Maybe their strategy for getting votes could be something better than “the other guy is worse”.
Oo I’m so scared!!!
GTFO. Democrats losing the white house and the senate in 2024 is a fuck around and find out moment.
Americans. We’ve been fucking around for a very long time.
Ok so it starts with you. Volunteer with your local voting rights groups and get people registered to vote. Work their social media teams. Go to high schools and go register those turning 18. Voting rights groups are well known for this useful work.
Does anyone not think that?
The people who think fascism could never come here, I guess?
Those people should probably take a look at the Nazi march that went down in Wisconsin yesterday if they think it’s not or can’t happen in the US.
A shocking amount of news never makes it out.
The people who think now is the time to make a moral stand by voting 3p
Every time is the time to vote for what you support. If you did we wouldn’t be stuck with neoliberal ghouls like Biden.
You are absolutely correct, instead you’d have the literal fascist Trump instead. It sucks, but as lang as you guys have the first-past-the-post (2 party) voting system, voting for the lesser evil is the best one can do.
The only way to change that is to vote for candidates that support other voting systems like ranked choice voting.
I don’t think about this ever. I’m literally waiting for one of those two worthless parties to die.
Oh, it’s both parties are the same so I’ll do nothing guy!
Wait you can lose elections? Shit …
The Democratic party leadership doesn’t seem to understand it
Well past time for one of those historical shifts to a third party.
Of course they could lose them. They are senile and old. They probably lose all sorts of shit
Why would the Dems care? They know who it is that will protect their privilege and power for them when the working-class no longer buys their “centrist” bullshit - that’s why they spend so much time “reaching across the aisle” to naked fascism.
A question to American Lemmy users: from what I can tell you are Democrats for the vast majority : would you consider voting for a Republican president if you aligned with his ideas, or if the Democrat candidate was an unredeemable piece of shit? The two party system makes zero sense to me because it doesn’t seem, at first glance, that they’re a huge overlap, people are not willing to go to the other side often, it seems. … what’s the point of having debates and stuff then?
Uh… Haven’t we been screaming that Biden is a pretty bad candidate since he took office and begging him to not run for re-election?
This is a surprise to who?
To who? The convicted felon? Or maybe it’s that Florida governor who is pissed off the largest Media company in the world?
When their entire campaign was based on ‘we are not Trump’ then turned out they were exactly like Trump and his policies, they deserve to lose.
Demonstrate how they are exactly like Trump.
- Kept the trump tax cuts
- Same immigration policies
- dumping billions into war machine
- kept Trump’s tariffs
- DeJoy still running USPS, and nominated board of governors keeping him
- hasn’t done shit for wages or healthcare
- Net neutrality still fucked up
- Same foreign policy
- Debt through the roof
- Bidenomics is killing us
- healthcare still out of reach
- kicked millions off Medicaid
- cut billions from SNAP
- double child poverty
- etc etc etc
WARNING. This person is being disingenuous and is arguing in bad faith.
Their purpose here is to get you to engage so they have more space to spread their propaganda. Don’t fall for it.
No bad faith here, liberals turn a kind eye to genocide and continuing most of trumps horrible policies
I’m with you, a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for genocide.
Appreciate ya posting this
heh. You’re not wrong. but, eh, you just engaged… :)
lol fuck outta here
This is the best summary I could come up with:
And while he’s downplayed the role his advanced age could have on his ability to lead, polling’s revealed that more than three-fourths of US adults think he’s simply too old for another four years in the White House.
The publication said that some of those around the president have advocated for him to walk shorter distances and ditch his dress shoes for more comfortable ones, sometimes sneakers, to lower the risk of him falling.
A poll released in early November by the New York Times and Siena College also showed Trump leading the Democratic president in five of six battleground states.
If he can regain the trust and support of his 2020 electorate, especially the young voters who voted for him in droves but hate how he’s handled the conflict in the Middle East, he’s got more than a fair shot at winning reelection.
Additionally, Trump, the party’s leading candidate by a wide margin, is currently fighting a mountain of legal battles after getting charged with 91 felonies by grand juries across the country throughout 2023.
The Supreme Court’s decision in 2022 to overturn decades of precedent for abortion access has also led to Democratic voters turning out in record numbers, especially when abortion-related referendums are on the ballot like in Ohio and Kansas.
The original article contains 718 words, the summary contains 214 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
My problem is that since the first time I’ve been able to vote, the Democratic party has shown they don’t care about who the people may want. They will actively suppress whoever isn’t their chosen one. And there are cases where they fund ads for their crazy opposition instead of building a meaningful case for their candidate. I voted for Biden originally, and I will not vote for Trump now, but I need more than “vote for me because I’m not the other guy”, especially the second time around. If Trump wins, it’s because the Democratic party shot themselves in the foot. Party cohesion is made by leaders who listen to their constituents.
Vote Biden; he dies in office; Harris succeeds; GOP writhes in agony
This waa my thought last night. I don’t want to see Biden die in office, but having a Black Woman™ as president would cause so many hilarious meltdowns.
Eh, I don’t want to switch over to democrats only policy is to “OWN TEH CONS”, look how well that worked for the republicans.
To be fair, though, the best way to own conservatives is just be respectful to margainalized groups and they’ll make up the pain all on their own.
Democrat leadership has a severe communications problem. I’m not sure why they refuse to fix the disconnect.
