why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.

I get it, Biden is old and that’s a problem, but why doesn’t anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein’s Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can’t remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

I think you’ll find that basically everyone on the left would like for Trump to step down. But it’s a waste of breath to actually voice it.

StaySquared ,

It’s not age. It’s competency. There’s 100 year olds that are more competent than Biden. I’m not calling Biden stupid. I’m saying like the rest of the fkin world has been saying for the past few years, Biden’s mind is degrading.

He’s not competent enough to run a campaign that defeats Donald Trump.

And I was told that “Beat Donald Trump” is the most important thing in the world. But now, I guess, it isn’t? It’s just about appeasing the ego of a senile old coot and his weird family.

Meanwhile Trump’s syphilis riddled mind is sharp as a tack?

The dude literally wears diapers.

StaySquared ,

Helluvalot sharper than Biden from what the world witnessed in that recent debate lol

Even his wife treats him like a fkin child, “ooooh muuuuh gaaawd, I am sooo proud of youuuuu!! You answered all the questions!!!”

Literally wears diapers, eh? At least the entire world isn’t accusing him of literally chitting his pants.

LMAO, seriously, I couldn’t give a fk less about Trump, I only like him because during his reign, the economy was popping, people were thriving, businesses were booming… chit was glorious especially for those of us trying to get ourselves into home ownership. If another Democrat runs this country for another 4 years, we’re ending up in WWIII and isolated from the rest of the world except the NATO alliance, if they don’t turn their backs on us too.

You’re allowed to swear on lemmy.

It’s easy not to mumble and stutter when all you’re doing is repeating the same rehearsed diatribe against immigrants, no matter the question. A speaking toddler could do that.

StaySquared ,

Immigrants? I didn’t even mentioned immigrants in my previous comment. wat.

spirinolas ,

Are you Donald Trump? Learn how to read.

That “booming” economy is a straight line on any chart from 2010 to 2019. GDP, unemployment, debt, income, whatever you want to check. Funny you think democrats are why things tank. Do you associate the 2008 financial crisis with Obama? Because that nosedive, which landed lower in 2009 than we hit in 2020, has a clear nosedive starting in 2004. Please don’t tell me you think the astonishingly-low gas prices in 2020 were Trump’s doing, either. People literally stopped driving altogether and oil companies couldn’t offload ships since demand was so low. I’m not really sure who you’re concerned about regarding WW3 that you think would be a powerful player that isn’t in NATO and isn’t already against the US. But really, it’s impressive to think Trump’s tenure was such a safe haven of global peace when Russia, one of 2 likely opponents, was thrilled with Trump because he was friendly to them. That’s not peacekeeping or carrying a big stick, that’s Putin making the marionette dance.

I implore you to check out a few additional “news” sources and actual analyst sources. If your news sources get emotional, that’s not news. If your analyst sources cite high school polls, that’s not analysis. If your source of stats is unverified text-over-pictures or commentary social media videos, God help us all.

…is this a joke?

conditional_soup ,

I would gladly have Trump drop out. It won’t happen. Trump is running to save his own ass. For my part, I have grave doubts about Biden’s ability to win that have been building for a few months but came sharply into focus during the first minute of that debate.

Because this is a media blitz

The problem the Republican party seems to have right now is that it’s caught in a bizarre cult of personality, where the only viable candidate is Donald Trump. Eight years have been dedicated to a man that likely won’t be around for another eight due to his age and lifestyle. Donald Trump can’t drop out, because to many he IS the Republican Party.

Put succinctly, if Trump were to drop out, could you realistically see him backing another candidate, without making it about himself?

In some ways it’s petrifying that Trump could win. In another, it’s hilarious to think that IF Trump were to lose, how would the Republicans recover in four years? Trump will never not make it about himself, and I bet he’ll put himself on the ballot for as long as he can, further eroding the right.

Because people think Biden may actually do it. No one is stupid enough to believe Trump would put aside his ego long enough to consider the problems created by his extreme age.

prunerye ,

People think Biden may actually do it? I hope I’m wrong, but I think that’s pure fantasy. One ego is definitely bigger than the other, but you don’t become President by being a good person.

prunerye ,

I was so, so very wrong. And I’m quite happy about it.

HawlSera ,

Republicans have no shame

ArcaneSlime ,

Are you only counting insular social media bubbles like this one and/or media like CNN which takes that to be the default position and therefore doesn’t repeat it ad nauseum, or do you mean you’ve been scoping out trumpsocial where you’d be more likely to see conservatives talking amongst themselves and so you’d be more likely to see that type of infighting? Cause maybe that’s why.

Because we know he won’t. He knows he’s unwelcome by the majority of the people. That just makes his worshippers praise him even more.

What do you expect…Democrats ask him to step down because he’s a convicted felon? He’s gonna listen?

Republicans to have him step down…why? Because he said lies(that they believe) and sounded good saying them?

Biden we at least know is receptive. And he’s got an amazing career behind him. Losing the presidency, as an incumbent, to Trump (the incumbent he just barely defeated four years ago when he exuded much more confidence when he spoke against him) would be a terrible way to end it.

There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story.

crusa187 ,

Trump’s the perfect figurehead for MAGA, why should he drop out?

Asafum ,

I’m honestly pretty damn mad these people got perfect representation and we get stuck with neolibs who think “yeah yeah 40 years of the same hasn’t helped, but this time it will work!”

jorp ,

It’s because Democrats are not “we.” Both parties serve corporate interests.

Because he’d never do it anyway.

Because everyone in America who has fuck you money (everyone, even that one rich person you like who says shit about Trump) benefit if Trump gets elected.

Every news network owner, every sports star selling sneakers, every rock star who flys a private jet, every CEO that benefits from slave labor, every single parasite in the country. They all win huge if he gets elected.

Republicans are dismantling every roadblock to them having even more money.

People talk a big game but in the end we’re all greedy selfish short sighted fucks.

Not that the Democrats don’t fuck people over… but they’ll at least buy us dinner and maybe use some lube.

Twelve20two ,

Don’t lump me in with greedy, selfish, short sighted fucks

xenoclast ,

I mean… I hate to say but I’m in there too. All the horror and trauma in the world makes me more that way every day

Twelve20two ,

Stay strong, mate. When disaster strikes, look for the people trying to help. There is good

It’s like he’s a real life Zaphod Beeblebrox, only far, far worse.

FrostKing ,

How do I blacklist the word Trump so that I don’t see posts like this in my feed?

HomerianSymphony ,

Because he’s winning.

The people calling for Biden to drop out are doing it for one reason: Because they fear Biden won’t win.

It has nothing to do with how moral Biden or Trump are or are not.
