They lied, browbeat, deflected, slandered, gaslit, and treated with the most sickening condescension everyone who warned them over and over that this would happen. If it weren't for the genocide, this would the purest and most concentrated schadenfreude I've ever felt, cocaine-like in it's tangibility. Now begins I Fucking Told You So Season.

Fuck liberals, they tried to get us to "tactically" support ethnic cleansing to win a fucking election, and they're gonna lose that too! Good going you bloodless sensless freaks, you put on the armband and seig heil'd in front of the whole world for nothing!

I'm watching A(ustralian)BC coverage of it and there's a vibe of "he's actually going to lose to Trump." He's failed to pass the bar of "looking functional" and has actually managed to look bad vs a guy who literally just made shit up and started rambling about golf.

Incredible reality TV.

Yeah I genuinely think it is Joever for him after tonight, I've never watched a debate where all the immediate post-debate coverage chyrons are like "Should Incumbent drop out??" LMAO

me putting on the conspiracy theory hat and wildly gesturing like a crank

What if the DNC purposely never wanted Biden but waited until after it was too late for primaries so they can handpick the actual candidate they want at the DNC convention and purposely pushed him to have a debate with Trump knowing that Biden would eat shit?

I’m honestly shocked they’re admitting how bad he was, I was expecting them to do some shit like say that he’s normally cognizant and just forgot to have a balanced breakfast this morning

we need someone with experience

The political history nerd in me is honestly finding this really fascinating to be witnessing right now. Seeing liberal pundits saying that Biden needs to step down before the convention, reading all of the articles about it, etc. This might be one of those things that gets talked about in Presidential history 50 years from now, how abysmal Joe Biden was as a president and how his own party could no longer deny how unfit he was to remain as president (4 months before the election lmao).

It's her turn

Kamala was live on CNN about 30 minutes ago with Anderson Cooper. She was trying to save face and Anderson Cooper interrupted her. Anderson told Kamala that Biden's performance at the debate was a disaster and a train wreck.

I'm honestly surprised to see that CNN is negatively covering Biden.

They need to bring in someone with a proven track record of standing up to Trump. Like someone who can get people to Pokémon go to the polls.

and when the world needed him most, he disappeared

There's video of Jill Biden talking to him like a dog saying like "Who did good and answered all those questions tonight?"

It's so bad, folks. I hate the man, but this is so depressing. It's straight up elder abuse.

Watching some people I know have live meltdowns as they were confronted with the reality of this living corpse as their nominee has been fucking hilarious

Watching them consider if RFK should take over was even funnier

I was pessimistic about the debate, but it was a fair deal funnier than I expected. I think Biden said something about cutting a black child in half.

Knowing the DNC, they’d want a candidate to the right of Biden. It’s time.

They were never planning on running Biden in November. If they did joebiden.com would have said what his platform is, and it does not, even now. Gavin Newsom's nomination is imminent, right?

Edit: They actually added the Issues tab today, there is an archive of the site from today without it. Maybe they can reuse it

Here's how Bernie can still win

It’s amazing to me that democrats can watch a genocide for nine months, and do nothing but make excuses, but one debate with grandpa has them freaking out. I didn’t even watch the debate. Anyone invested in that guy before the debate was just as cooked as he is. I just caught a few clips and spent a few minutes laughing through hexbear’s reactions, as is proper.

It’s so weird how literally nothing changed we learned nothing new but tons of libs coming out of the woodwork for no Biden now. Winds of change are here but obviously nothing good will happen

Now I subjected myself to some reaction from "professional" analyst, I kinda think that this was a hitjob and a coup.

Usually, the first "hot" take by analyst on the network hosting the debate is the most important. John King of CNN, right after the debate ends immediately goes on "panic among Democratic party." Then everyone on the panel, Van Jones, David Axelrod, Alyssa Griffin, all took turn burying the shiv, with nothing positive to say. These people are not that brave, and they have been gaslighting people for 6 years (ever since Biden started running in '18 he's been mentally compromised). Same with MSNBC, Rachel Maddow asked Alex Wagner and she immediately also said that the reaction was negative. Joy Ann Reid piled on and said Joe Biden don't have the stamina. The replacement headline then immediately made it to NYT front page, opinion piece, and now repeated by all major outlets. These people didn't went through the denial, anger, bargaining stage, they all within 1 1/2 hr debate go to acceptance in unison.

Summary of the average democrat's evening:

Google trends: "Open Convention"

I wonder how the Europeans are doing? They sacrificed their economy for this guy and the other guy was talking about dismantling NATO during his presidency. I'm sure they're all feeling wonderful in their decisions.

Democrats in charge don't want to win, they're not replacing him. They don't want to give concessions to anyone, best way to avoid accountability is to lose

BLUEMAGA is in shambles right now.

Well, this is hilarious. Neo-liberal propagandists and paid shills all over the Internet are literally panicking right now. And, yeah, the ultra-corrupt "Democratic" Party political machine trying to force us all to vote for a clearly senile old war criminal was obviously a lousy idea on their part.

Jill Stein and Cornel West need to ramp up their presidential campaigns. This year should be great for left-wing opposition candidates! :-)
