Poll shows the debate only changed 7% of people's minds...

[Anonymous]

...about whether Biden is cognitively capable of being president.

65% saw him as unfit for office prior to the debate, and that only went up to 72%

https://mol.im/a/13585619

Notwithstanding this, the race is still tight, meaning that a sizable percentage of people (~20%) are okay voting for someone they view as cognitively unfit to lead the free world.

This is interesting because I got the impression from DCUM that there was widespread ignorance about Biden’s... let's call it affect. DCUM has consistently expressed a belief that Biden is spry and mentally agile, particularly when compared to his opponent Trump. While some DCUMers have since acknowledged that they ignored the signs, many are committed to a belief that either Biden is okay, or that his cognitive health is irrelevant to his job performance. By the numbers, this means DCUM is basically inhabited by among the most committed and perhaps extreme supporters on the left.

It wasn’t ignorance. It’s just that we didn’t care if he had good days or bad days as an old man. Biden + his team have passed a sh#t ton of legislation.

DCUM is more likely to care about policy outcomes than your average internet hivemind.

Biden hasn’t passed legislation, he’s read a teleprompter while unknown individuals craft policy and make executive decisions.

You’re smoking more crack than Hunter.

American Rescue Act

Bipartisan Infrastructure Act
(if you’ve been tangentially involved in DC you’ll know that both sides of the aisle have been trying to get this done since the Obama administration!)

CHIPS Act

Inflation Reduction Act

Support for Israel and Ukraine

Those are the big ones. Infrastructure act alone would be the capstone to any 4-year term in office for any POTUS.

Trump did quite poorly in that poll as well. And only a third of respondents thought Trump's responses were truthful and honest.

Voting for him, or whoever the dem nominee is, no matter what.

Why would the debate have to change anyone's mind. Just because you made Biden Dementia a talking point doesn't mean it's true.
What about Trump's falling asleep at his trial? Misusing words in rallies?

Yes, DCUM is much better informed on policy and insider politics than the rest of the US.

It doesn't mean they put country over party. It doesn't mean they can't be massive hypocrites when they want to.

Because Biden leads a party whose values align with their own, a lot of posters wave away his decline. It's a grave mistake. It makes them no better than conservatives putting up with Trump because they want to further a conservative agenda.

We should get a new Dem candidate ASAP.

It's amazing what voters will do when the opponent is a felonious carnival barker who attempted to overthrow our democracy.

Biden didn’t pass those. Congress did. And who knows what involvement he had in crafting it. Did Jill hold his hand to help him sign?

That’s what she has to do now.

The only Democrat voters who will vote for Biden or the unelected are Democrats who don’t care about voting. That’s a lot of Democrats but it’s not me.

How? Who would choose? The same people running the country now?

I’m not voting for the guy who attempted a coup, mostly because of the Supreme Court.

Plenty of us were sounding the alarm last fall.
