  1. Yep. Biden gives us the best shot IMO. It isn't Kamala who was like 6th or 7th in the 2020 primary and couldn't make it to the first caucus. It isn't Bernie who was second in the 2020 dem primary. He is 82 years old and all the ageists have told us what that means. It isn't Pete, Warren, or Klobuchar. The Bernie Bros ditched Clinton and gave the white house to Trump because they felt cheated even though Bernie lost the popular vote as well as the electors. Imagine how they will react when the nominee actually lost the primary. It is ride or die with Joe. Maybe we make a switch. I'll support that person 100%. But it will be like when Charlie Strong lost to Kansas.
  2. The poll was taken immediately after the debate. It is far from over. It has the be. There isn't a viable alternative. - Biden does need to show much better during his public showings - hit the campaign trail, get on TV, drop the cold meds, kick ass at the next debate, etc. - The media and Dem talking heads needs to get their acts together. The NYT and other mainstream outlets (CNN) pushing horserace BS is fucking shit up. NYT constantly trying to put trump back in the white house is weird as fuck.
  3. A few musings on our current situation. - The goal should be to maximize the probability Trump and the current version of the GOP do not take the white house. - Biden beat Trump once. He has a lot to run on - has been the best president in the last 50 years, has passed a ton of meaningful legislation, has been a moral and decent individual, fixed the economy, fixed our relationships with our allies, and is standing with Ukraine against Russia. - Biden does need to show much better during his public showings - hit the campaign trail, get on TV, drop the cold meds, kick ass at the next debate, etc. - I don't see how there can be another viable replacement. Some see Kamala as the obvious choice to replace Biden, but she couldn't make it to the first caucus in the Democratic Primary in 2020. She was like 7th or 8th in the field of democrats. Plus, being VP doesn't make you the best candidate - it just means you were willing to take the VP job, that you had the identity to help shore up particular demographics, and that you complimented the president. Being VP doesn't mean you are better than Bernie, Pete, or Elizabeth. Plus, remember all the Bernie bros who felt cheated in 2016 and refused to vote for Hillary helping put Trump in the white house even though Bernie lost the popular count and the delegate count. Now imagine what will happen when we choose someone who literally didn't win the primary - Imagine who all would be staying home under that scenario. - The media and Dem talking heads needs to get their acts together. The NYT and other mainstream outlets pushing horserace BS is fucking shit up. NYT constantly trying to put trump back in the white house is weird as fuck. The bottom line is that we need Joe. I see him as the only viable candidate to beat trump. However, he needs to step up in a big way, Dems need to rally around him, and the media needs to stop fucking around and do their jobs - push felon, rape, project 2025, supreme court, etc. instead of Biden drama.
  4. Makes sense. Your standard is vibes and feelings and doesn't consider the effectiveness of government to make the lives of US citizens better or to increase our standing on the world stage.
  5. There hasn’t been a need for guardrails with Biden. He has been running a great administration. Arguably, the best one in the last 50 years.
  6. Joe isn't the only one in the administration.
  7. The goal is to suppress turnout of the deplorables and increase turnout of everyone else. We do that by rallying around the greatest president of the last 50 years.
  8. So if today’s Israelis are descendants from Europe, it’s not ok for Israel to subjugate, starve, and kill the civilian Palestinian population. Also, if you choose to believe Europe is not a thing, you can also believe it is not ok for Israel to subjugate, starve, and kill the civilian Palestinian population. good discussion
  9. I’ll just say that there are those in the world who want to destroy and delegitimize all governing and social institutions in the US and this is exactly what they want.
  10. We know the GOP are trash, but Dems shouldn't stoop to their level.
  11. Folks are contemplating running an AOC lite in the RGV?
  12. 2.5 million dead russians. interesting proposal.
  13. Suggest you not be so sensitive when folks call out your misinformation. Be better. If it wasn’t intentional, you should still be better and shouldn’t just blindly quote from weird sources to support your positions. What Trump did isn’t evidence of anything about Biden - and pretending it does say anything about Biden is misinformation.
  14. I get that you are sensitive that I pointed out your misinformation. Be better. Because Trump formally recognized Israel's take of the Golan Heights and Morocco's take of western Sahara, isn't evidence Biden is a hypocrite for supporting Ukraine. You should acknowledge and apologize. Be better.
  15. Spreading misinformation doesn't make sense to me. Biden didn't formally recognize Israel's hold of the Golan Heights or Morocco's hold of western Sahara. Trump did. The fact Trump did all of that isn't an indication Biden is a hypocrite for supporting Ukraine. Don't spread misinformation.
  16. wtf. Trump was the one who formally recognized Israel's sovereignty of the Golan Heights and Morocco's sovereignty over the western Sahara but somehow that is evidence that Biden is a hypocrite in his support for Ukraine. Make it make sense.
  17. Sure but did you know John Adams made his wife spend a lot of her time in the kitchen!!?!
  18. Did you guys hear George Washington owned slaves!!?!
  19. The topic is pedophilia. There is a difference between having sex with kids and having sex with a grown woman that worked for you. What are you talking about?
  20. When faced with compelling information that counters a held narrative, one can either reflect and acknowledge the commonalities and obviously disproportionate situations --- or they can nitpick the dataset (but but but an asterisks wasn't carried over!!!) and then label the commenter an "other." The Palestinian civilian population has a ton in common with the Ukrainian civilian population. Both have been subjected to a grossly inappropriate level of carnage inflicted on them by the far-right. One population has been subjected to it for a couple years - the other population subjected to if for a couple decades. There are also obvious commonalities between Bibi, the Likud Party, other far-right extremist elements currently in control of Israel when compared to other far-right powers around the world (Hamas, Modi, Orban, Putin, Trump, Erdogan) - mainly the disregard for democracy and use of populism driven by fear-based xenophobic propaganda that dehumanizes the others. Sadly, that dehumanization leads to bullshit like the October 7th attack by Hamas, the decades long occupation/blockades of parts of Palestine, the ongoing onslaught of Palestinian civilians, and the ongoing onslaught of Ukrainian civilians.
  21. Propaganda doesn't have to be composed of non-facts. Your commentary is un-productive gish gallop. For others, I've pulled back the curtain.
  22. That isn’t a “gotcha” or an excuse to be a propagandist.
  23. Your brain is fried. You should stop reading 956’s hot twitter takes
