Doesn’t apply to me because I’m “not a real leftist” lol. We’re real leftists when it comes time to blame the left for shit but we’re “not real leftists” when it comes time to convince everyone to support establishment Democrats.
Also, its literally an entire calendar year until the election. Trump was at 2% right now in 2015. Polls don’t really mean shit rn and I would never underestimate an incumbent.
Around when the rumor was that Biden was going to choose to not run again (lawlz) I figured he’d likely lose to Trump.
75/25 or so.
But now?
The only way Trump isn’t winning is if he either dies or is made legally ineligible for the presidency.
This comment is funny after the midterm results favoring democrats in most places, including places that Trump won by a large margin before.
I hate Biden, but it’s not like Trump is doing well either. I wish the Democrats would run someone actually good, but they won’t and we’ll have to deal with that.
Democrats are doing well Biden specifically is eating shit.
That poll that came out recently with Biden down 5 points in swing states had “generic unnamed democrat” up by 8 points.
70% of voters said they wished somebody else would be the democratic candidate before he started completely openly supporting genocide.
He’s completely dropped the ball on abortion, Trans rights protections, student loan forgiveness, workers rights and now he’s so completely unabashed in his support for Isreal even liberals are starting to notice the contradictions between Ukraine and Palestine.
It’s totally possible that dems win state races and do well in congress but Biden loses.
Which frankly would be funny having Trump be president but not have enough elected Republicans to do anything.
Plus then democrats might have to actually either do something or admit it’s all show when they suddenly start caring about things like the post office or the concentration camps on the border since trumps president again and they might actually have the votes to possibly do something about it.
Please, join me in writing in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I don’t even know what his politics are (I assume generic centrist feel-good crap) but god damnit we have to get these pro-wrestlers to start running for president. The country is fucked no matter what electoral outcomes, so why not have it at least be more novel?
The rock seems like an asshole with a good PR team but I mostly base that on him being a whiny baby about Vin Diesel who seems kinda ok with a bad PR team, as well as crying about Dave Bautista daring to want more out of life than “Big angry dumb man used to wrestle but now same movie over and over”.
John Cena seems like the best bet for us tbh. Filmed himself shopping in Chinese markets during the beginning of COVID to show “Wet markets” and the hysteria around them is literally just xenophobia for what we’d call a butcher or deli or fish market or whatever, and how it’s nothing but harmful to whip ourselves up into frenzies over shit we don’t understand.
That being said he also continued to put his foot on his mouth over and over again during that time by accidentally repeating silly shit or referring to Taiwan as a country, but also seemed genuine when apologizing and honest about it being a matter of him phrasing things indelicately or generalizing with terms that only made the situation worse for everyone. I dunno, this is all shit I’m pulling from several years ago memory and it seems like a fever dream. It’s possible I just made it all up on the spot from delusions/dreams.
I legit was even planning to vote for Biden in spite of everything just cause of Afghanistan. Yes yes yes I know all of the asterisks and caveats you can give and just take it as how low my standards are.
This shit though…no…not in good conscience. I’ll vote but I’m writing someone in. Anyone. I wouldn’t endorse Joe Biden, let alone vote for him.
So long as rfk is running; trump won’t win
