Comment by sh__@lemmy.world on it's a big deal jack

To be fair Biden has had a stutter for all his life. How quiet he was and with everything going on it didn’t look good though. I wish we could have different candidates. I’m not sure if this will change anyone’s vote or not though.

I was considering voting for Biden. I’ve never voted before. I think after seeing all this though the only way I’ll vote for Biden is if my dad votes for Trump just so I can cancel his vote out lol

Voting for Biden is not voting for the man, it’s voting for an ideology, for hope, for a future less grim. Vote for Biden.

Those are the same reasons people use to vote for Trump. I’m around it all the time. People on both sides are voting out of fear of the other side. Reason and reality are no longer relevant in politics. Only fear.

“I wouldn’t be affected by project 2025 so there’s no reason for me to care”

Just be honest dude.

Again. That was my point! Fear is controlling us.

Buddy you can go read it yourself. You won’t, because you erroneously think it won’t affect you, but you can.

Okay, but one side uses fear to roll out voting rights while the other takes those same rights away. Fear isn’t controlling all of us because it is up to us in how we respond.

Okay, what does that have to do with voting?

In current politics: Fears=Votes.

That is the American way. If that is not clear, I can elaborate. But I’m pretty sure you can see it in every comment telling you why to vote a certain way.

And are you not afraid? I fucking am

Because they have a very public plan to completely restructure the government to make Trump a dictator and the US a theocracy. This isn’t normal. They’re openly telling us they’re going to do that.

If you’re not afraid, you’re either trying really hard to not pay attention, or you just hate America and want it to fall.

Honestly that’s overselling Biden and their own pitch is you are voting against ending democracy. Biden isn’t going to make the future less grim (unless we protest), but Trump would certainly make it worse.

He absolutely is making the future less grim. The industry news I read for my work in the energy industry is full of progress in environmental regulation. It’s a fight vs Republicans and Biden is really making progress.

What progress will you have to make if Biden who has been polling 40/40 or 39/41 loses to Trump? It may be less grim (if he can win) but it is much more likely to be grim if Democrats don’t take their heads out of the sand and consider nominating someone actually able to handle a debate against Trump.

If you like the ability to vote then there’s only one choice my man.

I’ve got more uncles than my siblings and I can cancel out - wanna help us? :P

You should vote regardless if your dad does or who your dad votes for.

Please consider just doing it either way.

To be fair Biden has had a stutter for all his life.

That gets repeated a lot, but I think the people who think that’s a good enough excuse have not actually seen middle aged Biden speak.

The Biden of that video has some incredible charisma, but he has nothing to do with the person today.

Can you imagine a president like that, even Obama wasn’t close to that level of eloquence and charisma. Every president in my lifetime has been a joke, to mirror the circus in every tent in DC.

It is obvious age has effected his ability to communicate. I suppose it’s just something to keep in mind, not an excuse. Like I said before, I wish we had younger candidates on both sides. I think most people didn’t want this rematch. The person in that video would have been great, but we only have what’s left of that now.

Joe should’ve told ‘em how he really felt.

Wow, I’m impressed. Thanks for sharing that.

It for sure will, republicans have been ripping critical thinking out from the educational system since Reagan. In fact, it looks like they got a hold of journalists first.

it looks like they got a hold of journalists

Republicans understood that that they must control the news in order to control the people. Problem is that they made the “news” into a dumpster of lies. They are now going after education. Idiocracy, here we come.

They found they just need to accuse the media of treating them unfairly, and they’ll fall in line to avoid looking biased, ironically becoming biased in the process.

Also Idiocracy would be an improvement because Komacho literally put the smartest man in the world in charge
