Didn’t think we’d be getting to the DNC backed Muslim ban only 6 years(?) after Trump tried it

We really are becoming more efficient

The most obvious thing a year ago would be for the DNC to pick a new candidate and let Biden take the fall for starting WW3. I honestly don’t know what they are thinking by doing the unpopular thing yet still running Biden.

Either Biden is forcing it, or they are surprised that support for Israel would be this weak.

DNC staffers brainstorming fundraising email drafts as we speak

“We are now under one of the MOST TYRANNICAL leaders in WORLD HISTORY”

And they still get all the policy they wanted, and they get to shrug their shoulders and smugly say “guess you should’ve voted harder, kid”.

Both of the parties are more comfortable being the opposition when they don’t actually have to do anything and can collect donations while telling people they need to vote harder.

I always figured you can grift more when actually in power compared to fundraising like chumps in the offseason.

The amount that industry lobbyists will pay to get a government contract or whatever makes donations look petty.

But I have no sense of the actual numbers for any of this

The difference is, the lobbyists expect returns on their money. People getting emails about STOPPING TYRANNY are donating on a 100% vibes basis and will accept “shucks orange man stopped us” instead of concrete actions

Most political money doesn’t come from scared Pearl clutching Liberals, most of it comes from corporations and lobbies. Those corporations and lobbies buy favor with winners, not losers. Less seats and less power means less money.

I think the genocide in Palestine is hurting them more than they realized. And Ukraine - that’s become pretty unpopular but Biden keeps pushing forward.

But I think inflation has really been what’s hurting him the most. I hear about it a lot from apolitical folks I know IRL and they weren’t mentioning it a year ago. Biden’s little cheerleaders on Reddit can talk all day about how the rate of inflation might be going down, but damn near everyone knows they’re paying a lot more for things while their income hasn’t kept up.

Yes but if you remove the price of groceries, housing and gas then inflation is TOTALLY under control!

Their sole argument has been “we all know he sucks but he’s the only option so you have to vote for him”

Introducing another option would just make it clear they were full of shit the entire time. Especially if they force in another shitlib everybody hates and try to say “actually this person you all despise is the ONLY possible option”

Did you tankies consider that every vote for Trump is actually a vote for Biden?

Biden is crushing it.

Every vote for trump is a vote for fascism, and every vote for fascism is a vote for genocide ergo: every vote for trump is a vote for Biden checkmate liberals

Have Americans stopped to consider that everything is actually great and they’re just stupid for not appreciating it? If you’ll just look at this chart,

Maybe Biden will share that idea at his press conference tomorrow in Michigan. I’m sure it will be an even bigger hit with Arab-Americans.

Yea I have a sneaking suspicion trying to take credit for an economy where nobody can afford groceries and then calling anybody who points that out an idiot might not work out like they hoped.

Maybe if he does one more genocide he can turn it around

You’re unironically right. War pretty much always boosts a US president’s popularity. It’s how Bush Jr got re elected after he stole the first election. The hogs love war. Biden bombing Iran, Yemen, or “Iranian proxies” (as American propaganda describes any group in the Middle East opposed to US interests) would boost his popularity.

It doesn’t seem to be as much the case nowadays. If anything, liberals will vote for a war president regardless of party affiliation while conservatives vote consistently with their guy declaring war. They think Biden and the Dems are weak even after everything they’ve done so far. I don’t think anything will really change that.

Well Trump didn’t do a traditional reelection war and lost. Biden did two, but halfassed so the war electorate is grumbling.

An old guy wanders into a Subway shop with a guy in a suit and shades behind him. The guy talks to his wrist. The old guy has a couple minders with him too but they can’t stop him from marching up to the counter to complain in a loud voice.

“I did another genocide. When do I get a free sub?”

“Every third genocide is free, sir. Free to you that is.” (glances nervously under the counter)
