Why would Biden ever step down?
Biden has gone further than any previous American president could ever have imagined.
The war in Ukraine has completely severed any chance of Europe forming a close alliance with Russia and China in the upcoming showdown between US and China. That’s a huge win for the neocons.
Europe is now spending huge proportion of their GDP to militarize, and that also means austerity and cutting welfare and social programs. That’s a huge win for the American military industrial complex and the private equity firms looking to cannibalize European public utilities and companies.
The US went from being a net oil importer to net exporter after the war started. American natural gas is now replacing Russian gas. That’s a huge win for the American fossil fuel industry.
Remember when Trump bragged about how well the stock market was doing under his presidency? Well, S&P500 is now 50% (!!) higher than the highest point during Trump’s era. The rich people are not just getting free money, they are SWIMMING in it. That’s a huge win for the American donor class.
Biden has achieved everything that Trump had promised the donor class but failed to deliver.
Why would the donor class ever want to replace Biden? Just because his polling is bad? You cannot be this naive and think that democracy is well and alive in the country? I can assure you that if they want to favor a certain outcome, it is going to happen.
I’m going to guess that over the next 11 months, there will be something such repulsive coming from the GOP platform that half of the “progressives” who swore never to vote for Biden, will end up defending Biden because “Trump is threatening to destroy our democracy”. The other half will keep the facade while secretly voting for Biden in the ballot box, because they are so afraid of what’s going to happen if Trump wins again.
All of that is true, but Biden’s approval is currently lower than Trump’s and Carter’s at the same points in their presidencies.
Honestly does that really matter? Like every president is unpopular in the social media age. Once the election is actually on the horizon the media will blitz us with Biden good, Orange man bad propaganda and the normies will fall in line.
Biden is also behind Trump in every swing state. It’s still mostly a coin toss as to who will win in 2024 but it’s not looking great for Biden.
That’s why I said:
Biden has gone further than any previous American president could ever have imagined.
Biden is surely breaking new grounds everywhere. I think we’re going to find out, if it hasn’t been made clear over the years, that the opinion of the 95% doesn’t matter at all.
The US went from being a net oil importer to net exporter after the war started.
pretty sure this already happened during the Obama administration
The US has always been a net importer until last year:
But it’s true that the trend has been going for a while, just that the Ukraine war accelerated and pushed it across the boundary.
It’s her turn.
I’m hoping for Biden not to get the hint, resulting in a very public backstabbing, leading to Hillary v Trump Round 2
Imagine all of the ride or die Biden libs suddenly defending him getting dumpstered by the party, it would be so funny.

It’s going to be Biden vs Trump because Biden doesn’t stand a chance against anyone but Trump and Trump doesn’t stand a chance against anyone but Biden.
