I hope Pelosi and Obama get through to him and he steps down. It will be on Kamala to pick a running mate to energize the base, and as a prosecutor I think it would go a long way if she went with a staunch progressive as her running mate. Like could you imagine if we got a Harris Ocasio-Cortez ticket? AOC wouldn’t have to be the frontrunner on questions of experience, and Kamala could show she cares about the future voters and setting AOC up for a future presidential run. I don’t know how we can make that kind of a future a reality, but we really need to try.
Bernie Sanders reached more voters on the right than centerist democrats do, hes been on fox news and has in other ways connected with right wing voters publicly, other progressives probably could do the same if they were smart with their messaging. If AOC wasn’t Fox news’ boogyman for years I’d Imagine she win in a blowout. That also probably why she was the boogyman.

My fear is that she’ll pick someone from the right-wing of the party to ‘balance out’ the fact that she’s a racial minority and a woman, which scares those poor, poor right-leaning voters.

I mean, of course she will. If Biden steps aside, the party runs the risk of looking like it’s capable of listening. Don’t want the left getting the idea that they should expect better.
City embarrassed on national news because its citizens are exhibiting local behavioral norms and are being openly racist during a high profile sportsball tournament.
Passes limited ordinance that adds a staggeringly powerful /s misdemeanor charge to crimes with hateful intent.
That oughtta take care of it! Mission accomplished!
“Main Stream Media”. Most often referred to as such by conservatives because according to them all “msm” is liberal, but can be generally used to describe popular media sources as just being generally shit.
I do feel like the press is making a huge deal out of him misspeaking when dude is still incumbent and functioning as the same ol’ boring ass president he has always been.
Inflation was at zero last month and is actually negative this month, and we have had record job growth for several years. And those are just two of many amazing statistics we have been enjoying during his administration.
He’s been a great president. And I’d like him to continue.

I don’t disagree that individual incidents mean very little, especially considering Biden’s long history of gaffes and the fact that he is an 80 year old man and one cannot expect him to be as spry as a spring chicken…
But Democratic Congressmembers have asked him to stand down as presumptive nominee. There is clearly a lack of confidence in his ability to continue - you don’t make public statements like that unless private channels have been exhausted and things are well and truly fucked.
There were just too many idiots for too long that were yelling down any discussion of Biden’s obvious ineptitude. Any time anyone would bring it up, they would just jam the “BoTh SiDeS” buttons on their keyboards. They completely fell into the trap of trying to crush discussion, and now we are left holding this senile old man as a candidate. It is almost certainly a lost cause at this point. Harris has half the payout of Biden on most sites where you can gamble on the results, and she isn’t even running. If we get anything out of this mess, I hope it is that the new generation of democrats coming up can see how toxic and self-sabotaging it is to try and shut down any conversation they dislike. All those people who have been shouting “bOtH sIeDs” so much their keyboards started to bleed should feel like shit right now. Your pathetic attempt to crush discussion hurt you and the rest of us. Discussion = good. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Remember it.
Yeah, some people did, but nearly every discussion on here was full of 95% idiots screaming about how we need to pretend like biden is so incredible because we have to trick the undecided people into living him because trump is going to resurrect Hitler and march everyone to the depths of hell.
It's hard to compare apples to apples because of a change in the way things were measured, but by best estimates Biden got a comparable uncommitted vote share to Obama in 2012.
I’ll vote for whatever Democrat is on the ticket in November. Straight down the ballot. Where there’s a choice among them, I vote for the most progressive. Because I’m an old (cishet) woman, but that just means I remember the bad old days.
Look, I don’t like Biden. I voted Green in the last 2 elections, but I had the privilege of doing that then. Not this time. None of us do. It’s ride or die, and that’s not just a slogan this time around.
It’s ride or die, and I don’t wanna die.
I’m a gay Jew in Florida, and I don’t have the privilege of voting my conscience and hoping for the best. I have to vote like my freedom and my life depend on it— as does those of tens of millions more I don’t even know. Because they do.
Sorry. I fled my conservative state as a gay queer teen and sucked a lot of dick staying with various boyfriends, but I was at a different stage of my life then. I’m just worried about you.
Edit: kid, in my 45 years, I’ve been through 10 times worse than that. 100 times worse. My point is that none of us should have to suffer through such revolting indignities in order to have a normal happy life, just for the right to live. And the fact that you even think for a second that I should have to suffer through even a fraction of that in order to escape to a safe place where I might have a hope of even a chance of a safe life is fucking terrifying.
Raise your fucking standards, and when you fight for a better life, fight for better than sucking cock for a safe place to sleep. Fight for freedom. Fight for freedom from that kind of oppression. Fight for dignity, happiness, and equality. Because we deserve nothing less.
I just want everyone in my community to come out alive. I don’t know if I can fight for more than that, because I don’t know if I’ve ever seen freedom for people like us where it can’t be ripped away after a bad election.
I don’t think running away is the same as giving up and dying! My family is Filipino and we have a concept called “bayanihan”, which is when the villagers would move their houses inland to escape coastal flooding by working together to lift the houses and carry them on their shoulders. I don’t know if it’s worth fighting the storm instead of carrying what you can inland and waiting it out and staying alive
edit: I guess I should say, if you think it’s worth fighting instead of a coordinated retreat, and you’re willing to lead that fight, then I respect the heck out of you! But I know I’m useless in a fight so you’ll have to let me support you some other way.
Like much of the US, if you momentarily disregard the politics of a state, Florida is a naturally beautiful place with weather that many people prefer.
If we could make the politics not suck, social programs better, worker life better, etc., every state would be great to live in and while enjoying their individual natural wonders.
I guess it’s the same as saying that we can fight mass migration by making the failed states wprth living in. But also, what can we do? Regime-change Florida?
The alternative is fascism so I’ll obviously vote against that, but I gotta say, I’m uneasy voting for someone who clearly isn’t running the country. With the news coming out that pretty much every interaction with Biden has been scripted, including his cabinet meetings (which he hasn’t held since October of last year), it’s pretty obvious Biden is not the one calling the shots. White house staffers, other than a small group of handlers, are restricted from interacting with him, something unheard of in previous administrations.
So who are we voting for? His handlers? It’s pretty clear he’s a geriatric puppet that isn’t making real decisions, so who’s holding the strings? It’s not his cabinet; again, they haven’t had an official meeting since October. Doesn’t that concern anyone? We’re supposed to be voting for the leader of our country, but the actual person/people running it are not the ones on the ballot, we don’t even know who they are.
Even if they replace him, it feels like we’re not really getting a choice. It will be the DNC picking the candidate, it’s too late for another primary. Political talking heads like to say “well this is who the American people voted for so this is who they want!” No it is fucking not. If you put a gun to my head and force me to eat shit, you can’t turn around and say “boy, this guy sure loves eating shit! He chose to eat it, so that must mean it’s what he wants!”
I don’t really know what the solution is. Our leaders are now picked instead of voted, that’s not a democracy.
Whilst this was happening, someone had the thought that they could do something to stop this woman getting out of prison. That person would either need a specific reason, something to gain, or just be one of the smallest people/biggest cunts to ever grace the planet.
Wait a minute, if she gets released, people will know our prosecutors made at least one bad mistake two decades ago. I know, to prevent people from knowing this public information, I will prevent the release of this innocent person. That will surely safeguard the reputation of this office
Was just worrying if we were due for one of these:
Over the course of 19 minutes, about one hundred bullets caused $15 million dollars in damage to our power grid, damaging components that take months to manufacture: 2013’s Metcalf sniper attack near San Jose, California
Edit: sheesh! Happened AGAIN in 2022!
Moore County, NC: Gunmen shot up two power substations. 40K customers lost power. Took days to fix. FBI had warned about extremist threats to grid. Investigators found shell casings, offered $75K reward. Theories: anti-drag show motive or generic extremism. One lady died when her oxygen machine stopped (homicide). Schools closed, curfew imposed. NC governor pissed. White House “monitoring.”
