President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.
“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.
You know… if he really cared about beating trump in november, he should step down and then campaign for his successor.
He’s said the only reason he’s running is trump…
But also he said “50 other Dems” could beat trump.
So it seems like less that he’s running to stop trump from winning, and more knowing trump is his easiest opponent.
If all he cares about was stopping trump, yeah, he wouldn’t have ran in the 2020. Let alone 2024 when he’s polling even worse.
Like Clinton before him, he’s willing to risk trump because he thinks trump is one of the few candidates that would make someone vote D to prevent.
I hear that.
And what’s hilarious is… most democrats are eating that shit up.
I wouldn’t say that.
Voting is easy and convenient for me. I’m voting D like I do every election. Just not happy I don’t have a say in who that is for the next four years
The problem is people that don’t always vote because they have to fight suppression.
“Vote me or things will be worse, I’ll keep everything as bad as it is!”
Doesn’t really get them out to the polls…
And that’s not opinion, we know it often doesn’t work. It’s just also the only way conservative Dems can still win. So that’s what we’re going to keep seeing
Sadly, thanks to Republicans, it isn’t for a lot of people. By design, because those people are more likely to vote for Democrats.
we haven’t had a say in that since I’ve been voting… probably. Certainly since I’ve been paying attention to the primaries. ('16 is what really got me hyper focussed on them.)
They’ve been saying that for as long as I’ve been voting, too. (actually both sides have been using lesser of two evils… which this is just an extension of.)
No. Bringing in fresh blood now would only confuse people and ruin his political brand. Biden is the only person who can beat Trump at this point. Not voting, or voting for Trump because you think Biden is too old for the job is asinine. Trump is literally 3 years younger than Biden.
I don’t think he’s too old.
I think he’s too incompetent.
His own SecDef was out of pocket for a week without telling him. His DoJ took over two and a half years to recover heavily classified materials from Trump- and they’re still missing one of the single most sensitive binders Trump had access to.
It nearly took 3 years for Trump to face the possibility of consequences for his insurrection, and as it stands we might not get convictions until after he is elected.
I don’t think he’s too old- I think he’s too out of touch with the majority of American voters. Make no bones about it- he’s a conservative in democrat clothing- republicans have shifted so far right they’re now regressive and he happily slid into their old space.
I think he’s too worried about protecting Israel and not worried enough about building climate resilience in the US, and too worried about his image and not worried enough about them whole Fascists Using Political Violence thing.
In short, I think another Biden administration is going to be the end of America. Not the same end that would happen with Trump …. But Biden ain’t on a path to save America either.
And, who, pray tell, is this mythical successor that would do better?
Give me a name, please. It’s so easy to say “young Democrat that everyone likes” should run instead of Biden. But what actual person is that?
I see your name far too often zaph, and the reason it’s too often rather than nice to see is you lower the discouse of every thread you touch.
Would love to hear your answer to this as well. We all know you don’t have one because you’re clearly just virtue signaling.
There’s a type that needs shit spelled out for them isn’t there?
You didn’t answer their question.
Oh dear, did you gather from context that i was going to?
Always happy to leave an impression!
