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.

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

Oh no, all of their bots will have to be reprogrammed.

MAGAts can fuck off and die.

GOP: “Your candidate is unfit for office.”

Dems: “Okay, we got a new candidate.”

GOP: shocked pikachu

DoucheBagMcSwag ,

No no not like that! We’re going to sue!

Asafum ,

They’re going to, probably in every single red state.

They’re going to throw so much shit at the wall due to election ballot timing that unfortunately I think something will stick… it more than likely wont be legitimate, but we have way too many corrupt judges out there :(

ceenote ,

I don’t think it’s a given that something will stick in a way that actually throws a wrench in the election. It would have to be in a swing state, the judge would have to be willing to become infamous around the world, and willing to ignore the precedent that generally political parties can choose candidates how they want and of course a nominee can decline the nomination.

Oh fuck, Aileen Cannon exists…

Maybe they will start to realize the persistent election cycle is not a good thing. I would love to see a ban on all election campaigning until 90 days before said election but that wouldn’t get past a 1st amendment challenge.

Just do publicly funded elections, including things like publicly funded frequent small debates where the candidates had to appear as reasonably competent adults who could defend their ideas, and resurrect some of the regulations like the fairness doctrine and caps on media consolidation

The dogshit quality of the current election coverage is mostly a problem because it is the only type of coverage that is available. I think if there was a widely available and well funded type of election coverage that wasn’t this cash grab horse race ad supported bullshit, the bullshit would have to compete against it and would lose and improve as a result.

That sounds like socialism or something!

Diplomjodler3 ,

Let’s hope we can focus more on Trump’s mental acuity (or lack thereof) from here on out.

jmsy ,

The media won’t. They want him to win for the ratings and clicks

Kroxx ,

Yeah I bet the skeevers are upset, regularless of the new nominee Trump is almost surely going to get destroyed in the next debate. Also now most of Trump’s points against Biden apply to himself instead of the other candidate.

I would actually watch a Harris v Trump debate, despite the fact that I violently dislike modern debate formatting and moderation

Doubt very highly trump will agree to one.

The next presidential candidate debate, is going to be fun!

militaryintelligence ,

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

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.

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.”

Good. Let them stay angry.

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

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.

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.

saltesc ,

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