“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.
He wasn’t an astronaut but we already tried the military officer bullshit with John Kerry.
John Kerry was a Lieutenant in the Navy, an O3. He commanded a swift boat, which were typically crewed by about 5 people. He was a low-level officer. The civilian equivalent of John Kerry’s military command was the produce manager at a grocery store.
Mark Kelly was a Captain in the Navy, an O7. Captains command hundreds to thousands of sailors, depending on their specific posting. The civilian equivalent of his position was CEO of a fortune 500 company, (albeit, a smaller one)
John Kerry ran against GW Bush, who was a First Lieutenant (O2) in the Air National Guard and a fighter pilot. As they had comparable military careers, Kerry’s background was a wash.
Mark Kelly will be running against Cadet Bone Spurs.
Based on their military careers, John Kerry and George Bush were dirt bikes, Mark Kelly was a Formula One car, and Donald Trump wet his pants when the engines started, and cried until his mommy took him home.
The simple fact is that if Kelly is the nominee, you’ll vote for him. You’ll vote for whoever is on the ticket. “Blue, no matter who” voters give the party room to focus on pickier constituents.
The voters we need to focus on are those in swing states and red states who would otherwise stay home, or cast a vote for Trump.
Kelly has proven he can win in red states. It’s time to tag him in.
The civilian equivalent of his position was CEO of a fortune 500 company
He was the civilian equivalent of a huge piece of shit? Ok.
Ok, now think like a voter who has cast two ballots for Trump, instead of a voter who is going to vote blue no matter who. Because that former Trump voter is the one you need to convince if you want to win.
The average blue collar american doesn’t know the difference between a Lieutenant or a Captain!
Normal people don’t care about this shit. Military families do, but that’s a shrinking demographic.
You’re out of touch. The average person i know laughs when they see a virgin O3 walking around like they weren’t just the equivalent of a grocery store manager when they were getting shot at in their dinky swift boats like little bitches.
But when a fucking chad O7 walks around everyone loses their minds! Its just like if they saw a Fortune 500 CEO!!!
