@wyrmeboi As a second point of debate, what gives you the right to discard the votes in the state primary elections?
@sirgeefive We all have watched older relatives or friends in decline. The successful agers do great late in life... until they don't. Thereafter the path of decline is very steep. That is my experience. The primary votes were cast before the worst of his decline became apparent. Also, 2/3rds of voters now say he should be step back. That also is a mandate.
@wyrmeboi You are referring to 2/3 of voters. Can you show me actual data rather than conjecture? I will also again ask you what your qualifications are for diagnosing a person with a decline in cognitive functions? What doctorate do you possess? So far as I know, most professional doctors refuse to diagnose a condition without seeing the patient in person.
@wyrmeboi "The poll of 1,253 adults was conducted July 11-15, 2024, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points."
So, 2/3 of 1,253 people that AmeriSpeak was able to poll answered in the affirmative. This is nowhere near 2/3 of voters. Polls really can't be trusted. See the last election for proof.
@sirgeefive Right, well, you are asking me to tell you what all voters think? I can't obviously. But I can tell you what I heard canvassing today, as I walked the pavement, or what I hear in the political office I work in, and what recent polling says. Oh, and while I can't tell you what internal Dem. polling says, I can tell you that both Schumer and Jefferies talked to Joe about stepping back after they received that internal polling. You can figure out what it showed them. #politics
@wyrmeboi No, I am countering your point and saying that you are not speaking for all voters. You are using a poll, many of these are incorrect, inconclusive and funded by oligarchs. The only thing I have asked of your is your personal justification for your statements. I have asked you stop using the arguments of others as proof as they are not your arguments. Why are you not referring to Trump at all? Why is your only focus on Biden?
@sirgeefive Oh. I have a doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia. I earned that PhD working in a psychology department.
@wyrmeboi So you are a neuroscientist attempting to make a professional diagnosis?
@wyrmeboi I think you might want to check out the Goldwater rule.
