Joe Biden is a good maybe great president. He is a bad candidate with a completely unclear strategy for re-election against the literal worst candidate of all time. 


his strategy is to protest results from the precinct level on up. Every maga person will scream voter fraud, fake ballots, ballot stuffing. Maga states are ready to play along. Texas is ready to throw out Harris county votes, if needed. Wouldn’t doubt if they plant some fake voters to assure they have ‘evidence’ 

Team trump’s hope is for the house to throw it all out and then the Supreme Court to rubber stamping it

there's basically no policy being driven by the admin for current issues that actual impact Americans in big ways (social media, big tech, centralized everything, grift utilities and infrastructure etc)

I’d rather they eliminate the whole entire federal student loan program and let education prices adjust combined with a general student loan forgiveness, because the entire program is a scam on middle class people.  But the forgiveness is well targeted stimulus at least, which is more than I can say for any of the last 4-5 stimulus programs. 

This would also force school costs to be balanced to the correct level. The school loan program only funnels increasing amounts of money to schools to help with almost everything but classroom needs.

Look at the increase in administration funding over the last 30 years

Or say "no thanks" which is what the fuck up is. 

We know the shit eaters who want extra broken glass on their plate exist. 

We know people who like airplane rubber chicken exist. 

We know people who don't like either exist. 

It's why Hillary lost to Donald Trump the first time and it's why Biden may be in trouble this time. Unenthusiastic people stay home and don't vote. 

you alright, dude? again, it's fucking June. chill the fuck out.

Most countries and their leaders desperately want the US President to visit. On the horrible scenario if Trump wins in November, think about the embarrassment to the US when these countries have to pause their no-felon law when Trump plans to visit.

I think they'd still uphold their own national integrity of laws and ask...

"Well if President Trump is ineligible to visit, what about his Secretary of State?"

-Also, a convicted felon

"Okay, how about your Deputy Secretary of State?"

-Again, convicted felon

"Can we meet with the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy?" 

-Once again, Trump-appointed felon 

"Well, who do you have we can host and meet with?"

-We have Richard from the Copy Room.  Is that anything?

In a single day?  Yeah, that's a pretty good punch.  Not unprecedented, but not common - Daily drops of $3 or more are relatively rare.

if Donald Trump doesn’t conspire with Russia to flood social media with untruths and the FBI doesn’t kneecap Hillary right before the vote, she still wins even carrying 25 years of Vince Foster bullshit

As it turns out, the Kingdom ain't so great at managing money.  Who knew putting indoor ski slopes in the desert and paying billions to golfers and wrestlers wasn't a solid financial move?

please let this be real.    I understand that they can’t be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen unless they’re pregnant, but this seems too big and electoral to give us.  The simulation is not that kind.

Immamac's posts are just another explanation of how "moderate/undecided/disengaged" voters require perfection of any democrat from solely their individual perspective, and if that doesn't happen (which is literally impossible), well I guess I'll just vote for the angry one who says government sucks, or just won't vote because "both sides suck" which usually results in right wingers who do nothing winning elections. There's no solution to that problem for democrats, the majority of American's have full on brain rot, to the fucking core, there is nothing that will ever be enough for these people.

Moderate does not reconcile with Undecided/Disengaged.

I'm posting about "likely" voters.

I'm none of those things and am easily voting for Biden a second time it's not even a choice. It wouldn't even be a choice if the Republicans chose someone who wasn't trump. 

A lot of you must really like your bubbles because the real world has a lot more of what I'm talking about than here on a politics board where everyone is engaged.

Thomas has already said the Supreme Court needs to look at the rulings that led to legal birth control, mixed-race marriage, etc.  There's a handful of rulings that legal birth control, mixed-race marriage, birth control being used between non-married adults and being shipped across state lines, homosexual relations, etc. rely upon (think of it as a Jenga tower), and the abortion block was just removed.

John is giving Jonathan a run for title of King of the Dipshits.

Moderator, Frank Luntz

John, how can you be undecided?

John, 58, Pennsylvania, white, customer relations

Well, I would say Biden now is off the table after today, but I think today’s action —

Moderator, Frank Luntz

Biden?

John, 58, Pennsylvania, white, customer relations

— is off the table for me. Yes, Biden.

Hilary, 55, California, white, social worker

Because of the verdict?

John, 58, Pennsylvania, white, customer relations

Yes, because —

Hilary, 55, California, white, social worker

Do you find him a bit culpable for this, in a sense?

John, 58, Pennsylvania, white, customer relations

I think Biden looks ungracious and looks incredibly weak to me. I can envision a scenario where a lot of undecideds who maybe won’t pull the lever for Trump run to Robert Kennedy Jr.

Moderator, Frank Luntz

But I’ve never had someone blame another candidate for the failure of the original candidate. And that’s exactly what you’re doing here.

John, 58, Pennsylvania, white, customer relations

And I was very highly critical of Trump in 2019, and that’s what led to his first impeachment when he was trying to fish after and go after Biden politically. I thought that was a mistake. He lost my vote on that in 2020. But I don’t know. I guess I thought Joe Biden was above this.

Jorge, 52, California, Latino, medical field

I agree with you.

Hilary, 55, California, white, social worker

May I ask — is it based on anything that Joe Biden said after the verdict?

John, 58, Pennsylvania, white, customer relations

I think it’s just a campaign tagline: Trump, convicted felon.

John now won't vote for Biden because he's making a factual statement on the campaign trail that Donald Trump is a convicted felon.  And, of course, if it was the other way around, Trump would be spiking the football at every opportunity.

Those NY Times voter interviews can get so ridiculous that they could be mistaken for The Onion.

And yet, there are people among each and every one of us, on this forum, in our communities, in our daily lives that are.....ahem...less intellectual than these people.  And they vote, too.

I think he *didnt* say mixed race. That’s what made it funny.  He said all these substantive due process cases are suspect, listed them out, *somehow* forgot about Loving.

Everyone should read this link it's all text no ads and worth the read. Jonathan is a fucking moron, but this is a reflection of the real world where people haven't really been particularly checked in or completely sold on either candidate. 

Jonathan comparing trump to the sopranos as a guy that does stuff for us so we don't have to is some of the most broken brained shit I've ever read.

Correct.  That was the real chef's kiss.  He listed ALL the major SDP cases as "these are bullshit and we should kill them all," but for SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON, left out Loving v. Virginia.

He's a giant hypocritical corrupt piece of shit. He truly is the worst SCOTUS justice we've ever had.

Another thought I had this morning is how in 2024 when computers, social media, electronics and computers in general are dominating society and for the large part industry are we voting on a president between 3 people that don’t have the first fucking clue how any of this works to the point where they have no opinion other than “national security, build chips here and don’t sell them to China” 

this is the biggest glaring hole in the entire thing right now. I want to see Bidens team put together a plan and have him present it in a believable way that he has a basic understanding of what he’s saying. That would be great. 

fucking AI is going crazy and there’s just silence from the people running for office it’s actually hilarious.

This is pathetic and out of touch. It’s not wrong or bad. I’m not shitting on Biden for doing the wrong things etc I’m saying it’s just a huge missed opportunity that is so obvious and that everyone cares about, yet no soundbites clips or interviews on this.

Using Tony Soprano as an example of someone that does the dirty work so our hands can stay clean tracks with people that religiously watched The Apprentice for years who have the mindset that "hey, this person knows how to get shit done!  He  has my vote!"

Life imitating art.

If Biden announced a plan to combat AI, 40% of the population would immediately pledge undying loyalty to the new AI overlords.
