Undecided voters say they now support Joe Biden after debate
newsweek.com

A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.

...

A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because "Trump sounded like a crazy liar," according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.

The man being interviewed said Trump "said the same thing time after time" and was not answering questions or "saying how he would fix things," according to a Newsweek translation.

He went on to admit that "Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking," saying the president "has a stutter" but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.

"After being undecided for a little while, I think today, I switched to Biden," he added.

I asked which conservatives (had a meaningful impact on Biden stepping down).

Your statement was not sensible in the first place, and is evermore silly now.

The Democratic Party put pressure on him to stand down because he was not going to win; only his pollster said he had a chance, no others did.

He certainly won’t now.

He was never going to.

Calls for biden to step down are not significant in the real world

They were.

You're having trouble understanding simple statements.

Don't put that on me.

You can be confused about what you're saying, but it doesn't mean that you're incorrect assumptions are correct.

Biden easily could have won.

His supporters were afraid he wouldn't, listened to tired conservative propaganda from four years ago, and circled around the baseless, cynical take that a candidate who already beat Trump and has gained lots of allies during his first term because of his progressive legislation couldn't win twice.

It's a foolish sentiment, but it's much easier to tear someone down than stand by your convictions.

That's what you're doing here.

I'll find someone to slow clap for you.

Feel free to point out which statements.

Again, which conservatives, and why did they have an influence?

The Democrats are applauding him for stepping down.

It’s a foolish sentiment, but it’s much easier to tear someone down than stand by your convictions.

Sticking by what you're saying when it's clearly wrong is not standing by your convictions, is folly. It's digging a hole and putting your head it in so far that you ignore reality.

Your attempt at performative comments (to... no one but me) don't look smart.

And sticking by my correct statements, despite the bandwagon patting themselves on the back for being duped is not folly.

You're close but woooosh

You're right, everyone else is wrong, including Biden who said it was the right decision.

Not everyone, and not what you're taking about, and not in that context, but I appreciate your enthusiasm.
