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
I need a Valium Citizens United needs to be sprayed with lighter fluid and lit on fire. Can we take a minute and realize how insane it is that private companies can bribe a president with $90,000,000 to get their agenda’s done? Can we just take a minute and recognize that we are in the middle of some historic shit? Maybe he wasn’t supposed to tell the press that he had $200 million in the bank from donors 😂 Whether or not he should step aside, it’s absurd that a relatively small number of wealthy donors can have the influence to replace the party’s nominee, I hope the DNC tells them as much.… Continue reading
The anti-Trump sentiment in America is stronger and more steadfast than ever before. As we look towards the upcoming elections, it is clear that more people are motivated to vote against Trump rather than for any specific candidate. In 2020, more individuals voted against Trump than for Biden, and it seems like the same trend will continue in 2024. The sheer disgust and disdain for Trump and his policies have united people across party lines in a resounding anti-Trump coalition.
Personally, I can say without a doubt that there isn’t a single Democrat I wouldn’t vote for over Trump. The idea of Trump continuing to run for president well into his 90s is a terrifying thought, but it seems like the anti-Trump sentiment remains unwavering.… Continue reading
The current state of the Democratic party is in a precarious position as discussions intensify about the future of Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign. With Biden’s age and potential cognitive decline becoming more apparent, it seems that key figures like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are now huddling to navigate the best course of action moving forward. As a dedicated Biden supporter, it is disheartening to see the potential need for him to step aside for the greater good of the country.
While Biden undeniably has a good heart and has made positive impacts during his time in office, the reality of his age and mental acuity cannot be ignored.… 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 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 I sit here contemplating the recent statement made by AOC regarding her backing of Biden, I can’t help but feel a sense of resignation in her words. It’s clear that the DNC has solidified its support for Biden, despite potential reservations from the progressive wing of the party. AOC recognizes the reality that the DNC is not going to field a more progressive candidate like Bernie, and the idea of dividing the ticket into multiple new candidates is not feasible. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the alternative of not voting for Biden and allowing the GOP to further dismantle our democracy is even more troubling.… Continue reading
The recent comments made by Jon Stewart regarding Joe Biden’s cognitive difficulties have sparked a heated debate within the political sphere. Many have come forward to express their frustration with what they perceive as excuses being made for Biden’s apparent decline, labeling them as ‘bulls***’. As someone who values honest and open discourse, I cannot help but agree with Stewart’s sentiment. The Democratic party should not be settling for mediocrity simply because the alternative is worse. We deserve leaders who are sharp, focused, and capable of leading our nation effectively.
The reality we are faced with is one where the options are limited.… Continue reading
As the drama surrounding Joe Biden’s decision to decline stepping aside continues to unravel, I can’t help but feel a mixture of frustration and disappointment. The notion of having a maximum age limit for presidential candidates has been a hot topic of discussion lately, and Biden’s refusal to step down despite mounting pressure raises legitimate concerns about his ability to lead effectively.
Biden himself has acknowledged that he views himself as a transition candidate, a bridge to a new generation of leadership. However, his decision to cling onto power despite dwindling public support and questionable debate performances raises serious doubts about his capacity to fulfill this role effectively.… Continue reading
