So his whole pitch is “If you elect Trump democracy will end. If you elect me it won’t.” While this is a good argument this isn’t going to get people to the polls. They need something to vote for, not something to vote against.
That would generally be something I agree with, but this is a much different scenario. Voting against Trump is definitely the move.
I’m not saying to vote for Trump. I’m saying Biden needs to give better arguments than “trump bad”. It’s the same damn argument Hillary tried and we all know how that worked out for her.
He’s done a lot that I like on the environmental front
Not to mention the big drops in crime and inflation without a recession
Compare the talk about environment with the actions on environment. The 2 don’t align.
God forbid you mention the looming climate apocalypse while these guys are trying to fellate the democratic party.
Ironically it’s also the death of democracy.
If you have to vote for a certain party, you’re not free to vote.
And let’s be real, the republicans are only going to be fielding worse and more dangerous people going forward so there will never be a chance to vote any other way than dem. Let’s hope you like right wing corporate interests because that’s all you’re getting.
I’d rather hear what he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it than be told shit we already know.
Look to the Democratic Party platform if you want to know what he’ll aspire to. What he can actually do will be constrained by the Congress we elect and by the courts
Hasn’t been restrained by Congress when he bypasses it to fund a genocide but for anything else suddenly he has zero power
Yeah because Republicans wanted that. Do you not understand civics? They don’t want anything else that actually helps America
The President has a bunch of explicit power around military decisions.
That’s not the same as being able to just go do anything.
But did he slam Trump? I can’t get riled up about a story without a good slam.
He definitely goes off.
He’s correct about Trump, but why do I doubt that this will make a lick of difference to the people who were going to vote Trump? Unfortunately him saying that will probably only confirm to the Trumpists that Trump is the scrappy underdog hero they already think he is.
The goal is not to convince Trump’s core supporters, but to get low-information voters to understand what the choice they’re making actually is.
The people that sue to keep people off ballots, RCV off ballots, rig their own primaries, and cancel primaries to install their chosen candidate have no business talking about threats to democracy
There are different levels to being a threat to democracy. I’m pretty sure what Democrats did doesn’t really compare with the dictatorship Trump has in mind and what happened on Jan 6.
Liberals help enable the type of dictatorship we currently live in.
People that sue to keep insurrectionists off the ballot are fine by me.
That’s not what being discussed here
Uh? How so?
The DNC has sued to keep Green party off state ballots, they argued in court they are a private corporation that can use primaries to install their preferred candidate, and theyve sued to keep RCV off ballots for future elections, and sued to keep RCV off ballots where its already passed for use.
Trump, who you are referring to, even though he is a piece of shit, has only keep accused of insurrection, not charged with it. Whether you like it or not, until he’s charged, he should be free to stay on the ballots. Which is what I expect SCOTUS to rule.
The 14th amendment says nothing about being charged or found guilty of insurrection.
