. Black women are going to vote 95% for any democrat candidate anyway so they don't matter as well. Minority men will more likely vote for a man than a woman to begin with, and having been Obama VP matters to some of them.
Maybe some candidate that specifically targets minority men would do better than Biden, but by how much? meanwhile no1 comes close with whites , especially over 50, especially non college educated whites, to Biden among democrat candidates.
People living in already-won (or already-lost) states *don't matter at all* to win elections. At all.
Which candidate would do better than Biden in Michigan? in Arizona? in Georgia?

i dislike biden but i agree with most of this. neither party has a particularly strong bench right now.. i thought the republicans might be in a better future position with desantis, but he has proven so far to be extremely weird and untalented for national politics.
Agreed. There is no bench for the Dem party right now. Dems were talking about newsom from CA or Beshear from KY replacing biden if he had to drop out.
Both of those guys would have been hammered by what is currently going on in their states. CA is the best example of some of the long-term unintended negative effects of Dem policies and you can't highlight the violence, crime, people moving out and homelessness in a national election because some people in middle America see those things as negatives.
Beshear's biggest city (Louisville) is the 2nd worst city in the 67 largest downtowns in the US and Canada in terms of "downtown recovery" (which measures exactly what it sounds like) since covid.
I can't imagine why anyone who would vote for Biden over Trump would switch to voting Trump over nearly any democratic candidate who was endorsed and promoted by Biden.
Maybe even particularly white males over 50.
Unfortunately the rare exception may have been Harris, which complicated everything.

the actual undecided people at the margin live in completely incoherent worlds that we can only vaguely imagine.
first of all it's not absurd to think that even among democrat-leaning voters, 1-2% might simply refuse to vote for a woman as POTUS.
then, name recognition. it might sounds not credible but believe me that it's not about some people being a little less informed than us, who like to talk politics.
Some American voters are actually as informed about American politics as you are about Japanese politics.
there are people voting Biden who probably don't even know Harris is the VP
So Joe Biden is threatening to not supply weapons that was approved by the house and senate to gain political favour with a voting group Hmmm I remember impeaching a president for that
Yes? The first trump impeachment was about trump allegedly not sending the congress approved 400m to Ukraine because he asked Zelensky for stuff in exchange for that
It was because he extorted Z to get him some dirt on his political opponent, not because he considered not sending the money.

The bolded in your post is not the same as the bolded below, so no.

Trump withheld things to get a foreign government to investigate a political rival. Biden is withholding stuff probably because he thinks that's the right thing to do, but in the worst case because he thinks it's what some American voters want. Those are just not the same.

Biden thinks it’s the right thing to do to gain back the youth vote and win an election. Congress voted for the aid which included the weapons and Biden signed it .
I guess Trump withheld the money to investigate what he thought was a corrupt presidential candidate acting for the American people .
