President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Happened.

Can't be walked back.

And it should be a lesson to every non-cultist that it can happen, so we must prevent it from happening.

 

I'm told this man just needs to be reasoned with, and spoken to respectfully.

 

Do we prevent it by doing nothing?

Or by prosecuting Trump?

 

Every in-depth profile of the hard core Trump voter can be boiled down to one sentence. "Here's a real asshole for you."

 

It'll sound weak, but if we (as a collective) had the answer on how to handle this, we probably wouldn't have let it happen in 2016.

 

No, because . . .

Haley and DeSantis (nine days ago) were doing even better than Trump vs. Biden.

Why would CBS totally make something up so Trump could claim it was rigged if he loses? We're not talking about Newsmax and OAN here.

Haley fares best against Biden as Republican contenders hold national leads

 

Polls aren't rigged. They're not even horribly inaccurate. But since so many elections are so close, they can come up with "wrong" answers that are as accurate as sampling can get. Most of all, they face the fact that fewer and fewer people are willing to take polls in any form. Sooner or later, that is going to cause some massively inaccurate polls, but to date, that has not happened.

 

The anger people show when polls go against what they want to happen still befuddles me. The poll isn't CAUSING the bad thing to happen.

 

91 indictments.

Do we ignore them because we fear Trumpist violence?

Or do we bring the law to bear on the accused?

 

I'll answer with a question: Would the opportunity to make Trump suffer justify the impending violence?

You tell me. I acknowledge it isn't an easy answer. And we don't even know how much backlash would be unleashed upon the nation.
