True but doesn’t change the fact that we need them to vote for Biden and not the easy lying soundbites of Trump’s MAGA. It doesn’t matter what we think; it only matters what they do.

#BlueSky is an echo chamber for #Dems; it’s preaching to the converted and makes not one jot of difference to the #election result. We need to #campaign on enemy territory and in the wider media and press. Not seen a single voter change their minds here.

That’s not what the undecided voters witnessed in the last 30 days. Memories are short. Dems and MAGA will vote in their silos, so no movement there. The undecided vote is key and they haven’t rebelled against Trump’s lies, so don’t rely on that argument. They want a young, dynamic future.

Not ugly; it was utilitarian. It was also relatively fast, given the bandwidth available and to a very large degree, it was ad free and cookies didn’t follow you around spying on your every move. I’d happily give up “pretty” for “private”.

I worked on the #reactor development at #Culham back in the 1980s and back then we were talking about 30 years to finish the job. Looks like it will be at least 50 years.
We need this reactor urgently, so perhaps spend a bit more on it to get a fully #green #energy future?

I’m for #Biden because he’s not #Trump. The #undecided #American voter, however, is moving toward Trump and they are the people that will decide the #election. They are the voters the #candidate needs to appeal to and that is not Biden. We need a new, young, change candidate to win.

#America, this is how it’s done. This is how you remove the #GOP, destroy #MAGA and #elect the next #Democrat #President.
Find a #young, #ethical #candidate who talks of the #future and #change away from the old, tired past. Then you win and win big.

For a #Democrat win, the party needs a #candidate who is considered more than an old man. The #undecideds need someone #young, #dynamic and who remembers the end of their sentences. They need a #change candidate that points to the #future; not the old, tired past.
That gets the win for sure.

The #Presidential #election will not be won by the #MAGA or #Dem base; they’ll vote in their silo. The winner will be determined by the undecideds, who see two old men neither of whom they want.
That’s why the #debate was important and why #Trump gained his six point lead.

Part 4 of the #JonathanPie series on the 2024 #election.
A review of 14 years of #Tory incompetence, lies, neglect, self-serving grifting and simple, outright fraud.
The #Conservatives entire election plan is to say “it will be worse under #Labour”.
Exactly fuckin’ HOW?
How can it get worse?

The recent #SCOTUS ruling opens the way for #Biden to declare the #Trump love-in with #Putin a terrorist threat and send him off to #Guantanamo Bay.
This is a #Presidential act and now lawful.
Trump wouldn’t hesitate to do it but then, that’s the difference between a dictator and a democrat.

All good and excellent content and facts for the intelligent critical thinker. That’s not what MAGA is. It is a cult/religion that replaces reality and evidence with cult doctrine and easy, comforting lies and sound bites. Demolishing Trump at debate is the way to move them and it didn’t happen.

That’s fair enough. I hope I’m wrong but the evidence doesn’t support that view. We need to convert the MAGA followers from the easy sound bites to a higher way and we can’t do that without supplanting the MAGA cult with something clearly better. That requires charisma and good articulation.

I don’t. I hate Trump and all the crap he stands for. The problem is that MAGA is a religion and you need a coherent, strong leader who can string a sentence together to counter that. Biden is a good man. He’s just not the man to turn this around.

It makes no difference whatsoever to the MAGA crowd. We need someone who can beat the MAGA religion and it is not Biden. We need someone sharp enough to dissect Trump’s BS as he says it and can string a coherent sentence to demolish the Cheeto. It’s not Biden. Change or lose; it’s that simple.

That’s because Obama didn’t forget what he was saying half way through a sentence. He didn’t claim to have beaten Medicare. The difference is tangible and obvious. Biden is a good, honest man; he’s just too old to inspire confidence in his leadership. Address it or we lose.

Just watched the #Biden #Trump #debate.
Left me cold.
Biden looked old and forgetful and Trump just outright lied.
Is this really the best #America has to offer for #President?
It doesn’t matter that Biden is a decent, ethical human being. He looks and sounds too old for the job.
Time to step aside.

Withdrawing from the #election could be the most #patriotic and #generous thing #Biden has done for #America.
It takes real guts and #ethics to admit someone else is better placed to win but if #Trump is to be beaten, Biden needs to do it now so the next candidate has time to totally destroy #MAGA.

Has everyone noticed that #BlueSky is a #Democratic echo chamber?
Plenty of posts saying “don’t elect #Trump” and not a single #MAGA voter here to listen.
If #Biden does’t step aside for a younger, more dynamic candidate, Trump will win. Period.
Nothing to do with #ethics or #morals. It’s a fact.
