Yes, you can. So can 49% of voters.
Whoever wrote this meme looked at brain-dead Joe Biden and somehow found the wherewithal to justify voting for him again even after his dementia was very publicly displayed.
And Biden still beat Trump when they ran against each other, so I guess that means Biden is the winner and therefore better.
You are aware that he dropped out of the race, right?
Yeah, let's not pretend that his hand wasn't forced by a very embarrassing and public display of his dementia.
...and they still let him get on a public microphone afterward.
Very embarrassing public display of dementia = 5 fox news clips of speach blunders.
Fuck fascists
Biden proved himself over a LONG career
ain’t shy, also, sayin’…
Debate performance was a fucking embarrassment
WHAT THE FUCK DEMS DID YOU FUCKING KNOW BEFORE
bullshit bro this fucking sucks
What about Trump and elon? What about those concentration camps popping up overseas?
Oh, “what about”, though? Hm?
(Don’t think you were wondering whether deportation without due process to world’s most violent prison is bad, since we’re clearly on that same page)
Stoppp our timeline
Plz thx. We need to stop Harambe from happening.
I was no fan of Biden. I’d take a dead Joe Biden over a live republican traitor (and they’re all traitors) 100% of the time.
No shit. Having a convicted rapist as potus is just sick.
Technically he's a convicted felon (34 times over), but only an ajudicated rapist because he was found liable for rape in a civil lawsuit and not convicted of it in a criminal case. Having him as POTUS is still disgusting.
Yeah but I think rapist is a lot worse than embezzler. let alone should have ended his president run
Then say "Ajudicated Rapist" or just "Rapist" because both of those are accurate. He was sadly never convicted of rape.
It was only not "rape" because in NYC it's very specific. And since she couldn't confirm if it was his finger or penis (lol) it's not " rape", its sexual assault.
The rape is bad, but IMO it's less relevant to his job as president than the attempted coup, the Georgia election interference case, his mishandling of classified documents, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if other presidents had been rapists, but I'd suspect few or none had betrayed their country as thoroughly as Trump.
Fair
You and the other 49% say that, but that's the point I'm making.
You were able to look past literal dementia. You can clearly understand how people are able to adjust their perception so they see Donald Trump in a certain light, in this case as a strong man, despite the fact that he's a fat, cognitively-impaired fascist who can't walk the length of a football field without the assistance of a golf cart.
The only point you’re actually delivering here is that you have been thoroughly propagandized.
I'm not the one openly admitting I'd vote for a person without a functioning brain.
As opposed to what alternative?
I fucking hate trump and think he should be jailed. But I see your point. Biden wasn't dynamic, didnt inspire people and he was seen as feeble. Trump is engaging, and people have been inspired by him.
No one voted for Joe Biden twice, he wasn’t on the ballot in 2024. While he was looking like he would be everyone was screaming for him to fucking leave to let someone better and more capable take over, and when Kamala, who was not chosen through a primary, began courting the right and supporting genocide her momentum and the energy of the base fell flat on its face, too. The Democrats love losing and we know this because so many people tell them what they want to see and they specifically don’t do it knowing that they can usually pull the “we aren’t the GOP” card. And this time it didn’t even work for them.
Again, no one voted for Joe Biden in 2024.
Are you a medical doctor in charge of Joe Bidens health. Please provide proof of this dementia, and your qualifications as a medical professional. Maybe your experience in the field working with dementia patients?
Medical degree from Fox News?
This is not a zero-sum game.
They're both ruling-class pawns.
Thinking that anybody who dislikes Trump is somehow up Biden's ass is just fucking stupid.
They’re both ruling-class pawns.
Agreed.
Thinking that anybody who dislikes Trump is somehow up Biden’s ass is just fucking stupid.
The 49% to 49% election results say otherwise.
It certainly proved spending decades lobbying for lower corporate taxes turning public education into utter ruin made our society, and I use that term very loosely as we really aren't, largely incapable of critical thinking and highly susceptible to confidence schemes.
Reminder: Americans believed slavery was just, genocide was just, segregation was just, and eugenics was just. Unless people are taught to critically think, reason, and empathize with their fellow humans, we are little more than feral beasts.
When both presumptive presidential candidates are clearly unfit and cognitively-impaired, and they get get full party support anyway, I'd say you're right.
Voting for the dems =/= up bidens ass when there are only two options to vote for.
Hell, dude, over 1/3 of the US voting population didn't even vote.
Approx. 64% of people of voting age voted, and 49.9% of that number voted for Trump, so realistically,
If people of voting age make up 78.6% of the total population, And 64% of that amount even voted And 49.9% of that amount voted for Trump,
Then of the total US population, only approx. 25% of the American population actually voted for Trump.
(78.6% x 64% x 49.9% = 25.1%)
And that doesn't account for all the people who just voted for him because they were disillusioned with the dems.
So no, 49.9% of Americans do not think he's strong.
Some fraction of 25% of Americans might
[Voting age population as of 2024-11-05: 267,400,939 Total estimated US population in 2024: 340,110,988
% voting age population: 78.6%]
Deport this user!
Back to reddit!
The democrats are going to be a good party again. Trumps going to deport all of our dissenting ranks and we're gonna be really attractive to the middle again. Inshallah.
If they can't get their shit together, they're done.
By done I mean they'll never win again, essentially helping destroy democracy.
If 80% of the party won't accommodate e 20% of the party they are done? Or if 80% of the party can't disown it's own radical base and move center we done? I'm suggesting that the leftists are a worthless flank that can't be depended on for support. A flank that discorages voters from our causes.
If they don't listen to their people, and keep propping up corpses like Biden, or Hilary because "it was her turn". and trying weird shit that clearly doesn't work, yes, it's done. Even myself as a Democrat, am tired of the BS. no teeth all bark. Kicked Bernie out because he couldn't be bought. AOC and Bernie are the only ones actively fighting for the avg citizen rights.
I mean c'mon, couldn't beat Trump? A fucking rapist? Who told you he's be a shit stain leader.
I love AOC too, and i hope america will give her a chance. I would like to see the DNC spending millions of dollars on AOC branding, i'd like demographic tests so we know if AOC is running well for 2028. Im down to support who ever can get americans to support them.
Absolutely, 'it's her turn' ignored most of the american public and a decent chunk of democrats. It ignored Sanders being the populist the democrats needed. Im all about talking failed Dem strategy if its productive to a new strategy.
I guess time will tell.
We should be pushing the DNC to open up the coffers and spend money polling AOC's popularity, whe need to spend money on an imaging campaign, and poll the results.
We need to figure out how to build up popular candidates and policy. We let the republicans run our political narrative. I hope we can steal it back soon.
I wish we had time to tell. Maybe this senate filibuster can go on for 2 years while we reorient.
I'm not wrong, though. :)
You are though. Joe Biden dropped out of the race you dolt.
Which was clearly a bad call to cater to that populist demand. Trump clearly has dementia too, but we're still talking about Joe Biden with progressives. The left. Care more about Joe Biden than Mango Musilini
The only person still talking about it in this thread is the guy that seems to believe that Biden was on the 2024 ballot and that hardly represents “the left”.
Oh my friend i got like 30 of them in my comments from other posts. They are legion and if you ask them or a republican, they are the real left. They represent us more than i'd care to admit. We have a branding issue.
I guess the reason I don’t see them is that they’re all hounding you, then. Also I would never ask a Republican’s opinion on where someone falls on the political spectrum, they think center-right democrats are communists or somehow going to slippery slope the world there in under a decade while actively fighting most left-wing ideology.
The left doesn’t have a branding problem so much as people are stupid as hell and equally stubborn so trying to explain that the center is not, in fact, the extreme left just because the only other option is full-blown far-right fascism is a Sisyphean task. And here in Canada we actually do have three choices which is both better because we have choice and so much worse because even then we’re still considering the Conservative party valid despite all its major failures.
Communicating across political lines and ideologies is one of the most challenging things I do in a day. I trade complex derivatives for a living. Lots of calculus. I still don't really know how to reach the far left or far right, but we need to because they are a growing force, and horseshoe theory turns them into a dangerous unified party.
People are stupid as hell because the dems rolled over in congress to George Bush and the republicans stripping education. People are also not that stupid. I find them to be scared, distracted, angry. Most of them understand complex concepts if you can voice them in their language. You have to avoid a mine field of triggering language. Many times they shut down and scream fuck joe biden. you have to back off let them breath and not push it.
At the end of the day part of our country has fallen for a cult of death and money. I still think we need to look at our countrymen like our family if we lost them to a cult. We have always had a branding problem because republicans are slowly winning the race to erase all progress since FDR.
We have lost the narrative. if i had a dollar for every time i heard a lib say "we can't do that because it will hurt the people and blame it on us" i'd be rich and people would still be hurt.
Ok here’s the deal though, I have a not insurmountable but not pathetic bar I expected to be crossed. If people can see the fucking obvious, in your face shit that’s happening today, where even the right-wing propaganda machine isn’t really hiding it and still believe in 90% of this bullshit then they are stupid. If I have to handhold them and tell them they’re special and use only the best words and still pray that things will turn out even margainally ok then those people are a dangerous, stupid liability. A dangerous and stupid liability that I would still like to see have fair wages and healthcare, mind you, but oh my god they are not smart because you can send them to a university and train them like a Sea World dolphin to do basic tricks(university should also be free, of course).
I’m sorry was there a typo in that lib comment? You’re saying that generally those people agree that they shouldn’t do things that hurt people? And that they actually fear consequences? Those are good things.
I still have incredibly strong doubts that you even know what the far-left is beyond a handful of loud tankies you bump into on the internet.
I am super duper confident when welfare and social services get cutt down we will hear the collective screaming of MAGA first. I'm kinda into seeing my theory in action.
That made me genuinely laugh.
The lib comment was mostly directed at schumer and caving on the CR. Lots of people supported his decision, i think people are getting hurt either way, dont give up any leverage. The people arn't going to really hurt if the government shuts down for a week. especially if it opens back up less violent and oppressive. But they will see that hey wait i am a recipient of the governments services I need those.
I think we need to let people touch the stove a bit, not starve them to death but im pretty sure trump voters need a reminder that they are cashing welfare checks in greater proportion than most.
I have a bunch of leftist friends who are really awesome people and do a ton of work for the community. They are our social workers, teachers genuinely people you love to have around. I know the difference between a leftist and a tankie. Fuck hate tankies my god.
Trump is deporting pro Palestine supporters for exercising their first amendment rights, and here you are screeching about bidens dementia. It is so hard to tell a MAGA from a progressive which one are you? Deporter or Deportee?
