Brought to you buy the Biden 2024 campaign... I agree 100% with the anti-Trump rhetoric but let's be real, no rational person with an IQ over 80 seriously thinks Trump or Biden is the best we have to offer to lead the free world. C'mon man!


This is what we are stuck with. Pick.

C'mon man. You must be young. Presidential elections are almost always about picking your poison. Choose against the worst option. It will be one of these two so get out there and protect yourself and your family from trump.

Yes, but with enough discussion and pressure applied, Biden could be convinced to back out of the 2024 race so that we can run someone guaranteed to beat Trump. It isn't worth the risk to pretend to be content with a candidate that may or may not be Trump when there are potential candidates out there that would easily be a guarantee to beat Trump. That's not a knock on Biden or the job he has done. It's just reality.

The challenge is that many potential Biden voters want a moderation, but too many Dems consider a win as a mandate for progressive reforms. Many of those voters feel they’ve been unheard and burned too many times. They want to be seen as they are not what a perfunctory vote for far-left agendas.


just stop. this isn't remotely true. Yet Rs take a every win as a mandate to ban books, ban abortion and ban LGBTQ+ people


Thank you for being Exhibit A. It is like reliving Germany and tussling over Poland in the 19th and 20th centuries. Neither had Poland’s best interests at heart just like the diehard partisans in the US today.


show me the lie in my post, though. When Have Rs gained control of a state and not immediately tried to do these exact things in recent memory. They are NOT a moderate party in any way


I explained the problem to you as to why Dems are ALSO undesirable to many people. They are full of sh!t too and limiting freedoms like some dictatorships. You’re OK as long as you say the right things. It is scary Iron Curtain type stuff. Not necessarily Joe - he is a dying breed. I still remember reviewing letters in the mail that were already opened, and contents removed.


This is stupid. Democrats are opening your mail. Dumb take.


Tell me … did they repeal the Patriot Act implemented by Bush? Seems like they’ve fully embraced it.


This. Many of us want an antidote to the many bad decisions of recent decades. The Democrats like a lot of the GOP’s crap (GWOT, Patriot Act, endless wars, GFC bailouts, and more), but they (senior Dems+their friends) want the lucre from themselves. If they dealt with this crap, the present GOP would fold.


Omg, just give them more than a couple months to get to these things before you start whining, then?


These disasters are about decades of crap, dumbass. We need new faces and new minds.


That’s great, but can we focus on the fascists right in front of us and how we stop THEM first?

Yes, decades of crap MOSTLY caused by idiot Rs and their right wing media.

I understand the throw them all out sentiment, I do. But please understand that this country is actually teetering on the brink of disaster if the Rs take control on the federal level.

I realize focus is not a strong point for a lot of people out there, but I am literally begging you to get your head on straight and understand the looming disaster we are facing if we don’t get this right.

You can kiss anything else you want goodbye after next November.


Sweetie, you need to calm down and call your therapist. Maybe you need to up your meds or get more exercise.


I will not be told to calm down. The orange tyrant is literally using Nazi language and tactics, and you think I just need to talk to a therapist?

Screw that. I will continue to shout everywhere I can at people to wake the eff up.

NP. Your shouting and blathering on is doing nothing to get people to “wake the eff up”. If anything, people ignore and discount what you have to say because the way you say it is coming off as unhinged. But carry on.

PP comes off as reality based, not unhinged.

“Unhinged” is the reflexive urge to both sides when it is not both sides. I’ll say it quietly and calmly: “both sides” is the refuge of the unintelligent.


Both sides can be wrong at the same time. Pointing out weakness on one side doesn’t mean condoning or excusing the other side. Refusal to allow it to be said has a name. What is that called again?


One side is clearly far more wrong than the other. If you don't understand that, then you should watch more CSPAN. While the Democrats have been fighting for a functional government, the Republicans have been on the House and Senate floor wasting time peddling one ludicrous and unserious thing after another, whether ignorant destructive attempts to destroy our government with bills to defund the IRS, the NIH, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the EPA and other agencies, to destroy public education while promoting sham for-profit schools, peddling science denial and everything else.

There is no "both sides" - the Republican side is objectively worse. And, this Republican funded and sponsored "no labels" nonsense is just a vote for more of that deranged destruction.


This is just delusional. If you need more votes, you should be listening to others and gaining their trust. Instead, you want to browbeat them into your trite viewpoint, when many tell you that viewpoint is so long in the tooth.

Again, this kind of simple-mindedness looks like a pro-Trump false flag! Let’s make sure the Democrats keep their appeal limited! Let’s treat the fate of hundreds of millions of Americans (and billions more worldwide) as a stupid binary game of the Tweedle Dee mafia (Dems) versus the Tweedle Dumb mafia (Repubs). At this point, it should be obvious that lazy paradigm has failed us.


And this is the nonsense that will put the traitorous fascist outright criminal back in power.

I agree. We need to focus on finding one candidate to rally around that will guarantee us a victory over Trump. The sad thing is, as beatable as Trump is, there isn't a single candidate that has announced a 2024 presidential run that is currently favored to beat Trump in a head to head match-up. If America can't find a candidate to beat Trump in 2024, what exactly is our future?

Biden. Look into those polls; they’re making some pretty big stretches as to who they project will vote for Trump.

+1 And ask former President Walter Mondale about how reliable polls are a year out.

Reality is that state filing deadlines are passing and we don’t have time for a giant messy primary, so dance with the one who brung you.

pray tell, who is this amazing mystery person be that can replace Biden and beat back Trump?

Look, I like a LOT of the current Dem electeds, but I can't figure out one who doesn't have a negative that would become the reason they lose.

Sorry, that's reality. As I said, Ds have to thread the absolute tiniest of needles just so a sack of crap doesn't take the white house and run us in to the ground.

Gretchen Whitmer would be an absolute guarantee. It's Donald fricking Trump. We don't need god's gift to presidential candidates to beat him. We just need someone that isn't over 80 with a 40% approval rating and losing to fricking Trump in current average polling data.

For 30 years now, we have been watching the Rs devolve. It is absolutely appalling. The Rs heroes would hate what they have become.

Look, I am good with having a discussion about how to make the Ds "better" or whatever you want.

But politics at this point is all about game theory - you have to think through the consequences of your decisions.

And sadly, this "I'm gonna vote third party" sentiment is going to take us straight into fascism

I don't know how much more loud and clear I need to be. This is a battle - please get into it.


It isn’t about the lack of perfection. There is simply a different opinion among the Dem supporters (ie, voters) on how to go about things. The party leaders and their people (the political teams) are not on the same page as their supporters. It’s choose your own adventure — same book but different choices at the forks in the story.

What a novel concept. Finding common ground with people who think differently than you? We no longer have statesmen on either side of the aisle. Everyone is into dehumanizing the other political party.


Totally agree. Bipartisanship is now akin to treason.

Gretchen Whitmer is great. I truly hope I'm able to vote for her in 2028. But the reality is that if Biden isn't at the top of the 2024 ticket for whatever reason, a big portion of the Democratic base will revolt if he's not replaced by Harris.

Show me an example of the GOP being bipartisan lately. I bet those two pps can’t. It’s only ever Democrats who are expected to compromise.

Just like it’s only ever Democrats who are expected to be perfect. Where’s the third party candidate to snatch votes from the GOP? Why aren’t the GOP primary voters getting slammed for still (STILL!) supporting Donald Trump? Biden beat Trump once already. Why isn’t there a massive push to get the treasonous raping fool off the ballot?
