if he signed away student debt tomorrow he'd win but they don't care about winning because there is only 1 party.

As much as Biden deserves to lose.... doomer

Fuck, they really do win every culture war in the end.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago (3 children)

On the other hand "generic unnamed democrat" is winning in all these states.

It's not just the culture war Biden really is just an exceptionally shitty candidate, just like hillary.

A bunch of people begrudgingly voted for him and he has actively done everything he can to piss off large portion of those voters, while acknowledging that fact and saying he doesn't give a fuck and isn't going to change anything.

He barely squeaked by and since has alienated anybody who cares about labor right, environmental protections, not supporting genocide, and is now actively kicking Muslims out of campaign events. All the while nobody can afford groceries or rent and anytime they bring this up a liberal pops up to call them an idiot and explain actually they're doing great thanks to bidenomics.

Any random asshole could beat Biden at this point by not actively antagonizing people they're supposedly relying on to vote for them.

Reminder that Florida was the "premiere" swing state and Democrats just unceremoniously pulled funding and effort from it. Now they have to spread the same effort across three states instead of one.

[–] oktherebuddy@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

Nah that was good, Florida is subject to an endless stream of immigration from the most unhinged wealthy boomers of other states and the most unhinged wealthy death squad aficionados from Middle & South America. It was never going to go blue again. However now the dems have lost their last excuse for not normalizing relations with Cuba.

I think the Dems will try to make a fake assassination attempt on Biden in order to pump up his numbers.
They'll cut corners to save money and hire the prop guy from that Alec Baldwin movie where he shot someone, and the prop person is gonna bungle it again, leading to Biden actually getting killed. Kamala is expected to become the candidate, but she withdraws to be VP of a surprise candidate...

This isn't good but is is funny. Great watching Liberals' inability to actually do things or change policy cause them to head inevitably towards destruction like a tragic hero or a Greek god, staring at the preordained defeat the whole time but unable to do the simple thing that would stop it.
