    This was an astroturfing campaign covering our media and also via bots on social media.

    I watched the debate and while he was slower, and mixed up words he actually was aware of US goals and challenges (despite what media tried to imply), trump was more energetic but he was constantly spewing nonsense, and while part of it was lying as usual, part of it was clear that he was actually getting lost.

    I even wrote that in certain that if Biden steps down the same bots will start campaign how Democrats were cheated to discourage them from voting (like it was worth Bernie).

    I’m definitively voting for Kamala now no matter what ridiculous bullshit they will come up on her on September-October (you can be sure there will be some scandal that will turnout to be nothing burger after election). I got fooled (like a lot of people) in 2016 to vote 3rd party and we got trump.

    Republicans are actually a minority they can only win if they discourage enough people from voting. That’s why they are against laws that that make voting easier.

    I actually was hoping Biden would run as he has great experience with foreign leaders as well as very successful reaching compromises and passing bills that otherwise wouldn’t fly.

    As I say though I will 100% vote for Kamala (or whomever will be the democratic candidate), definitively not the fascist party and in fact anyone on Democrats side looks good.

      So rare to see someone actually say these words outside of pointing the finger at others. Kudos.

      Biden was definitely good.

      It’s a shame he had to compromise though. But it got things pushed through, like you said.

      He’s just too old. Democrats need fresh blood.

      Also, I wonder if that COVID ain’t kicking his ass right now. Being so old, it’s possible he won’t even survive. Who knows.

        He has the best medical help one could get, I don’t think covid would kill him, but I think covid could be what finally made him realize how fragile he is and what would happen if he would die just before the election.
