Democrats would be very worried. Their whole campaign is very worrisome. Biden basically saying how involved Harris has been couldn’t have been worse.

Followed up by Harris saying today that there isn't anything she would've done differently than Biden in the last for years.
The lane is wiiiiide open and they keep hitting the curb.
Was she going to say something different and then cause a row with biden to be exploited by faux etc

Not news to me that the Republicans are actively working to pre-emptively undermine the election results. They haven’t been remotely interested in a fair contest for a long time.
But the number of people that still believe the 2020 election was “stolen”.
FMD.
I just checked- in total, there were 63 legal challenges mounted in various courts, at a range of levels of government.
All but one failed (and that one, in Pennsylvania, was later overturned by that state’s Supreme Court).
What sort of swivel-eyed persecutionist view of the world would you have to be possessed by, to believe that all of those courts - across the country, in red and blue states, at various levels of government - are in on the fix? It defies rational understanding.
The only explanation I can find is that Americans have had a vulnerability to religious cults for far too long.
One of the definitions of a religious cult is the determination of its members to hold to irrational beliefs despite being presented with irrefutable evidence to the contrary. (EG end-of-the-world cults, when the day that they’d predicted the world would end passes without incident. Check out the Channel 4 doco on the Strong City cult in New Mexico on YouTube for one jaw-dropping example).
There’s long been a worrying overlap between US religious fervour and US politics. I think now we’ve passed the tipping point.

How election deniers have infiltrated the race for the White House
Four years after Donald Trump claimed the 2020 election was stolen from him, the Republican candidate and his allies are actively sowing seeds of doubt about this year’s vote.

There’s a third candidate with a chance of winning?
Yes and its good that she does that. She looks so much better by wanting more debates and he looks scared by rejecting it.
Debates tend not to have much follow up questions though. Non biased one on one interviews do. She needs to do both. I dont want to hear about her childhood when she is asked a question about economic policy. She cant get away with that in a proper interview. Good that she did one last night. Wish she performed better but she is still ahead of trump in this regard. At least she showed up.
She very much was hiding and now is slowly changing approach. Which is good.
Now its trump that is hiding.

That is what I don't get.
Put down Harris for every little thing: not enough media, repeating Biden talking points, her laugh, employing Biden's staff, won't go on FOX etc. etc. yet Trump gets a free pass on his age, psychologically unfit, felon, rapist, habitual liar, conman, etc etc.
Then see themselves as objective posters, too funny.
You can bet all calls to Putin were recorded by Russia to be used at a later date if necessary . 7 perfect phone calls
sadly too many years

You are spot on. Biden is aging, gait issues, hesitation in speaking and in fact his stuttering has returned. However sometimes his hesitation is as he is choosing his words carefully as he still has full faculty in deciding which words he wants to use. I am sure that in his thought process he would love to use more colourful language in replying to Trump.
Trump on the other hand has completely lost his ability to filter his thoughts and has progressively gotten worse, losing touch with reality.

I think it is amazing how the media treat Trump differently to anyone else.
Hillary called Trumpers 'deplorable' and the media and people went crazy.
Trump calls The View panel 'degenerates' and I bet little will be said.
Didn't click on vid as nothing Trump posts makes any sense. Sick old man.
They were the greatest 7 phone calls ever made
You think the media give trump a better run than Harris?
like trumps phone calls
