Democracy must really annoy you.

Why you call it "democracy"? It is gerontocracy. 

 

You may be genocidal, but you ain't stupid, @Moses.

You're right.  You know shit about democracy, and care even less.  Let's talk about gerontocracy, which you know a lot about.

It's true that both Biden and Trump fall in that category, just like the old communists above.  

I'll stretch the comparison.  In some ways the US is a lot like the USSR of that period.  And in some ways it is the exact opposite.

I think the similarity is we are going to have our own period of perestroika.   Most Presidents since 1992 have been Baby Boomers.  The exceptions have been Obama, who was a bit younger.  And Biden, who is too old to even be an aging Boomer.  When Clinton and Gore were elected, having a Boomer POTUS was young and fresh.  Now it is old and stale. 

The country does want change, but also is not quite ready for it.  If we were, we could have dumped Biden and Trump, of course.  We didn't.  It does have this feeling of clinging to the past.  Because at least we know what that is politically.  One side even has an appropriately backward looking motto:  Make America Great Again. 

Poor old things.  Demographically, at some point Millennials and Gen Z will simply take over, like the Boomers did in the 1990's.  I can't wait.  Some of the outlines are already clear.  It will be more progressive.  And it may be a wild ride, at least politically.

In the case of the USSR, it was also the beginning of the end.  Or, arguably, the end of the end.  The political and economic systems were so fucked up that they simply could not be saved.  Poor Vlad.  Somehow he is trying to restore the rot.  Wonder why he is having such problems?  But I get how people all over the world can look at the US shit show (although similar trends are happening in Europe, and most democracies) and draw comparisons.  Like the US is in decline.  And maybe democracy is even nearing collapse. 

Wouldn't you love it, @Moses?  Long live Genocide Man and autocracy!  May a million Ukrainians die!  😲

Then again, maybe not.  This is where the US is the exact opposite of the Gerontocracy Russia of old.  As well as Putin's Genocide Russia of today.  We have the most dynamic economy in the world.  China will catch up to us ........................ never!  Economically, or politically. 

Poor Vlad.  His best hope to grow at the same rate as the US (which is like saying a tiny parasite is technically growing at the same rate as a tiger) is to be extremely efficient at building a regional war economy.  To work optimally, Genocide Man needs to get better and better at using millions of Russian men as fuel, to be turned into fertilizer.  At some point you may find ethnic minorities less willing to do that, even for the nice pay the families of the human fertilizer get.  That won't help when it is time for Russia to go away and break up.  People don't forget this shit.  You should know, @Moses.  People in [name any country in Europe or Eurasia] sure didn't want to be part of the USSR when it fell apart.  Meanwhile, the problem the US has is too many people are trying to get in.  

But that's not the biggest problem.  We have the best educated young generations ever.  Making more than ever because they have more skills than ever.  Granted, Vlad has some very talented engineers working hard to build better bombs.  But that only gets you so far.  Many of the young people in Russia who could be building the tech companies listed in ETFs like SOXL and FNGU are getting the fuck out of Russia.  They want to rich.  Not fertilizer.

So at some point - not actually too long from now - someone not named Biden or Trump will be POTUS.  And she will leading the most powerful economy, military, and political system in the world.  

You can't have that @Moses.  You get genocide, a war economy, and rot.  But look on the bright side.  There is money to be in turning your people into fertilizer.

So many words just to agree with fact: US is gerontocracy which fighting for to keep control on World?

I don't see Trump showing up for the debates, anymore than he followed up with "wanting to testify". Yesterday he was speaking in Nevada without a teleprompter. From the podium he starts shouting that he was going to stiff yet another small time contractor and not pay yet another bill. He was even more lost than he usually is, rambling on about sharks and getting electrocuted in a sunken boat.  It'd be insane anywhere, but in Nevada - sharks in the desert. 

At the debate Biden will attempt to talk policy. We'll see if the moderators and/or organizers will have an empty chair there for the Former President.

Seriously, President Biden will be appearing with a convicted felon.  

Perhaps if some physical barriers were staged, the audience would sense the comparison. 

No way should Biden shake hands with the orange turd, IMO,  Keep them separated.

There's a double entendre there.

Trump is nuts.

But if Biden starts talking to an empty chair, I don't think it's possible for him to stumble and mumble more than Clint Eastwood did.

Or, here's a thought.

If Trump is a no show, let Obama sit in the empty chair and talk to Trump's empty podium?

The Former President, so much empty, so little time.  

On a serious note.  There are changes to the format, to focus on the questions and answers, so it's just the moderators and the candidates.  How will each of them perform without an adoring crowd?

Fake news CNN's creative mic muting will minimize Biden's ramblings and also cut off Trump the moment his time's up...

...Trump has to get on-point with short, direct responses & messaging.
Yes. Every Trump response should start either with “Hunter’s laptop is true” or “Joe lied when he said the laptop was Russian misinformation” or “Hur said Joe committed numerous felonies with confidential documents but wouldn’t be prosecuted because he is an old man in cognitive decline” or “Joe ran inflation up to 9% after I had it stable at less than 2%” or any of about 2 dozen short unreported truths about the incompetence and lying of this administration.
Use the time for free commercials about truths.

This all may not make a difference as standing up for 90 minutes at the debate and having to talk and stay coherent will end Dementia Biden's chances permanently.

As this has exactly what to do with the topic?

Without a link to an msn.com fake news story, your posts are incoherent.
