Republican Senator Susan Collins recently made headlines when she announced that she would not be voting for President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. While some may view this as a bold stance, considering her party loyalty and previous voting record, others are skeptical of her sincerity. It’s hard to forget that she voted to confirm controversial Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, as well as to acquit President Trump during his impeachment trial. So, can we really trust her words now?
It’s clear that Collins is aware of the political climate and the potential impact of her statement.… Continue reading
As a concerned citizen and staunch supporter of progressive values, I find myself grappling with the recent endorsement of Joe Biden by Bernie Sanders. While I have immense respect for Bernie and his unwavering dedication to the working class, I can’t help but feel conflicted about throwing my support behind Biden. The message from Bernie is clear: Biden is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump, and in a time of great political uncertainty, unity is paramount.
The stark reality is that our democracy is at a crossroads, and the choice between Biden and Trump feels like a matter of life or death.… Continue reading
I find the current political landscape in the United States to be peculiar and unsettling. The fact that the majority of Americans don’t want Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate, yet he hasn’t lost ground to Trump in the polls, raises a lot of questions and concerns. It seems like people are more focused on supporting any candidate who can beat Trump rather than truly believing in Biden as a strong leader. This dilemma points to a larger issue within our political system.
The Electoral College adds a layer of complexity to the presidential elections, making it crucial for a candidate to have a clear advantage in order to secure victory.… Continue reading
It’s hardly breaking news that the New York Times editorial board has finally come out and declared Trump ‘unfit to lead.’ For many of us, this has been evident for years. The failed businessman turned reality TV star has shown time and time again that he lacks the basic qualifications and moral compass needed to lead a country as powerful and diverse as the United States. The fact that this revelation comes just ahead of the Republican convention, where Trump will once again be crowned the party’s choice for president, adds salt to the wound.
But let’s not forget the other side of the coin.… Continue reading
It’s infuriating to see how Democrats are not truly acting as if a Trump victory over Biden is an existential threat to democracy. The elite, the rich, they will be fine either way. They have the resources and agency to navigate any political landscape, regardless of who is in power. They were unfazed by Hillary’s polling in swing states in 2016, and they didn’t raise much fuss when the Senate blocked Obama from nominating a Supreme Court justice.
The lack of urgency and strategic planning within the Democratic party is baffling. The insistence on blindly supporting Biden, despite his obvious shortcomings and lack of appeal to moderates and independents, is a risky gamble.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the current political landscape, one thing becomes abundantly clear – the upcoming election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is a truly disheartening display of choosing between the lesser of two evils. The issue at hand is not just about questioning Biden’s age and mental acuity, but also about the glaring hypocrisy when it comes to scrutinizing Trump’s own cognitive abilities.
Despite being only three years apart in age, the stark contrast between Trump and Biden’s mental acumen is undeniable. While Trump routinely goes off on nonsensical tangents, mixes up important details, and shamelessly lies, Biden is also facing scrutiny for his own slip-ups and moments of confusion.… Continue reading
As a concerned citizen and a lifelong Democrat, it is disheartening to see the focus on calling for President Trump to drop out of the race rather than acknowledging the glaring issues with our own candidate, Joe Biden. The reality is that Trump is not going to drop out, and even if he did, it does not guarantee a victory for the Democrats. The calls for Trump to step down are largely driven by a desire to feel good about opposing him, but they do little to address the shortcomings of our own party’s candidate.
Trump’s presence in the race may be infuriating, given his track record of lies, degeneracy, and criminal behavior, but the fact remains that he is a contender in this election.… Continue reading
As the dust settles from the recent debate, one thing has become abundantly clear – the stakes have never been higher in this election. With the country facing unprecedented challenges and the future of democracy hanging in the balance, the choice between Biden and Trump has become a matter of existential importance. The recent endorsement by AOC of Biden represents an important step towards consolidating Democratic support and rallying behind a candidate who, despite his flaws, offers a credible path forward for the nation.
In the midst of speculation and doubt surrounding Biden’s candidacy, AOC’s endorsement serves as a strategic move towards unity and collaboration within the party.… Continue reading
The upcoming election is a crucial moment for the United States, with the fate of our democracy hanging in the balance. The stark reality of the current situation is that we have a president who embodies all the negative traits one can imagine in a leader – a criminal, a moron, a rapist, a narcissist, a liar, a cheater. Despite this, the fact that the race is so close is alarming and raises serious concerns about the state of our country.
The Democratic Party, particularly the DNC establishment, must bear some responsibility for the predicament we find ourselves in. The party’s reliance on wealthy donors and its reluctance to engage in a true class war against billionaires have alienated many progressive voters.… Continue reading
As I sit back and absorb all the noise surrounding the topic of finding a replacement for Joe Biden, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration and uncertainty. Jon Stewart’s recent comments have sparked a flurry of debates and discussions within the Democratic Party, highlighting the growing divide among party members. The question of whether or not to replace Biden with a more inspiring and charismatic candidate looms large, but the reality of the situation cannot be ignored.
Jon Stewart’s call for a replacement for Biden comes at a crucial time, with less than four months until the election.… Continue reading
