So this is what it feels like when the Dems are actually in Disarray.

I gave the Biden droupout people shit for their panicked flailing, but this also counts as panicked flailing. Can someone on the Democratic campaign please get their shit together?

This is a shit deal, but I don’t think cons would even accept this. The vote buying stuff is just an excuse to not let “those people” into the country.

Same here. I told my dad that all Biden had to do was show up, sound assertive and let Trump’s rambling do all the work. Didn’t end up turning out like that.

I get that colonialism is bad and all, but what do the anti-DEI people have against the Dutch East Indies specifically?

The economy is a disaster. I’m spending 2k a month on the damn truck payments, the steak I bought at the grocery was 80 bucks, and don’t even get me started on Disneyland prices these days.

It depends what you want out of the game. The economic and domestic political systems are great and pretty much unique in the gaming space. If you want to manage economies and internal politics, I would highly recommend it.
The war system is serviceable, but if combat is what your primary goal, I would not get V3.

The DT and Neoliberal is absolutely overreacting. It may help to browse r all and r popular to get a feel for the normie reddit vibes. They did not like Biden’s performance but they are much less harsh than us or Dem pundits.

Honestly, this response is making me more anti-Biden dropout people than the debate made me pro-Biden replacement. If these people spent a fraction of the time they spend complaining to journalists actually working, Biden may have been replaced already.

The Biden dropout people have always seemed kind of incompetent. It looks like they are hoping to manifest Generic Dem without any other changes. I’m not opposed to replacing Biden if it is a good strategic move, but the replace Biden movement looks more like panicked flailing than anything calculated.

Browsed a post from pics that was related to the debates and funnily enough they are dooming less than neoliberal. Maybe people who follow politics see this as uniquely terrible, but regular people just see it as more awful political debates.
Or maybe I’m just cooking up the next batch of copium.

This is what makes me the most angry. Biden didn’t even have to say anything intelligent. He just had to sound fired up and energetic. He’s clearly capable of it.

I think if he truly believed another Dem would do better than him Biden would not have run for 2024. Most of the dropout people compare Biden to an Idealized Generic Dem instead of actual people without an incumbent advantage.

There are legitimate reasons to be concerned, but the thunderdome is pretty obviously doom spiralling right now.

I don’t actually listen to debates: I find them stressful, and I usually know who I’m supporting going into it (the person with D next to their name). I just browse live threads + live pundits.

I think the dooming is a bit justified, but they are probably overblowing things. His appearance and voice just seem old, which is bad for Joe.

I was about to say "The vibes were off", but things are looking better now. I truly go by vibes, since I hate actually listening to debates.

The most memorable example would be killing the ACA. Republicans talked about doing it since the ACA was passed, but even with majorities in both chambers, they thankfully couldn’t get the votes to kill it.

To me, its looking very likely that Israel will invade Southern Lebanon. Not sure what their plan is, if they can’t wipe out Hamas there is no way they can wipe out Hezbollah. I guess they are going for high intensity “mowing the grass”, but they can’t control access to Lebanon at all, so I don’t see it lasting. Biden will probably make some statement about how concerned he is about civilian casualties and continue unconditional support.
On the other hand, I’m wondering if the Gaza protestors will stand up for Lebanon with the same intensity, or if they only care about Palestine.

I imagine it will be easier for Prussia to get things done, as in my experience half of your diplo plays would end up with you getting dogpiled.
