"It was his stutter."

"He had a cold."

"He overprepared and got flustered."

"A malicious actor used an Inator on him."

I wonder what the next excuse is gonna be.

"He's old."

He actually said on camera that the reason he is running this time is because Trump is running, meaning that if Trump wasn't running, Biden wouldn't be running, meaning he doesn't even really want the job.

The DNC put up a guy that doesn't even want to be president again, and now 40% of democrat voters want a new nominee because apparently they weren't paying attention for the last 4 years and only realized now, during the debate, that Joe Biden is dealing with cognitive decline.

No we realized years ago. It's the entire reason his campaign started the idea that he'd be a single term president. People brought it up after the midterms when he confirmed he'd run again. It's been in the news and an open question ever since then. According to insiders, the debate was held early specifically to show he wasn't too old.

Biden and the Party have been aggressively going after critics, accusing them of being Trump supporters and disloyal to the very concept of democracy. Which would have worked if he didn't shit the bed so badly.

The DNC basically dragged him out of retirement in 2020 because establishment couldn't handle anyone scary like Bernie or someone young.

I think the debate made it undeniable for a lot of people.

Having a cold is perfectly normal.

[–] Ensign_Crab 8 points 4 months ago

Claiming to have beaten Medicare isn't a cold symptom.

[–] Randelung 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A coldinator! And after the president the whole tri-state area!

[–] TokenBoomer 3 points 4 months ago

I understood this reference.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

so your idea is that people close to Biden are making a conspiracy theory as cover. So your conspiracy theory is that there is a conspiracy spreading conspiracy theories ?

My dude look inside your own house. The conspiracies are coming from inside your own home.

And my prediction came true. There's already a new excuse. They're blaming jet lag. When the last time he traveled was 2 weeks before the debate.
