Let them celebrate that "country over" party after Trump won.
"The working class thinks we are corporate elitists, what could we do about it? Hey, how about we take the republican corporate elitists to join us as well, that'll show 'em!"
Anyway, it's a good moment to celebrate that the country is over.
I will remind people of this boondoggle at every opportunity, forever. Biden and Harris bungled this so hard that it's difficult to not see it as willful action from "professional politicians."
Man, i took a break from politics for a bit and completely missed the Cheney shit show.
Biden would have won it.
Would he? I'm not convinced that this is anything less than a manifestation of the total rot of our society.
Our civic institutions are not designed to deal with the level of dis and misinformation flooding us.
Until we fix the disinformation, nothing sane is going to work. Things are only getting worse.
I’ve been assured that AI will fix it.
Sanders would have won.
At the least, it would've been worth the gamble.
I believe this too. 2020 Biden did good but there were already questions about his age. It was clear 2024 Biden wasn't going to be able to do it with his age and the headwinds he faced.
MAYBE a primary would have selected a winner if he had chosen not to run from the start and someone had plenty of time to introduce themselves and craft a good message (and not just 100 days).
But with 100 days we needed a well-known personality with the right message. Bernie is obviously extremely well known and speaks to just the right people that Biden and then Kamala were having trouble reaching - working class, young men.
Gore did win, once they realized the SC could just hand the office to someone…guess what they spent the next 20 years doing.
I think it'd be the same result. I think he dropped out because his election projections werent good and were only getting worse after that debate, and Kamala was a hail mary to try and salvage it.
Yeah his very limited contributions to the campaign sure reminded us all of how great he was as a campaigner. Like when they confined him to a zoom call with supporters and he word saladed his way into calling Trump supporters "garbage". Biden, a real master of messaging, he surely would have overcome the 15 point deficit he had in the swing states, the 80% plus of all voters saying he was too old to have another term, being 30 points underwater in his approval rating, and inspired the masses with his sharp populist messaging.
Ffs Biden should never have tried to run for reelection.
The rock would have won
