President Biden plans to announce his intention to run for re-election. Why is he doing this with a video instead of doing it live?

[exitseven]

If he cannot even make an announcement without having it professionally produced how will he manage to campaign for a second term? How will he be able to debate President Trump? Would you vote for him anyway?

Not a joke!

[D_Bone_Steak]

He's going to physically hide away just like last time and probably more so this time. This might be the first time you see a candidate just straight up refuse to debate... sort of... I mean I think Kari Lake and that chick who's name I can't remember comes to mind. I think that was the dry test run of the new strategy. We are probably going to see the same moves done by Biden I think. Kari Lake lost to someone that wouldn't debate openly... it works. That's the only reason I think we'll start seeing it more often.

[exitseven]

It has already been established that there will be no debates. People are so stupid they will vote for somebody who is unable to get up in front of he country and defend their policies and positions. I suppose that there is such a big welfare class in America that he might be able to win.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'm thinking the same. I mean my vote is going to Trump or Desantis... but those magical votes will come out of places I've never even heard of and elect anything else. It only seems logical that people would be sick of the current Biden... but he might somehow win even though the very idea makes me think people are retards.

It was either Plato or Aristotle that I remember pointing out that the decline starts when people start trying to vote themselves rich. That welfare state you mentioned... that's them. They know where to vote to get their free shit. They don't care about tax breaks because they don't even work. Smaller government... they want bigger and bigger food stamp card allowance. Mail-in votes just make it that much easier to just vote for their riches. And going back to that Kari Lake situation... They're going to take advantage of the groups that take the time to go in person to vote. Make them stand in line, wait until they walk away. That will repeat I think. It worked... they'll just keep doing it.

Most of the time, he can't even read the teleprompter well enough to create complete sentences, yet alone run a campaign. I almost feel sorry for the guy- almost.

[Massageman]

Thanks for the MHO.

[razelove]

I think this makes things fair and balanced. If Trump gets nominated he's the most tainted candidate the GOP can field, there are too many people who worship or reject him based on his name before he says a word.

Biden is in the same boat right now as well. One is the extreme polarization of the right, and the other the left. Both of them are toxic. Honestly I could care less if Biden has handlers, more so that much like Trump he's likely going to be in court while running his re-election.

I wouldn't worry about a recording or not, his approval rating is lower than George W. during the whole unknown unknown hunting in Iraq.

[Leapfrog00]

Just like many other politicians, Biden has his own campaign organizers, who usually suggest the most efficient way to run an election. Honestly though, I don't think Biden could find his way out of a t-shirt, let alone remain president! lol. We have no decent runners, so we officially hit rock bottom.

If it comes between Trump and Biden again, this country is probably not going to survive another 4 years. Where I live, eggs cost almost $5 a carton. If these politicians are so good, why can't they do something about the inflation problem? And the homeless crises? Wow! It's the highest it's ever been. Every 121 out of 10,000 people are homeless.

And the economic downfall needs to be delt with immediately! Forget border patrol. Forget "Let's cut taxes". The people need taken care of before that nonsense. A lot of people think Trump is this God because of those stimulus checks. What people don't take one minute out of their day to think about, or are just too stupid, if a president has to give people stimulus checks to stimulate the economy, that economy isn't being taken care of by him in the first place!

A government lasts for 250 years and we're on year 247. We're already collapsing. Biden should be in a nursing home! Not the Whitehouse, lol

[OfDeath]

The reason Biden is making a video rather than a live announcement is because he is an 84 year old man. Nothing against Biden, honestly there is actually nothing wrong with him which is in any way unusual for a geriatric aside from a stutter he has always suffered and the valid suspicion that he is a creepy pedo. But that is the point. Someone that old is simply not an ideal candidate for one of the most stressful and demanding jobs on Earth. The Democrats need to go with someone else. Preferably someone at least 20 years younger. That is what the video is for. So they can edit it and make him appear younger and more dynamic.

In a debate, Trump won't have anything other than the usual hyperbolic bravado and underhanded personal attacks but Biden will struggle with that this time just from being a bit older and slower. He has trouble stringing two sentences together these days. Which, once again is perfectly normal for an 85 year old man.

America is in dire straits at the moment. It is a problem when your choices for national leadership are an 87 year old man and a mendacious megalomaniac.

[exitseven]

When somebody cannot find his way off a stage, not once but several times and cannot stop and answer a reporters question for fear of making a mistake it is obvious he is not up to the job

[DryGermanGuy]

Come to think of it, Biden might be an 89 year old man? 🤔

[lightbulb27]

he has to be heavily scripted and edited. the left will vote for him if all they see is a video. It would be smart to make "all" the videos he needs to announce, and then have someone play them when he needs to make an announcement. That way, if he becomes incapacitated in office, he's still President, and who would really know? Heck, they can probably deep fake him at this point.
What's more concerning is the potential for Harris to become president.

[Anonymous]

this old man only dreams of bombing innocent people and blaming russia no way will he get my vote again. he can brainwash the ignorant propaganda consumers who just go about their day and believe every other thing they're bombarded with through the media without proper evidence but he can't food those who go beyond what we are told to research what exactly happen and what lead to the events and not just believe "FACT CHECKS" that end with "OUR conclusion is" or "Biased on OUR research" we determine this to be fake/false/ etc. such ignorance to fall for this old man and his propaganda. Yuck.

[Opinion Owner]

fool*

[jshm2]

Because this isn't the fucking 1850's, where presidential hopefuls had to travel round each city in a horse and fucking cart to let people see, and know, who to vote for.

If you're that much of a fucking dullard to vote loser Trump again, then you're better off moving to North Korea and suck some dong over there instead. Even Trump likes to.

[exitseven]

Still it would be nice to have a president that can stand up before the Anerican people and defend his record. Notice there was not a single mention of any accomplishments. Probably because there were none that you would want to admit to

[gorydetails]

And the clowns on the left will vote for him again.

[exitseven]

I know, right?

[call_me_scar]

Well for one who cares and as for being professional how is a video not professional if it gets a point across that he's running that's good enough it's not like doing it this way matters and last president made arguments over tweeter so professionalism hardly matters anymore

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s being done with a video so that he appears presidential

[exitseven]

So in other words, to fool the American public that he is playing with a full deck.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s the job of a politician. They must appear more polished than they actually are

[exitseven]

It is one thing to fake it, it is quite another to have to hide this guy so nobody sees what a vegetable he is. The remainder of his presidency will literally be Weekend at Bidens.

[BarryLiverstone]

Could you please share a Democrat politician you like or can respect?

[exitseven]

Good question. I really have to think but maybe Rep Golden of Maine. He votes the way his constitutes want instead of following the party line.

[Red_Arrow]

You mean EX-president Trump. And if Trump actually manages to win the primary, Biden will campaign like he did last time, and win like he did last time. Anyway, Trump will be too busy trying to stay out of prison by then.

[exitseven]

You mean steal another election? Trump is going to take advantage of ballot harvesting and mail in ballots and all the other holes in election integrity that democrats exploited. The playing field will be level this time.

[DryGermanGuy]

Nobody stole an election. The dumbass liars at FOX „News“ just had to pay 790 million $ for promoting that nonsense!

[Red_Arrow]

Trump had the same advantages. He used them too. and they are not holes in election integrity. They are just ways of voting that allow more people to vote as they legally can. And like @DryGermanGuy said, The liars at Fox just paid hundreds of millions for telling those lies.

[exitseven]

No, the Republicans just ran like everyone voted in person on election day with paper ballots. It was apparent that the election was not won on the campaign trail but at the ballot box. The Republicans will not make that mistake again

[Akam93]

Mr potato head needs to retire he's mentally unfit and he's done damage to our country.

[Dargil]

Because he might forget what he is saying and announce for re-election as a Senator.

[sage2021]

This ought to tell you what kind of President he is and may be in the future.
Since 70% of democrats don't want him to run again, he's gonna do it anyway.
His new name is Fradie Cat 😸

[Pudsmucker]

President Biden wants to do it in his fortress of solitude. This will give him the security of the fortress. I'm surprised he doesn't wear his hat of aluminum foil to protect him from the brain sucking conservatives.

[Sparkie460]

He's afraid of having tomatoes thrown at him or being boood at if he made a public announcement in person

[AviatorTom]

As I've said many times, I'm hoping for new blood from both parties in 2024. Kennedy for the Democrats, DeSantis and Haley for the Republicans, are candidates in that direction.

[Cubus]

Kennedy is anti-vaccines, so there's no way Democrats would nominate him.

[abc3643]

Anybody can debate President Trump.

All they have to do is act like an adult; something Trump is not very good at because he never had to learn to be one.

[Cubus]

Hope DeSantis wins Republican primary. He would defeat Biden with ease

[Avicenna]

Why would we expect anything different from the guy who couldn't campaign last time. It's a fraud, like everything else with this adminsitration.

[CaptainSmartass]

Because you can't do any retakes with a live announcement.

Simples...

[John_Doesnt]

How braindead would someone have to be to still support Donald at this point? The man is officially indicted for his crimes.

[LiamJHayden]

Stage acting is far more less forgiving than acting on film is.

[mommymommymommy]

Cause he's not trump, and he's not obama

He's himself

Get over it, republicuck

[AngryCarl2]

You really still think Trump is going to run?

[OddBeMe]

Cuz he old as fck. And still a better pick than whoever wins the GOP primary.

[SpudSteer]

Because they edit the video so that he doesn’t fall asleep or drool on stage

[RealMarek]

How? Lots of stimulants.

[worldscolide]

Probably because he didn't coherent enough

[msc545]

Why not use video? What difference does it make?

[exitseven]

He cannot stand in front of even the Democrat operatives with press passes that pass for the White House press corps these days. Even asking what his favorite flavor of ice cream is could end in disaster

[msc545]

I forgot - you are doing your amateur Neuropsychology again...😒😒😒

[Anonymous]

Because the clown is back in the basement?
