At first I typed just embrace the doom and gloom because that’s all we have. Then I saw that comment on twitter. I don’t think there’s anything that can be said to help.
Biden was looking and sounding good at his rally in NC just now. Where was this Biden at last night?
How long did he talk for? If he's only good in short bursts here and there it's not going to convince too many who already don't pay much attention but are decided already on his condition.

if he's only good in short bursts is that not an issue?

He's not only good in short bursts, though. They're just all you get on tiktok/twitter/etc. Again, I'll point to the SOTU (over an hour), and look forward to the convention speech. None of this is to imply I thought he was anything approaching good in that debate, to be clear.
If we elect a democratic house and senate, yes. He's already committed to dumping the filibuster for it, and we won't have Synema/Manchin blocking the way. (The tweet should've said "re-elect me and give me a democratic congress").
So annoying being told what Biden will do if he wins lol. Fucking do it now you jabroni
Not sure how he can do it now with a Republican controlled house?
So we re elect him but somehow republicans maintain control of the house after the election.....then what?
It just feels like a hollow promise. If he's saying he's going to do it later when we can't possibly predict what will happen elsewhere then what's the point?
Obviously I wish he would win and Dems would get control of everything (despite not fully liking them or identifying as one but I know they are not republicans) but I'm just not feeling optimistic and the "vote me and I'll do this" shit when he's the most powerful man in the country already seems silly

He starts around 1:30 but if you scroll earlier you can catch some Fat Joe and E-40 performing lol. And he's good pretty much the whole time, with the standard occasional slurs of speech from an old guy with a stutter.
Y'all, I don't wanna be doom n' gloom. But, I'm worried. This isn't good for my mental health.
My advice: Swear off this thread for a while, and avoid political chatter on social media. As long as I can remember, doom, gloom, anger, and negativity have been the prevailing sentiments here, and we all know social media amplifies hyperbole and negativity the most.
I’m not saying it’s not justified - we all know a lot of shit is fucked - but that’s the thing - there’s knowing that, and then there’s having it reinforced over and over and over and over again. None of us need to be told shit is fucked 1,000 times. Just the once will do. But political discourse in any online forum isn’t set up that way.
So, if you’re feeling it…give yourself a break. Hyper-awareness of every little thing isn’t going to make things better, and it’s possible to stay abreast of what’s going on without drowning yourself in it all the time.

JC. I have a UTI. My tires on my car are bald af and I need new ones. I dropped the last of my favorite chicken salad on the floor and before I could scoop it up the cat licked it.
Then I come in here.
These old geezers need to fucking retire and move to Florida with the rest of the boomers. That’s all I got. Sorry LD
I’m loving the new conspiracies floating around that last night was all a deep state plot to replace Biden. It explains the early debate, etc.
Love this stupid country.
Now I'm confused, because the MAGA types I'm forcibly subjected to say the deep state is headed by Sleepy Joe and Crooked Hillary and they're all trying to steal the election for him. Or maybe that's what the shadow government wants us to believe?
This sucks, I'm done thinking and I quit. Give me a tax cut that won't help me much, let me run my trucks on coal I dug up at a local playground, take control of the females in my family, dump my used car batteries in the ocean where they belong, and pretend the world is simple.
They don't even understand their own conspiracies I guess. No, the deep state is more entrenched in the institutions through members of agencies and moneyed interests like the military industrial complex. lol. All good conspiracies need a grain of truth.
What they are implying is these powers are scared Biden doesn't have the juice to beat Trump. It all goes back to Le Deep State being so super scared of Trump. So they scheduled a debate before the convention so that Biden could shit his pants in front of the country and the Dems would have to replace him with a new person. Apparently they think it's Newsome.
at this point its just incredibly important to take care of yourself and do things you enjoy. things are shit right now i know but we cant let that be the only thing we focus on.

The only thing that's pulled me back into politics is Gaza. Otherwise, I just make fun of the entire goddamn circus we are living in. Not because it's all that helpful or meaningful but it keeps me from getting pulled down into too much of a funk. There's a lot of darkly funny shit to glean from all this. But I'm also a person that thought Ingmar Bergman was the greatest artist in the world when I was 15. I'm weird and wired for gloom.
I find it really easy because none of the people in charge demand much respect at all. In fact, there are plenty of reasons to hate about 95% of them.
Yes we can. Michelle + Bey 2024. The Dems suddenly squash all talk of black voter apathy, and we see some positivity instead of 100% negativity 100% of the time in American politics. Another problem is solved when the heads of old, white, male right wingers start exploding spontaneously.
At least he didn't talk about "the war," meaning World War I, or complain about anyone walking on his lawn. Another 30 minutes and both might have occurred.
I don't see the value in comparing a rehearsed speech that uses a teleprompter like the SOTU with something more extemporaneous like last night where he'd get lost between the start of a sentence and the end of it. Even his most delusional fans know that was rough.

Weird to me that Biden's predictably bad debate performance is getting so much bad press and reactions. I guess we have been so desensitized to Trump's lies that we don't care anymore, while the idea of an elder president that's probably too old to run is fresh fruit that needs to be squeezed for the maximum amount of juice. I'm all in favor for him to drop out and have someone new but I just can't think of anyone, personality and profile wise, to take on Trump. Not to mention the idea of nominating someone who didn't go through the primary process, completely shedding any remaining illusion that the candidate is chosen by the people in a democratic process by the people. That won't sit right with many centralist (closeted Republican) voters. Maybe the move at this point is to focus on senate races and just play defense for four years.
