Most polls show Donald Trump leading in swing states, but the Democratic Party strategist Simon Rosenberg believes the President’s chances are better than the surveys suggest.
He knew this shit wouldn’t be popular with his base
Did he though? I think it is much more likely that he is either:
(Most Likely Scenario): Living in the past, is completely out of touch with the modern liberal voter base, and is under the illusion that some segment of the older moderates in the base still actively give a fuck about supporting Israel.
(Less Likely Scenario): Trying to strategically thread the needle because he knows that attacking Israel will cause them to further undermine American democracy, and lead to them playing double agent while they assist Russia in installing Donald Trump as president.
In either scenario I believe he thought he was preserving his election chances. What these fucking morons in the entrenched neo-liberal political class fail to realize is that the overwhelming majority of the electorate does not want the US involved in funding any more offensive conflicts, and that there are actually repercussions for the moral disgust people feel over their tax dollars being used to murder innocent people. At some point the "vote for me or get fucked in the ass" proposition fails to be effective anymore, and people just bend over.
Biden's "strategy" is holding his faith in Inertia and Entitlement.
He CAN'T get his head outside of that inertia & entitlement.
I don't think he can win as it is, and I think the economic house-of-cards is coming down, no matter how much bullshit propping-it-up continues being lavished on it, globally, I think it's coming down in September, ripping the rug out from under the Dems ( backlash-vote always nukes the incumbent, in economic wipeouts )
Rabid fascism is real, and treating it as minor is .. russian roulette.
Inertia, institutional ignoring-the-grass-roots and relying on institutional entitlement .. it isn't only Sunak who's coasting on delusion..
just my opinions, but there's some real similarity, between the immune-to-reality ignorance in Sunak & the immune-to-reality ignorance in Biden.
Student loan payments, automatic forbearance ends September 30, 2024. Nearly 70% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck already. Throw in the restarting of those payments and it's a looming disaster.
I’m ending the interview. I’m ending the interview because what you’re doing is ridiculous.
What a joke of an interviewee. Reporter should have just scrapped his planned piece then, because there was no way this dude was going to give real answers. It's an entire interview of spin and outright denial. There are some people who have an argument for why current polling might not be so bad or how we're going to change things, but this guy was like a toddler having a tantrum. "Nuh uh!"
I guess it proved the title, but man was it kind of a worthless read.
