Democrats really have no way to spin this. We break down Biden’s disastrous debate. It was rough.

I'm legit at a loss... I just feel numb tonight. Seriously. Like WTF are Dems going to do now?!
>One adviser to major Democratic Party donors said they were texting from a meeting of donors in Atlanta on Thursday night, some writing “wtf.”
>“Our only hope is that he bows out, we have a brokered convention, or dies,” the donor adviser said. “Otherwise we are fucking dead.”
Oof.
But seriously, I'm still pissed. I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be THAT bad. If they don't replace Biden, we will get another Trump presidency. If you think Biden can win after the world saw the debate performance, you're delusional.
Y'all know I hate Biden but I still hate Trump even more. I don't know at this point who to replace him with. You can't replace him with Harris, she's polling even worse than Biden. Newsom, maybe, but it would fire up Trump's base even more because of the whole anti-California propaganda. I just don't know... I hate it here. Whitmer?
The president often had a weak, raspy voice during his first debate against Trump, in what Democrats had hoped would be a turning point in the race.

Hey, I'm here! I said vote for whoever you want or don't vote, that's democracy.
I've said over and over I'm a gay guy living in the Los Angeles area and far left. I keep sounding the alarm Biden will lose to Trump but nobody wants to listen to me.
And then, the debate tonight everyone is surprised Pikachu face now.
Only 30 day temp ban from the main politics channel. A few more days to go.
Keep in mind we could have had Mayor Pete, Bernie, Klobuchar, Harris, or Warren but they figured Biden would follow the party line and not having any annoying ideas of his own.
Are you watching the debate? I've been saying for months they need to replace Biden and now look...
It's a meme. Laugh!
The media is foaming at the mouth for some slip up they can sensationalize. If it was Gen X, Beto would be jumping on top of podiums.
You're not wrong
While I am gay, hard pass on clapping any cheeks with Biden or Trump. No can do.
I think most voters have already made up their mind by now. If Trump shuts his mouth and "acts presidential" he will "win" the debate. If Biden can appear alert and well-spoken, he will win.
The downside for Biden I see are for those voters who haven't paid attention to politics recently. He's been declining in mental clarity lately and comparing pictures/video of him just from the start of his presidency he "looks" really old now. One of the most stressful jobs in the world ages you rapidly. Those voters could see Biden now and think "what the hell happened to him?"
The downsides for Trump... motions at everything The bar is extremely low. If he comes off as loud and interrupting or playing the victim, the Haley voters/old Republicans could be turned off.

Bill Clinton’s campaign was right on the money when it coined the famous “It’s the economy, stupid” slogan in 1992. That’s because the economy has consistently ranked among the top – if not the very top — voter issues in presidential election after presidential election.
