President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Should have named a legit presidential candidate as running mate and announced on inauguration day he would serve one term. And that legit presidential candidate doesn't get a bye into 2024, either. If someone else is worthy, let the voters decide (yeah, what a concept).

 

Biden has become the candidate the Democrats love to hate, obviously, with everyone talking about Michelle Obama, Harris, Sanders and Newsom. But, although it's been said, many times, many ways, mostly by me, Biden's the Democrats' best shot at holding off Trump. Complain all you want about memory loss, but I'll gladly take that over some of the deranged shit like this.

 

And be a lame duck from Day One?

 

He was only there to beat Trump. He did. Now you've got 4 years to find someone Democrats can get EXCITED about after holding their noses since 2016.

He'll be --- with a lot of good fortune --- a lame duck on Jan. 20, 2025. So you were going to get at best a lame duck in either 2021 or 2025 anyway.

 

Term limits for senators (2) and representatives (6).

 

I'd much rather have an age limit than term limits because there is significant value in the institutional knowledge that can develop over longer periods of time than 12 years. I know that's hard to see at present given Congress' general inability/refusal to do much of anything consequential this past decade or so.

But I'd also fundamentally change the House to a parliamentary-style election with seats apportioned based on percentages won rather than a winner-take-all district-based system.

 

I could live with that. You're maxed out if you turn 65 at any point in your term.

 

The expectation was that Trump would lose and waddle his fat ass back to Florida to sulk and never be heard from again. Instead, he’s been stirring up the shit in his own party for the last three years for his next big comeback tour like a bad 80s hair metal band. And his new album is worse than his 2016 album yet here we are talking about how old Biden is while ignoring the actual problems. Biden’s biggest problem is he’s fuckin boring and people now equate that with not doing anything after the last dickhead spent four years tweeting about all of the nothing he was doing.

 

The winner in November will be a lame duck either way. Hopefully with a non-MAGA Congress to deal with.

 

LOL @ Fascists

 

Nothing is preventing someone from running against Biden. And his job was to win the 2020 election, which last time I checked, he did.

 

I could live with 70

you’d lose half the current group even at that line
