Perfectly phrased by Mark Jacob (former editor for the Chicago Tribune.) "One candidate is old and makes verbal flubs. "The other candidate is old, makes verbal flubs, faces 91 felony counts and wants to be a dictator." www.stopthepresses.news/p/obsessing-...

Obsessing on gaffes is lazy journalism

We should be less concerned about minor things politicians do accidentally than major things they do on purpose.

Yes!

And then there is the renowned professor with a doctorate and a vision for the future, and many, many others. What we have here is an abject failure of both major parties. This is where either A) a third party takes over or B) the state falls. Also Biden isn't only senile but backs genocide.

Glad you agree that neither should be president.

tRUmp encouraging Russia to attack our allies was not a gaffe. Nor a flub. It was on purpose. tRump went to Russia in 1987, came back, spent $90k attacking our allies over their defense spending. Why would an illiterate conman, worst student ever, all of a sudden come out like that? #kompromat

Interesting that funding, supporting, aiding and abetting genocide isn’t included in the ‘harm reduction’ mental gymnastics. Genocide is literally the worst harm, no exceptions, and Joe Biden is synonymous with it, matter how many “let’s be serious adults” thought pieces blue MAGA puts out.

Are we ignoring Gaza, then? Just because it's government sanctioned murder, that doesn't mean Biden doesn't have blood on his hands. There is no viable party which represents the American people.

Mark is on here as well! @markjacob.bsky.social

Couple of things: First, yes, by all means, vote for Joe Biden. It is insane and borderline suicidal to vote for Trump. He’s literally said he wants to be a dictator on day one. But also, it’s not wrong to critique your candidate. Thinking they do no wrong is how we got the MAGA cult.

he was wont to speak plain

It also reinforces the belief that one's ability to talk is always a direct reflection of their intelligence. We used to have a rabbi who stuttered a bit, and there were some who were convinced he actually couldn't read Hebrew properly.
