'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panic
The president often had a weak, raspy voice during his first debate against Trump, in what Democrats had hoped would be a turning point in the race.

You're viewing a single thread.
that was the worst fucking thing i've seen on tv in my life. holy shit that was depressing. yet it feels incredibly vindicating seeing every single media outlet openly say 'that was a disaster, he should probably be out'. that was an absolute failure. rescheduling the debate would look better than that shit.
Suburbanite eggs? I hate that elitest shit! Also, didn't Mark Russell die last year?
I think he died before we beat Medicare.
I'm not sure what that means. I believe he died last summer.
the take away from social media is fascinating, especially on the lemmyverse: the pejorative stores about biden's performance are everywhere online and tv, but heavily downvoted on .world while the rest of the lemmyverse is much more closely matched with everything else in the world.
seeing every single media outlet openly say 'that was a disaster, he should probably be out.’
So it should be easy to source a couple of them saying that, right?
you're quibbling about sources after that?

The debate wasn’t that bad and none of those articles contained the quote you used.
It's very important not to practice self-deception in these kind of things
Why would democrats start now? They're acting exactly like they did with Clinton and are expecting different results.
It was painful to watch. You go in wanting to watch Biden look strong and smart, and he came out looking sort of senile and slow. Trump might have told all lies but he still looked and sounded sharper than Biden and that is what people will use to make a decision.
💯
I think you may have been watching the wrong debate
There was a 12 point swing towards Trump in the before and after CNN flash poll. That's bad. That's wake everyone up and reef the sails because an out of season hurricane blew up on us bad.
I have a lot of trouble considering anything from polls/surveys being accurate, considering in my 30 years, I’ve never been asked for my input on one.
Who are they asking? (No way it’s a curated group who’s likely to answer in a specific way to create drama in the media right?)
It's actually not a curated group, as long as you're looking at reliable polls. In about a week a bunch of universities will release new head to head preference polling based on large diverse groups. Meanwhile we have to make do with push polls and media polls.
