The conspiracy theorists all say Joe is supposed to step down and Gavin Newsom somehow is added to the ticket which then will win. These conspiracy theorists also say that candidates are selected in advance by the powers that be and it’s all pagentry to deceive the gullible masses. Was this debate really an unepected plot twist, or was it planned?
When is JFK coming back from the dead
I am not saying I believe all these things. It's just what they say.
All the "misinformation" "conspiracy theorists" seem to have gotten quite a few things right.
I follow. The best lies have a teensies pair of truth legs to get them started.
It's actually far beyond that.
Remember when covid happened and the media and government said it came from a bat at a market in wuhan and not from the experimental covid lab directly next to the market?
And remember when this was considered "misinformation" and a "conspiracy theory" if you even mentioned that it could be from the covid lab?
Do you rember when they said it was a "conspiracy theory" and "misinformation" to say the covid vaccine was impacting hearts, before they withdrew the Johnson & Johnson vaccine?
Do you remember people getting banned from Facebook for even mentioning that and being called conspiracy theorists spreading misinformation?
Well Pepperidge Farm remembers motherfucker.
I'm in the backyard of your family's lot, remember?
No chance, I usually don't care about American politics but I'm not gonna miss the chance to watch 2 geriatric fucks attempt to debate one another.
It was so much worse than I envisioned it to be though. Like one guy seemed to make up literally everything with insane claims that were delivered with confidence only rivaled by how stupid they were and the other sounded like his brain turned to soup if he spoke for more than 5 seconds and when not speaking he looked like a frog seeing a very tasty fly on the wall.
I really hope Europe can get our collective shit together and supply Ukraine once the US shits the bed there.

that's exactly how he was when he was president from 2016-2020. he tried to nuke a hurricane and buy greenland. his own party basically lets him say whatever dogshit he likes as a distraction while they engage in graft and tax evasion
America needs some perspective. You complain that your only choices are a doddering fool or a toxic narcissist who wants to actively destroy the nation.
Here in Canada we look at our options and think "America is so much better, I wish we had an option to vote for a doddering fool. All we have are narcissists"
No joke I wish we had a leader as good as Biden. The bar is so low that the devil is doing the limbo with it down in Hell.
No I would definitely vote for trudeau a 100 times over before Biden, and we have at least 3 choices in almost every riding. We don't have to worry about gerrymandering and voters reform while unlikely is at least a topic mainstream politicians will tall about.
Comparing ourselves too much to the states is why canada is the mess it is, it's still no contest with the states.
Your family is in our neighbourhood and in this domestic dispute I'm just wondering if I need to call the police or the abundance.
Who's driving that ambulance?
In America, you can’t call just one—you’ll still get police if you ask for an ambulance.
Source: am American, have tried calling for only an ambulance before.
We call an ambulance we get fire dept first responders, then an ambulance if you need it. Never got the police, and we have done it many times with my father in law with heart issues.
.... And I live in Tulsa
Did they charge an extra $10k for the police?
Indeed, the person in the ambulance went bankrupt. I’m not even kidding.
I say this as an American: maybe start making friends with the other countries because we are not gonna be okay whatever happens.

Both? One of these guys is a convicted felon turned robber baron and the other is a retirement home escapee who has lost the light in their eyes.
Unfortunately, when America farts we're all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that's rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.
America wants Europeans to stay out of American business
I don't. Please send help!
It's not that us outsiders like to watch your elections closely. But we need to since they're gonna have a big impact on the world we live in, whether we like to admit it or not.
British politics are funnier anyway.
I don't get why Lord bucket head didnt get more votes
yeah but your family seems to make your problems our problems so we wanna know just how fucked we are.
As a french person we have bigger fishes to fry lmao 😂 (I might live in a fascist state soon™)
As an American, I feel ya.
I will keep repeating this, Biden will be the reason Trump gets reelected. If he loves his country he needs to leave right fucking now. Democrats like him and Clinton are addicted to power. Bernie Sanders could have beaten Trump in both election but the democrats circles of power made sure to get the candidate they wanted. Old fool.
We're so fucked it's absolutely insane.
I thought Trump had a chance before, but now... My god Biden embarrassed the shit out of himself... Fuck the goddamn DNC for condemning us by REFUSING to have primaries... Yeah it's the tradition because usually the incumbent has a chance, but 90472828 year old Biden? Ffs...
Yes Trump is old too but it was plain as day how much more lucid trump is than biden...
This might be a hot take but any leadership selection where candidates are ranked in terms of how lucid they are is a bad time for all involved.
Yeah, I mean we're like lobsters being slow boiled.
This whole situation is mad, but it feels plausible because it's been ratcheted up so gradually.
Can you imagine the country's reaction if they say this 2 decades ago?
