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.

    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.)

          “Vote me or things will be worse, I’ll keep everything as bad as it is!”

          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.)
