democracy itself on the line, the 2024 election will almost certainly be the nation’s most consequential since 1860. It will also be the weirdest. two facts about this campaign that do not appear to be making much of an impact on what seems to be close to a majority of the electorate. The first more obvious one is few people in history have ever been less qualified to hold a position of any responsibility, ...than Donald Trump. If elected, he will certainly deploy that power to destroy virtually everything Americans have historically held dear about the nation’s democratic traditions.
The second, less obvious, but no less objective fact is that Joe Biden has been a remarkably good president. His embrace of Bibi Netanyahu has clearly had disastrous consequences for Israel, Gaza, the United States, and for his own reelection prospects. But in terms of the way presidents are traditionally measured, Biden has been a smash. The U.S. economy is the envy of the world. Yes, inflation is higher than one would like, but jobs are plentiful, and so are raises for the people in them; wages are rising faster than inflation, as it happens. Violent crime is way down. Infrastructure investments are way up since 2020. Student loans are being forgiven. The labor movement is rebounding. We are leading the world in defending democracy in Ukraine.
Consider just a few of Trump’s qualities that quite recently would have disqualified him in the eyes of all responsible voices in the discourse. I have no room to do justice to even a fraction, so I’ll have to stick to just keywords: insurrectionist; election denier; pathological liar; corrupt; racist; antisemite; (digital) rapist; serial adulterer; Islamophobe; con man; tax cheat; patsy to dictator; wannabe dictator; isolationist; bully; psychopathically narcissist; sociopath; almost certainly medically demented.

Trump is less qualified? B effing S!
A crooked politician with dementia that is a letting millions of illegals into the country is better qualified? The list of outright acts of his regime that is hurting our nation is endless.
The author of this article is obviously targeting the useful idiots, pumping them up for the upcoming election riots.
The projector runs 24/7 for the Left.
“Why aren’t I fifty points ahead ?”
Less qualified???
The qualified got us 34 trillion zillion in debt, the violent lawless borders are wide open with millions flooding in. Crime and homeless everywhere. Foreign policies are an epic dumpster fire. Public schools/universities teach hate America and the government at every level is corrupt.
The "qualified" did all this, so I'm supporting the unqualified 100%.
Another leftist person of the Jewish faith who thinks he is immune from dictatorships and their politics. He sees Bidens antisemitism and yet remains blinded by his own hatred of those protecting his rights. Sad actually.
The projector projects. That’s what it does. And it won’t stop until you are driven stark raving mad.
If this guy worries about Trump returning to the Oval Office, imagine how the puppeteers will feel?
Ah yes...the Hildebeest
It's not lying if you believe you're telling the truth.
B.S.!!!!!
Democracy itself on the line
End of story it’s one of those again.
One word answer: “Biden.”
The author of the article is clearly not in touch with reality. And hates America.
“democray itself is on the line”
AI
You lost me right there, Eric.
Sounds like you could use some of this.
This guy has to be taking the piss. Everything here describes exactly Joe Biden, and WITH receipts easily sourced in seconds - not just blotting undies and hurt feefees.
The total lack of intellectual curiosity exhibited by Eric Alterman and others of his ilk should be noted as the eight wonder of the modern world.
Alterman is well known commie. He’s been around for ever. This is gas lighting to the nth degree.
I wonder if Afghanis falling from transport aircraft were thinking “Joe Biden is a remarkably good president”?
OMG. What an infantile rant.
