The Joe Biden 2020 tracker thread (5 Viewers)

[Intensesaint]

A place for all the gaffs, slip-ups and overall outlandish things Democratic candidates will say or do in lead up to the 2020 Election.

I don't mean to make light of this in any way, but it does seem like Joe has some early onset dementia. Not stuttering, but seeming to get confused with own words at times. I certainly hope he is ok and that is not the case, but just an observation of someone who has the potential to be our countrys next president.

I would think that schedule would be hard on a youngster. I would guess it has more to do with tired that dementia and if it is it sure as hell is not early onset.

In all honesty the running mate chosen by these old arse white guys are super important. The risk of voting for guys the age most get their drivers license taken away is just silly. Who ever gets the nomination needs a strong running mate.

I agree. I think Biden could really get the majority of Democrats motivated to vote for him if he were to run with a progressive VP like Elizabeth Warren. That essentially makes sure at least in theory that most voices are heard and that Biden is willing to listen to that side of the aisle.

I don't see it happening as she has repeatedly gone after him, but she's as sharp as a tack and it would make me feel a lot better about the ticket.

Yeah I was praying Warren came out if this on top. She is exceptionally organized and has a well thought out plan for everything and honest about it even if she should not be.

I don't see those two getting together. The one i do see is that Gretchen Whitmer she is a logical choice.

Then again she could prove under the big lights to not be so good but then again I can't imagine her being Palin bad.

I used to be a Warren supporter for president, but I don't think she was honest about how she would fund universal health care. She was repeatedly asked if she would raise taxes, and she kept skirting or implying no, whereas Sanders admitted that he would raise taxes, even if people's out of pocket would be less. People saw through that, and I think it was devastating to her. I also think she pandered too much to the far left, even more than Sanders. Warren still has a lot to offer, and perhaps she would be a good VP choice, but after not even winning her own state, I fear that she won't help the ticket. I still think she is a terrific public servant, but not a good candidate for president. After listening to her delivery of the State of the Union, and seeing that she's been able to win in the Michigan House, Senate, and now governor, I like the Gretchen Whitmer idea. I also think Klobachar would be a great choice.

Was he to know that 10 hours ago when he posted it? Facebook disagrees with titter so now what? Here is allegedly the video



So how was this faked? It appears to me it was edited to a shorter version which I have seen numerous times done to a Trump video. WIll those no longer be able to be posted here?

 

[Slackermod]

The video was edited to portray the gaffe as worse than it actually was. It was not “just shortened” randomly, it cut him off in mid-sentence purposefully to make it look worse than it was. It’s a politically motivated hit piece.

There was no infraction, just pointing out that it was flagged by Twitter, and that should be acknowledged.

Yes, if videos of Trump are altered in a similar manner, they will be flagged as well.

We are serious about having the MCB be a place where people can discuss politics in a respectful way. These sorts of “hit piece” videos are probably more likely to stand in the Mud Pit, or in the respective partisan boards.

Biden has always made gaffes, but still far less than Trump. I'm sure this will happen again, but it certainly doesn't make me think any less of Biden. If gaffes matter to Trump voters, then he wouldn't get any of their votes. If gaffes matter to swing voters, then Trump wouldn't get any of their votes either. I know Biden is 10 times the man that Trump is, and he will make America much greater than Trump. Biden is capable of coherence when speaking contemporaneously, which I've never seen from Trump.

It's pretty interesting how people who probably voted Trump in 2016 and are clearly going to vote for him in 2020 are concerned about Biden's mental condition.

Man

Still a big fan of hers. She was hands down the best option for real change for working class Americans. When you consider her track record of getting work done compared to Bernie it is staggering.

Her real problem was she couldn't stay in her lane. I would think saying lack of honesty is not her problem.

She was the middle of the road and should have stayed there. The plan for everything and being prepared was her down fall. Everyone else makes blanket statements with no plans yet people buy that nonsense.

Biden is the bought and paid for political machine. He is gonna have to give out favors just like he always has to huge donor wants. Just like he sides with the credit card industry rewrite of personal bankruptcy laws. If you don't think so why did the market have a huge rally after super Tuesday?

Bernie is a bit much for most. And it is really sad to say too Jewish. I would like to think we were past that but we are not. I think all the Bernie policy change is kinda pie in the sky as long as Mitch is employed and should be taken with a grain of salt.

In other words it is kinda like building a wall all talk but not happening.

Out of the two left in the race I really don't care. One is not gonna do what I want and the other can't.

But whom ever is left they better pick someone from a swing state as a running mate.

If Biden gets it he better ask Jim clyburn who he wants it to be because he is the only reason he is in the race.

Jim Clyburn is a king maker at this point.

Not going to get into the video stuff
But in general if it’s question of Twitter vs Facebook about reliability- always go with Twitter

Thanks for the heads up.

I am less concerned with you taking that position than I am with Twitter flagging that video as "manipulated." I don't see how they found his last ditch effort to salvage his incoherent statements as materially changing the actual words he spoke.

Needless to say, whether Biden's frequent inability to speak coherently reflects a decline in mental health is a legitimate concern since he is running for the presidency of the United States.

I think instinctively many knew that as the calls for social media to censor for "truth" grew and those platforms seemed receptive to that idea that there would be overreaching by those platforms.

In any event, Biden's gaffes are certain to continue so we will probably need a thread in the mud pit to cover those.

Troll gotta troll?

These drive by comments basically solidify the stereotypes towards some GOP voters.

Granted, this is a gaffe type thread that many of us actually use to give serious discussion commingled with the fart jokes.

Lighten up Francis. It's not my fault that Warren lied about her race for years to gain an advantage. You post the unfunny Daily Show clips all the time.
