Political Memes

Right? And sure the debate wasn't good but it was also better after the first 10 minutes. And now the media is all over Biden and again amplifying trump. The Dems are infighting while Putin and xi put their feet up and laugh.

In music class, my teacher had an analogy he'd bring up occasionally: the trashy, beat-up truck on the block could be rolled down a hill sans-driver and you'd hardly noticed a difference. On the pristine rolls royce, though, the smallest imperfection would be glaring.

He was using it as an illustration that, even as we got better, it would just be more important to put the effort in, but I feel it applies well here, too. Trump is covered in so much shit, it's difficult to focus on any particular issue of his. And while Biden's far from spotless, his errors stand out so much more that he basically needs to be perfect or he gets picked apart by his own side.

The fact that I know more about US politics than my own country's politics shows what's wrong with US politics and social media.

It also shows how large and reactive the Russian troll farms are. Look at how busy they’ve been here just today.

And it’s going to get a lot worse.

The fact that people don't remember the vast amount of news reports on women accusing Trump shows exactly the limits of democracy.

With all the sources we have these days, information is easy to find and is available from a lot of different perspectives. It's easy to apply critical thinking by comparing different accounts of the same story. But still, people feel that forming an opinion is not their responsibility, and blame the media.

Democracy only works when a majority of people take the time to think about their vote.

We already know Trump is abominable. But tons of people still fall for him… so we want someone who has the strength to defeat him… It’s not complicated. Biden needs to stand aside and give Dems the best chance we can get.

Posting about pedophilia on social media gets you deboosted, shadowbanned, etc. Don't know if it's by design, however tech giants love governments that want to remove regulations.

Also the fact that I'm hearing more about how Biden is unprepared to run as president for having a bad debate night while being an incredibly run-of-the-mill and mild president over the last 4 years while still incumbent is also a thing.

Seems like the debate really loosened a few screws all around.

"grab them by the pu**y"

But he mumbled and stuttered!

...what? One of those things happened on national television, and the other happened on a secret pedophile island. Why would you expect to have equal knowledge about those events?

But it sounds like she definitely does know more about the second thing though

Does anyone have the text of recently released Epstein files? I found the PDF scans but want to be able to Ctrl+F for "Trump"

I absolutely don't understand why a TV debate of two people has any influence on who will be in the office for the most powerful political position in the world. Neither does the format fit the importance, nor should the public opinion be based on a few hours of a conversation with an opponent.

Let alone that one person/the executive branch should not hold that much power and a direct vote for the president seems like an awful way to try to get a qualified person into office.

Excellent point!
