My armchair cynic theory is that RFK negotiated with Trump to drop out and endorse him, in exchange for appointment as EPA head or some policy concession. Meanwhile, disaffected by poor performance and his refusal to drop out, the youth vote and other key Biden demographics either stay home in outsize numbers, or vote for Jill Stein or Cornell West. Trump would win every swing state and possibly some others if that plays out.
we're so fuckin cooked lmao, the dnc has straight up given up. the Bidenist regime and it's stubborn refusal to negotiate with its voter base has condemned the US to another trump presidency. I hope they sleep well in the bed they made (they will, 4 years of trump won't affect them at all. after all, they're not the ones headed to the camps)
So I thought to myself, why is ozma / NYT / the Hill all of a sudden super interested in swing states, when before it was almost all talking about what the national polls show
And so I looked up what the NYT poll said about national numbers. The answer will shock you!
(Polls are crap, in general; I’m more just pointing out the hypocrisy of freaking the fuck out about Biden’s numbers tanking because of the debate, then when they don’t, pivoting seamlessly to freaking the fuck out because he’s 3 percentage points behind and he’ll never catch up and he’s being a moron to stay in, to now seamlessly freaking the fuck out about a new, however perfectly valid, way of looking at the polling, when he pulls ahead by 2-3 points nationally.)
I stick up for Biden on a lot of things because I think he did a great job domestically, and because his opponent is clearly so horrifying that he’ll make it impossible even to maintain Biden’s improvements, let alone go beyond him to the places that the country actually needs to go. But I’m actually fine with replacing him - just, according to some kind of coherent plan for what the Democrats should do instead, and a convincing case that it’ll be an improvement. In that case, then sure, let’s rock and roll.
I do react negatively to just a shrieking tide of misleadingly negative news about him - like, say, reacting to the news that he’s now up by 3 points in a national poll by pivoting to some other thing to talk about, using a framing that creates a narrative that he’s steadily losing support week by week and it’s insane that he’s even considering staying in the race, because it’s a lost cause. That I would fight against, yeah - not because I necessarily think it’s proven that him staying in is the right answer, but because that narrative is a bunch of transparent horseshit unsupported by the facts.
And if Biden is confirmed as the nominee you're going to support him 100% right? Are the people who don't vote for Biden (assuming he's on the ballot) also helping Trump?
Finally some good news.
Please vote for Trump, if you don't care about internal politics - think about millions of Ukrainians who are trapped in Ukraine right now, and for whom Trump's presidency (and his promise to end the war) is the only hope to survive!
Hahaha right. How is serving Ukraine on a platter to the Russians somehow ending the war? Because that's what that felon child rapist's plan is, to have Russia win the invasion that they started.
I wonder if you come across a kid being raped like trump raped kids, would you say, "just let him finish inside you and stop resisting?" Wait nvm I'm sure that's exactly what you would say seeing as how you support that child rapist.
