Last week, as Biden remained confined to his Delaware home, his campaign took to
YouTube to put on a virtual rally. It’s still available online, though in truncated,
buttoned-up, highly edited form. When it was unfolding in real time, it was messier.
And so it went, the blackouts, the indecipherable monologues, the speakers
staring silently, endlessly, waiting for a prompt. I kept my eye on the viewer counter
in the corner of the screen. From what I could tell, viewership peaked at 2,637 and
then fell off a cliff as the technical troubles continued. The numbers rose a bit when,
nearing the program’s end, the announcer spoke Biden’s name. The screen filled
with a sunlit suburban room, and we saw a man in aviators approaching the camera
from the glow of a patio. “Did they introduce me?” he asked, looking around. “Huh?”
Biden gave a version of his stump speech from the campaign trail, with unfortunate
improvisations: “This country is really all about the American people,” he said. It felt
like a mercy when, after he bade us goodbye, his image faded and a card came up
advertising the Virtual Rally in Tampa, FL that had just ended. The whole rally was,
in short, a disaster.
No one should underestimate the devastating effects of technological incompetence.
We know that a lot of former Obama administration officials are getting involved in
Biden’s campaign, which is perfectly understandable, but the Tampa rally suggests
he’s brought back the tech crew from the first Obamacare website."

Are you prepared to die for Donald Trump? That is not a rhetorical question.

Ah! The fear.. You, Risky, the Russian, the other dipshits here, et al tried your best (which never is much) to push for anybody but Biden. Your incessant whining, "Oh my goodness, Bernie is such a threat. Golly you really should vote for Bernie. Don't pay attention to the fact that Biden has lead trump - by a bunch - every step of the way."
So this one's for you, Irish Prick:
… Poor Mick..
Irish Mick and the Russians and their pals, the GOP, pretended to push for Bernie Sanders, knowing that Biden, leading by a bunch in all the polls, was a sure winner over trump. “Oh golly, Bernie is so wonderful, everybody should vote to put Bernie on the ticket!” So when Risky got caught in that lie – and admitted he wouldn’t vote for Biden – he, along with the Russians and GOP started crying about how “Bad” Biden is.
And that’s what he’s been trying to do since. “Oh, golly, Biden might have rubbed some women’s neck – and other suggested bad things – so you shouldn’t vote for him!” (But for trump who is a proven liar and woman molester).
So it’s worth laughing at, watching poor risky scrambling around here whining.
RUN! Mick, RUN!

Hillary's biggest negative was "her emails", how charming that sounds now.
Donald now has of a long list of negatives he didn't have before, topped
by botching the response to the pandemic. It's like if Russia invaded
the US and he told the military to stand down, those Russian soldiers
are just here on vacation.
If 5% of the people who voted for him are thinking rationally he won't win.

Then why isn't Biden doing better? Only a single recent poll shows him doing really well.
I'll answer the question for you. He's a lousy candidate- care of the Demo machine and sheep like Jerry.

Then why isn't there a bigger difference in the polls?
The Neo-libs decided it was better to lose with their dog than see someone else's dog win.
