President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

We need an agree option because I can’t bring myself to give this a like. This is absolutely correct. It is better than my take, which is that this country is depressingly stupid, racist and sexist. The results tell us what I feared before Biden dropped out is true. She never had a chance.

 

Welp. I hope Judge Merchan does the right thing and gives him an active jail sentence next week. Let him rule from inside a New York State Prison for all I care.

 

Oh you gotta go the swing states they said. Hillary didn't do that they said.

Well....what f*cking good did that do for Harris!?!??!?

 

In hindsight Biden showed the Democrats could have chosen any man, except probably Mayor Pete, in 2016 or 2020 and won big

 

Well said.

The only other thing people will realize about old-school politics are campaign promises are not worth a thing.

He will spend his time in office trying to rebuild his empire financially. He’s not helping anyone else out.

 

What didn't matter from this campaign:

Racist MSG rally
A million crazy Trump comments at the other rallies
Dobbs
Liz Cheney
Milley
John Kelly
Celebrities
Nat sec professionals warning
Zero endorsements from GOP VPs or POTUS
Des Moines Register poll
Obamas
Trump getting beat down at the one debate
Newspaper endorsements

 

Didn’t we all get sold, in 2020, that Biden would only serve one term? Then… he didn’t. I think that hurt the process.

I didn’t vote for Trump (nor did I vote for Harris). He’s full of shit in many ways but him calling to not tax tips does resonate with younger people. Even

Even for me — I have tons of time outside of my job. I’d do a “side gig” that so many businesses say no one will do. Except I’m taxed about 36% on every dollar I earn over what I make. If the IRS had a “second job” is tax free for the first 15k, I’d do it.

The Republicans controlling all three levers of government means Dems will have one or both chambers of Congress in 2026. Each party Fs it up when they get all three.

 

idiots

 

Just wait until the idiots who stayed home and the even bigger idiots who voted for him see what he does to our education system, social security, healthcare, and the economy in general. Never mind that support for Ukraine is probably done and we will see what Israel will do in Gaza with no pressure to be humane or avoid civilian casualties. Conservatives are going to hold a supermajority in the Supreme Court for the rest of my life. We will be lucky if that's all the damage done to this country and abroad yesterday. Very lucky.

 

I'm not surprised Harris lost. Am surprised she lost every f*cking swing state (and Nevada which Hillary and Biden each won).

 

And one of the first things the guy who had the support of the police union will do after taking office is pardon a bunch of people who assaulted cops.

 

I'm not sure I will ever forgive Biden for breaking that implicit promise.
