Yeah, in Virginia. Biden being 4 points ahead in Virginia should be the bare minimum. Your own article says Biden is losing by 6 points to Trump nationally, which is an utter catastrophe.

I know it's a lot of stuff to go through, but just search "B13" and it'll give you the tables for each of the states. He's losing Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These are the states that matter to his reelection. I'm trying to sound the alarm bells and all you can offer is "biden's gonna campaign and that'll fix everything lmao".

The same goal that right wingers who were super duper totally going to vote for Bernie you guys, just super duper totally elect him, we all love him and he's great! Also Tulsi, her too! We'd super duper totally not vote for a republican and vote democrat if they just didn't screw over those candidates that we very, very, much definitely like! It's about sowing division in the left to make them attack each other rather than go after the ACTUAL enemy that is the right in hopes of suppressing votes through lack of motivation/morale.

The lack of motivation and morale is already there. It's why Biden is losing in the polls. It is why I made this topic. I don't need to manufacture it.

I'm sorry, are you saying that I'm responsible for the DNC pushing a dogshit candidate and for Biden torpedoing his own electability?

Heineken14 posted...

Continuing to push right wing propaganda doesn't help your very concerned and totally legitimate cause.

Do you want to go down the list? You can't just dismiss it as right wing propaganda when it is having a measurable impact on his electability.

It's weird that Trumpers think this is an angle, like, you're being stupid in plain sight. That only works on redhats. It's not passing.

Let's say I'm a Trumper. This is a cosmically stupid thing to say given my track record on this board, but let's say it's true. What the hell is my goal? 80% of the country thinks Biden is too old, why would I need to push that at all? I have made it abundantly clear that Biden is a uniquely weak candidate, so why would I want Trump to go up against anyone else, who would certainly have a better chance of winning? Am I actually a 4D chess player that knows that Biden is a uniquely STRONG candidate and I think anyone else would have a worse chance against Trump? I'm not a Trumper just because I don't deny reality.

Tanthalas posted...

Good to know you're all fired up to do something about this huge problem less than a year before the election...

Yes, I'm all fired up to get a candidate whose brain is not crumbling into dust in real time instead of Biden. That's what this entire topic is about.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

And youre right, 80% of the country didnt believe Obama conspiracies, just the entire right did. So its okay that their perception of him was like that according to you, right?

Are you comparing all of those insane racist conspiracy theories are equivalent to the objective fact that Biden is incredibly old and makes gaffes all the time and can't remember which world leaders died 20 years ago? There's some new story that comes out about this every single week.

Yeah, for Obama they just said he was a secret muslim, not a birthright citizen, and that his wife was actually a man. Many people, including Trump, paid it A LOT of mind. Is that Obamas fault that people had this perception of him and his family?

I'm sorry, did 80% of the country think he was a secret Muslim, not a birthright citizen, and that his wife was actually a man? No?

Mecha_Sonic posted...

well a good place to start would be if people like you would stop fucking amplifying it

What do you MEAN "amplify it"? Again, this is 80% of the country that ALREADY thinks he's too old.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

No, nobody said anything suing anyone. However, people like you saying that hes gaffe a minute just make the problem worse, especially if you claim to understand that the media puts Biden in a worse light.

If I said that, I don't know, Obama put out a gaffe a minute, nobody would pay it any mind because it has zero bearing in reality. This is not the case with Biden, and putting your hands over your ears and pretending not to hear it only serves to make you look delusional. This is the perception, and he has no way to fight it, because it's true. Again, how is he going to overcome it?

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

You dont question why you only see Bidens gaffes and nothing else of his public appearances? Its almost like theres an intention there.

Okay, let me grant you that the media is completely unfair. What are you going to do, sue them? Are you going to sue the voters for thinking he's too old? Even if the game is rigged, it's the one we're playing, and Biden's age (and cognitive decline) is one of the biggest factors against him. Again, how is he going to overcome this?

Mecha_Sonic posted...

the media has a right-wing bias. this is the reason for biden's bad polling numbers, not anything biden has done.

You don't think his unconditional support for genocide has hurt him in any way?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

What campaigning? He barely holds rallies and when he does, he pumps out a gaffe a minute. He declined the Super Bowl interview. He's been "campaigning" for months at this point and his numbers have only gotten worse.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

So you have a problem with Bidens age but not Trumps? Is Bidens age your main problem with him, and not his stance on Israel?

Trump voters don't care about his age because they're a cult, but Biden's age is a genuine issue in the minds of the voters. My #1 issue with him is the fact that he's supporting genocide, but his age and Palestine are the 2 biggest electoral issues he has. His fanatical support for Israel's genocide of Palestine has already caused so many deaths that I guarantee there are plenty of people that will simply never vote for him at this point, but I think he could gain back support if he just brought the conflict to a halt. I don't see how he can overcome the perception of his age short of having his staff pump him full of stimulants every day, which would probably kill him before the election.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Defeat is looking pretty fucking guaranteed if we stay the course. How does Biden overcome his terrible polling numbers?

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Bruh you think replacing Biden with Gavin Newsom months out from the election will destroy Trump.

Biden stepping down helps nobody. All it does is make dems look weak and disorganized.

Biden is an incredible electoral liability. If the election were held today, he would lose. What do you think he can do to turn around the fact that 80% of the country thinks he's too old? I grant that he can hypothetically (i have zero expectation that he will actually do this) do a complete reversal on Palestine, but the voting population is still going to think he's too old because they have eyes and ears. How does he fix that?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

If you want my honest answer on how I think anyone else could become the nominee, I think Biden voluntarily steps down at the convention and we do go to a brokered convention. I don't think anyone is going to be shedding a tear for Kamala if she gets passed over, though, no matter how many times you scream about identity politics that are utterly immaterial.

Mecha_Sonic posted...

cool, let's OVERRULE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE who are currently voting for biden/harris in the primaries. go to a BROKERED CONVENTION, and UNDEMOCRATICALLY appoint another white guy to be the nominee, INSTEAD of kamala, the first black female president. i don't think this goes down the way you think it does.

Buddy, I'm just waving a magic wand and waking up the next day to have Newsom as the nominee. If you want to talk about undemocratic practices, though, we have plenty to talk about with cancelled primaries and other blatantly undemocratic practices from the DNC that have actually happened.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Tell me whos better then. Who is your super candidate that will destroy Trump, and dont say any democrat. I want a name.

Fine. Gavin Newsom is an extremely mixed bag, but he absolutely blows Biden out of the water. That being said, we have an extremely limited pool of candidates to talk about precisely because Biden has been pushed so hard by both the media and the DNC despite his overwhelming weakness as a candidate.

cool, let's drag down biden and get the autocrat elected who'll kill 10x as many palestinians, and ukrainians and taiwanese to boot. great plan.

Where have I ever said that I support Trump? You're the one supporting one of the worst possible candidates to run against him, not me.

AlCalavicci posted...

TC, you still gonna vote for Biden?

If he ends up winning the primary, absolutely. He is obviously the lesser evil, but he's still evil and he's still one of the worst possible candidates to run against Trump.

uwnim posted...

It is fucking bullshit that this is the big problem.

The US supports Israel like we always do. And people act like this is totally unusual and Biden is just evil and wants to kill all the Palestinians.
While ignoring that hes telling Israel to chill out and the other guy tells Israel to kill them all.

Oh he's telling Israel to chill out? While he's continually bypassing Congress to give them even more weapons to slaughter the Palestinians with zero conditions? Israel is only allowed to get away with the shit it does because of unconditional American support, and Biden is using absolutely none of that leverage to force Israel to stop. I don't care if he doesn't believe in his heart that he supports the genocide of Palestinians, his actions indicate that he does.

Case #459238

Trump is obviously worse than Biden on policy, that's why I want him to lose. Biden is damn near the candidate that CAN lose to Trump, so I want someone that isn't him.

Tanthalas posted...

I already wasnt taking you seriously before this post.

Go ahead and deny the obvious reality. The best defense Kamala can mount is that he knew exactly what he was doing the entire time he was unconditionally supporting Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

So you're just, what, pulling numbers out of your ass? All this tells us is that Biden isn't performing as well as some mythical supercandidate you've made up in your head.

A generic Democrat does 8 points better against Trump. A Democrat generally needs to win the popular vote by 2% in order to win due to how fucked the Electoral College is, and he's down %. Anyone else, I beg.

FortuneCookie posted...

I hope Biden wins and then steps down.

I know I'm one of the few people who wants President Harris, but I think having a Black woman as President of the United States would be beneficial to the presidential race no matter how unpopular she is.

White supremacy becomes a losing battle once America has had multiple Black presidents. And we're overdue for a woman president. How many first world countries are there that have had exclusively male leadership?

Sometimes, you have to swallow a pill whether you like it or not.

Kamala Harris is one of the most rhetorically incapable politicians I have ever seen. She is incapable of saying anything whatsoever of substance, she always talks like a preschool teacher talking to the problem child, and she is utterly unable to challenge Trump in any way. Biden's approval rating is at 38% and that's utterly catastrophic for anyone seeking reelection, but Kamala's has been about 35% and she isn't even President. If you want a black woman to be President, pick anybody else.

Democrats in presidential elections since 2000:

2000 = Loss by Gore/Lieberman
2004 = Loss by Kerry/Edwards
2008 = Win by Obama/Biden
2012 = Win by Obama/Biden
2016 = Loss by Clinton/Kaine
2020 = Win by Biden/Harris

Now, causation =/= correlation, but the presence of one name on a ticket makes the Dems 3-0 and his absence makes the Dems 0-3.

I have a hard time understanding the idea that Mr. 3-0 is somehow unelectable.

He's an unconditional supporter of one of genocide and he can barely string a sentence together. Trump is up on Biden in 7 swing states by 2-7 points when any decent candidate should be up on him by 10. To deny this is to deny the plain-faced reality in front of you.

No primaries have been canceled

The DNC put South Carolina's primary before New Hampshire's because they believed Biden would do better there. In response, New Hampshire took Biden's name off the ballot (it's in the state Constitution that they HAVE to be first), and the DNC effectively cancelled the primary by stripping New Hampshire of all of its delegates. This is one of myriad ways the DNC has been refusing to allow any alternative to Biden to present themselves.

SilvosForever posted...

I assure you with the slightest bit of effort you could think of several Democratic politicians that would be worse presidents than Biden.

But they're all more capable of winning than him. Trump attempted a coup and has 91 criminal charges against him. This should be a fucking cakewalk.

He might be the worst possible candidate to run against Trump aside of Kamala. A ham sandwich could beat Trump, but the one person the Democratic Party has been cancelling primaries to make sure is unopposed might not be able to.

C, but this chart is absolute bullshit lmao

Companies just keep getting away with the most heinous business practices you can possibly imagine while cranking out the exact same game they've been making for the past 15 years. The industry is profoundly sick.

That's incredibly cool.

I'm 23, so I don't exactly need to worry about it anytime soon, but I know it's going to be important later down the line.

All his appearances in the OG are in fact scripted and hes not that hard to take down really.

How is RE2 not a horror game, what the fuck

There's probably enough ammo in the game to kill everything twice.

Turducken posted...

How in the world could you argue it for RE3 or you can't for the others?

Nemesis challenges you as a player in ways basically no other enemy in the series, including 3R Nemesis, ever does. He can come after you at basically any time, including different ones on subsequent playthroughs, and he is a potential game over any time he shows up. The entire rest of the series did nothing for me (with a few moments spread throughout), but Nemesis was constantly in the back of my mind for the first half of RE3, before he fucks off.

The only games you can possibly argue this for are, like, RE3 and REmake. Other games may have scary moments, but they are fundamentally action games that masquerade as horror games for varying amounts of time.

I'm a pan femboy, but my temperament is very "straight" and I'm otherwise unremarkable. All of my queer friends have very colorful personalities and deal with some kind of mental illness, so I do feel a bit of a disconnect from them. At the end of the day, though, the umbrella should include anyone and everyone who fits the description.

RE8 is a fantastic game, probably top 5 REs.

I will usually say "female" if I'm referring to anatomy or women as an institution.

after Slay the Spire, obviously. Peglin kinda counts, but it's not REALLY a deckbuilder (but it is).
