To think how on earth can Biden be President

Kamala Harris doesn’t really have enthusiastic supporters in the US. Lots of liberals object to how she handled cases when she was a prosecutor, and lots of conservatives figure she’s a “diversity hire.” Which it appears she is, seeing as Biden, months before picking her as a running mate, announced that whoever he picked would be a black woman.

I haven’t run across anyone who can make a detailed case for Kamala Harris as a politician, strictly on her merits. A couple sentences in, it always turns to the “symbolism” of having a black and Indian woman as VP. When she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, her campaign had little support and little money and she dropped out before the New Hampshire primary (the NH primary being a significant race in the primaries).

Actually no, that was another poster - perhaps you're also getting confused?

I don't get how someone as tarnished and clearly inappropriate as Trump gets near a party nomination

Neither do I, @RhubarbGingerJam, but then that's politics for you - as said, the same politics which sees one candidate rightly charged and the other not

Fuck straight off with your uninformed understanding of the US political system.

So thankful all you non-US armchair "political experts" fuckers can't vote.

Go fix your own shit - it's a fucking MESS.

It's a shame that he doesn't seem to have someone looking out for him, because at this stage it just looks cruel to keep putting him on the world stage while he is so clearly struggling.

I'm surprised there aren't routine competency tests (from a medical pov) that a president has to undertake. There should be certain conditions that bar someone from being president or are reason to relieve them if diagnosed during their presidency. It seems a fairly important safeguard to me. Is that not the case?

At least she’s young and female though. And a good role model!

Biden looks like he’s about to drop dead any minute and Trump isn’t even worthy of any discussion.

Why cant the entirety of the USA produce anything better than these two?! Basically Biden is opening the door to Trump voters. Which is proper scary.

Is there really nobody that can take him to one side and persuade him not to run again? It’s quite astonishing

That's why I mentioned his loved ones, @Clearinguptheclutter
No doubt it suits the appalling Hunter to have dad right where he is, but it's hard to believe his own wife wouldn't at least try to persuade him that this isn't sensible, even though it's getting a bit late for that election-wise

Or maybe he can't be persuaded - who knows?

Oh, hey...

I don't get how someone as tarnished and clearly inappropriate as Trump gets near a party nomination.

However doesn't change problem the Biden is in clear decline - physically and increasingly mentally - and its showing to a world wide audience and denials just make the democrats look foolish.

Nikki Haley has vowed to forge ahead with her White House campaign after a humiliating defeat in the Republican primary in Nevada.
She received fewer votes than "None of these candidates" by a large margin on Tuesday, despite facing no competition in the absence of Donald Trump.

...
"Republicans keep doing the same thing and getting the same result: chaos," she wrote. "That's the definition of insanity."
She listed three major developments this week, including the news that the party's chairwoman had offered to resign in a meeting with Mr Trump, the party's inability to pass legislation in the House of Representatives and a court's finding that Mr Trump does not have immunity from prosecution.
"A vote for Trump is a vote for even more chaos," she wrote.

She's not wrong - manages with her digs at Biden and Trump ages to act like a politician takings - and is getting undermined by her own party.

Me too 🫣
God help America because these two can’t!

Idiot. :)

You jumped right to Taylor being President, which is a fucked up, "coping", response.

I think there should be an age limit for who can be leader of a country.

Quite. WTH is the Democratic Party smoking?

I didn't mention "coping" FrannieSaid, so not sure where that's come from?

I have read many of the documents though, but then fortunately I don't use Twitter, the reliance on which says so much

And it won't be me losing directly, since I'm only in the US 6/12 months and don't have a vote. Sadly, though, I feel America will lose no matter which of these horrors it elects

He's Revolting as a person and dangerous as President. For Americans and the world.

Oooh my dd would love this🙌🙌🙌

I’d love it too.

Completely agree. He is dreadfully unsuitable for ANY job, let alone president! How was he even in the running, in the first place?!

Well, that's super stupid.

Not relying on "Swifties", but welcoming them into the tent.

Turns out, young women don't like having their rights taken away.

That doesn't mean Taylor should LEAD THE COUNTRY, lol.

Amusing how y'all jump to absurdity when faced with the fact your positions are WILDLY unpopular.

Cope harder. :)

Orange and Biden both too old.
Orange is a lying insurrectionist and has committed sexual assaults.

@maudelovesharold

Just read your post about those on MN - best post for a long time but not true.
Many here to seek gudiance, help, nothing wrong with that

Biden, yes, I agree.

It's NOT Bidens fault but the fault of those that voted him in and more so the people that are defending him and putting the people of the USA at risk of becoming a life long mockery

Biden is good both physically and mentally for his age and to allow him to contine is not helpful to him or the nation but I blame those that are propping him up.

Credit where credit is due as at lest he won't almost bankrupt the country unlike the previous person i number 10.

is there really nobody that can take him to one side and persuade him not to run again? It’s quite astonishing.
if the democrats can’t come up with a decent alternative to Biden, Trump will win the election

If the “Swifties” are what you’re relying on, then why not bypass Biden and have Taylor Swift for president?

Basically the same thing.
