The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual

Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.

The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

Dude, your choice is between an insurrectionist fraud who is almost certainly a Russian asset and a moderate.

While Biden may not be the perfect candidate, the choice of who to vote for isn’t difficult.

Yeah, but I’m in of the more than 50% of states Biden has zero chance of winning.

The only time my state has went D in recent history was when a young progressive outsider won the Dem primary. And in the 16 years since the DNC has taken a lot of steps to ensure that never happens again.

Most recently taking NH’s delegates away.

If the DNC wants to win my state, they’re going to have to stop running neoliberals, regardless of how I personally vote.

But the DNC doesn’t want to win if it means a progressive candidate.

So you can blame one random voter for having morals, or you can blame the DNC for not giving voters what they want for easy wins.

What do you think is more productive?

Ah, so your answer is to bitch and moan about both candidates until election day which you won’t even be participating in. Got it.

People reading along here should note this person is trying to turn blue states purple, they admit it with their own words, and they are appealing to morality to lure suckers in.

As if nobody but them is a moral person

Bullshit.

But a lot of us have religious triggers planted deep, yeah? That if you toddle along with the person claiming they are of virtue, maybe you’ll be a good person too?

Anyway.

Vote like your hair is on fire, because if assholes like this fine upstanding “moral” person has their say and causes blue voters to stay home, we’re gonna be fucked, just as we were before. They’re trying the same tactic that worked before even to give us Trump. And why wouldn’t they? It worked.

No state is “safe” from flipping.

Also note that playing with voting demographics is why a lot of the anti-abortion laws are being pushed…to cleanse purple states of blue voters by driving them out. So when you see anyone encouraging you not to vote because a state is safe, understand it’s part of an effort to flip states from blue or purple to red.

In the last 60 years, my state has voted for Dems twice…

To get it up to three, you have to go back 90 years, that’s longer than Biden has been alive, barely

Man, you remember when only Republicans made fun of people for having morals and not just blinding voting for your team?

It wasn’t that long ago…
