And yet this is still many orders of magnitude more sane than thinking Donald Trump is fit to be president.

When people are, they notice.
Biden was exhausted and prepared to follow a debate training regimen that just left him confused. He's a senior, not an athlete you can train up spryly, he was accustomed to debate in one way and told and exhausted into debating in a way he was not used to.
Fantasy is like rocknroll. It will never die nor reinvent itself
Idiots can be on the left too.
Biden supporters aren’t really left wing though. The left is barely a thing in the US.
Does Biden even have supporters? Or just Trump haters? Who is actually enthusiastic for a second Biden term, rather than a not-Trump term?
Im kinda excited about his cabinet continuing but yeah. Biden could be replaced by one of those novelty singing fish and id be somewhat neutral to it still.
Define le left™
Of course. GMOs and nuclear power
Some of us aren't against GMOs for being genetically modified, we're against patents on food.
I'm also against patents on food but this is a bad argument. GMOs are artificial and can reasonably be patented under the same rules as any other technology.
Patents in general must be abolished.
Some of us also are against massive overuse of glyphosate.
If I could fucking ban pesticides and antibiotics for agricultural use I absolutely would.

Wouldn't Directed Energy Weapons make him burn and itch so bad he'd jump around?
We have those, we've used them in real combat, but they don't work like that.

This community is called news. It should include news. Not some trash blog.
"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.
The DNC basically dragged him out of retirement in 2020 because establishment couldn't handle anyone scary like Bernie or someone young.
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.

This is your occasional reminder that the conspiracy nutballs can be on the left sometimes too.

This is what conspiracy theories are supposed be. Absurd insanity. Not "vaccines are bad for you" or "a secret agent with Q clearance wants patriots to overthrow democracy".
