Is Biden the president or not?

If there are “protective sides” it’s ultimately because he decided to have them.

Incredible how they frame these pieces as Joe Biden just being a helpless old guy who has no control of anything and is an endless victim of circumstance.

I mean - those articles are written for people like you, you know? Republicans who are hopping angry about everything in their lives and enjoy being angry about everything else, too, and enjoy the process of feeling like they’re smarter than everyone. The mainstream media has such a pro-Republican slant but you don’t know that and you assume the “liberal media” (or I guess Tucker is calling it “legacy media” now) must be friendly to Democrats, so this seems like mind blowing info to you.

But it’s just more of the anti-Democratic narrative pushed out by a GOP owned media.

I'm pretty angry and anxious, too. And as excited to vote for Biden this time as I was in 2020 - which was a lot.

More free stuff, eh?

Hardly. We’ve had four years of evidence that Harris should no more be a heartbeat away from the presidency than Ronald McDonald. Whoever Trump chooses couldn’t possibly be any worse.

Kari Lake?
Anyone one of the MAGA House or Senate members like Tim Scott
Abbott

Kari Lake would be horrible. But Tim Scott or Gov. Abbott would be great.

Tim Scott has less experience than Kamala Harris.
Gov. Abbott is next in a long line of corrupt, racist republicans, but sure, he would be great

Both are committed to national abortion bans.

Hard pass.

Okay. I mean you shouldn’t. Volunteer and donate like the existence of America depends on the Democrats winning, because it does. Don’t get complacent.

But be aware that dark money will find plenty of Republican nabobs of negativity between now and November in the hopes they can suppress Democratic turnout.

And again - you've conveniently left out all the dark money that has flowed to Democrats in recent years. I can't imagine why you'd neglect to mention that!

Democrats benefited more from dark money than Republicans in 2022

The 2022 federal midterms mark the third consecutive election cycle where Democrats benefited from more dark money than Republicans, OpenSecrets’ analysis of FEC data found.

Liberal political committees reported over $316.4 million in political contributions from dark money groups and shell companies during the 2022 cycle while conservative political committees reported $263 million.

The trend of Democrats benefiting from more reported dark money in federal elections began during the 2018 midterm cycle when liberal groups first outspent their conservative counterparts. That’s despite Democratic rhetoric decrying dark money and a series of failed efforts by some members of the party to crackdown on political contributions from undisclosed sources.

Sorry we don’t unilaterally disarm. The Republicans are the ones who don’t support campaign finance limits and brought us Citizens United. Suck it.
