PARODY: Biden's Debate Strategy ~ Silence, Cannibals, and Sympathy Strings

Writer's picture: The ElephantThe Elephant

The stage is set for what promises to be the most entertaining spectacle of the year: the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. With the event slated for June 27th, top Democratic strategists have put their heads together and come up with a foolproof plan to ensure Biden's victory. Brace yourself for a masterclass in debate tactics that are as unconventional as they are hilarious.


First on the list is a strategy straight out of a Zen master’s playbook: saying absolutely nothing . The idea is simple yet brilliant. Why risk saying something that could be used against you when silence can speak volumes? Picture Biden standing there, staring serenely into the camera, nodding occasionally, and letting Trump’s words bounce off him like raindrops on an umbrella. It's a move that redefines the power of non-verbal communication. Who needs words when you have... well, nothing?


When it comes to the border crisis, Biden’s strategists have hit the comedy jackpot. Instead of tackling the tough questions head-on, Biden is advised to pivot to a story about his Uncle Ambrose being eaten by Cannibals in New Guinea. The logic? If you can’t solve the crisis, distract with something so outlandish that everyone forgets the original question. "Building walls wouldn’t have helped my Uncle Joe," Biden might say, looking somber. "Those cannibals didn’t care about walls. They cared about dinner."


Next, addressing the issue of runaway inflation and the struggling economy, Biden is encouraged to spin it into a bizarrely optimistic job story.  "Americans are working twice as many jobs as they were under Trump," he’ll declare with a grin. "Two or three jobs are better than one! We’re fostering a nation of multi-taskers." It’s an ingenious twist on the American Dream: not one, but multiple jobs for everyone!


And then there’s the tricky topic of Hunter Biden. The strategy here is pure melodrama. Biden’s plan? Play the victim and tug the heartstrings of the TV audience. "Hunter’s just a boy who made a few mistakes," Biden might say, eyes misting over. "But he's my boy, and I love him." Cue the violins, the soft lighting, and perhaps a strategically placed tear. It's not about evading the issue; it's about turning it into a Lifetime movie moment.


 But wait, there’s more! Biden’s strategists have prepared him for every possible curveball.


When asked about foreign policy blunders, Biden should a recall his childhood memories of chasing fireflies in Scranton. "You know, dealing with North Korea is a lot like trying to catch fireflies," he might muse. "They’re unpredictable, and sometimes you just need a good old Mason jar." This charming anecdote should successfully deflect any serious scrutiny while painting a nostalgic picture of simpler times.


Under the subject of climate change, Biden is prepped to launch into a detailed monologue about his extensive collection of houseplants. "I've got a fern named Fernie, and let me tell you, he’s a real oxygen producer," he’ll say with pride. "If we all just had more houseplants, we could fix the climate crisis. It’s simple botany, folks!" This strategy is sure to leave viewers both baffled and bemused.


And when it comes to health care reform, Biden plans to unveil his groundbreaking idea of free Band-Aids for every American.  "It’s a start," he’ll argue. "A Band-Aid might not solve all your problems, but it sure helps with the small stuff. And it’s the small stuff that counts." Critics might call it a band-aid solution, but hey, it’s catchy!


Of course, these strategies are just the beginning. One can only imagine what other gems the Democratic strategists have up their sleeves. Perhaps Biden will claim he invented the internet or start discussing his favorite ice cream flavors when asked about what he is going to do about growing crime in America's inner cities. The possibilities are endless, and each more absurd than the last.


So, mark your calendars for June 27th. Get your popcorn ready and prepare for a debate like no other. With Biden’s new strategies, it promises to be an evening of high comedy, low blows, and a masterclass in political theater.


Who will win? Who cares? The real winners are the viewers, treated to a night of unintentional comedy show and strategic lunacy.
