You can’t continue without us. Think we all got that one including Vlad. Do you think that just might be why Putin is doing what he can to elect Don - again.

No reasonable person would disagree with you on this, or disagree that Biden did a tremendous job. @Strike and @jerryskids are either ignorant of the truth or refuse to see it. Either way they’re completely wrong on the facts about this.

The Real timschochet 6,812 Posted July 10, 2024 What’s really sad is that there is no aspect of the Presidency that hasn’t been superior under Biden, whether it’s the economy, inflation, immigration, foreign affairs, climate change, any issue you could name- Biden has done a better job. Part of this is by default, really grading on a curve, because it’s hard to find a worse President than Donald Trump. It’s not even a close comparison. But due to poor messaging the public doesn’t seem to get this. Too bad. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 5,565 Posted July 10, 2024 Biden went to talk to the AFL-CIO today. He let this gem slip: Quote Not a joke. They're warning me not to take too much time with y'all today in terms of talking. ROFLMAO. And then he went off script and started blabbering about his DEI hires and they cut off the mic and threw all the reporters out so they couldn't ask him any questions. Yeah, he's doing a great job in demonstrating how competent he is to be President. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look, it's well established that a gigantic amount of Biden's votes were simply "not Trump," including my own. I will not vote for Biden this time; in good conscience I just can't. But I will sure as fock vote for Kamala or any other Dem that can put together a coherent platform against Trump. Millions of Americans feel the same way. We see that Joe isn't up to the job anymore, but we know damn well Trump would be an unmitigated disaster, so we don't exactly need the second coming of JFK.

I think the Democrats have come across this way a good bit recently. I disagree with your statement in general, but to be as mild as I can be, your guy sucks on immigration. The public knows that, and while age and inflation are eating his candidacy up, even if he survives the age thing he was already behind because of immigration. I know you like open borders and unlimited immigration, but the average American doesn't. It's really that simple, and it's why Biden was already behind.
