He isn't anywhere near as incompetent as Trump.
He is in a different way.
He is clearly not anywhere near as sharp as he was as obamas vp, which paints a picture of obvious cognitive decline.
He’s hardly be hounded for his treatment of women and young girls in the way trump was.
He hasn’t been hounded for racism, although he clearly is racist as seen by the way he belittled the intellect of Africa Americans in the election.
He has however emboldened nato to push into Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, despite a total lack of confidence globally in US leadership.
Hes incompetent at best and the “deep state “ can go back to doing whatever they please, that’s why the media gives him a free pass.

Running for President is a decent test of cognitive ability.

The difference is Trump has dozens of sexual assault claims on him, Biden has 1 from 1993.

Biden may have had some racist gaffes, but his policies aren't racist nor has he even made sustained racist comments like the Obama Birth Certificate conspiracy.

I think it would be fair to say that one guy is definitely in cognitive decline and it seems ridiculous that he is being allowed to be the western worlds most powerful figure. His predecessor may have been in decline but even if he wasn't, then there is the obvious question as to how someone who "appears" to not have his faculties about him and a general refusal to even pretend that he cares about anything outside of his own little empire, was allowed to be in charge for 4 years. In both cases you could point the finger at the Dem's as pure incompetence (for both blokes) and the republicans for 1 guy. Its a complete s...tshow over there. What a disaster of a country.

Imagine if the media actually pursued Biden for his incompetence any where near as hard as they pursued trump.
I imagine if Trump had been capable of operating and communicating like a functional adult the media wouldn't have pursued him anywhere near as hard ¯\(ツ)

Like yeah, be the most toxic divisive w***er you can be while expressly and specifically denigrating the media at every opportunity - and then be surprised that you don't get the same baseline run in the press as other POTUS' who didn't do that. Utterly perplexing :tearsofjoy:

Why even have elections in November when there's a possibility of turning over power to a fascist GOP? Elections can only happen between two parties that are playing by the rules.
In order to prevent fascism, we need to cancel elections? Vintage lethality!

I know it can sound counter intuitive but that's the nuclear option when there's actual fascists on the other side who only accept election results when they win and incite sedition when they don't.

People forget the Bier Hall Putsch far too easily. Then again, locking them up didn't really stop anything, so what can you do??

Some kind of martial law might be the last resort to hold onto power until the GOP can reform. I expect or demand that this occurs at least as a last resort. After watching the Democrats, including Cheney and Kitzinger give up on electoral rights bill, idk what to expect anymore. That seemed like a nobrainer to me

Until then maybe the current DOJ investigations , or the 14th Amendment to make sure certain people can't hold office again.

Martial Law and you've already lost your democracy and that Martial arm is likely to be waayy more authoritarian and fascist than the GOP.

I agree, it seems that the populace and at least one party in the USA has given up on Democracy. Seems like it's in a death spiral of
more corruption - > more voting manipulation (gerrymandering, state voting laws) -> more corruption

By the end it'll just be corruption and voter manipulation. Dont' think they'll bother with opinion polls by the end of it.

You guys gotta be trollin'. A few thousand nutters storm the capitol once, prior to power being successfully handed over... so they should cancel the next election and disenfranchise ~50% of voters?

I agree, can't do that.

But also, what's the response when those few thousand nutters almost succeeded in overthrowing democracy and their political backers also went un-punished?

Try this. If Biden loses, Antifa idiots do exactly the same thing cheered on by Pelosi, what do you think the punishment should be? What do you think Fox News will be calling for?

This is not hypothetical, they should be planning for this eventuality regardless of who wins. The wet-paper response to Jan 6th will only embolden those on both sides who think violence will solve their problems.

The few thousand nutters are just the tip of the spear, the consequence of election lies and seditious conspiracy. If the election is postponed it's because the GOP currently won't honour the results unless they win. That's the real threat. Idk what the point would be in having elections against such a mob. It's like betting your house against someone but the bet is only honoured if you lose. Except its much higher stakes.

Many state legislatures are setting the scene for overturning and changing election results and appointing their own electors to the Electoral College. All they have to do, say in Arizona, is void the results from Maricopa County while an audit is undertaken for 6 months. In the meantime, they appoint their own electoral college based on the other results (i.e. GOP win).

Do this in 3 states (Carolinas, Arizona) and you've just rigged the election against the wishes of voters. This is happening right now.

Do you call it Democracy when 3 states rig their laws so that the majority can't possibly win?
