Theres a lot of things to be said about why this is, but one thing is for certain: government has a very heavy hand in why this is happening, and it’s in large part because we don’t want to breathe in coal effluence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue those changes in energy policy were more driven by economics than any effort to actually mitigate global warming. If you give consumers a choice between incredibly inexpensive solar or a more expensive coal power plant, people are going to choose the more economical one most of the time. Which goes to my point: If you want to solve (or at least mitigate) climate change, giving consumers and industry a choice that is cheaper and cleaner is the way to go.

PaladinSolo Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I love how the party had a meeting to claim they're backing Biden only for it to be very clear there was no consensus and more reps continued to ask him to withdraw. I feel like theres probably more than half of congressional Dems that are just too afraid to say its over for Joe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Six States Move Toward Trump in Electoral College Ratings | Cook Political Report WWW.COOKPOLITICAL.COM As of July 9, the Democratic Party is living in a state of suspended animation. Despite growing calls from many in his party to leave the contest, President Joe Biden has made clear he has no intention of dropping out. Not what you want. It's paywalled, but the states are AZ, GA, MN, NE-02, NH, NV. I think a lot of this damage is self-inflicted at this point, as Dems keep the story in the news without actually taking any action. If there's not going to be a complete rally around Biden, it might be better to rip the bandaid off at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those keeping score: I would be mad at Landsman and Brown, but they're both up for re-election in the once swing state of Ohio. I've donated to both of them in the past, this doesn't make me want to toss them a few bucks this year. edit: I just saw this Hill article Access to this page has been denied THEHILL.COM px-captcha Quote Landsman’s district, which includes Cincinnati, is generally considered a safe one for Democrats. The Cook Political Report currently lists it as “likely Democrat,” and The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s election forecaster currently gives Landsman an 85 percent chance of winning in November. Huh? Landsman booted Chabot out after his useless ass was parked in that seat since 1995, with one 2 year break when he lost an election in 2009. That district has been gerrymandered for decades to split the Democrats in Cincinnati across two districts that snake out into the suburbs and rural areas.

Best Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I was watching live footage of Biden being interviewed right be entering the plan a day or so ago. He couldn't answer the question.

News media is complacent in propping up Joe the last 4 years. On one hand, I'm glad they are finally talking about Biden's weaknesses. But on the other hand, they should have been discussing this from the day he took the oath of office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The media has been talking about Biden's age for years at this point. The debate and relatively short time until the election has put Biden under a microscope, but I honestly have no idea how anyone could say that Biden's age, his comparative slowness, etc., were either unknown or not reported by the media.

Fox News certainly covered these aspects of Joe Biden, but MSNBC and CNN seemed to downplay it up until a few weeks ago. On the other hand, CNN and MSNBC pretty much covered Trump's faults non-stop while he was president while Fox refused to. Corporate media that plays sides is not in the best interests of the nation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dear friend, not but a week before the debate the mainstream media was parroting the “cheap fakes” claims of the administration about the myriad video examples of Biden fumbling in public like he did at the debate. They were circling the wagons until the debate when people got to see it live and unedited, so there was no room for the hand waving about just how bad a shape he is in. So much so that the lovely people on this very board, people who are more with what’s going on in the world than the average, were taking a dump on @Best for pointing out how bad Biden had become. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
