Seems lying and making misleading claims arent exclusive to Republicans. His whole speech was filled with both.

Fact check: Biden's midterms message includes false and misleading claims (msn.com) (CNN)

Or maybe they were all just gaffes? To me, it just reeks of desperation.
No . . . I think you're looking for something deliberate when it is obviously hap-hazard, given his residual speech impediment and varied polish of his performance between impromptu and teleprompter. By contrast, Trump labors over the teleprompter, evidenced by his breathing and long inhalations. He can only do impromptu presentations best, and they are way out of bounds for being rude, brazenly false, or just stupid. Biden, on the other hand, might even be able to conceptualize the real mathematical relations and numbers he cites or comments, but the translation to speech is more abbreviated or contains simple omissions that would otherwise qualify them and defeat the criticism.

As for desperation, just about any responsible citizen with common sense should be desperate now. Too much of any Chief Executive's time is spent on campaigning, and people like Trump and certain congressmen just blew all their time on it instead of tending to their responsibilities. Obviously, Biden has to work harder, while his keen staff are looking at successive poll results as they struggle with infrequent voters or the smorgasbord-clueless.

Either a lot of young people not counted as "likely voters" will swell the ballot boxes and disprove the polls, or we are all terribly [blank]ed. And you'd still be a victim despite the generally reported delusions afoot.

Maybe I'm just tired for 12:26PM, as opposed to a weariness for just having to review this history. But be my guest.

So why did you make a thread about it?

It's like he can't tell the difference between a literal dog turd and a piece of cheese with a blemish of mold on it which you can just slice off and the rest is fine. I mean the GQP is literally a steaming nasty pile of dog turd. The Democrats are a bunch of somewhat flawed dairy or fruit products which you can still consume safely. Try eating that steaming nasty pile of dog turd. But the GQP love dog shit apparently. Turds love turds.

Ah right. The time honored tradition of yeah my guy is bad but not as bad as the other guy.
So I missed this thread and I can't be arsed to read all of it so this might have been addressed.

What's actually wrong with voting for 'my guy' when "my guy is bad but not as bad as the other guy"?

You're picking the best guy yeah? Well the least worst guy is by definition the best guy.

This happens every once in a while. The MEGA around here stay well hidden, and stay silent, but we know they are lurking because... they show their face when they smell victory. They came out in 2016 after Trump won, and in 2020 not so much, and now we have a "perceived" MEGA victory looming and again they expose themselves.
What does this mean? I don't know... It's just weird.

I don't see victory until I've seen the results after November 8. For me, it's not a victory of the Democratic Party, but a victory of Moral Choice. They can fret about abortion, about inflation, about Ukraine, about any number of things. But it's either a Moral Choice of someone else who hasn't been a lifelong criminal walking between the raindrops of Justice, or vacant, clueless fawning over a sociopathic, aspiring autocrat. And I obviously say this about a midterm election, but the GOP agenda is clear. One has to play it as an adversarial game, because you don't just get your smorgasbord choices with an extremist party who insist on having it all their way.

The MAGA seem all worked up about "crime" as well as inflation. Well, I'm pretty worked up about crime: blackmailing a foreign leader to interfere in our election; misprision of treason or misprision of a felony; conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election; tax fraud; violation of elections laws; too many numerous other crimes. So . . . WHAT ABOUT CRIME?! WHAT ABOUT PUNISHMENT?! WHAT ABOUT ATONEMENT?!

One US political party lies and exaggerates and is hypocritical, just like every other political party in the western world.

The other US political party is attempting to deny election results and has fully supported a President who attempted to overturn an election using violence.

BothSidesDoIt™

Fucking instant classic among right-wing authoritarians.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to pretend like you have integrity I guess. Good job not 100% supporting the fascists. You're a real class act. A modern day hero.

Stretching the truth is something most politicians will do.

Which is something that needs to stop. IMO every statement that an elected politician makes on the record should be considered as punishable if it's not truthful.

While I strongly believe that the culture of bending the truth and lying in politics is what allowed the likes of Trump and Boris Johnson to get as far as they did, I frankly think it's absolutely fucking ridiculous for @blackangst1 to say that "Biden has resorted to Trump tactics", because there are two big problems with what Trump does: 1) his lies are so transparent and fucking stupid, like the Great Mexican Rapist Conspiracy, that no-one with an intellect/honesty worthy of any respect could possibly believe this crap and 2) if called out, Trump would just double-down, spout more insane BS or attack the person rightfully calling him out to the point that calling him out was entirely pointless. I'm sure that Biden is lying sometimes, but I'm also sure that if called out on it, he / his admin would respond in a way that makes calling it out worthwhile, so the media pursuing truth and holding authority accountable isn't nigh-on a complete waste of time.

So why did you make a thread about it?

I'm gonna guess its because he's trying to justify why he turns out to be a lying sack of shit and voted for Kari Lake and multiple other 2020 Election deniers, because goddamnit Biden made him vote Republican!

I’m glad blackangst finally cares about facts. It’s just too bad it took a democrat administration to get him there. I look forward to future posts by him where he points out other false or misleading claims by other politicians. I’m sure we’ll see quite a few covering Republican lies as well because blackangst isn’t a partisan hack, right blackangst?
Correct. I could start locally, but meh. I voted mostly D for state positions this time. The R candidates are just...way out there.

Because Biden is the current POTUS. Ive made my opinion of Biden very clear.

You also made your opinion of election deniers very clear.
Again, will you make a meaningful vote against the chief election denier in 2024?
Or does your bias against Biden mean you'll vote for an election denier or throw your vote away on a third party candidate guaranteed to lose (which is really a vote for the election denier)?

Not by a long shot.

You yourself claimed to accept that election denialism was the single most dangerous lie, The red line you wouldn't cross. That you would vote in a way to ensure they wouldn't win.

What do YOU think? Not as bad as the election denial king?

You didn't vote for any independent candidate in AZ, did you? You voted for Hobbs? Why?

View attachment 70484
Yes I voted for Hobbs. Why? 1. Shes not an election denier. 2. Her view on education. 3. She's pro-choice. 4.She's a strong proponent of REAL border protection. i.e more funding for border patrol and border sherrifs. Supports providing dreamers a patch to citizenship. 5. She supports expanding voting ballot access. (Although I disagree with her on allowing former felons the right to vote). 6. AZ is one of a few states with no laws on the books to provide protection from price guagine. She wants to change that. 7. She wants to start state-wide negotions my allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

Those are just a few. I dont agree with everything she proposes, but these are all important to me.

And again. When you have a choice of Biden vs Trump in 2024 are you going to make a MEANINGFUL vote against the single most dangerous election denialist? The source of it all? The motherfucking ringleader?

Probably not according to most here. I wont vote for either.

I hope youre not saying its EITHER rich people/corporations OR middle class. Are you? I mean, sure...the Trump tax cuts benifitted the rich. But it also benifitted the middle class.

\IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most (yahoo.com) (The Hill)

Comrade Justin failed to mention what happens when those tax cuts for the middle and low income classes expire while the highest income brackets cuts do not. Oh well, just an oversight. But hey, that <$1500/year is a win for anyone earning under $119k per year.

You call it throwing away my vote. I call it voting for a candidate whose p[inions mean the most to me. I dont play the "vote against a candidate". I play "vote for the best candidate IMHO'.
