We need to stop pretending that all would be well if not for the pesky media. We saw the debate and it was not pretty. The fact that it fed, rather than disproved narratives that Trump had pushed to disparage Biden made it even worse. Should the media do a better job of reminding the public how historicaly bad Trump is? Of course, but it's not their fault that many Americans now think Biden is no longer capable. His atrocious debate performance is to blame for that, as are his handlers who let him run again when the job is clearly too big for him at this age. Now we are at a point when there is no great path forward and sticking with someone who looks and sounds borderline senile may well be the least bad option to beat Trump.

Frankly, it's conspiratorial bullshit I expect from the right and it's disheartening how fast this "The lamestream media crooks are out to get us!" narrative took hold

Yes, but it wasn't the NYT that made Biden look utterly lost and feeble during the debate. Some posters are gaslighting us with posts asserting that all is well and that it's just a media concoction. We are seeing Baghdad Bob levels of copium/denial in this thread.

I love the counterarguments about Sleepy Joe’s bedtime.

“Well I work 9-5 and with a family (read: sexually neglected theyfab partner + a cat) so I get it, I’m ready to tuck in and doomscroll for 2 and half hours by 8pm myself!”

Fellas, this is the President of the United States we’re talking about. Not a project manager. We should hopefully have higher expectations there.

Democrats routinely pull the popular vote in the national elections.

Shame the United States doesn't have any national elections.

So I disagree. Republicans aren't scared of their constituents because they vote. On the contrary, consistent voting is a sign to a politician that they've got you by the balls. No. Republicans are scared of their constituents because these people are armed, and they're crazy, and they are more than willing to use their arms. They call their offices and leave some of the most vile shit imaginable on voice messages. They show up at town halls mad as fuck. They will doxx you, and your partner, and your children, and your extended family. On top of that, even the FBI has admitted time, and time, and time again that the right-wing is not only more violent in general, but specifically is more prone to planning and carrying out terroristic acts aimed at large civilian and governmental targets.

Again, does she have any examples of this? Of Republican voters willing to use arms against Republican politicians? Of terrorist acts aimed at large civilian or "governmental" targets?

The latter basically never happens at all, from any groups. There's no "left-wing" threat anymore because all the left groups completely collapsed with the Cold War, the last set of terrorists are feted by the Democratic Party for their abject failure. There's really no "right-wing" threat either because there's literally no organized "right-wing" groups of note same as the left.

They're certainly not actually reading basic organizational theory;

Again, she lectures and chastises but never any examples. We know she has never read "basic organizational theory" because not only doesn't she provide examples (like the basic anti-colonial thought) she can't even articulate what this means. Just throwing out phrases and words she's heard from activists smarter than her without knowing what any of it means. No, she's not like you losers, she reads basic theory she never names or uses any ideas from, she doesn't doomscroll she is in the trenches organizing even though the only examples she's ever provided is carrying a hookup knife to irrelevant "police abolition" meetings, taking food to elderly people or something and yelling at everyone to vote for local Socialist parties whatever this is supposed to mean. Her leftist praxis is so strong even though she doesn't put it into practice on the "progressive" forum she's an admin of, doesn't articulate it ever for anyone there and advocates for anti-social anti-communitarian methods to bring about a racial autarky that otherwise sounds like capitalism.

Even in this this screed rather than anywhere explain any action or praxis anyone could take under "basic organizational theory" to structure and strengthen the "left" she just wanked off about a fantasy where Black and Indigenous people (less than 1/5th the population but as much a part of the country and their local communities as anyone) "justifiably" destroy the entire country and slaughter untold amounts of innocent people solely in rage about events long past.

It's clear that whatever role Biden has, he is not the President. It's probably Jill and Hunter Biden or Blinken or maybe that crazy woman doing the press conferences, who the hell knows, they probably don't know it themselves. They haven't put forward any policies, the Biden website lists about 6 issues but no actual policies because there are none. When they started out Biden was pushing the Build Back Better plan and the Green New Deal, it sucked but at least there was something.

I guess the "President" just happens to be the most lucid person in the room at any given time that helps him sign whatever he needs to sign or helps him do whatever he needs to do.
We read that Biden is surrounded by long time aides, who are those people? What do they stand for? The media admits, they never bothered to pay any attention because orange man.

That's why wars aren't ending, staff that fucks up stays in place, all his remarks end 4 minutes in and nothing really changes.
There is clearly no plan, vision, policy, message or awareness of current events at any level in the Biden administration. They're just on auto-pilot until the battery dies.

[Orange Juice Box]

There is a lot to unpack here.

Republicans are more likely to capitulate to Trumpers than Democrats are to capitulate to even barebones leftists.

There is a theme here. 

The most we got on the left data-wise are terroristic acts aimed at animal testing labs. Yeah, Democrats are totally quaking in their boots at the environmental activists going after beagle-testing labs. Whatever will they do about the PETA nutscases, y'all?

When was the last time Environmental Liberation Front was in the news?  Besides, it's the republicans going after Fauci for killing puppies.

Seriously, it wasn't the left who stormed the Capitol, even though by all rights Black and Indigenous folks should've been burnt this shithole country down if we are basing the validity of direct action against politicians on objective grievances. J6 certainly wasn't liberals- you all can hardly be bothered to be social with your neighbors, to say nothing of organizing anything in the way of any kind of political action. Talking to and cooperating with people?

She sounds disappointed indians and other blacks (not her) didn't do it.  And then she closes by saying what should be done is to talk with neighbors and cooperate?  Do you want bombings or do you want to talk to your neighbors?  Talking to your right wing neighbors sounds like centrist shit.

And note: I am not saying that we need to start bombing offices. I am saying that we fundamentally do not pose a threat to Democrats. Liberals vote blue no matter who and then go home. Anyone threatening to withhold their vote is shamed as someone who hates minorities or is a closet Republican.

 
Last time Nep had to issue a disclaimer like that it was, "I'm not saying I want genocide against the jews . . "  And again, she mentions the part about how people must vote democrat.

They're certainly not actually reading basic organizational theory; they're caught within a loop of nihilistic doom-scrolling and then whining about the end of the world.

The theme I'm seeing is that black people are being forced to vote democrat and should free themselves.  Like Candace Owens I think Nepenthe is just asking questions.



I missed one of the "Vote Dems or else," parts but Nepth has a new tactic.  Blame other black people for being dumber than her.  It's been done, babe.

No one who voted against Donald Trump in the 2020 election is changing their vote based on this debate. The whole idea is ridiculous. Donald fucking Trump hasnt done a single thing to convince the people that voted against him in 2020 that he is some how now the better choice.

If Biden stays in the race hes gong to win. Its as simple as that.

[Nintex]

Ah yes the 'concerned' muslim

I'm Muslim too- but based in the UK. How can you in good conscience vote for Biden when he is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians? I have seen horrific images of children with their limbs amputated, crushed under rubble, or blown apart, all with the aid of American-made weapons. If there was any justice in the world, Biden would be on trial in The Hague for the war criminal that he is. You can argue Trump would be worse, but I'm tired of "the lesser of two evils" argument. I despise American imperialism with every fibre of my being. The whole system is rotten to the core

The democrats keep running on "look how bad Trump is" instead of providing a new appealing candidate and that's simply a shaky strategy

Anyone who thinks that if Biden steps aside for Harris the media will miss a fucking beat is delusional, I'm sorry. The pivot from concerns about his age to concerns about her qualifications, overt racism, overt misogyny, the transition will occur overnight.

Kamala's transition?

Seriously, as an outside observer of American politics, I knew of Harris as a future prospect from the time when she was California AG, and then she was elected VP and I don’t think I’ve seen her in the news since. It’s kind of uncanny.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/venting-about-my-relationship-i-guess-aita.918912/

Hey Era. Another one of those.

I've been in a relationship for 5 years now. For a few weeks I had a feeling something was wrong. I feel like I should have know earlier or maybe I was in denial. Let's say it simply : My partner doesn't want to be with me anymore.

Obviously this is my side of the story so take it as you will.

I'm 38, I'm a graphic designer in Paris. She' 32, lost her job a few years ago, at the end of the second lockdown, spent a few month doing volunteering in local urban farming/agriculture. and she's is now undergoing a training to become a professional sustainable flower farmer. I've always supported her in her endeavors. Without any questions.

We dated for a year before moving in Paris France together a few weeks before the first lockdown. I the five years living together we had very few « fights ». I'm an introvert and I tend to not impose myself, so I tend to nip any potential fights in the bud. Yet there were signs that should have been at least yellow flags. She barely ever do any housework. Like, I don't think she has EVER took herself to vacuum a single time in the 5 years we spent together. I do the cooking ( it was shared of a short bit, but not anymore), the dishes, the cleaning, the groceries (again shard for a bit, but not anymore). Why is this important ? Well : I always feel like she doe's not give single shit about the fact that not only I do those things alone, but also that she doesn't give a shit about being messy and putting shit everywhere minutes after I clean. Should I had impose myself and established together some rules ? Sure. We tried for a bit but neither her or I followed it closely, and I ended up doing everything alone again.

I thought I was happy with her. She's my best friend, we're on the exact same wavelength or so I thought.
Sex was great for the first years. Then there was a time where we went from few times a week to now there's basically nothing. Her libido and mine clearly aren't on the same level, to the point where we had a conversation. First It was here contraception pill that messed up her hormones, but she stoped and barely anything changed. In the las three years, I can count on a single hand the times she initiated sex. And now If something happens, she barely does anything. ( she is very VERY low energy , or effort inclined person, and this is her excuse). When I try to talk to her about that, she's just telling me that « we're not on the same rhythm ».

Since the beginning of her training course In March, she met a few friends who share her love for farming, flowers, urban agriculture. She started to got out, multiple times a week, with I'm ok with it, I'm glad she found something she really love doing Cut to a few weeks ago, I told her that I was really having a bad time, that I really felt alone, that I started to se a psychologist because I couldn't figure if I was making up that feeling of being abandoned, or if there was something real. To the point that I felt that she was avoiding me.

Turns out I was right. She was avoiding me.

She came back from a bar last night, while I was anguishing at home, and confront her. And « she has changed, we don't want the same thing in life » (again, I ALWAYS unequivocally supported her). I do not share her flower passion but I would have seen myself working together to build something. She's not attracted to me anymore (and sex was the red flag), and does not see a future with me, so I guess this is the end ? Just like that ? I really don't know what to do now.


It's still really fresh but I needed to vent. Thanks for listening to this mess era.
