Dr. John Gartner on a tale of two brains: "Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing"

So your argument is Biden crazy foreign, and Trump crazy domestic. I say you’re an excellent candidate for a trump cabinet member
Not really. I'm a socialist (and I don't mean of the DSA kind, but of the Marxist/Debs kind). Trumpists don't like us, and Democrats hate us even more.

I'm also anti-Zionist, while US capitalist politics, the banking system and big business/big tech is controlled by Zionists and their lobbies. They love to fling insults of "anti-semitism" at us whenever we point this out or criticize their beloved Israel as they carry out ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza.

I'll be honest. I get your opinions, and beliefs. Even have a measure of respect for them. Realistically it's currently considered patriotic to allow companies to shit all over American workers, Israel is waaaaay out of bounds (to put it VERY mildly) etc.

But the thing is this isn't a normal election. You don't like Biden. Check, understood. However everything you dislike about Biden you would hate in Trump. And the reality is that every single vote for Biden matters. A stand against insanity, against Trump isn't really optional. Unless you want to fight authoritarianism instead of corporate capitalism.

Quite frankly you don't seem to get the scope of the threat we face. If you want to continue to fight for socialist ideals past this election year, vote for Biden. Unless it's acceptable to you to risk a Trump presidency which ends up putting democracy on the chopping block, and putting the ultra rich above everyone else. And yes that is the risk.

That ^ assumes "Becky" isn’t a Russian agent provocateur who would love for the corrupt orange traitor to have four more years to destroy America, NATO, and western style democracy in general.

😑

"Becky" is downright pro-Russia in the Ukraine thread, and refuses to condemn Putin or Russia, while suggesting that "she" would prefer the corrupt orange traitor’s approach of appeasing Russia and capitulating to Russian aggression.

🤬

"Becky" also promotes any narrative that alienates the U.S. from our allies.

🤬

Fuck "Becky".

Donald Trump's Lack of Rallies Draws Scrutiny

The only rally Trump has attended since he clinched the 2024 GOP nomination on March 12 was four days later in Vandalia, Ohio. That rally was not even an official Trump campaign event, and instead was hosted by Buckeye Values PAC, a group backing Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, who has been endorsed by the former president.

In comparison, Biden has appeared at campaign events in the swing states of Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina, as well as multiple events in Texas, in the past seven days alone.

As of right now Donald Trump has zero events on his public schedule. No rallies, no speeches, no nothing. And it's not a temporary thing," Palmer wrote.

"Trump's handlers used campaign finance constraints as an excuse. But it was obvious that they were pulling the plug because Trump is now so dementia-riddled, his political prospects are more harmed by him being out there than by not being out there."

I'm glad Trump is taking a powder for a while. I need a break from the foul winds that he whips up every time he take a stage.

Hopefully, the NY case will keep him in a chair and out of earshot for eight hours daily until his appeal is rejected.
 
I’m not. I’d like him to be out there for MAGATs to see the decline. Not to shame or gloat or be insensitive to such a brutal condition, but all things trump considered, for those voters to see who they would be voting for and what they’d could look forward to if he won.

Trump's base doesn't see any decline. They only see a red hat and launch into cheers regardless of the outbursts he spues.

Wait for withdrawal pains to subside, then show the loser on stage again. Supporters may gain insight by noting the difference between what they recall from the past and now.

There is that

I could get behind a withdrawal “to spend more time with family”

You mean the false illusion that the US working class has common interests with US billionaires and imperialists?

Trump doesn't really need to rally like he did in 2020, at least not as prolifically. Biden and the DNC will mess it up all by themselves, by Democratic attacks on democracy (i.e. stopping third party options, prosecuting Trump to make him look like a victim of the system), saying "it's a great economy" when the $ in our pockets buys less and less as time goes on, and blundering into new wars with absolute ease. Biden did front door campaigning in 2020 while Trump campaigned at rallies like a madman across the country during the Covid pandemic and George Floyd protests. Biden still won that election, but the motivating factor was anti-Trump and pro-Trump.

Jill Stein would be the best option to vote for as far as I'm concerned. She is left-wing on policies, I share her views on opposing imperialist wars, and her views on Ukraine and Gaza align closely with mine. Other people will have similar opinions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West. Voting FOR something is what matters. If Trump wins the election, the only people who got him that victory are Trump voters themselves (as they voted for him). I'm sick to death of arrogant Democrats acting like they own the votes of people who oppose Trump, or saying "Oh, but Trump" when we point out Biden's bad policies.

I get it only too well. Don't give any credibility to the two-party system.

What democracy is there? The billionaire capitalists and bankers run society, unconditionally. That is not democracy. It is a plutocracy. Biden gives greater "order" to that system than Trump does, and that's why the big business class like Biden, especially the military-industrial complex who want all those foreign wars. Why would I want to give greater order to the status quo?

I tried.

You are wrong. Sorry but there it is. On this you are wrong. You are using hyperbole. Being, essentially, just as stupidly emotional as the MAGA morons.

Yes we have something of a plutocracy - mostly enabled by an apathetic electorate. However it does not mean we do not have a democracy and that we have no recourse.

Try voting in an authoritarian regime.

It’s a dementia screening test, if that’s what’s meant by mental acuity test, whatever that is. I’d like to see a retest

Agreed.

Interesting that discussion about Trump's lack of marbles has now hit Fox.
 
I disagree with your opinion on the matter.

No, I am not wrong at all. Stop being in denial.

I'm using facts.

Why shouldn't I be emotional? I'm being honest.

So having said that I'm wrong, you now say that I'm right.

In reality, it's a rejection of the big two parties rather than apathy.

What democracy? How do I exercize my vote to stop billionaires running the big corporations and banks in America? How do I stop the seemingly endless wars of the military industrial complex and their wasting of our federal taxes on this madness? Certainly not by voting Democratic or Republican. That system must be torn down, not protected and not propped up. A vote for Biden would be the best way to prop up that system.

Actually it's an exercise in not being aware of harm reduction.

What democracy? The one that most of ignore. That's the one. You know, the one where we have literally 4 to 5 times as never voters as always voters.

Torn down? Fuck right off. Sorry but I'm not in the mood for complete anarchy because your knickers are in a knot. I didn't realize you were an idiot that wants the chaos and instability of a destroyed country because you are delusional enough to think that we have a populace interested and intelligent enough to remake society.

Yeah you are being as stupidly emotional as the MAGAs. Practicality is more useful.

Where there's chaos, there's opportunity.

Do you really think the status quo isn't chaos already? US authority across the world weakening, over half of Americans working from pay check to pay check, a dislike of both Biden and Trump even as they overwhelmingly dominate their parties' primaries. Chaos is here already. I don't want to prop up the status quo, I want to tear it down.
