What Happened in Biden’s High-Stakes ABC Interview?
The president looked and sounded better than he did in the debate, but repeatedly dismissed and denied widespread concerns about him and his campaign.
Personal commentary: reading the summary (I did not watch the interview live), I’m not really seeing anything that assuages my concerns about his mental acuity. More importantly, I’m not seeing anything that indicates he’s being anything even close to as pragmatic as Macron is being with the election they’re doing now in France, with regards to just trying to make sure the fascists do not fucking win. I must admit I’m feeling quite pessimistic about things.
This is like watching a slow-rolling horror movie where we are all screaming at characters not to go into the basement alone. I hate this time line so very much.
His line of where he would be at peace if he lost to Donald Trump "as long as I gave it my all" is the most concerning to me.
That shows a complete lack of awareness of the stakes of the election. If he causes the Democrats to lose, they might go after him themselves in anger at this point. Trump wouldn't have to send him to the gulag.
For real - I read that line, paused for a moment, and said aloud: “oh my god we are so fucked”.
I’m like… not confident at all about how this is going to go.
I think it's apparent Trump will win to anyone who's honest unless something big happens.
Biden only loses support. Trump only gains support.
Its not a question about what should happen, we have to live in a reality of what will happen.
