The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual

Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.

The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

    How do you have so much time to spend on this website trying to convince people not to vote? How does someone so passionately stand for absolutely nothing? I’ve seen these same posts from you over and over and over again, yet you never actually have anything to say besides ‘both sides bad, don’t vote.’

    If you have a better option, I’d love to hear it. But if not, maybe shut the fuck up and quit turfing for Trump.

      Maybe I’m just old enough to realize the last 30 years of DNC strategy has been completely devoid of logic, and just results in the Dem party getting more and more conservative every cycle.

      Maybe I’ve realized that as long as progressives vote for the lesser of two evils, the DNC will only ever compromise for “moderates” who wants the party to be more conservative.

      I’ve spent 20 years voting D for president, only once did I get to vote for someone I liked at the time.

      Maybe nows the time to do the only thing the DNC cares about. Loudly refuse to vote for them until they give me what I want. Because that works with the DNC, they’re constantly saying they need to be more conservative to steal votes from Republicans, and that they don’t have to ever move left because there’s no better option.

      Because after 20 years, “voting blue no matter who” has only lead to a slow march of elderly conservative candidates who won’t push for the party platform even when they have the House and Senate.

      I used to say “the primary is the real election” but that’s not true anymore, the DNC just doesn’t give a fuck about the democratic base anymore.

      What’s your grand plan? Keep doing what we’ve been doing for decades and hope the result is magically different?

        Might be slightly more effective to draw a frowny face in poop on your front door to express your political discontent ;)

          I’ve tried voting blue no matter who, and all it’s done is get me a front row seat to the destruction of the democratic party

          I’ve also noticed when anyone else draws a line in the sand, the DNC quickly caves.

          So maybe it’s time for progressives to draw a line. It’s the only thing I’ve ever seen work.

          What’s you’re recommendation?

          I used to say “vote in the primary” but that was before the DNC started canceling them for things only republicans can change.

          I’m honestly asking, what is your plan to stop the DNC from their decades long march to the right?

        The end game of the lib’s “harm reduction” is to continue taking shots to the left 30 years from now when the presidential candidates are a choice between the dem who wants to do 5 genocides and the repub who wants to do 10 genocides. At that point, the metamorphosis from liberal to fascist will be complete. To the liberal mind, political analysis stops with the earth-shattering revelation that 5 < 10.

        They’ve been anchor biased hard as fuck, and they will continue to prop up genocide across the third world and beyond such that they never have to question their precious governmental systems and bureaucracy. The ecocidal, genocidal, imperialist political project that is the United States (which was devised a blink ago by 30-year old white slavers) is far more precious to liberals than, you know, halting genocide.

      What a disgusting comment. Obviously they’re passionate about not supporting a genocide. Can you fucking read?

        Passionate about not supporting genocide, but is willing to let Trump back in the White House, thus propagating the genocide.

        ‘Not supporting a genocide’ is not a candidate running for election.

        Nobody here wants to support genocide. It’s not brave statement, it’s fucking common sense. But the options are ‘a guy who’s weakly attempting to deescalate things’ and ‘hurry up and finish your genocide already’. If you truly don’t want to support genocide, there’s a clear pick.

          Yeah, but Biden and the unelected leaders of the DNC do, and they dont care what you want if you keep voting for them.

              For president?

              Probably a write in.

              For everyone down ballot race?

              Straight D for anyone who doesn’t take AIPAC money.

              Little more work, but worth it.

              If I keep voting straight D, it’s just letting the party be dragged to the right. At some point either the DNC finally listens, or everyone will hit their own line in their own time.

              If your only standard is a D next to name, maybe you’ll never have to worry aboutnthis.
