Growing a personality

harris was a curveball and they couldnt compensate quickly enough, but harris misstep was tamping down her rhetoric, and now trying elicit hispanic and aa voters.

Also, her interview answer about not doing anything different from the Biden administration was political malpractice of the first order.
- The fact that she seemed completely caught off guard for what was possibly the most obvious question definitely didn't help. Of all questions to not prepare for...

Sure, if you want to rewrite history that could be true. Everyone was fearful of Biden's mental health because they kept him out of the public. Then, when he did the debate, he confirmed everyone's fears. It wasn't that long ago, how have you already forgotten?

and when they brought out a candiate without that concern it changed nothing for all the right wingers who were saying I cant vote for biden because mental health. Now bring up trumps mental health to them and they are oblivious. So I dont know how anyone can argue it was ever a valid concern to voters who choose not to vote dems.
- That wasn't Kamala's problem. You really do have a short memory. She lost because she also wasn't a good candidate. You can't invalidate Biden's issues because Kamala lost. They both had their own issues. Biden polled the worst against Trump. Kamala polled the second worst against Trump.
  
  She lost because she had the same garbage policies of Biden. Having a border cop at the DNC tell us that Harris would be stronger at the border, The Most Lethal Military, while no Palestinian spoke, promises for policies that were so complicated and means-tested nobody expected they would benefit told the voters they'd get more of the same from.
  
  She lost because more people wanted Trump and it was never about age or policy or leadership. Mindless people got swept up in the right wing hype because every single right winger was shouting from the roof tops about how great Trump was while lefties were attacking their candiates.
  
  Leftists were telling their candidate what they needed to do to win. Instead of promising immediate improvements in peoples material conditions, they gave us genocide and Trump's 2020 platform.
  
  Was the leftist vote what lost the election? I dont think it was. So I dont think it matters what lefitst wanted or thought, they had no choice but to vote "the lesser of two evils" or shoot themself in the foot. Idc what option they choose, the vote was decided by middle ground voters who were influenced by online discourse.
  
  The leftists are simple prescribing popular policy.
  There is no such thing as a middle voter who likes "subsidies for insurance companies where you buy health insurance through 1 of 50 websites and have no idea what it will cost or what it will cover or where you can even get it" but doesnt like free healthcare.
  There is no such thing as a middle voter who likes "40k towards a down-payment for first generation home-buyers who haven't made a late payment in 5 years" who doesnt like public housing and rent control.
  Triangulation was always just a pretense for the dems to push policy that is good for the donors but unpopular with the base. Your moderate republican is never going to vote for fascist-lite when the real thing is right there. They might vote for someone credibly promising to help them afford housing, college, and healthcare.
  
  Source: it came to me in a dream.
  
  it was never about age or policy or leadership.
  You're projecting. Just because you think of elections as a team sport with no connection to policy, doesn't mean everyone else does.
  
  Is it a rule on .world that you have to explicitly say "you're from .ml!" every time you interact with one? Because you all seem to do it like a compulsion
- If you think Harris did as badly as Biden would have if he'd stayed till election, you're only fooling yourself. It would have been the biggest Republican sweep since Reagan.

Trumps mental health is far better than Biden. Biden was a zombie. His mental health was so bad that the DNC dropped him after he zombied out during the debate with Trump.

Biden has late stage cancer which most definitely was present when he decided to run again.

Why are Democrats still simping for the guy who lost them the election?

If you watched the Trump v Biden debate and came away thinking Trump was more intelligent in any way you're beyond help. I'm sorry but the competency isnt even close.
- Trump did answer worse-- he's never going to be more intelligent-- but Biden looked like a reanimated corpse ngl and he would have lost the vote hard
  
  yeah you're right he would have, but thats a reflection on the voting population of america. When I watched those two Biden was clearly more intelligent, thoughtful an well spoken which is what I look for in a leader. But I guess other people just pick whoever acts more confident. As apparent by all the people judging the debate off a single out of context soundbite.
  
  Clearly more intelligent? He was struggling to form coherent sentences. Trump spewed lie after lie, but could at least form complete thoughts.
  
  I've had this argument so many times so I wont be the one to bring examples. But if you truly believe what you said then you should be able to point to a single instance in the entire debate where trump answered a question better than biden. Please pick one and we can argue about it. I'm of the opinion that every single question biden answered was more coherent than any question trump answered. The only reason you would think otherwise is if you completely lose all logic and reasoning after hearing someone stutter or not speak loudly.
  Biden would acknowledge the issue, cite policy he has already passed which addressed the issue and then speak about policy which he was working on to further address the issue. He did this for every single question.
  But I guess he losses because trump makes a funny face and joke? Have some respect for yourself because i'd never be caught dead saying thats all it took to convince me.
  
  He beat Medicare... My grandmother passed away of a brain tumor. As her symptoms progressed she struggled to form sentences and find the words she wanted to use. You could tell she knew what she wanted to say, but couldn't get it out. That's exactly what Biden looked like on that stage. You are delusional if you saw that performance and thought he was the correct candidate for the democratic party. Hell, even Biden saw that performance and decided he wasn't the correct candidate. I'm not sure where you're getting your narrative from, but you're so far from the reality that everyone saw.
  Trump's performance was abysmal, as normal for Trump. Biden crashed so hard and set the bar so low that Trump was able to clear it. Someone with full faculties was able to easily dismantle Trump, as demonstrated by Kamala. Biden kept bringing the debate back to the issue of immigration. That was Trump's largest strength in polling. That's an awful debate tactic that a younger Biden wouldn't have done. Hopefully there aren't enough people like you in the DNC. I'm not looking forward to another loss in 2028 because you refuse to accept reality.
  
  I accept reality and wouldnt run Biden/bernie/harris I'd run a decently charismatic white man in their 40s with middle of the road policy and it would win.
  You are delusional if you saw that performance and thought he was the correct candidate for the democratic party.
  Its not about the correct candidate for the party, that was decided a long time ago. Its about which person is the best to lead the country out of the two people on stage. Thats it. If you walked away thinking trump was the better of the two people to lead then you're an idiot and I dont know how else to explain that to you.
  Biden kept bringing the debate back to the issue of immigration. That was Trump’s largest strength in polling
  No once again, you are completely wrong to what actually happened. Immigration was mentioned by Biden once as a response to a question about immigration. Every single other time was trump shoe horning immigration into his own answer.
  He beat Medicare
  Here is full bidens response to the question. Which is talking about increasing taxes on the wealthy to strengthen social programs.
  
  How is this at all convincing to you? Are you even thinking when you're watching the debates or do you just sit there trying to see which candiate has the strongest aura. If you were to say I think he lost because the American public is stupid id agree but you're saying YOU think he was not the best candidate on that stage based on his intelligence which makes me heavily question what you consider to be intelligent. Please consider whats making you think this way and change it.
  
  How is this at all convincing to you?
  You keep saying that, but I don't know what you're talking about. What do you think I was convinced of?
  
  Clearly more intelligent? He was struggling to form coherent sentences. Trump spewed lie after lie, but could at least form complete thoughts.
  You sat down and watched both candidates and came away thinking that Trump was more intelligent and had more coherent and thoughts. I cannot understand this perspective from an intelligent person (which I believe you are). Was that medicare stutter really enough to sway your opinion of the entire 1:30hr debate?
- Trump's mental state was blatantly superior to Biden that debate.
- Is there a condition of sign up on .world that you have to point out .ml users at every interaction? Seems like this overwhelming compulsion you all have.
- Being in denial about Bidens mental capabilities in current time requires unfathomable levels of cope. Don't worry it's .ml who did it.
  
  Did you watch the Biden vs Trump debate which caused Biden to drop out?
  
  Yes, I did. In real time too!
  Biden wiped the floor with that fucking orange buffoon! Just like he did in the 2020 debate. All I saw from the orange fuckwad was talking over when it wasn't its turn to talk (no surprise the toilet can't keep all that bullshit in the plumbing), and generally saying, as always, the dumbest fucking shit you've ever heard come from someone's mouth on live television. Let's not even mention that most of the sentences the orange shit stain let fall out of its mouth was literally incoherent in reality. Here, let me provide you with some of the "totally mentally okay, trust me bro" you are trying to argue with:
  “He’s become like a Palestinian but they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian” (2024)
  “On January 6th, we were respected all over the world. All over the world, we were respected” (2024)
  “I gave Biden a country with no, essentially no inflation. It was perfect. It was so good” (2024)
  Or are you thinking of something else?
  
  Can you remind me who beat medicare?
  
  Looks like its your guy?
  But, I'll throw you a bone, anything else to prove to me that he was a straight up zombie and, somehow, the orange lard won?
  
  Take the L dude https://youtu.be/ej4gFT21VOM
  
  Post Bidens whole response to that question instead of a single stutter and then show us a single example of trump providing an answer with a similar level of thought.
