And They're Off! The Democratic Candidates for 2020

     It doesn't occur to me that people need your kind of help as much as you need to provide it.

     

Some time ago he started a thread complaining about his problems. A lot of people sympathized wiith him and oferred him pieces of advice with the best intention and in all earnest. The result? He complained about being patronized.

The only help he needs and which he seems to be finally getting is professional psychological help.

DNC changing Arizona debate to town hall to protect Joe Biden from Bernie Sanders taking him down

Biden will most likely win the nomination.

He will most likely lose to Trump, unless the coronavirus upsets the American economy enough to make people dislike Trump (because let's face it his appalling behaviour isn't going to achieve the necessary levels of dislike).

Most probably, indeed.

     Try something else if what you do doesn't work.

CNN admits Joe Biden is hiding from public to prevent people seeing his cognitive decline.

     
     It's not much of an admission IMV. Biden has symptoms of decline appropriate to his age, plus the well known Biden factor that's been visible for decades. Am I worried? Do I look worried?

     In a post Trump world cognitive decline won't mean the same thing. Biden won't refuse to listen to advice or consult experts, nor will he imagine the world is composed of him and his posse facing an inexhaustible supply of enemies, a proposition that brings about its fulfillment.

That's exactly what I said I'd be doing from now on yet you objected to that as well. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

     Without objection, so ordered.

Link?

Are you getting this from CNN or is Kyle telling you what CNN is saying and you're taking it on faith?

I'm not seeing a recent piece from them with a title like that.

Also: if Biden is "hiding" its something *he* would "admit", not CNN.

     That's right, though I think the question of cognitive ability still comes up for anyone watching how Biden performs, regardless of who is admitting what.

     Biden doesn't say "I'm not being facetious!" any more. Should I be worried?

     I have a cognitive decline name block for Nicole Kidman. Here I am going through the most excruciating "confuse a cat" philosophical disquisitions with all my powers intact and I can't remember the name of the actress who played Gretchen Carlson in Bombshell! It's very unfair. Who do I have to damn to get this fixed?

Hmmm. When I try to remember who painted Water Lilies the name that springs to my mind is Claude Debussy. It takes me at least 15 seconds to suppress that and remember Claude Monet.

Sans blague!

Then I am mortified to think how superficial I am to think that Debussy was an "impressionist."

And instead, he's all about wanking on this thread.

Why, you ask him, as if he were not merely a shallow propagandist.

Right. So its not Kyle telling you what to think, its that guy I said makes Kyle look professional telling you what to think.

Its frightening that that's what you consider a serious news source, so I'm glad you don't get to vote in US elections. Every time you link to this ridiculous rubbish you're embarrassing yourself.

Are you saying we on the left are wrong about this and Biden is hiding nothing? Are you saying he doesn't have cognitive decline? Biden is speaking for hours in campaign rallies like Bernie? He does't have "gaffes"?

You don't show respect toward me. You question my honesty and ability to think myself. You question my sources of information. I don't have a clue why. For some reason you seem to think Bernie would be a bad president. I disagree. He has earned the presidency and would do so much good for the country. I don't understand you.

What's all this "we on the left" stuff? Plenty on the left disagree with Sander and everyone on the left on this forum disagrees with you, myself included. You don't speak for them and neither does Kyle or Basement Guy, whatever his name is.

You" don't have a clue why"? Oh yes you do. You're being utterly dishonest by saying you don't because its been explained to you hundreds of times. And I never said Sanders would be a bad president, I just don't believe for a second he can deliver the icecreams and ponies he's promising.

I almost said in my previous post that you were like someone who gets all their news exclusively from Stephen Colbert, but then had to stop myself because you'd in all honesty be vastly better informed if that's what you did.

You demonstrate constantly that you fail to think for yourself.  You are the laziest excuse for an "intelllectual" that I have ever encountered.  And since I know some Trump voters, that is saying something.

BTW vox.com skews way left, and they fail to be sanguine about Bernie the All-Awesome:
