WigstonWanderer Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July If I had a vote I’d rather vote for Biden dead in his coffin than Trump, but he really needs to go to give Democrats at least a chance of keeping Trump out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July He is going to go I think. When even Nancy Polosi is saying he has to make a choice - after he repeatedly stated he chooses to run - then you know he has lost the support of the senior party.

fox_favourite Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July (edited) But on topic, Biden can't run, the stress will finish him, literally. For his own sake, he needs to drop out and for the sake of the US. But is there a suitable replacement for him In a country the size of the US, there has to be a better candidate then Trump and Biden. Someone who is not in "let's put dad in a care home" mode and the other a controversial and self indulgent man. It just shocks me that they are the "best" for their parties.

stripeyfox Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July It is quite astonishing that out of a choice of two people to be president, Trump isn't the biggest clown of the two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July Trump makes loads of similar errors by mixing people up but when you’re looking someone in the eye then how the hell can you call them the name of their absolute nemesis ???! The democrats can’t just dump Biden either - it has to be on the back of an actual medical diagnosis for both constitutional and campaigning reasons. so Biden may have to stick around for a few more weeks yet and counter intuitively, make more gaffs.

fox_up_north Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July I just don't understand this. They've had FOUR YEARS to find a replacement. Literally, anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July 13 hours ago, fox_up_north said: Rehabilitation would be ideal and in a fair world prison itself would only be for people who just cannot operate in society. The problem is, crime is very complex and isn't just one reason. Marxists say it's an unjust society forcing criminals into crime, more authoritarian folks say they're just bad/ feckless. Human interactionists might blame abusive upbringings. It's most likely a mix of all of them. It also comes down to what a society deems as "crime". I struggle to get my head round the free will debate tbh. Maybe I’m wrong but as far as I can see, we’re all just bags of meat driven by our dna and inputs in our life throughout our life. It seems very unlikely to me we aren’t just slaves to how the neurons in our brain fire and the way they fire is governed by our dna and previous experiences. And that absolutely all of us would do immoral things if put in certain situations, with certain life backgrounds and a certain amount of social pressure was applied. I remember a YouTube video with Neil DeGrasse Tyson where they said it will probably take 100s of years for the prison system to governed by “compassionate determinism”. Society absolutely needs to protect the rest of us from people who are a genuine danger for others, but I’ve never really understood the “prison as punishment” argument tbh, it feels like a very outdated way of how humans function. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionator Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July 49 minutes ago, Wymsey said: Biden looks increasingly frail every day that he's on camera. Yep, even compared to a year ago he’s aged pretty dramatically. I’ve always resisted the idea that he’s got Alzheimer’s and I don’t think he does but he clearly has some kind of progressive cognitive dysfunction. The chances of him being alive in 4 years are slim, let alone as president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the same people who thought Hilary Clinton was the best candidate to run against Donald Trump, despite it being pretty wide knowledge that she was loathed by half of the country. The fact that they've learned nothing in the last 8 years, to the point that they're risking opening the door to a twice convicted fascist and possibly a civil war, is as astonishing as it is unforgivable.

Torquay Gunner Posted 12 July Share Posted 12 July (edited) Minimum of 15 years for Gavin Plumb, think he got off lightly, with no pun intended.

It's an absolute embarrassment not just America but for the whole of the democratic world. Putin must be laughing his head off. Everyone can see he's just not with it anymore. At his age anyone else would be and should be enjoying his retirement with his friends and family and not putting himself and others through so much unnecessary stress. It's just not funny anymore and it's now just cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
