  • ITT: A bunch of folks who didn’t read the article.

    The article didn’t say young people were doing worse than before, which it seems like all of you assumed.

    The reason the study found for why youth is no longer one of the “happiest times” is because they showed that people only do better and better as they age. So whereas before your youth would be comparatively happier to your ‘mid-life crisis’, they’re saying that crisis doesn’t occur anymore and we just get happier and happier into midlife and old age. So your younger days didn’t get worse, they just aren’t as great in comparison because the rest of your life gets so much better as time goes on.

    Sounds crazy, I know. But that’s what the article was actually saying.




  • Because after the last debate, where Biden stood slack-jawed and confused for 90 minutes and failed to fill most of his 2-minute answer slots or even complete most of his sentences, he DESPERATELY needs to prove to people that he can think and act on his feet.

    In an effort to prove that, he’s made a series of teleprompted remarks and done interviews with preselected questions. He should be holding townhalls, but instead he’s taking softballs.

    So instead of proving the narrative wrong, he is continuing to reinforce the widespread belief among voters that he is incapable of showing that he’s with it and is nothing more than a senile old man being abused by those around him so they can remain in power. Agree or not - that’s the perception and Biden is reinforcing it every day he doesn’t take real, hard-hitting questions on the fly without the help of a teleprompter or friendly audience/interviewer.








  • Biden and the DNC knew that if he was forced to actually debate in an open primary, he’d be weakened as a candidate and would eventually lose to Trump. So they rigged the primary, hoped they could sneak a senile old man through without us realizing, and now they got caught.

    The people in power are perfectly content to lose the cycle and try again in 2028. Newsom, Whitmer, etc. are all lining up to run against Trump’s VP next cycle since he’s term limited. And the reason Biden hasn’t been thrown overboard yet is that the other potential candidates haven’t decided if they want to throw away their carefully laid plans for 2028 to take a gamble here in 2024.

    The only people that truly believe Trump winning in 2024 means there won’t be an election in 2028 are the most myopic hyper partisan Democrat voters, and they believe that because it’s a useful fallacy for the Democratic elite to have them believe. Because fear is the only motivator they have left at this point. But their actions clearly show that they don’t believe it themselves.
