One looks really frail and losing his facilities while the other acts like a despot spouting conspiracy theories and glorifies mob rule. Its absolutely pathetic. I genuinely feel sorry for young, intelligent and pragmatic people of America where its not if your talented or capable but whether your rich or corrupt enough to run for the presidency. It's also scary that to be successful these days, you have to be controversial. Like you say for a country the size of the US, not to want or find better candidates than Trump and Biden is very worrying. Where are the level headed, intelligent, young candidates with fresh ideas, who wants America to have a stance in the world but also keeps their integrity? I feel whoever wins, it'll be a disaster for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collymore Posted 11 February Share Posted 11 February My theory in all of this is that the Russians have known Biden is mentally gone for a long while, even the average person will have realised this if you've watched him over the last few years - the decline in mental ability has been fast and heading only one way. The mainstream media are only reporting this now - I think that plays into the Russians hands as if he had to be replaced earlier they'd probably have seen someone much stronger campaigning against Trump. So to lure people into a false sense of security they made out Putin to be ill and on his last legs, the western media jumped on this and this took the pressure/focus off Biden (the Russians wanted him running for the next election remember) We have it all coming out now that Biden is pretty much f**ked and has pretty much no hope of getting re-elected and there's no time to sort it out for the Democrats. Putin is looking like he has made a remarkable recovery from all the ailments he had at the start of the war! It seems all the legal stuff Trump is going through will end up in Russias favour too and he'll be the next president. Trump has said that he can stop the war in a day. I'd imagine that will mean not forecably telling Russia anything, he'll tell Ukraine that they have to give up some land and give some assurance about not trying to join NATO. If they refuse, America will stop funding the war which will ultimately mean Europe picks up the tab and with the current economic situation in countries like ours, I can't see public support for the war lasting long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy the right wing in America waiting for the opportune time to strike Biden and the Democrats - potentially they might have gone a bit early because the Dems do have time to change candidate, although whether they will is another matter. However, there’s no way Russia would pretend Putin was ill just so they could present him as recovered. He was ill. He may still be ill but on better medication for whatever it is. No leader like Putin is going to willingly and deliberately present themselves as weak at any point. As for Europe potentially picking up the tab or otherwise, I guess that depends on whether you think we’d have any choice. I don’t think anyone (including Putin) knows whether Europe could rely on a Republican government if Russia decided to attack a NATO country.

FoxyPV Posted 11 February Share Posted 11 February On 10/02/2024 at 18:04, MPH said: Trump is right wing and has many christian voters who are likely to show ‘ solidarity’ with the Israelis. Biden is left wing and has less of a christian base support and more of a liberal support who don’t share the same enthusiasm for defending the Israeli cause. Trump would energize his supporters with the stance he would take in Israel, Biden is alienating his supporters for the stance he’s taking in Israel. Thanks for explaining this.

Same will impact Labour in a GE given Starmer's leadership Again, I understand the sides that the poster has described. But do we expect those voters to vote for Trump? I don’t see those who are franchised and unwilling to vote for Biden because of ‘Palestine’ and therefore not Trump, as a big enough number to swing the election. Of course there are other more salient issues that may cause Biden voters to vote for Trump, or even enact voter apathy, but I don’t see it with the Palestine issue. Especially as in recent days Biden has enacted executive orders to prosecute settlers and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same will impact Labour in a GE given Starmer's leadership Biden in particular would lose more votes by supporting Palestine. And it’d be even worse because those votes would transfer across to the main opposition, instead of either staying at home or voting for a third party candidate. Labour recognise the same problem too - any votes that would turn away from Labour for their Palestine stance (not nearly as many as you believe) would be single losses. Any on the other side that went to the Tories would be effective double losses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
