that /r/politicope 
finally look at themselves in the mirror 
in a "are we r-slurred?" (
This is absolutely infuriating
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you really believe you're not behind right now?
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I think it's in-- all the pollsters I talk to tell me it's a tossup. It's a tossup. And when I'm behind, there's only one poll I'm really far behind, CBS Poll and NBC, I mean, excuse me. And-- uh--
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: New York-- New York Times and NBC both have-- have you about six points behind in the popular vote.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: That's exactly right. New York Times had me behind before, anything having to do with this race-- had me hind-- behind ten points. Ten points they had me behind. Nothing's changed substantially since the debate in the New York Times poll.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Just when you look at the reality, though, Mr. President, I mean, you won the popular vote-- in-- in 2020, but it was still deadly close in the electoral college--
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: By 7 million votes.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Yes. But you're behind now in the popular vote.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I don't-- I don't buy that.
I thought we were the party that lives in the real world and responds appropriately to new information. But I guess everyone is just going down the path where it's totally cool to say "I reject your reality and substitute my own"
(to quote the wonderful Adam Savage).
Also this response is just incoherent
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, what I'm try-- what I want to get at is, what were you experiencing as you were going through the debate? Did you know how badly it was going?
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Yeah, look. The whole way I prepared, nobody's fault, mine. Nobody's fault but mine. I, uh-- I prepared what I usually would do sittin' down as I did come back with foreign leaders or National Security Council for explicit detail. And I realized--bout partway through that, you know, all-- I get quoted the New York Times had me down, at ten points before the debate, nine now, or whatever the heck it is. The fact of the matter is, what I looked at is that he also lied 28 times. I couldn't-- I mean, the way the debate ran, not-- my fault, no one else's fault, no one else's fault.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that's what this is about.
This makes me so so angry. It's like joe doesn't care about me or what will happen to my family at all...
DRUMPFLERMORT WILL LITERALLY COMMIT LITERAL GENOCIDE AGAINST ME YOU CHUD, YEAH HE ALSO GENOCIDED ME IN 2016 TOO, BUT THIS TIME IT WILL BE EVEN MORE GENOCIDER, THERE WILL NOT BE AN ELECTION IN 2028 NOR EVER AGAIN BECAUSE WE WILL ALL BE SENT TO EXTERMINATION CAMPS THIS WILL CAUSE A CIVIL WAR AND THEN NUCLEAR WAR WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 
What's he supposed to say???? "I will stage an insurrection!"
This is at least what he thought the question was getting at, which is why he's saying he'll accept the results.
Because the upper-level DNC bureaucrats and economic elites of the country know that this Project 2025 autism is all Heritage Foundation masturbatory fanfics that will not happen, and redditors will return to sperging about voting in the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIMES in 2028 and then in 2032 and 2036 again? 
That answer alone should end his candidacy ASAP. Still cannot believe that was his response
Apparently it has infuriated congress members. It really might be the thing that pushes them to demand him out
If this was the republicans doing this with this candidate, we would be giving them so much shit. Such hypocrisy
Democracy being on the ballot is clearly just a buzzword the campaign came up with. They don't actually give a shit.
even if Project 2025 is the actual installation of a christomagachudbigotnaziorangevoldemortpalpatinefascist dictatorship in the USA that redditors are non-stop sperging about, then the Dems do not care about stopping it, "VOOT BLOO CHUD" is their only solution to prevent the economic and geopolitical destruction of the United States?, give me a fricking break, the powers that be would have already gotten rid of Trump if he wanted to send the US to economic ruin and genocides 
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And-- did you ever watch the debate afterwards?
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I don't think I did, no.
The man can't remember if he watched the debateβ¦just watch the interview. It was like the debate all over again except he was well rested this timeβ¦and tan.
Transcript might actually hurt him more than help him on this oneβ¦

The cuban missile crisis was a problem because it happened before the nuclear triad was fully fleshed out, meaning a first strike from cuba had a real chance of preventing a US counter attack or seriously degrading it.
NATO is a 900 pound gorilla and russia is an 80 pound crackhead these days. Ukraine being in NATO has no relevance in a war between NATO and Russia, the cuban missile crisis threatened to degrade a nuclear counter attack during a peer conflict.
Any other questions?

Because at the time the missiles had limited range and them being on Cuba was an existential threat. Its why both sides compromised by moving missiles further away.
We can now launch an ICBM from anywhere one the globe and hit Russia, not to mention with Crimea still under Russian occupation Ukraine could not join NATO so it wasn't a threat.
And if Russias plan was to stop countries bordering it joining NATO the plan has clearly backfired considering Finland ended its neutrality.

wonder if the is was at all influenced by the former Raytheon executive that he appointed as is Secretary of Defense
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/08/us/politics/lloyd-austin-pentagon-military-contractors.html
He also was appointed to that position despite not being a civilian which required a a waiver of rules designed to preserve civilian control of the military and prevent coup de tas.
