The only reason the campaign is in flames because the media and the lefties are happily applying a flamethrower to it, while the magats and christofacists warm themselves by the fire.

Maybe, focus your irk on the convicted criminal threat to your democracy and world peace.

  • Step 1: get somebody who can win the election against Trump.
  • Step 2: win the election.

The Democrats are having a shockingly hard time doing step 1, but that needs to happen before we can do step 2. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about the brainwashed populus until Trump is firmly out of power for an extended period, which hinges on step 1.

Genuine question.... What's wrong with the vice president? Shouldn't she take over given she's next in line? Apologies in advance, I'm not American so I don't understand why your country does things.

She's unpopular and would lose.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

She was set up to increase her visibility, position her as a next candidate, but does not seem to have benefited from the opportunity

I'm going to assume this is a good faith question. What's wrong with Harris is that she is essentially polling the exact same as Biden despite not being blamed for inflation, the Gaza invasion, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, appearing senial in a debate, not being old, etc. That is to say that despite having none of that baggage hanging over her head, she essentially has the same chances of winning as Biden.

I know! Let's also meet the republicans halfway. They'll surely not use that against us repeatedly.

I can't believe lefties forced Biden to support genocide and hit him with the dementia beam

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Why would the left do this?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Love how you pretend there was literally any other option. Go look at AIPAC's spending in the primaries.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look, at this point, my concern is that I don't want Trump, and I don't think Biden can handle the campaign trail.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, then people that want a different candidate get one.

Kind of a stupid thing to say when democrats are still pissed at people who stayed home or voted third party in '16. Tbh, Joe 2024 is reminding me of HRC 16 in all the wrong ways.

It's an intelligence check for Democrats. Vote against the obvious evil or abstain because he's just not your guy. Bigger picture isn't the strength of most Democratic voters.

I mean, all I'm saying here is "can we not test if 2016's tactics really don't work, please?" Because "just shut up, hold your nose, and vote Hillary or else we'll get Hitler" didn't work.

And FWIW, I voted for Hillary.

This seems like the easiest choice for Americans ever. Yet of course being Americans, they have to be the dumbest shits about it.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can trust Americans to do the right thing after exhausting all other options.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The fact Trump is going for a SECOND term disproves that.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That’s the ONLY reason. It has to be. My eyes and ears are wrong. My narrative is and can be whatever I want it do be.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I find the amount of time all media is spending on "Biden bad candidate" is pretty appalling. I also find the Dems lack of a good story on their achievements the past 3 years appalling as well.

Starting to feel like it's on purpose
