“leftists who have hated Biden for years and opportunistic pundits who have hated Biden for years quickly agreed that the key to beating Trump is to relentlessly attack the duly nominated Democrat until he’s totally unelectable.”
with all due respect do people not realize this is extremely bad
People are speaking what they perceive to be truth. Do you actually wanmt to ADDRESS THE THINGS THEY'RE SAYING? The media narrative is what it is because it speaks to people. That doesn't mean it is, but make the argument for why its not!
Its extremely good actually Will, largely because its forcing you to pretend to everyone Biden is fit to lead the nation, which in turn ruins your own credibility and weakens your future political prospects.
It’s almost like a lot of people don’t care about actual justice or the actual well being of the population so much as the pleasures of exercising power and influence
first of all, Biden is one of the most ethical and empathetic president we have had. He is a good person, so anyone who says they are a Democrat but have hated Biden for years is NO DEMOCRAT. F that guy.
Is talking about how biden sucks more or less problematic to his election chances than the democrats deciding not to pass the voting rights stuff they promised to pass?
Yes, the condition of the country, the election, the threat of fascism and the mental faculties of the candidate which the DNC proposes to combat the fascist — are all bad. As well as the genocide which that Dem candidate has enabled for the past year.
Are not supposed to notice?
I don’t think Thursday (and, as we’re now finding out, the previous 6 months) can be blamed on “leftists who have hated Biden for years.” But people gotta go thru the anger phase, and for Democrats that means hating leftists.
“the dirty hippies were right but wrong” is not a very unique take.
The problem is that Republicans fight dirty and in this day and age being a good old honest guy doesn't cut it. Democrats need someone who can stand up to and face off against powerful people with no integrity who can tap into and appeal to the most primitive instincts of ordinary people.
It's not even about Trump losing, it's just relitigating hurt feelings from the 2016, 2020, 2024 primaries. Their candidate finally gets to be the nominee and they can have that moment of "winning" they've been chasing all these years
it’s different groups of people whose political commitments are governed by memes all coalescing around a panicky meme plan where barely anyone has fleshed out anything past step one, and step one is “override the voters to force a democratic president out against his will”
They know it's a bad idea they just care more about beating Biden than about democracy
I'm not assuming good faith if someone refuses to stop floating dipshit plans
