President Joe Biden on Sunday ticked through a list of reasons he says a second Donald Trump presidency would be a “nightmare” for the country as he urged Nevada Democrats to vote for him in the state’s presidential primary this week and for his party at large in November.

Biden opened a campaign swing with a fundraiser where he focused on Trump’s ample history of provocative statements — his description of Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages,” his musing about a former top military officer deserving execution, his branding of fallen soldiers as “suckers” and “losers,” his wish to be a Day One “dictator,” his vow to supporters that “I am your retribution,” and more.

Then it was on to a community center in a predominantly Black section of Las Vegas, where he told his crowd of several hundred that “you’re the reason we’ll make Donald Trump a loser again.”

Biden said the stakes were huge when he took on Trump in 2020 — “what made America America, I thought, was at risk’ — and they are even larger now as a likely rematch looms.

    You base a person’s competency on public perception?

    In a democracy, you kinda have to. That’s the entire premise of the system.

    You are basically saying “well, other people are falling for the propaganda!"

    The most effective forms of propaganda are simply restatements of obvious truths that support your view.

    Wait, you’re arguing that the guy who we have, on tape, trying to get someone to overturn an election they lost, is the one more likely to protect your right to vote?

    No, I’m suggesting the guy we’ve got on tape trying to strong arm governors into overturning an election is the guy mostly likely to strong arm legislators into changing election laws.

    Biden couldn’t even deliver on DC Statehood. If the DC has been a free two Senator / six House Rep pickup for the GOP, Trump would have passed that bill on day one.

    Of course, you don’t want to work.

    Sisyphus fails because he is too lazy.

      Lol literally nothing about a democracy that requires you to hold such a dumb position as measuring competency on public opinion.

      You’re either incredibly dumb, or just incredibly disingenuous. Either way, I’m done.
