It’s horrible but I’m pissing my pants

y’all remember when Michael Bloomberg joined the democratic primaries late in the game back in 2020? He soared in the polls due to his non-stop adds and was the favorite for a week or two even.

 

I think he might be our answer.

Edit: nvm. I'm straight up not in the mood to start any sort of debate about this trainwreck.

Idk if CNN, Biden’s biggest cheerleaders, are floating it, folks in the upper echelon of the DNC appear to at least be considering it. But that being said, I completely agree that they should’ve made this pivot much earlier if they have any real intention of replacing, but I feel like they were afraid of having him come across like a lame duck for the remainder of his first term.

I wouldn't be surprised if people in the DNC were "floating around" the idea, but for it to come to fruition is a different story. They can think it all they want, but it would be suicide to replace Biden this late in the game imo. Dems have had poor messaging ever since Biden got into office and they need to work overtime to gain the American people's confidence back. But like I said before, I ultimately don't think this debate will change many people's opinions. Many people already thought Biden was too old and senile, and this doesn't change that.

I’ve never been this scared for the United States. This disaster is a self-imposed death wound and the country is just sitting idly by and allowing it to happen. 

I think that if Trump wins, he's gonna **** everything like the child he is, the U.S is gonna be a mess and China and Russia will accomplish their plan of a multipolar world. The U.S is gonna lose its imperialistic power and it's gonna be a hard time for y'all in terms of living conditions. (Or I don't even know, Trump is crazy and unpredictable)

Gavin Newsom coming through with the sole sane opinion about this but nobody cares lmao

The Biden campaign asked for this debate. 

I say the next debate is them two and a glass of Panera charged lemonade. Whoever doesn’t drop right then and there wins.

I'm just rooting we might see the end of capitalism in our lifetime. In the meantime, let's read Noam Chomsky, watch Michael Moore documentaries and hate the U.S (love you guys though , good luck)

[Edonis 28,974]

Nah, they need a new candidate. Biden's getting clowned even on non-American channels 

[4th Time Around 5,061]

That was painful, Biden was terrible, everyone is mocking him online 

Trump was just allowed to peddle his usual lies and this time it worked out pretty well for him. Beating this guy in a debate should be pretty easy but the democrats are stuck with a candidate who appears to be seconds from kicking the bucket

It's times like this that I'd be legitimately ok with a global extinction-level event happening  Like, I think we've done enough harm to the planet and to ourselves at this point, let's just end it all

I feel like I'm doom-posting, but something really needs to be done about this.

I know, it's gonna get worse, but I'm a Sagittarian, I'm annoyingly optimistic. I just often imagine an anarcho-collectivist future so I can get through another day.
