Well yeah… Him winning and then getting out of there would be ideal. Sadly, he is very unlikely to win at this point.
Gonna need that debate to be at 2pm… 9pm was way past Joey’s bedtime.
Oh no, definitely both of them suck, and both are showing cognitive decline. Biden is just showing it worse. Or maybe it’s just that Trump has always been a rambling moron, so it’s harder to tell if he’s having a senior moment or just being himself.
Either way, Trump’s supporters are too stupid to care or even notice his mental health. Half of them probably don’t even believe in mental health. The people Biden needs to vote for him do notice and care though. It’s just a fact of life, and the DNC really needs to come to terms with reality.
Sure wish the DNC and Biden would heed the call
The Dems could still push Biden to drop out and replace him with someone who might actually have a chance
“One weak point” as in progressive’s only weak argument, or as in the only thing Biden is weak on that they want?
Because there are quite a few other things Biden is weak on that progressives want.
They show up more than millennials, x, or boomers did at that age
Both are very true… I wish the DNC was willing to do whatever it takes to defeat him, even if that means going with a progressive candidate
The DNC needs to accept that this is the group they need to go after… And accept it for what it is, not think they’re magically going to change… Convince Biden to drop out and nominate a progressive if they want to win.
If your district is definitely going blue then you could safely vote 3rd party… Think of it as a vote to change the fptp system. There is no way the system will ever change if we don’t start forcing it to.
They forgot to give him his stims last night /s
According to this recent study, young people who want a more progressive option
"A majority (60%) think the U.S. should increase spending on social programs and increase taxes on businesses and wealthy Americans.
This survey finds no evidence that a rightward ideological shift would solve Biden’s problems with swing voters. Swing voters broadly think Biden needs to take more action to solve our country’s problems and broadly lean left on economic and social issues. Only 16% say that Biden being “too liberal” is a reason they might not vote for him.
The top two issues swing voters select as actions that would make them definitely vote for Biden are raising taxes on the wealthy (23%) and raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour (18%)."
Ineligible? Bernie could be on his death bed, he’d still be more “eligible” than Trump or Biden. Honestly, at this point, does the US even have eligibility requirements for POTUS?
Oh no, the rich will keep doing what they’ve been doing for 50 years!
Bernie would tax the shit out of the rich and use that to create tons of jobs… Maybe not useless McDonald’s jobs though… more like rebuilding the infrastructure jobs
Unlikely to vote= because there’s no one worth voting for
Undecided= probably mostly non existent
Run a Bernie or AOC and pull far more “unlikely to vote” people off the bench than the handful of fence riders it’ll lose
No one who was going to vote for Joe wouldn’t vote for Bernie… It’s not like anyone is voting FOR Joe, they’re just voting against Trump, and if that means Bernie then so be it
The best we could get from the DNC would be to have Biden resign and Kamala step in… Technically she’d be “the incumbent”… She’d probably still lose though
Yeah… We’re all going to vote for him if he’s the nominee… But he’s still going to lose… That’s the point, the point progressives have been making all along. BIDEN. WILL. LOSE. Like the sun will rise in the east, it’s just a fact of nature. They need to nominate someone who will get Gen z excited to come out, so at least there’s a chance of stopping Trump.
