For a while, poll after poll suggested voters didn't want a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but now voters are likely to get just that
"It's almost a cruel joke on the electorate that the longest presidential election potentially ever might also be the one that they're least excited about," said one Democratic pollster, speaking anonymously to candidly discuss the race.
Biden has advanced a lot of helpful policies for millions of people in his first term, really progressive civil rights policies and good economic and foreign policies.
trump rapes people, lies about it, and repeatedly commits election fraud.
The only way you can pretend these two are remotely similar is if you ignore the real world because you're too cynical to learn anything.
Democratic voters, by and large, want to make sure that Trump loses (much like the person he is), and would like any candidate that can offer a high probability of that happening. Biden has already beat Trump once, and has, overall, been a pretty decent president. (Yes, the Israel thing is a mess, I know. From the river to the sea, etc.) Dems might prefer a younger candidate that's better at ramming legislation through--which no Dem could do right now, not with Republicans controlling the House--but preventing a Republican victory is more important.
And yet, democracy itself is on the ballot. I don’t want Joe Biden to be my nominee, but I also realize that Trump is the absolute collapse of America. It’s letting our basest instincts and lesser demons overcome the promise of what we could be.
I don’t care that he’s old and moderate and held dumbass positions in the past. Biden is what is standing between order and chaos. Stability and collapse.
One candidate openly supports lawlessness and fascism for his own personal gain. The other is an old yellow dog Democrat who governs from the center right. It sucks, but the right thing is showing up for Biden IF you vote in a swing state.
If you don’t vote in a swing state, vote hard down ballot, then do whatever for president. It doesn’t really matter.
I'm gonna be honest, this shit is too noisy. I am exhausted by all of this. On top of it all, these fucks make more money in 5 minutes than I will slaving my life away. I hate politics. I hate bribery codified into law. I know it would be worse for everyone if this whole thing imploded but sometimes it feels like that would be a win. Because then maybe some of these fucks that don't realize or care we all have to share the same pie would be forced to take what has been alloted to me all these years. Am I saying I'd rather us all be in the dregs like rats? Probably not, but I think a healthy thing for a society to do is to not allow people to indirectly harm others by claiming a far bigger piece of the global pie than them and their ilk could ever remotely finish.
Because Democrats are assholes and refuse to see how fucking good Biden has been. Perfect is the enemy of good and they keep pushing left and don't have the numbers.
Maybe it's because we're tired of old as fuck candidates. I just want more capable and sharp-minded candidates. But we're not going to get that because old farts love other old farts so they keep getting on the ballot.
I dunno. These articles strike me as right wing misinfo. I'm VERY excited that Trump NOT get elected again. That wouldn't matter even if he were running against Homer Simpson.
forgive me if im wrong but hasn't trump only won two of the smaller states in the union. What the heck is wrong with nowadays. No canidate of the past would be talked about like they were the one who was not the sitting president.
