Who deserves blame for Trump, ranked: 1. Biden & his team papering over his obvious cognitive decline for years 2. Click-hungry media savaging left/liberal figures while letting Trump slide 3. Democrats having no cogent strategy vs FedSoc checkmate besides "uh pls vote" . . . 97. Lefty shitposters

Which is wild since it was the left (or those declared to be left in response as a perjorative) who have been sounding the "cognitive issues" alarm for years, only to be shouted down or ignored by said ancient centrists.

The damage has been done: the thing about the guy we saw in the debate is that he can’t win. This is not just about the coverup (the real reason everyone’s pissed, because we got played by our own side); he can’t effectively campaign or debate, so he’s done. It’s that simple and the remedy clear.

My not-so-hot take is the narrative of Biden's fitness would be dulled (though not completely quashed) if he were showing any kind of fight on the other fronts you mentioned. A submissive plea to the people to vote against the coming Christian fascist tide just adds to his perceived weakness.

Is it that? Or were very sage warnings about Biden's cognition ignored and dissent quashed for years only to have it blow up in our faces finally? Some people (on Twitter!) had their finger on the pulse from the start. Plenty of chances to address this before our most desperate hour.

All the worst and dumbest people are very excited to celebrate our independence just as their fascist high court declared that Presidents are Kings now. Meanwhile all the people presumed to be in opposition are weak and feeble, able to do little more than fundraiser and beg for our votes.

Wouldn't be a stretch to say Biden needs to use his new powers to stop America from becoming Nazi Germany and arrest these people. That's absolutely official business of the country.

You're probably right. But as the OP intimated, pretending for a year that Biden has been cognitively fit for office when it was clear he wasn't - and the subsequent implosion of that fiction - is low hanging fruit.

Because that's admitting that even our relative "good guys" are a force for evil on the world stage. Hard to internalize and live with, especially when it's happening in real time and on a level of awareness unprecedented in human history.

Yes, via a judicial process that could take months if not years to resolve. We've certainly seen Trump and his ilk slow-walk things plenty. Better to fight and lose than do... this.

Biden politely disagreeing with the decisions of a corrupt FedSoc-captured SC and urging us - once again - to hold Trump accountable by voting is an almost total abdication of his duty. Especially after that corrupt court literally anointed him with extralegal authority when discharging said duty.

You're not alone. They're going all-in because they think they have the best hand and their opponent is weak. They're spot-on with the latter, at least.

The most telling thing about Democratic failure to counter the FedSoc takeover of the country is that they're not even pretending to run on court reform anymore. At least in 2020 there were (broken) promises about packing SCOTUS.

He could end the age/cognition narrative instantly if he said or did something...ANYTHING...that amounted to a forceful rebuke of what the Court has done. Instead we'll get a scheduled tweet from an intern bloodlessly reminding us to vote in November.

Yes, we have to vote for the party that has done basically nothing to stop this slide into Christian fascist autocracy because the alternative is worse. We know. My TL doesn't have to be full of reminders.

Imagine if biden supported supreme court reform *instead* of repeatedly and vigorously rejecting it. Imagine if the dems threatening us with camps and project 2025, had a position on actual events occurring currently and a plan of action regarding those currently happening things happening now.

At this point, it is 100% undeniable that the Supreme Court majority is attempting to destroy democracy and seize total power over the US. They're not even trying to hide it. Since the media refuses to clearly convey this fact to the public, tell everyone you know.
