  1. Answer = The media The New York Times has written 196 articles about Biden's mental decline, whilst Trump has had a handful written on him. David Cay Johnston has been discussing this disparity in coverage going back to Clinton having background articles on her and the fact Trump hasn't been subjected to the same scrutiny.

  3. ​ @we3andtherv570 No get folks signed up to vote for 2026. Voting is more important than a feel good match.

  4. He needs to give back the billions of dollars of subsidies aka corporate welfare back to the American taxpayers.

  6. ​ @WindFireAllThatKindOfThing When both candidates get equal coverage yes. When it's biased nó.

  7. You really need to look into corporate media coverage Robert and how it is influencing you. You have been assisting Trump and Republicans by dissecting Biden much more that you do Trump, because it of course the crazy behaviour to be expected by Trump. You haven't covered David Cay Johnston's comments on how the New York Times wrote 196 negative articles on Biden vs 6-10 negative articles on Trump on the same topic. How this goes back to backgrounding on Clinton that never happened to Trump. You are being complicit, because you have become habituated to corporate media's coverage. Billionaires owning corporate media want their Trump tax cuts, and you are not holding Trump to account to the level that you have held Biden to account. Please really look into this.

  8. Where did you get your medical degree?

  9. Bush vs Gore is a incredibly terrifying precedent. The Republicans have stolen an election previously.

  10. Trump wants Biden gone. What does that tell you.

  11. Live polling during the debate showed Biden tested higher than Trump with his own party than Trump did. Also Independents the undecideds didn't like Trump's lies and viciousness towards Biden. The Independents and undecided voters are the ones that matter.

  12. Where are your calls for Trump to step down? There's enough Republicans voting for Nikki Halley despite her dropping out of the race months ago, up to 20%. 40 out 44 of Trump's previous staff won't endorse him. Republicans would not vote to impeach because they were terrified for their families. Why not talk to Republican interns?

  13. Then Black voters stay home and Trump gets in anyway.

  14. And Black voters stay home. Independents and undecided voters stay home.

  15. Why isn't Trump held to the same standards?
    1
  16. Which is why Biden dislikes the press and doesn't give interviews. He likes to get on and get the job done.

  17. The evidence says otherwise For instance: "The New York Times" has done 196 articles written about Biden's "mental" decline, whilst Trump has had a handful written on him. Everyone needs to stop pretending that Trump is subject to the same scrutiny as Biden is, it's just not true by 190 articles worth.

  18. Or that Dark Money and Republican money invested in polls should be highlighted and questioned? 😊

  19. Elon Musk is propping up the algorithims on X (Twitter) in alarming ways. Musk is using the messaging on a subliminal level. He bought X to basically end freedom of speech for anyone who disagrees with his form of capitalism and white supremacy. We need a strategy to counter Musk, general Troll Farms, Russian Troll Farms and the Chinese Cyber Divison, (which has 10 million members). There needs to be boycotting or a way of engaging with him.

  20. Independents and undecided voters moved away from Trump's debate performance because they didn't like his lies and viciousness.

  21. 66.4% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are working 2-3 jobs and still don't have enough to pay rent and buy food for their children. These folks are time poor and are just starting to tune in. Be kind to those people, jeering and ridiculing folks doesn't bring them to considering all the options. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade of level. They have not progressed from concrete and abstract thinking. They don't know who Murdoch is and what he owns.

  22. What about Trump not answering a single question in the debate? Where's the fairness and balance?
    1
  23. The live focus groups inputing in real time showed Biden polled higher with Democrats than Trump did with Republicans. That Trump cratered with Independents and undecideds. So no denial.

  24. Where's the calls for Trump to step down and get evaluated? He's been talking about boats sinking, getting electrocuted and sharks. His gibberish is frequent and unreported by the media terrified of his supporters.

  25. What about Trump's evasiveness during the debate. What isn't Trump held to the same standards? What about Trump not answering a single question in the debate? Where's the fairness and balance?

  26. Not if the best will end up being Trump. ​ @AaronOkeanos

  27. Independents and undecided voters in Focus groups do.

  28. Both Democrats and Republicans conspired together to use Poverty as a Policy Choice for the last 40 years. There is no living wage. 66.2% of Americans can't get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. They are time poor and if they take time off to vote their kids miss out on eating. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at a an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. They also do not have the critical thinking skills to break apart the corporate media sanewashing of Trump. Republicans have engaged in voter suppression and racial gerrymandering for decades. Many people couldn't vote because of this. If you vote for politicians and you still work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food your children. Then you are vulnerable to cults and the false hope that Trump might give you more money so your kids get three meals per day.

  29. Bernie runs Trump attacks on Socialists over taking will run 24/7. Trump's own voters, who he is losing, (as 20% voted for Nikki Halley despite dropping out of the race months ago) will be galvanised. Also how do you get him on the ballots?

  30. Sadly I think you are in your own bunker Robert that is stopping you from seeing your own role in the American media and place as a social media pundit. Robert why aren't you critiquing American media lack of questioning or holding Trump to account? What about Trump's evasiveness during the debate Robert? What isn't Trump held to the same standards Robert as Biden is being held to? What about Trump not answering a single question in the debate Robert? Where's the fairness and balance Robert?

  31. Polling shows each Democratic candidates lose to Trump by 10 points except Gore who loses by 5 points. Biden is equal to Trump or winning. He is the only one who can beat Trump. David Feldman did a podcast on this. Look at live debate night polling with Joe Trippi which shows Independents and Undecided voters moved away from Trump's debate and lies. See also David Cay Johnson and The Lincoln Project.

  32. Biden steps down then Trump wins.

  33. How do you get this other candidate on the ballot? This is a fantasy.

  34. Jump over Harris and you lose all the unpaid work that Black women do getting out the vote. A lot stay home.

  35. But it's a media created perception that Joe is a problem. The media has also chosen to not question Trump's ability to manage when he is speaking more and more gibberish.
    1
  36. All the Black women knocking on doors for the last two years might not be okay. All the Double Trump voters who made ads giving a permission structure for other Double Trump voters to vote for Biden might all stay home.

  37. ​ @MagicalSkyWizard  Not when Trump is not undergoing the same media scrutiny that Biden is getting. There's no media inspired discussion about Trump stepping down. Not when it is demotivating voters. Not when it's helping hand the election to Trump.

  38. ​ @katsong3302 What freedom of speech? There is no media inspired discussion demanding Trump step down for the gibberish and shark talk.

  39. Polls funded by Dark Money need to be questioned.

  40. ​ @jefff7287 Incorrect Independents in swing states did not like Trump's lies in the debate.
