Anyone else is a popular choice. Everyone loves anyone else. That is, until you name anyone else.

This is just new evidence to support what has already been known. I would be surprised if this made the news considering it never made the news before.
Yes, Trump is a rapist and a pedophile and not just an acquaintance of Epstein.
That is exactly what I’ve thought about during his time there. So many disasters brought on by light regulation. The response has been far better than you would normally get. Unfortunately I think bureaucracy gets in the way a lot.
The response from the public should be MORE Democratic support and stronger regulations. But unfortunately usually the response is “not enough is done” and give less support with zero regard to how that will impact policy.
And I’m not advocating for him. I’m literally just trying to think of who could possibly win over enough moderates to beat Trump in swing states.
I’d take these people over Trump in a heartbeat. No question. But if we’re not going to get behind one of them right now, then we all need to start supporting Biden. And it sounds like that’s what we’re going to need to do.
Unless everybody gets behind Pete Buttigieg right fucking now, then there isn’t another choice but to go with Biden.
And I don’t say that as someone who loves Pete, but he’s the only person with name recognition, resume, and any kind of uniform positive feelings between progressives, moderates, and centrists to win.
Either that or pick Joe Manchin, say fuck off to climate change initiatives for the next 8 years, and go hard after centrists in swing states.
I can’t think of anyone else that would stand a chance from a strategy perspective.
The fact that anyone (let alone half the country) would pick a literal traitor who failed in every way possible as president over a guy that had a bad interview while sick, with a B+ resume is ridiculous. Just a week ago the right was accusing him of doing drugs because of how well his State of the Union went. We avoided a recession and we’re recouping from the pandemic better than any other country.
Hell, just look at the debate itself. Biden memorized 90 minutes (or 45 minutes) worth of facts and used them to back up every claim he had while Trump literally lied the entire time and took credit for everything Biden (or Obama) did.
Between all that and literally being the only thing that kept the Republicans from throwing the US into default with clever negotiations (seriously, the dude fucking manipulated McCarthy so bad he lost his job), the only thing crazy is that people pay so little attention to politics over the last 8 years that all they know is that he sounded weak during a debate.
I’ve seen USSC used like one other time and it was weird. It makes me think of USMC.
Both candidates lose to a generic 3rd candidate. That was true even before the debate. The problem is finding a generic 3rd candidate that people agree on.
Truth is, the only person I can think of with enough name recognition that might bring enough support from progressives, moderates, and centrists this late is maybe Pete Buttigieg. But I wouldn’t bet on it. Biden needs to use every moment from here until November to get in front of people to show that the debate was an outlier.
He’s always had it. But it was probably easier to manage it when he was younger.
Also, allegedly had a cold and probably got flustered after the first time he tripped on his words. And inexplicably kept trying to recite various metrics from memory.
I’m going through and unsubscribing now from the few I was subbed to. One had a better community elsewhere since the last the last time I checked.
The only one I’m missing a replacement for is findacommunity, which I asked for on the community.
I guess so. I don’t mind like-minded spaces. But leaving no room for discussion just seems pointless.
Oh. I forgot about them being tankies.
Weird, my conscience is to vote against the corrupt, fascist, rapist with a grudge against America. After dealing with Trump’s presidency and the aftermath, I can’t even imagine not voting for Biden. And I’m in a red state, so my vote definitely doesn’t matter.
I guess they don’t argue with people directly and the posts don’t seem too bad. It’s always mixed in with my other posts.
I didn’t realize it was that extreme. I mean, my comment was literally just saying that a less progressive policy was still “reasonable” even if I didn’t align with it.
I forgot about .ml being the tankies instance too.
Thanks. I guess I’ll have to start using my Beehaw account some more for some of my news.
Interesting. Thank you! I didn’t know that you could look that up. I don’t think that was an option on the Connect app.
I’m not able to access that link. But I saw where criticism of the government was treated as derogatory statements on the people.
I’m totally fine with that as well. I’ve also heard that surgery requires a lot of verification and validation from psychologists. Medical professionals don’t just sign you up for life-altering procedures. In fact, if I as personally deciding, I’d say let medical professionals do their job.
I fucking love being American. I hold American ideals in high regard.
I hate that people who hate freedom and equality claim to love America and freedom in general. I live in a red state, so I see traitorous flags everywhere I go. But American values hold true.
Pride month in general fills me with a lot of American pride. Regardless of how many antagonistic people there are, those who continue the fight for rights show the true American spirit.
I remember when gay marriage was illegal, which always felt like it was unconstitutional and anti-American. So seeing people celebrate those rights and continue to fight for rights that are withheld, that is America to me.
