Biden is Mentally Fit Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: I just watched the whole thing. All I can say is: I refer you to John Stewart (usually not my guy, but spot-on here), and to Nate Silver: https://www.natesilver.net/p/joe-biden-should-drop-out And it’s not just that Joe Biden is 81 now — it’s that he’s seeking a second term and wants to continue being president until he’s 86! Michael Jordan wasn’t awful with the Wizards, but he also wasn’t about to ask for a four-year contract extension. An 86-year-old president is a ridiculous and untenable proposition. Few world leaders are anywhere close to that old, other than in authoritarian countries — and none of them are the American president, the hardest job in the world. Is an 86-year-old Biden being president as ridiculous and untenable as an 82-year-old Trump being president? (Trump just turned 78 so would be 82 by the end of his second term.) For me, the answer is still no. In fact, although this is an increasingly unpopular view, I think Biden’s had a pretty good first term. And if I lived in a swing state2, I’d still vote for Biden — if for no other reason than because I think January 6 is so disqualifying to outweigh everything else. And to think you told us he is mentally fit just a couple days ago… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Someone, anyone, whoever is running the Executive Branch needs to step in, push Biden out to, at least, maintain whatever shred of dignity he and out nation has left. What a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterargument. A bloated and overbearing corrupt government and institutions are eroding American citizens freedoms and civil liberties and forcing them to become ever more dependent on said government. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All populism is, is things that the average person wants, instead of what the elites want… I would hope every president would want to be a populist instead of an ideologue…👍 See how the elites, through the media, have sold you the propaganda that populism is bad?

BillsFanNC Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 22 hours ago, BillsFanNC said: The Presidential Greatness Project! Respondents included current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, which is the foremost organization of social science experts in presidential politics, as well as scholars who had recently published peer-reviewed academic research in key related scholarly journals or academic presses. 525 respondents were invited to participate, and 154 usable responses were received, yielding a 29.3% response rate. The American Political Science Association you say? I tell ya the APSA just reeks bipartisanship. But let's look around.. https://thehill.com/opinion/education/4180961-im-a-conservative-is-there-still-a-place-for-me-in-the-field-of-political-science/ I’ve attended nearly every APSA since 1984, a third of its existence and most of my life. Seeing old friends, new books and countless panels exploring politics is the highlight of my year, even though I am one of the roughly 10 percent of political scientists — not all on the down-low — who usually vote Republican. https://heterodoxacademy.org/blog/social-science-political-disparities-self-selection/ American university professors are overwhelmingly politically liberal. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than by Mitchell Langbert’s (2018) recent study of faculty political party preferences at elite liberal arts colleges. In short, Langbert found that Republicans are virtually absent in many academic disciplines and are entirely absent in some universities. The dearth of non-liberal faculty is particularly acute in the humanities and the social sciences, where disciplines such as sociology and anthropology enjoy liberal-to-conservative ratios of 40-100:1. Did anyone else catch Biden referring to this "study" last night? In other news Biden consults vegans for steak house rankings. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
