Indeed. If a candidate cannot stand up to some online scrutiny, I can’t see there being much hope.

Reform is currently eating into the Labour vote in huge amounts also (thus far, we’ve only seen expected Labou results thus far).

Trump is likely going to win, the sooner you accept that the sooner you stop whining that people are engaging in civil discussion over a massive fucking mistake waiting to happen: running a feeble old guy who is likely to pop his clogs soon, who voters will avoid because of his poor performance in front of millions of people.

It isn’t.

What part is bullshit?

What’s the formula/ratio? Didn’t know there was one like this.

Isn’t 1,000 usually the benchmark?

After he learnt to overtly treat it like a cruel game, he knew he stood a chance. He barely blinks and people lap it up.

It even says that he hadn’t been out of the country in the two weeks prior. Very odd they would come out with this since they know this information is available.

The vitriol from people ignoring the fact he looks completely fucked is bizarre. Why are people supporting someone with one foot in the grave?

Why are you angry? Who is a troll, Yahoo?

If you want to see somebody tap dancing, go to Broadway.

What part of any of my posts has suggested I need entertainment?

No one is saying Biden came off looking like he did well, many in politics have admitted it went badly:

Yup. Insignificant performing pundits.

I’d suggest not ignoring this, but then we are insignificant. Actual politicians are saying this is worrying.

Calls for biden to step down are not significant in the real world, they are baseless epithets repeated on the internet by anonymous strangers or established conservatives.

They may not be “significant”, but you have political commentators (see: The Rest is Politics, former British MPs, a commentator and Scaramucci) thinking it would be for the best.

You may not think it is important that Biden is struggling to string answers together, but I assure you that the public does, of which tens of millions will have come out of it thinking: shit, the Republican cries that Biden has lost it will ring true.

I think your last comment is misconstruing what a lot of people think; I do not have any opinions because of trolls, I have only posted a few times here and spoke to a couple of friends (and listened to The Rest is Politics) about it… it does not look good at all.

He is older than my grandparents than when they passed away, and is less coherent than my grandma was, by far. There is no reason he should be in this position, the Democrats need someone better who can articulate themselves (regardless of any stutter, that is not what I’m referring to) and respond to things they have practiced on in mock debates behind closed doors.

The more this goes on the worse this gets for Biden; September is going to be very worrying for the next debate.

I watched the first ten minutes of the ‘debate’ and had had enough.

I don’t know how many watched the ones prior and subsequent to this, but… 68m people (if I remember rightly) watched this.

The past four years don’t mean much for the forthcoming election at the end of the year when the concerns of people are not being addressed, by someone who struggles to walk and speak coherently.

There are plenty of people worried about this, and calls for him to step down are significant. If he’s like this now, what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s? This does not look good.

You can say: the past four years! as much as you like, it won’t matter if Biden loses, which is a more realistic prospect than it was last week.

He did just fine, and there was nothing incoherent about it

He really didn’t from what I saw, it was awful.

A little bit, he sounded less insane than usual; don’t be surprised if he’s voted in again, with this seen as one of the pivotal reasons why.

Fair. Initial impressions can be damning.

I’m not commenting on the four years, I’m not American, but on what I saw. It was not a pretty sight. “pretty well…” isn’t a great measure, is it? Not many are saying he came out looking well

Really? He shuffled on and was so incoherent I was shocked. I turned it off after ten minutes as it was embarrassing to watch. They need someone better.

I don’t know what Xcode is so yeah, I haven’t been found wanting with my 8GB M2. Videos, downloading, web browsing, writing, chat applications, some photo editing, games (what I can actually play on a Mac, anyway), all good here.

16GB+ is obviously going to be necessary though, and not exactly that expensive to put into their base models so it should be put in soon.
