politics

Im with you. Honestly im not sure there is a possible stance I would be happy with. Its like being happy with the strategy used in viet nam.

no. running shit candidates is how they lose. no one is entitled to someones vote or support.

dnc wants to win? then look at what your base wants. their approach has always been “you take what we give you” and that resulted in donald fucking trump.

Ah America. Where we have the great options of genocidal maniac or other genocidal maniac. You see, we're better, because we have the freedom to choose!

Who knew that Millennials would hate casual genocide?

I mean, that's kind of the biggest complaint about Biden and the whole moderate wing...

They act like nothing ever changes and they don't have to react. There's a shit ton of urgent problems they just won't address because they don't give a shit.

They don't honestly have any goals or things to accomplish other than being elected.

So why are we still electing them? The only positive to electing a moderate Dem is a Republican doesn't win. It's why America has been steadily backsliding for decades, and if we keep electing them it'll keep happening.

Best case scenario, politicians like Biden are a "pause button" on America's collapse. And for the people who still have decades of life left, that's just not good enough for us.

"The terrorists are using schools as shields though!"

Guess you shouldn't use artillery strikes and bombing runs then.

Child killers are on both sides though so who are you to speak?

The issue isn't holding a moral high ground or playing into ultimatums of mutually assured destruction since they're already there.

Its possible, but how smooth brained would someone have to be to vote for Trump over this?

The problem with Presidency. More people approve of his decision than disapprove. Either choice would have fucked him next November.

Lucky for him, Encumbants get a huge leg-up on the reelection bid and need to basically be guilty of treason not to win.

I hope nearly everyone realizes that. I can't tell if the psyop bots have made their way here already, or if people are really this unbelievably idiotic, but either way, I can't write off Trump winning and doing far more nefarious bullshit than ever before. He will make Florida look like a leftie sanctuary.

I guess the mountain of bigotry, corruption, destabilizing geopolitical decision, dismantling of key government institutions, massive wealth transfer to the .1% during 2016-2020 along with the attempted coup, stacked courts, and Roe V Wade somehow wasn't enough to convince some people that allowing Trump to win will speed run us to Gilead.

I find it extremely difficult to believe anyone who lived through the Trump years who isn't an idiot or a bigot could ever allow that senile madman back in office. Which is why I have to wonder if there's some psyop shit going down. But if he does win, what little shred of hope I retain for this country will be gone and I will need to look into living elsewhere, somehow for the safety of my family.

I mean, almost half the members of his own party disagree with him, not the nation as a whole. If this doesn’t go away, it is not good news.

The old adage come to mind that, “The left fall in love, and the right fall in line.” The right will more reliably vote for “their guy”, but I’ve seen so many losses on the left because of disenchantment.

Very few people switch between the two parties...

But around a third of Americans just don't vote.

And stuff like this makes people not vote. And when turnout is low, we end up with republicans in office.

Getting people to show up to vote is kind of the most important thing in an election...

For some reason when it's a moderate dem candidate, it's no longer their job to get votes. It's the voters job to be the adult and vote for someone they dont want who will do things they do t agree with, because the other option will do things they don't agree with

Do you honestly not understand how this is a terrible strategy and maybe, just maybe, wed be better off running good candidates that will try to help?

Not just about this, but with pretty much every major issues facing America today.

Pro-Tip - Nobody serious will primary him.

The history of primarying a sitting President is that if you do the damage, you won't win, but the President will fail in the General.

Biden is almost guaranteed to be the Democrat nominee. They aren't going to do a serious campaign against their own incumbent.

The 2024 election is going to be Biden vs Trump unless one of them dies or goes to jail.
