They aren't wrong. They may get some voters, but honestly, people want to be fire something, not just against whoever. And everyone remembers how great the economy was before lockdowns.
Not that I have any sympathy for these people, but being someone who's supposed to make Biden and the Dem's look good has got to be one of the hardest jobs in America right now. It's like sculpting with dog crap, the best you can hope for is still a turd.
Thats hilarious because they are so delusional they dont know how to work without lying to a group of eager noobies so that the noobs do the work for them.
They have lost their “noob” base and now have to do their own dirty work.
Thats why their “everything” is in the shitter.
The last rational people have left the democrat plantation. Now its just criminals and crazies.
I used to work in a place that had tons of useful idiots. Many of them left due to nepotism by the management promoting their friends. They promoted the “in crowd”. Now its biting them in the ass. Fucking commies.
Ima light a cigar and laugh this whole election.
They dug this grave. Im enjoying watching them fill it back up.
Very true. Ayn Rand was 100% right about that aspect of leftist ideology, without any focus on merit or achievement the standards just keep sliding lower. I see this crap in corporate America all the time.
not surprising that Peter blames the amount of media and not the content in them. Of course that can't me be wrong, right? Or maybe there are more Trump supporters. Or maybe people see through the distortions and manipulation...Peter?
Like his alternative to the Green New Deal, I can see him at a meeting interrupting "Wait I have an idea! Why don't we call it...*spreads the billboard* Joe's Plan."
He even left Chris Wallace replyless with that one last night.
Future Presidents here, never come up with something vague at the first debate. At best it puts you in expert mode which isn't Joe, or at worst refer to the intro of the first Gremlins movie.
Can you imagine the campaign managers’ (handlers) faces when Biden gets up there and sputters bullshit whole fumbling over every single word? Then he hobbles off stage and they have to say he did a great job. Anyone with eyes and a sense of reality would be facepalming so hard.
I think they replaced it and I read somewhere that it was appraised (I believe for around $150,000) and going on display in a museum somewhere. I can't recall where I read it...I sound like a liberal under oath. lol
He won because conservatives never looked in the mirror to acknowledge their mistake(s).
They(and this country as a whole) was a woman who got out of an abusive, pump and dump relationship who instantly falls for a guy who treats her nicely...
Only to find out the next guy is a smooth talking conman.
As young as i was during Obama's "rise," i was suspicious at the lack of criticism and mudslinging that occurred...
But conservatives and the entire country just swallowed for him...It was truly pathetic honestly
I’m waking up, I threw a party last night and I had a split crowd, just to make it interesting. I still cannot believe what happened. I’m re-watching it now, and holy shit, it was better than I even expected. If some of these “undecides” watched that and still aren’t sure, or they’re voting for Biden, how pathetic, how dumb can one person be?
The lesson no one seems to learn is that unmotivated people will vote for things, but they are very highly unlikely to vote against something. If there are people who are undecided right now, they likely don't care much, and it's unlikely they will care enough to actually go vote when the time comes if the only motivating factor is "don't vote for Trump". They can "not" vote Trump by just not showing up, and that's way easier to do than going and voting for Biden.
Imagine no matter what you do, your opponent getting stronger. More and more people flock to him no matter what you say. Everything you do backfires. Every. Single. Time.
I said it before and I'll say it again. It must suck being a leftist. What a shitty ride for them.
They wind up almost always getting attacked by their own side and made fun of by ours. And they see a movement they can't stop.
a normal political party would be talking about why you should vote for their candidate instead of incessently bashing their competition. all I hear about is trump trump trump from both sides so who do they think people are going to vote for? trump of course.
Shills on /pol/ are always talking about how the latest thing that Trump did was bad. The latest talking point is "Trump gave 500b to n*****rs but nothing for whites!", yet they give no reason for any Trump supporter to vote for Biden.
Biden also doesn't really have a brand. Sanders was "the socialist guy" and Yang was "the UBI guy". Biden is "not Trump".
We should have infiltrated every online dem group possible on 2016 after Bernie was screwed and pushed hard for an official Socialist party in America. It would split the Democrats in half and they'd never win an election again.
"Politics101" was always about running hit ads on your opponent. That's why fundraising had been so crucial. Whoever could outspend their opponent with negative hit ads would win.
They weren't worried when Trump first ran. They knew they could outspend him on hit ads. So they did. And Trump's numbers kept rising and rising... the whole time they were shouting, "Why isn't this working?!"
This is one of Biden's big challenges. He has abandoned the idea of a traditional campaign and has put all his eggs in the bash Trump basket.
Yes, he has numerous billionaire supporters running non-stop anti-Trump ads in swing states, but he is not connecting directly with voters. No campaign events or rallies, and very little in the way of press time. He has no one out knocking on doors and connecting directly with voters that way.
Once people get tired of the Trump-bashing ads, which they have already, Biden's campaign is finished.
It's the same way hillary campaigned. Because despite both of them having decades in politics neither have any accomplishments or real, tangible ideas to stand on.
It's a very real thing that there were a lot of Biden voters who saw Biden speak for the first time last night. And instead of seeing a strong, confident leader, they saw an angry, cranky old dickhead who stutters a lot.
Wait for Harris' debate. October 7th. That's gonna be FUN. The country will get it's first real look at her.
Are they finally realizing this...every time they tried to do something negative it turned out to be free publicity for Trump while making themselves look dumb.
People that weren't for Trump and were listening to the media went from:
Finally get this jackass out of the white house too...
What bullshit are they going to make up about Trump today.
every time they tried to do something negative it turned out to be free publicity for Trump
Because they lied their ass off. If the claims had been true, they would have hurt Trump. Every time they lied and it turned out to be either a nothing burger or the opposite of what they claimed, the public became more skeptical. 20,000 times later, the MSM that cried Wolf isn't believed at all.
Even if the New York Times tax return article was actually damaging (it wasn't), Rachel Maddow hyping up the fact she obtained his 2005 tax return only to find out Trump paid more in taxes that year than Obama and Hillary put together has turned any "breaking" news about that subject into a nothing burger for most.
The attack doesn't work in a logical sense. Blame Trump would be an excellent attack if:
A. Trump was a career politician with 47 years of service in the government
B. The economy got worse once Trump got elected
These attacks would resonate very will in reverse. Biden is an old clown with almost 50 years of poloticing in his pocket. This joker has been in office for dozens of wars, the crime bill, Obama Care, He was in power during the 07-08 recession, in-power for 9/11. Also, his admin flew pallets of cash to Iran in the last moments of their power for what?
It is very easy to make the case that Biden is to blame for everything, especially since he "is the democrat party"
Of which country because you sure haven't used your clout for Americans. Only a feeble old man would retire like that for over 3 years, unless you have a Doctor's note?
That glaring commission had me pretty fired up last night. Democrats intentionally sunk their states/cities over COVID just for the election. No one(in terms of mass deaths) is dying of COVID.
Most people know the Vice presidency isn't that powerful a position. VPs can do good work, quietly in the background, like Pence. Joe never registered with the country as VP, because we never saw him, Obama sucked ALL the oxygen out of the room all of the time, and kept Joe very far in the background. I'd bet if you'd asked people on the street halfway through both terms who the VP was, they'd have forgotten it was Joe. (Sadly, it's probably the same for Pence - which is why he needs to shine in the debate with Harris, and Trump needs to push him to the front more over the next 4 years. He's a good man, he deserves it.)
The reality is, Biden has spent a literal lifetime in politics, and very few people even know who the fuck he is. He's just a name to them, the name opposite Trump. He's got no optics, and when you dig in, all you find is video of him being creepy with kids. He flew under the radar for 50 years, and NOW he's gonna try to do his job?
And they haven't realized this. They're tossing their money and resources into the wind. Every time they make some new attack based on falsehoods some 0.02% of the population that supports them has direct knowledge that contradicts that and they begin investigating. Anything beyond a shallow investigation leads them to the conclusion they've been lied-to and another person is started on the road to becoming a Trump supporter.
Nobody has created support for Trump in greater quantities than the Democrats. The Donald.win could never hope to change so many minds. We're just a landing pad for people who've already begun to figure out how much they've been deceived.
I let the anti-Trump ads run all the way through while I look at something else. I figure it's costing them money they can't use to torture someone else's eyeballs.
Because they're all false statements easily disregarded when you simply look at the facts. Really need their "enlightened think tanks" full of deranged narcophiles to figure this one out!
Exactly! Biden's stuck in his archaic "soapbox common-man" tactics, such as but not limited to: (At one of his low energy rally)"My name is Joe Biden, I'm running for POTUS. Look me over, if you like what you see, help out, if not, vote for the other person!"
Trump is levels ahead in the matter of transmitting (and processing) information succinctly AND getting his point across.
You see it in business too with disruption. Entrenched companies with outdated business models often double down on their old strategies instead of adapting to a changing landscape. You see it with cable companies somehow playing MORE ADS to compete with streaming. Auto companies doubling down on the combustion engine. Retail companies not investing in e-commerce and logistics.
It happens often. Institutions being disrupted get stuck in mud, unable to make the necessary adjustments to survive.
Dems are the same way. Let's triple down on race baiting and fake news instead of actually offering the American people something tangible.
The thing Biden has to overcome is that every American on both sides knows none of this sht in these ads or messages are Joe's. It's all created by the Wizards of Oz propping his decrepit ass up for their campaign by proxy. Everyone on both sides knows that everything Trump says and supports are things he's fully aware of and are of his own doing. Acting like Biden is coming up with this sht is insulting to everyone.
I don't know when the change occurred, maybe after Bush, but it seems like nowadays no one cares about anything negative you have to say about an opponent. The ones that hate Trump already hate him and won't change, but the fence sitters want to hear your plan of how you'll do things better, not a bash fest, so when you bash someone it comes off as you having no plan of your own. I don't think this is unique to Trump, but he's the biggest example.
Karl Rove's suggestions before the debates of judging success were spot on imo.
It's current year and average non political Joe/Jo are finally getting sick of the Leftist playbook of hurling vile abuse and WACIST at anyone who disagrees
It's not the presence of Trump, it's the absolute ubiquitous negative framing.
Anyone who isn't an idiot is going to realize: A. It can't possibly be true, and B. The corporations/Democrats could do that to me or someone I care about easily.
People don't want to live in a world where the fake news has that much power.
Uh, how do they not realize anti Trump ads do nothing but help him? They ran anti trump content from 2015 up to the 2016 election and he went from a “nobody” in respect to politics to being elected to the presidency.
You don’t sway people with negative ads, you just reaffirm that they are fake news, and all it takes is someone seeing one lie before they question everything they were told about Trump
This is one realisation too few and too late. Perhaps after Trump serves his second term may they apply some lessons learnt. Ah fuck it, it’s the left after all, LOL. They ain’t changing shit!
My moment of backing Trump came after he said "we need to bring back jobs" and people attacked him for even suggesting politicians TRY to incentivise industy to return.
I was just DONE. A job trumps all other needs. A job fullfills. Feeds and builds. Is we cut ALL taxes jobs would flow in and tax revenue would soar because you'd still get sales, tarriff and income taxes.
I actually had been left wanting more by POTUS performance yesterday until I talked to my friend.
I thought there were times where he could go hard after Sleep Joe, but what my friend said makes sense now. POTUS is master of the stage, he can't go too hard on Joe on the first night because the audience always root for the underdog. Joe might have Wallace on his side but being the bumbling fool Joe is, POTUS is already a sharp knife 2 inches away from his neck. Any sharper, he risks becoming the bully. It's psy warfare. Joe's entire performance yesterday could very well be banking on igniting the audience's "sympathy for the elderly".
So POTUS might as well sit back a little, and let Chris and Joe bully him instead. And they sure did.
Trump is so strong that the viewers of Telemundo, the hispanic network he kicked out during a press conference in the 2016 primaries, had him winning the debate by a 66 to 34 margin
Here in Florida Biden commercials run non stop. I just mute the TV now when commercial break comes on. I especially like the one where he calls Trump Supporters white supremacist armed militia. Then they show the one picture where the Trump supporters had the truck rally in Portland, and they bear sprayed the Antifa dirtbags attacking their trucks.
I noticed during the 2016 primaries and general election he was on the front page of the newspaper at least 5 out of 7 days. Mostly negative coverage of course, but “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”
They aren't wrong. They may get some voters, but honestly, people want to be fire something, not just against whoever. And everyone remembers how great the economy was before lockdowns.
Not that I have any sympathy for these people, but being someone who's supposed to make Biden and the Dem's look good has got to be one of the hardest jobs in America right now. It's like sculpting with dog crap, the best you can hope for is still a turd.

Thats why their “everything” is in the shitter.
The last rational people have left the democrat plantation. Now its just criminals and crazies.
I tried to warn them about this about a decade ago, when they were starting their purges.
It's immensely gratifying to watch it happen.
I used to work in a place that had tons of useful idiots. Many of them left due to nepotism by the management promoting their friends. They promoted the “in crowd”. Now its biting them in the ass. Fucking commies.
Ima light a cigar and laugh this whole election.
They dug this grave. Im enjoying watching them fill it back up.
Since we're talking about cucks I imagine "little dick" is spot on.
Until they bring big Mike in.
‘Zip!’
“CLONK!”

Joe invented the internet!
The inventor father, on a business trip, enters a store in Chinatown and buys a Mogwai as a gift for his son.
Edit: I think you call this the opening scene. What was the intro?
I'd call that the intro, you know to Gizmo.
I was referring to the inventor soliciting his travel toothbrush.
Can you imagine the campaign managers’ (handlers) faces when Biden gets up there and sputters bullshit whole fumbling over every single word? Then he hobbles off stage and they have to say he did a great job. Anyone with eyes and a sense of reality would be facepalming so hard.
Biden was so execellent last night! Everything he said turned real and everything he touched turned to gold.
Well put!
That sculpted turd will be appraised for millions and on display in an art museum next to the banana duct taped to a wall. Art. Fine art.
I think they replaced it and I read somewhere that it was appraised (I believe for around $150,000) and going on display in a museum somewhere. I can't recall where I read it...I sound like a liberal under oath. lol
😂 exactly
YOU. CAN'T. STUMP. THE. TRUMP.
Obama won in 08 because he inspired people. It may have been lies but the fact is people were inspired
Granted, the other option in 08 was Songbird McCain...I voted for Ron Paul that year.
Not everything is a conspiracy. Obama was a good speaker even if he spoke bullshit. He also had the black vote and lots of "it's historic" votes.
And McCain sucked anus. If he hadn't had Palin's milfy tits on his side he would have lost by an even wider margin.
That and also republican had shitty candidates until trump came to the rescue
To be fair, all Obama did was inspire people not to vote for Warmonger McCain.
Little did they know...
He won because conservatives never looked in the mirror to acknowledge their mistake(s).
They(and this country as a whole) was a woman who got out of an abusive, pump and dump relationship who instantly falls for a guy who treats her nicely...
Only to find out the next guy is a smooth talking conman.

Big Don definitely knows how to make a brand stick
It's liberating when you stop giving a fuck about the headlines and realize all press is good press at this point. RENT FREE BITCHES!!
Shills on /pol/ are always talking about how the latest thing that Trump did was bad. The latest talking point is "Trump gave 500b to n*****rs but nothing for whites!", yet they give no reason for any Trump supporter to vote for Biden.
Biden also doesn't really have a brand. Sanders was "the socialist guy" and Yang was "the UBI guy". Biden is "not Trump".
Lol I doubt those are shills, it's just them. It's not a pro-Trump board.
The smart move, and I think many high up Dems no this, would have been to fall back and regroup.
Their problem is their base is too fanatical now for such pragmatism. They would also turn on the Dems in a second.
We should have infiltrated every online dem group possible on 2016 after Bernie was screwed and pushed hard for an official Socialist party in America. It would split the Democrats in half and they'd never win an election again.
True, and good thing it's getting harder and harder for them to keep up the charade. Too many competing ideologies in one basket.
One of Trump's big selling points for liberals is his anti-war stance. We would practically be out right now if not for congress and the Pentagon.
My best friend is a far leftist.
We've been friends for decades, and I refuse to stop talking to him and trying to talk sense to him.
As long as he's willing to argue with me, we'll keep arguing until Kingdom Come, or until he finally comes home to papa Trump.
He wasn't emotionally prepared to lose in 2016, and he's way worse right now than he was 4 years ago. He's got a really, really bad case of TDS.
They can’t stop the truth from obliterating the false reality they’ve meticulously constructed.
This. Truth, God, the way, reality or whatever you want to call it can't be stopped.
"Politics101" was always about running hit ads on your opponent. That's why fundraising had been so crucial. Whoever could outspend their opponent with negative hit ads would win.

It's the same way hillary campaigned. Because despite both of them having decades in politics neither have any accomplishments or real, tangible ideas to stand on.
It has resulted in an All Trump All The Time political environment
Not necessarily a bad thing
It's a very real thing that there were a lot of Biden voters who saw Biden speak for the first time last night. And instead of seeing a strong, confident leader, they saw an angry, cranky old dickhead who stutters a lot.

Even if the New York Times tax return article was actually damaging (it wasn't), Rachel Maddow hyping up the fact she obtained his 2005 tax return only to find out Trump paid more in taxes that year than Obama and Hillary put together has turned any "breaking" news about that subject into a nothing burger for most.
This was the point of the performance last night folks. Hes the man.

C'mon, man!
After 4 years of non stop attacks, I can't imagine who sees an anti Trump ad now and thinks 'Oh shit i'm not voting for him anymore'
And they haven't realized this. They're tossing their money and resources into the wind. Every time they make some new attack based on falsehoods some 0.02% of the population that supports them has direct knowledge that contradicts that and they begin investigating. Anything beyond a shallow investigation leads them to the conclusion they've been lied-to and another person is started on the road to becoming a Trump supporter.

So you can overdose on orange man bad? Niceeee
The Orange man bad bullshit became white noise to me years ago I don't even hear it
Wilson also was a NWO architect and tried to create the UN after WWII. After his stroke, his wife was running the country for 6 months
Because they're all false statements easily disregarded when you simply look at the facts. Really need their "enlightened think tanks" full of deranged narcophiles to figure this one out!

I thought Biden was running for the Senate and told people to vote for the other Biden in that speech?
C'mon, man, Are you a junkie?
Just like in 2016
This happened in 2016 too. It’s like they never learn.
Doubling down is what they do best.
You see it in business too with disruption. Entrenched companies with outdated business models often double down on their old strategies instead of adapting to a changing landscape. You see it with cable companies somehow playing MORE ADS to compete with streaming. Auto companies doubling down on the combustion engine. Retail companies not investing in e-commerce and logistics.
It happens often. Institutions being disrupted get stuck in mud, unable to make the necessary adjustments to survive.

The MEDIA HAS MARTYRED HIM.... ALIVE.
I don't know who is making the Lincoln Project ads, but they end up making me want to vote for Trump even MORE
It's current year and average non political Joe/Jo are finally getting sick of the Leftist playbook of hurling vile abuse and WACIST at anyone who disagrees
It's not the presence of Trump, it's the absolute ubiquitous negative framing.
Anyone who isn't an idiot is going to realize: A. It can't possibly be true, and B. The corporations/Democrats could do that to me or someone I care about easily.
People don't want to live in a world where the fake news has that much power.
Gosh vanity fair is such a trash rag... shilling for Biden.
Bad publicity is better than no publicity.
4 years of Trump blaring “Fake News” is working and help get him reelected. 4D chess master
Uh, how do they not realize anti Trump ads do nothing but help him? They ran anti trump content from 2015 up to the 2016 election and he went from a “nobody” in respect to politics to being elected to the presidency.
You don’t sway people with negative ads, you just reaffirm that they are fake news, and all it takes is someone seeing one lie before they question everything they were told about Trump
It makes me wonder if the point of it is it's a method of distributing huge fuckin piles of cash all around to ensure/reward loyalty to the party.
Cant see why not. Take all the donations and distribute them among anyone in bed with the DNC.
So many of my NPC friends are reeing on social media. feelsbadman.jpg
4 years of harassing Trump supporters and being a dick won't win you any hearts and minds.
They’re just noticing this? In 2016 he didn’t need to buy ads, they were giving him more press, for free, than any presidential candidate ever.
This is one realisation too few and too late. Perhaps after Trump serves his second term may they apply some lessons learnt. Ah fuck it, it’s the left after all, LOL. They ain’t changing shit!
Joe's team is not going to win by catering to the upper middle class like they're trying poorly to do with their hodgepodge ads.
My moment of backing Trump came after he said "we need to bring back jobs" and people attacked him for even suggesting politicians TRY to incentivise industy to return.
I was just DONE. A job trumps all other needs. A job fullfills. Feeds and builds. Is we cut ALL taxes jobs would flow in and tax revenue would soar because you'd still get sales, tarriff and income taxes.
Pessimism doesn't energize a base, regardless of which side of the aisle you're on. Democrats should be learning that lesson, but they probably won't.
Lol yup, that's why they won't, they're too busy freaking out.
I actually had been left wanting more by POTUS performance yesterday until I talked to my friend.
I thought there were times where he could go hard after Sleep Joe, but what my friend said makes sense now. POTUS is master of the stage, he can't go too hard on Joe on the first night because the audience always root for the underdog. Joe might have Wallace on his side but being the bumbling fool Joe is, POTUS is already a sharp knife 2 inches away from his neck. Any sharper, he risks becoming the bully. It's psy warfare. Joe's entire performance yesterday could very well be banking on igniting the audience's "sympathy for the elderly".
So POTUS might as well sit back a little, and let Chris and Joe bully him instead. And they sure did.
Trump is so strong that the viewers of Telemundo, the hispanic network he kicked out during a press conference in the 2016 primaries, had him winning the debate by a 66 to 34 margin
Here in Florida Biden commercials run non stop. I just mute the TV now when commercial break comes on. I especially like the one where he calls Trump Supporters white supremacist armed militia. Then they show the one picture where the Trump supporters had the truck rally in Portland, and they bear sprayed the Antifa dirtbags attacking their trucks.
God bless you for reminding me of that. It put a big ol' freedom smile on my face.
Do they not realize that just gives Florida man an erection that lasts more than 4 hours?
I noticed during the 2016 primaries and general election he was on the front page of the newspaper at least 5 out of 7 days. Mostly negative coverage of course, but “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”
We call this the Bloomberg effect. How do we combat it? Bloomberg spends more money on ads
That heppened kith killery with her "what do you have to loose" ad.
I'm not surprised.
No press = bad press.
Bad press or good press is still press. If you're always talking about someone, you keep them fresh on the masses mind. It's advertisement 101.
Link?
Keep Going
LOL, people wake up to the Democrats disinformation campaign and the fake news and the mind control
America loves an underdog.
This is part of why he won 2016, too.
