President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

@Michael_ Gee asked for numbers and I provided them.
I'm not moaning like Eeyore or wallowing in misery. I try to provide facts or at least what is reported as facts by reputable sources since I've been a journalist for 40 years.

I didn't make up the poll numbers but Harris is behind what Biden polled in those two states.

I know providing facts does no good to a lot of Trump supporters because they don't care about facts. I thought it might be different on this thread.

I'm in a very blue state and even if Trump wins, it probably won't affect my life too much. But it might not be the same for some of my family members, especially younger ones.

 

I hate the framing of some of the Harris ads. Love that she has many of Trump’s cabinet members and their comments about how much Trump sucks, but the last line is “Donald Trump is too big a risk for America.”

That language implies that he has attractive qualities we should consider, but that the juice won’t be worth the squeeze. I guess they’re specifically targeting soft lean-Trump voters or undecideds, not me, but I hate the surrender that Trump had any redeeming qualities.

I remember a lot of Clinton’s ads also having that “too risky” approach.

Smarter people than I have thought through this, so hopefully they know what they’re doing.

 

By a PragerU prof, you mean Prager.

 

Lake knows how to present herself: face down, ass up, this is how she waits for Trump.

 

Can we all be real for a minute. If Trump wins, its because more Americans are idiots who have had their brains melted by social media, media illiteracy (being able to tell the difference between bullshit and sourced material), and are choosing a 30-time felon in cognitive decline. We get what we get. He gets away with his many crimes, Russia wins at least a portion of Ukraine, and a clown car will empty out in DC to fill all of his cabinet positions. Hopefully the Ds take the House to at least retain some grip on reality. But with the courts in his pocket, I think the three branches of government might just get some pruning.

I mean we can all critique the nuances of the Harris campaign, but if you really think some wordsmithing or a Walz gaffe is what might cause people to vote for Trump, we're kidding ourselves. The stove is red hot, people can see that it is red hot, if they want to put their hand on it still - well, you can't fix that kind of stupid.

 

That "say something nice about your opponent" has always been a stupid, stupid interview tactic. But, at least in the past, you could say "my opponent is a patriot who cares about our country and wants the best for it." Not with Trump.
