Also I am wondering, (not that it’s a good idea) but Biden could have taken some kind of meds similar to dopamine and it would have awakened him more, meaning he would be more verbal. But I think he was set up by the party, cause traditionally we have debates somewhere in September and not that early. I think they on purposely threw him over the bus to make a deal that he needs to be replaced. Cause even this January when he gave state of the Union, (I didn’t watch back then but just watched now to compare) he is like day and night different. To me it was kinda done on purse to throw him under bus, I mean the entire world speaks now how bad his performance was. I am sure they could have done so much better, that is not an excuse. He was at his worse. But at @Vibes may be right he may be getting closer to death, especially with such stressful position he is having. And also the aftermath when he meet his wife Jil and she is treating him like a kid that he answered every question, added more to the wound showing that his mental state goes to childhood, that was extremely extra, and dems are the ones to blame unless they really want to get rid of him.

@Leo Gura is right, presidents don’t have so much power as everyone thinks and it’s other departments that really run the show, they are more of representing the country. So I would not worry for Trump to win. Besides it’s the state department that makes all decision anyways.

Now as far as RFK goes, usually I would say there are no chances of winning, but this maybe the only time that he can actually win, as most people don’t like neither Trump or Biden. I would say at this stage of the game he may have really high chances of winning. However, the deep state or whatever you call, they throw monkey wrench at him and he gets hard time. Like for example the CNN did not allowed him to participate in debates, I think he would have beat both of them. Also many were focused on Biden, but Trump wasn’t his best neither, if you remember back in 2020, he was so much more energetic.

I thought the same thing, it was interesting how across the board, the left media all denounced him instantly which felt like they had been given the green light to do so.

And it was done relatively fast, like within minutes he was denounced. I don’t know why but I was not surprised for some reason. Seems even like conspiracy. 
I personally don’t like when things like that happen against democratically elected people. I would have also been upset if they would have done against Trump, like substitute him. That’s the entire point of elections, you give voice to the public so respect their decisions. What I am afraid is that the Democratic Party will use this as an excuse and will outs him. The only way legally he can leave if he decides so but doing anything else would be a dirty way out, I just hope they would not do that.

I don't regard voting as a tool to virtue signal. I will only vote for those who can reasonably win.

Oh, I never thought it consciously like that,

I'm cool with having Biden step down and find some replacement but I doubt he will do that. It could only happen by Biden's own decision.

I think the Democrats should have a good replacement in case anything happened. A strong leader behind the scenes ready to take the ride in case Biden can't. Many things can happen in the four next years, it's important to think about these kind of questions to saveguard the stability of the country.

the left is just as corrupt as the right. Biden lied just as much as trump in the debate. You think the military industrial complex changes if a democrat or republican is in power? 😁

No it will be the same. Indeed no matter who will be president the course of the country will be the same and don’t let others fool you otherwise.

The country was stupid enough to elect W Bush twice. So we're really just staying consistent.

I easily foresaw Trump's 2016 victory simply because as soon as I saw him run I said to myself, "Yup! Americans are stupid enough to vote for that." And that's really all there is to it.

People keep being surprised by the stupidity, but that's what American politics is based on. This should be obvious from watching Fox News for 30 minutes.

It's like, "Oh... I see... By stupid for stupid. Of course. Got it."

Robert Kennedy is the best option.  Nobody is even close.   Maybe this will give him a chance.

But how are americans this stupid?

 

I just can't fathom, even if you are stupid, how you can't just intuitively see that Trump is a complete charlatan? His entire facial expressions scream snakes-oil salesman and fakeness. The way he stiffens his lips, it's like a life carricature of a sleasy politician pretending to be serious and confident. The way he talks, the way he looks, I mean he is genuinely a complete buffoon on every level.

Bias. Americans are brainwashed with consumer American culture and live in an American bubble. They don't travel. They aren't educated. They have the same level of development as Trump or Bush so they see him as one of their own.

To be fair, other countries and cultures are also stupid in this way. They all fall for nationalist vibes and strongmen. China, India, Hungary, Russia, France, UK, Italy, Brazil, etc.

Remember those C and D students from high school who were ignorant and lazy and sloppy and didn't even try for excellence? Well, there are 100+ million of them and guess who they will be voting for? They couldn't find China on a map if you gave them a million dollars. These people live like animals. They do not think or develop themsleves, they run on group-think. They haven't sat down to contemplate a damn thing in their lives. They do what church or boss or friends tell them. Friends drink, they drink. Like monkeys. This is your average voter. So what can you expect? They have zero understanding of how government works. All they understand is vibes. Own those gay pedo Libs! That is the level of thinking that we're dealing with.

The #1 predictor of whether you will vote for Trump is simply your education level. The more ignorant you are the more appealing Trump appears.

And if you were highly intelligent you would see that Trump is a dangerous degenerate within 5 minutes of hearing him. But of course, no one wants to admit that they are that ignorant. It's too painful, so instead excuses are made for why Trump seems appealing or reasonable.

But the simple truth is that Trump's entire political movement is pure idiocy and depravity. No better than Hitler's relative to his time.

@Leo Gura I think that in addition to that, this is also the desire to be "free" from the establishment many see as oppressive or limited and therefore attracted to somebody who break out of this and make them feel like invincible kids again. That even though the way trump does this is toxic and harmful, still, originally many people appeal to him from this fundamentally wise voice from within them, but of course falls to the the hands of the wrong misleading leader who fulfills this need in an unhealthy way.

Growing up and going to American public school, I was genuinely shocked at how little my fellow classmates knew or care about the rest of the world and other countries, and how almost no-one travelled abroad. I'm Russian, and would frequently travel there during Summers, and my fellow classmates didn't understand me at all when I tried to tell them stories. 

I specifically remember sitting in a Government class, and we were talking about the history of American Saudi relations, and one girl in the class literally didn't know what Saudi Arabia was. Another girl didn't know who Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan were.

Trump is actually very unpopular. Most people don’t vote for him and even a lot of his voters just do it to make the democrats lose.

Many also feel that all the politicians are corrupt so it doesn’t matter that he’s obvious about it.
