ZeroCoolBiden slayin' at the 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner tonight
jordanlundJost nailed it too:
“The Republican candidate for president owes half a billion in fines for bank fraud and is currently spending his days farting himself awake during a porn star hush money trial, and the race is tied? The candidate who is a famous New York City playboy took abortion rights away, and the guy who’s trying to give you your abortion rights back is an 80-year-old Catholic. How does that make sense?”
natural_motionsAnd polls show Biden neck and neck with him…
Trump also supports the ethno-nationalist far-right genocide.
The problem you are highlighting is bigger than the presidency.
Not when it comes to his re-election. He’s responsible for how he’s behaving, fullstop.
If there are only 2 sides, and both support a specific notion, then that notion is useless in determining who to vote for.
Not if you’re considering future behavior of the democratic party (and your own conscience, obviously).
Your lesser of evils politics have put us in this position. It’s time to acknowledge that those politics are an abject failure that have done nothing to stem the tide of fascism, but have in fact helped usher it along at every step.
You need to sit down, your bullshit has inflicted irreparable damage and you should not still be acting like you have some kind of way out.
Flying SquidWhat makes you think there will be a Democratic party if the “dictator on day one” gets into office?
Guess it depends on how the house and senate go.
Oh, well nothing to worry about then. It’s only maybe going to be a dictatorship in January of 2025.
There’s a lot to worry about, what are you talking about? Our democracy is in ruins and people are trying to avoid acknowledging the scale of the crisis.
If there’s a lot to worry about on that front, maybe the future of the Democratic party shouldn’t be priority number one when it comes to voting.
The Democratic party does represent the only lawful potential avenue out from under fascism, but rewarding them for participating in genocide only incentivizes them to keep pushing to the right which means that avenue is closer to closing with every corporate right-wing democratic victory.
They’ve become close to industinguishable from Republicans as it is, allowing them to go any further to the right wothout consequences means the door soon gets close permanently and the only option left is the worst one.
Our government has consistently moved to the right, regardless of party, for the past 40 years because democratic voters refuse to take a long view, instead getting stuck in the fear storred up each election cycle. Which is why the Democratic leadership have adopted this insane strategy of propping up lunatics as their opponents; the dem base has demonstrated to them that when the Democratic establishment plays chicken they win every time.
You keep playing that game, fascism is inevitable. Only thin chance is holding Democrats accountable in the only way available to us, the party must be radically reformed or there is no point to any of it.
