This is a reminder that this guy has very large chances to go back in the office and be president of the United States once again. We are so fucked and I am saying this as someone who is not American.
And sadly, the DNC is going to cause it, because they’re trapped in the 90s. Bill Clinton, who was elected president in 1993, is younger today than the person they’re throwing into the ring 31 years later.
I live in California, which is going to go Democrat no matter what, so there’s not much I can do but sit back and watch Biden lose swing states.
Hillary’s refusal to bow out when it was clear how deeply unpopular she was put Trump in office in 2016, and I’m going to be shocked if Biden’s same arrogance doesn’t cause it this year.
Biden’s gonna “hold onto the torch a little longer” out of pride, and we’re all gonna suffer for it.
the DNC is going to cause it
It is not the fault of the DNC that the Republicans are full fascist. I wish there were a more compelling candidate that Biden but put the blame where it belongs. Squarely on the shoulders of the GOP and their voters.
See, it’s funny because when I say, “just vote for whoever you believe best represents you, politically”, I get told that I need to address the practical realities of politics, and that sticking to ideals is wrong for me to do (and that it is thus incumbent upon me to vote for Biden).
Often the phrase, “a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for Trump” or similar gets deployed.
But when I say, “okay, the practical reality is that Biden is looking more and more likely to actually lose to Trump, so the DNC forcing bad candidates like him through is wrong, and making Trump more likely to win”, I get told it’s actually the fault of the GOP.
Yes, it is of course on Republicans for voting for bad people. But if it’s wrong for me to ignore that they will, and vote for whoever best represents me (and trust in democracy and the citizenry to deliver the person most-liked by most people), then it’s also wrong for the DNC to choose their preferred but likely-to-lose candidates like Hillary (and now Biden) over candidates who would have been likely to beat Trump.
Can’t have it both ways.
Biden was trailing Trump nationally before the genocide in Gaza. Before the special counsel report talking about him presenting himself as old and forgetful. Before the press conference meant to repudiate that report, in which Biden then went on to basically prove it correct.
Our best hope is Republicans doing something so incredibly stupid that they shoot their entire metaphorical torso off, because at this point shooting themselves in the foot alone may not be enough.
Can’t have it both ways.
Wow, what a fucking bad faith argument. Nobody is telling you who to vote for in the primaries.
