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.

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

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

krashmo ,

Why? There’s only downsides for Democrats. Trump supporters clearly don’t expect him to sound like a reasonable person and undecided voters are either nonexistent or so incapable of rational thinking that they may as well be. All that leaves you with is the potential for more Democratic infighting if Kamala does poorly in any area.

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

That is Red Guy! If you haven’t seen Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, you should check it out. Wildly bizarre and trippy youtube series. They also made a tv series recently, but I haven’t seen that yet.

Plenty of people were convinced Teump wouldn’t do the first one.

Keep in mind how much he overestimates and overstates his own abilities.

Furbag ,

I only believed that because he preemptively made excuses as to why he wouldn’t attend the last one. I’m sure he’s glad he did now considering the outcome, but I wouldn’t put it past him to simply opt to not take the risk debating Harris. People are quick to forget, he also performed badly during that debate, but everyone’s focus was on Biden’s apparent sundowning. He got away with one bad performance, but he probably won’t be so lucky next time.

He’s already said it should be on fox news for fairness

Maybe I’ll just wait for the Bad Lip Reading edit

InternetUser2012 ,

Highly doubt he’ll debate her.

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

Diplomjodler3 ,

That’s a stupid narrative. The media support Trump because the owner class want him to win.

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.

mozz ,
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

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.

How about publicly funded elections and limits on campaigning more than 90 days before an election?

iAvicenna ,
@iAvicenna@lemmy.world avatar

Lets start by putting a cap on how much money can be spent on campaigns and keep it at a very minimal level.

kent_eh ,

Start by eliminating superPACs.

barsquid ,

Sounds good. We’ll just need to re-do Citizens United with fewer than 5 fully regressive appointees purchased by billionaires.

InternetUser2012 ,

That’ll never work, big donors will just hide it or do the advertising themselves unrelated of course

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…

If there is any way Mississippi and Arkansas can keep a black woman Democrat off the ballot, they will find it.

Please get me out of this state

andros_rex ,

They aren’t going to sue. They are going to start shooting. They’ve outright stated that. It’s crystal clear: they’ve said that the revolution would be “bloodless” only if the left “allowed” it to be. I really wanted to live long enough to build a family,.

DoucheBagMcSwag , (edited )

You missed what Johnson said this morning. He says it’s “unlawful” in some states. (Which is not true in the slightest and they know it)

How much you want to bet that this only will be “unlawful” in red shithole states

He’s basically giving a dog whistle to maggot judges to hold the line for the fascist party’s interest if these “challenges” come to them.

acockworkorange ,

Some of us live in those red shitholes. Send help. Please.

AngryCommieKender , (edited )

The only nice thing about those red shitholes is that it’s stupidly easy to get a gun. Get one. Join your local chapter of the SRA. Train at the local range at least twice a month so that you are proficient with it. Learn all the local stand your ground laws. Memorize them. When they start shooting, aim center mass.

While a pistol is far more portable, it requires far more training, as the lower mass of the firearm results in a larger than expected kick. Shotguns are really the weapon of choice for urban defense.

I personally have a couple of extremely nice sniper crossbows, that are basically silent. Seriously, the bolt impacting my target makes more noise than the bow. A couple of T-33s, an AA-12, and a 30-06. Lots of ammo too.

Learning how to reload your ammo is also invaluable, should they start shooting. Have a “riot shield,” basically the largest piece of steel you can easily carry that is more than 2" thick. Body armor is also a useful investment.

pennomi ,

How is it unlawful? The candidate hasn’t even been formally selected yet.

DoucheBagMcSwag ,

Exactly. It’s not. And they know it. The fact they’re trying to run to their judges means they are scared.

BetaBlake ,

Can we try not to talk like Trump? No state as a whole is a shit hole full of shit hole people, those kinds of statements reek of elitism and it’s not a good look.

cabron_offsets ,

MAGAts can fuck off and die.

InternetUser2012 ,

You’ve upset 3 magats so far.

Good, hopefully they’ve fucked off and died.

JimSamtanko ,

It’s why they’re all so quiet now.

recapitated ,

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

Blackmist ,

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

systemglitch ,

I don’t know, I went to r/conservative and they seem quite pleased. From my observations, both dems and reps seem happy with what just happened. I saw no one scared or upset and I spent about 30 minutes reading comments.

It was actually kinda trippy how universally pleased everyone is.

mozz ,
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

They don’t seem pleased to me. They just seem like now they’re full throated into their fact free attacks on Harris, having pivoted effortlessly to those instead of the fact free attacks on Biden.

Top stories currently on the page:

  • Within the first year of taking office, 4 of Kamala Harris’ top aides quit, branding her a ‘bully inflicting 'constant, soul-destroying criticism'.
  • Joe Biden is too frail to run in 2024 but he's still our president?
  • Kamala Harris Will Be Burdened By What Has Been
  • Piggyback off what Tulsi said 8 years
  • Biden’s statement withdrawing from the 2024 election
  • CBS Already Playing The Race Card For Harris, Hails Her As 'Brilliant’
  • Kamala Harris ladies and gentleman
  • That Was Quick - Hours after Biden drops out of presidential race, Kamala Harris drops merch line

Honestly dude it just looks exhausting. I can see why they are so angry and chaotic whenever you try to talk to them IRL.

InternetUser2012 ,

That’s just the bots.

vxx ,

r/conservative always gets a glimpse of normalcy when the bots have to get fed with new arguments.

iAvicenna ,
@iAvicenna@lemmy.world avatar

So they are basically admitting that their whole campaign argument was “Biden is bad Trump is not Biden” and now that he is gone, the argument is invalid. After all if it was a campaign mostly about Trump’s positive qualities (in their perspective) then it should not have really mattered who the opposition is.

Naich ,
@Naich@lemmings.world avatar

The problem with Trump being a talentless orange idiot is that the only quality he had was being younger than Biden.

slurpeesoforion ,

Which was like twins that argue over who’s older.

Furbag ,

Of course they are mad. The Republican strategy up until this point has been to attack the incumbent, but now the incumbent is no longer running for re-election. Trump literally doesn’t know how to deal with this situation. His whole shtick is to attack the person currently in charge, but that doesn’t do shit for him now.

A big part of why he lost in 2020, imo, is that he didn’t have anybody to blame for all the bad shit happening in the country at the time. He himself was in charge and could only say “things will get worse under Biden”, but people were sick of Covid fucking up our lives and the endless scandals that hit the news daily.

SkyezOpen ,

He’s gonna tie every biden policy to Hillary Clinton and attack her based on that.

Then hopefully someone will remind him that he’s running against Kamala Harris and not Clinton.

gardylou ,

Awww! Well Boo Fucking Hoo for you.

slurpeesoforion ,

I’m saddened for them since they’ll never know what it’s like to lose to Biden twice.
