MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

  • Trump and his supporters are slamming Joe Biden for quitting the race and endorsing Kamala Harris.
  • Some members of MAGA world are bemoaning the millions of dollars spent running against Joe Biden.
  • Biden’s withdrawal also means Trump is now the oldest candidate in the presidential race.

So, what you’re telling me is that by finally conceding to giving up on reelection, Biden achieved one hell of a victory against the whiny orange?

🥂

Here’s to hoping you 'muricans don’t fuck this chance.

Voroxpete ,

Be nice if the LPC took some notes from this one.

raef ,

Maybe they should have spent time and money promoting their candidate instead of attacking the other

Maruki_Hurakami ,

I said the exact same thing this morning to a coworker. They have no policies, just hate.

raef ,

Yeah, it’s not a difficult concept

TrickDacy ,

Project 2025 tends to disagree

ccunning ,

True. Their policies are so bad they have to disavow them…

TrickDacy ,

Except to the right audience they are extremely proud of them. Yes overall their policies are unpopular but they aren’t without support

ccunning ,

Sure - but they don’t need to win those folks votes

TrickDacy ,

What’s the point here? I’m trying to point out the very real danger they represent. Are you really going to downplay that danger? This is how we lost roe v wade

raef ,

It’s that they don’t need to be won over. They are going to vote for Trump regardless.

ccunning ,

Whoa…I agree with you. And I’m not sure why what I said upset you. I am just speaking in the context of the discussion of the post which is campaign strategy.

We need to shout about Project 2025 from the rooftops because it’s so toxic the Trump campaign wants it to stay hidden.

TrickDacy ,

I find it counterproductive to say Republicans have no policy because they do, and it’s ugly

ccunning ,

I thought that was an excellent point and was glad you pointed it out

TrickDacy ,

Alright good. And it’s good to see a misunderstanding not go ugly online, as it too often does.

ccunning ,

I’ve seen and had way more go this way on Lemmy than on Reddit.

Just a better culture around here.

TrickDacy ,

Well thank you for holding up your end. I admittedly lose my cool with people sometimes. It’s hard to read tone, but I will say that you did a good job of avoiding condescension, which is probably the biggest problem in online discourse that I see.

ccunning ,

To be honest I had to edit the tone of my comment a couple times before submitting it 😉

TrickDacy ,

That’s ok – at least you did it. I need to do more of that

Maruki_Hurakami ,

That seems like a hatred manifesto more than policy.

TrickDacy ,

Call it what you want. The document is very clearly full of harmful policy goals.

This is really what it boils down to. But with Trump there is nothing to promote. The only way they can win is by ruining the reputation of their opponent to try to make them look worse.

SuckMyWang ,

What about hunters laptop? That’s still going to be a huge deal right? Right??

Didn’t you know Kamala let her tamagotchi die 30 years ago? Do you know where that tamagotchi has been buried? You might not know about this, but everyone is talking about this. But they don’t because they are too scared to talk about it. A lot of good people. They talk about it. And the world is laughing at us. The good people talking about this are too scared to talk because the world is laughing.

revelrous ,

The best people tell me Hillary Clinton had a tamagotchi just like it. So sad. So sad.

palordrolap ,

Rumour has it she used it for e-mail.

Have they looked for it on that underground pizza place? All them libruls have secret meetings in there, for realsies!

MNByChoice ,

Kalama has stepchildren. They are about to be dragged through the mud.

BrokenGlepnir ,

But it doesn’t matter if he had nothing to promote. He’s not above lying. This was just a bad decision on their part. Even if biden hadn’t dropped out, there’s no guarantee that a man that age will be here in four months.

kent_eh ,

He’s not above lying.

Lying is one of the things he has a lot of practice doing.

He’s not very good at it, though, he contradicts his lies with other lies on a regular basis.

Kecessa ,

That and attacking the ideas, not the person.

magic_lobster_party ,

Policies don’t sell in the current political climate. It has been all about Trump vs not Trump since 2016.

raef ,

Oh, I understand, but if was still their strategy choice.

Guy_Fieris_Hair ,

I was thinking this when everyone was saying it’s too late to change candidates. While that might have been true if a campaign consisted of promoting people’s positives, that’s not what it is. It’s all about finding the dirt on the other and switching candidates late just means there has been less shit talked.

ASDraptor ,

Now their candidate is the old fuck and is a felon who’s fighting against a black woman (!) that used to send felons to jail.

Of course they are pissed! As they should be!

ShadowRam ,

I absolutely can't WAIT for the next debate.

and Trump can't chicken out without looking like a Chump...

Barbarian ,
@Barbarian@sh.itjust.works avatar

He will chicken out. He’ll pull some excuse about unfair rules or a biased moderator that will be completely and utterly transparent to everyone except his base.

Voroxpete ,

It’s transparent to his base too. It’s not that they don’t see the lies, it’s that they don’t care.

To Republicans, winning matters more than playing by the rules. This isn’t some gentlemanly game of chess. It’s a knife fight. The future of their country hangs in the balance, and the only thing that matters is being the people who steer the ship. If you have to lie cheat and steal to get there, so be it.

The Dems need to wake the fuck up and start doing the same.

givesomefucks ,

Nice, I didn’t pay attention this weekend and this is the first I’m hearing Biden stepped down.

Great way to start a Monday at least

ABCDE ,

Harris is not confirmed, by the way, just a presumptive nominee. The Democratic Party is gathering behind her as it stands.

Plopp ,

In other words: it’s Kamala Harris.

ABCDE ,

The Democratic National Convention’s rules committee are also set to meet on Wednesday to discuss the process for picking a new candidate.

I imagine they won’t just push her forward, but who knows.

Blackmist ,

Well yeah, they’ve probably printed enough Geriatric Joe propaganda to last all the way to the election.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda ,

Trump added that he thought the GOP should be “reimbursed for fraud.”

Trump raises an excellent point: his campaign was forced to waste money against Biden for as long as it did only for the Democrats to pull the rug out from under him by pulling Joe out of the race. This, if anything, is a form of cheating.

AH HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

mozz ,
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

GOP: Fuck your feelings might makes right REAL MEN ARE BACK don’t tread on me THESE COLORS DON’T RUN SON

Also: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ceenote ,

Unironically “I object on the grounds that it’s devastating to my case”

homura1650 ,

Ahh, the famous cheat of checks notes changing your mind weeks before announcing a decision.

Biden was never running against Trump in the 2024 election. The Democrats still have not announced a candidate. If the Republicans wanted to campaign against the presumptive nominee before an official decision was made, that’s on them.

TheDemonBuer ,
@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world avatar

The fact that they’re so mad about this makes me think that Biden was a much weaker incumbent than I realized, and that the choice to replace him was the right one.

magic_lobster_party ,

And maybe withdrawing so late might not be as bad after all. Sure, it’s going to be tough for dems to rework their campaign, but it’s going to be tough for reps as well when their campaign revolved around Biden.

MagicShel ,

I went hard for Biden because I was genuinely worried there would be chaos in finding a new candidate that would make it impossible to sort it out and run an effective campaign in the time left. It looks like I was wrong and I’m so fucking happy about that.

Harris is the right candidate - part of the same administration, so she can run on the same record which is pretty damn solid. I’m excited for the future.

recapitated ,

You’re really giving them a lot of undue credit in the realm of knowing anything about civics or people.

recapitated ,

It is a conspiracy for one side to strategically do a better job and be better.

kaitco ,

This feels like postering to me. Trump was recorded while playing golf with Barron that “Biden’s out. It’s gonna be Kamala”. He’s already been considering this for at least a week or more.

Trump isn’t upset about going up against Kamala and he’s already been saying that he will stomp her, which I am so fearful he will that it makes me tear up.

memfree ,
@memfree@lemmy.ml avatar

He’s already been considering this for at least a week or more.

He and his team have considered it, but I doubt Trump is capable of preparing for it. His team will try, but – like Biden – he is an old man past his prime. Voters do not want Project 2025, so Trump’s team CAN’T talk about it with anything but denial, and that is the only ‘plan’ they have. The rest is a few insults that Trump repeat over and over, to which Harris can say, “I’ll take the insults if it keeps necessary abortions legal. I’ll take it to keep schools open. To improve them. To make sure [insert message here] is expanded, not abolished.”

militaryintelligence ,

Who cares. Report on democratic candidates, strengths, weaknesses, policies, etc. I’m so fucking sick of the “news”

xc2215x ,

Good. Let them stay angry.

Shawdow194 ,
@Shawdow194@kbin.run avatar

I guess if only they spent more endorsing their own agenda instead of smearing it wouldnt matter right? 🤷‍♂️

saltesc ,

That’s like losing a $1,000 bet on the Lakers and trying to sue them or something.

Sumocat ,
@Sumocat@lemmy.world avatar

They should be mad. Biden stands down with a perfect 1-0 record of defeating Trump with no chance of rematch.

bstix ,

This would be a good time for republicans to campaign on all the politics they intend to run. Lol. They’ve been unusually silent lately. because they can’t find common ground on anything but being anti-democrat.

GOP will implode on itself if Democrats just stay silent for a week or two.

Plopp ,

they can’t find common ground on anything but being anti-democrat.

Sadly that’s all that’s needed in a first past the post system that has boiled down to two parties. It’s only tribalism at this point.

apocalypticat ,
@apocalypticat@lemmy.world avatar

In the blink of an eye, their surplus of hateful anti-Biden merchandise becomes even more useless. This will surely make them realize how idiotic their cult is /s.

RamblingPanda ,

The Democrats should have flip-flopped candidates for months, ruining those people with hateful merchandise.

Kecessa ,

Technically Harris isn’t confirmed yet!
