Biden urges "every American" to read Project 2025's "blueprint for the second Trump term”

I’m guessing someone did 🔫🩸👂

Why was this comment removed? Can a mod explain?
Nah false flag. It looks staged.
- Attendees died, and Trump is way too cowardly to fake this with actual ammunition. It's real
  
  EDIT: Mind, if you want to say it's staged to rile up the right who keeps saying shootings are staged, then please, continue
- I highly doubt that, staging something like this would be an insanely dangerous move, a slight miss from the shooter in such a scenario would be lethal, and given other people at the event seem to have been killed, it seems clear that lethal rounds were used. Trump may be a fan of ridiculous stunts, but he's also pretty self interested; I do not think he would risk his own life for such a stunt.
  
  I understand the impulse to not want someone one agrees with politically to have done something like try a political assassination, and then immediately leap to the idea that the notion that the event might help the intended victim's political chances is just a bit too convenient and therefore must mean they orchestrated it, but it must be remembered that, whatever views one has, or groups one is in, or identities one holds, as long as they are not so obscure as to be shared by only a handful of people, it is statistically likely that there will be people who are on your team or side of group who are willing to do something like this given the chance, just by virtue of such people making up a fraction of the population.
  
  Trump is hated by a lot of people, myself included and a large fraction of the people likely to be reading this too I'm sure. It is not at all unrealistic to imagine that someone hates him enough to try to kill him.
- Don't be like the right. They claim everything is fake. We are better than that

He should have considered telling people about it during that debate on primetime national TV.

I swear to God democratic PR personnelle is all Republican sleeper agents. They are so inept it's maddening. Women lost their reproductive rights, Trump tried to overthrow our government. Biden should be just repeating these points over and over again.

Just like Republicans do when they find themselves an issue.

Stop trying to explain stuff to Americans, they are too stupid. Just hammer easy to understand points that are wrapped in emotion.
- I completely agree

Yeah he could have mentioned that in the debate

Americans need to get off the political extremism ride, it’s not a good fit for you guys. Go back to drinking milkshakes and talking too loud in Europe.

Are you saying we don’t do those other things? We are perfectly capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, thank you very much
- At least uhh... At least half of us probably are capable.
DID SOMEONE SAY MILKSHAKE?!?
- The answer to uniting the US was there all along.

Well this election isn't about reading anymore. It's about who's still alive on election day.

He asked americans to read? He really really doesn't want to be president anymore

Not just read, but read a nearly 1000 page, dry, political document

keep up with the brilliant campaign strategy, Joe. tell people to read... that'll go well.

If he was still capable of using the bully pulpit (and if he had ever been seriously interested in using it at all), he could start at the beginning and focus on one section at a time over the course of weeks. Instead he's telling Americans to read something that is simultaneously dull and hateful with no context.
- seriously i never thought I'd see a political candidate give people homework.

He finally getting around to this huh. The whole damn party needs to be drilling this into the American psyche. We really need an ethical individual - well as ethical as you can find, it's a pretty big ask - to serve as a rally point for the Democrats. I mean, we could have had Bernie but Hilary and the DNC fucked that all up thanks to their complete unwillingness to read the goddamn room.

Ethical? Just get Jimmy Carter back up there. If Dems are willing to look past the age issues with Biden and say shit like "you're electing an administration, not a person", they might as well go with someone that actually has a good track record.

Bonus points if he can pull off a new "energy crisis" too. Might do us good to increase the incentive on transitioning off fossil fuels....
Do you really think the state is intended for the benefit of the populace and working class?

Bill Clinton: "Violence has no place in America, especially in our political process"

Bill... c'mon. America is violence's head cheerleader.

He's just glad they used Monica instead. More pleasant, humane and all that.

Obligatory "if these Americans could read, they would be very upset."

Biden has a point.

And if (when?) people come after democrats violently, I doubt trump will call for an end to it. Democrats once again bring a sternly-worded letter of disapproval to a gun fight.

Biden's not wrong.

It would be an win to just mention a few things, but there are issues with it that would deter people than no person would mention.

Biden is holding everyone hostage here. It's him or the other worse option. But he is completely responsible for the situation we are in now.

Blaming Biden for the GOP being fascists seems odd to me.
- Biden is not responsible people do not want to vote for him. Voters are responsible for not voting for a person they do not want to vote for!
- He is responsible for intentionally hiding his true mental state from the public. Running such a close race with Trump should be a clear sign of how unpopular he is as a candidate. At this point, Democrats are dangerously close to losing this election replacing him or not. That is on him.
I wouldn't say completely responsible, but he and the Democratic Party more broadly are certainly taking advantage of the situation.
- America could have had Bernie.
- Taking advantage right up to the point they lose power, and drag the US into an incredibly dark period.
- The Irony is that they have bernie sanders but because they bend over to AIPAC they dont want Bernie.
Well, such moments in politics show us that rats do not, in fact, jump the ship first.

Still two groups of very shady people pitting a senile man (also a pro-Soviet politician in his younger years and probably a crook, but let's forget this) against a mentally impaired man (who could get a few life sentences were he not that important) look disgusting.

Biden, STEP THE FUCK DOWN.

You first

Go fear monger somewhere else.

Democrats keep doing it to themselves: they keep on giving POTUS45 platform. Elections should be about what you are, not the other guy, but we're past that now, aren't we?

in a two party system like this it's almost never like that. the choice is between two right wing parties, it's just that one is fascist and one liberal so if you're left wing you're kinda stuck with voting "not fascist".
- two party system aside, in present environment encouraging people to read opponents program vs your own is a wrong move. In ideal world people should be informed about all platforms, but this is not how US works

And I urge Biden to read a statement of resignation on live television.

They have. That’s why they’re voting for him and urging others not to vote for Biden.
