to be fair it's a year out and the democrats have incredible messaging with the "the economy is actually great you imbeciles" strategy
politics
Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.

I don't understand how these people can be so obtuse. Ignore the tent cities springing up everywhere, if you look at this chart, this specific economic indicator is actually up!
"This specific economic indicator which is only positively affecting the 10% richest people in the country is up! You should feel happy for them, and vote for us to keep this going!"
“I don’t know why you’re complaining,” I say to my fellow scavenger as I pull a shabby jacket off a frozen corpse in the alley behind an abandoned Applebee’s, “the economy is doing great!”
Remember the good news the White House sent out during the 4th of July about how the expected generic celebration slop would cost 29 cents less in total?
Remember when Biden signed a bill that Cut Child Poverty In Half
And then Doubled Child Poverty
a year latter when the dems failed to renew it?
It's ok, they can always rerun Joe again in 2028.
Excuse me it's her turn.
And by her I mean Nancy Pelosi. Let's see if we can break the record for history's oldest president
I thought hell was supposed to exist after I died
It already exists
We built it
We live there
Pls no
i dunno, i wouldnt trust someone so inexperienced. they need to learn how DC works and then maybe.
what i'm saying is that feinstein would clearly be the better choice
Can they put him in cryogenic stasis right now?
2028: "it's time. Open Biden!"
People are hungry for a viable third-party candidate. It's HIS turn!
Student loan repayments haven't even started again yet.
How can MSNBC(-like) talking heads even spin that? I guess they'll claim young people aren't a big voting block and - let's be real so here's some tough love - they need to vote for the best interests of their country.
Maybe Biden should put out a video where he says "Hello, fellow young people - I wanna talk to you about Bidenomics!..."
It's funny because the youngster millennials with student loans are almost in their 40s now.
"I have no hope of owning a house or having children because the economy is unlivable even though I make about what my dad does because he pays 1/3 what I do in rent towards his mortgage. And even if I had a kid, I'd be tempted to have them doing rifle drills in the woods so they have a better shot at surviving the water wars."
And then they're like, "millennials are too selfish to reproduce!" No, you just raised us to be realistic and responsible with money and we see 1-2 "once in a lifetime" financial crashes every 10 years.
It makes sense. Biden only won because of Covid, and the Dems have decided that that's over.
C'mon democrats, it's time to talk The Rock into running as a democrat. Let's quit the bullshit and start running almost exclusively pro-wrestlers as candidates.
John Cena 2028
Dems would never run him since he actually genuinely likes China.
The Manchurian Candidate: You can't see him
John Xina* ftfy
Based
Compromise: we can have a kook'd up gerontocrat, but it's Jesse Ventura.
"This is the most important election in your lifetime!", again. Which isn't wrong, but not in the way liberals think it is.
Biden had years to smooch up on the working class and did instead what his track record and position in society urged him to. I.e. block railway strikes. Continue student debt payments. Not extend the supreme court to secure a Green New Deal (at least).
This means that the DNC and party are responsible (of course like the GOP) for putting rights, bodies and thus material/social conditions/relations of marginalized at risk. Again.
Project 2025 do be kinda scary though.
There is like ~~5%~~ 10 % (lower bound) chance one of them croaks in a year
That means there's a 1% chance they both croak. I'd forgotten what hope feels like.
acshually with my guesstimate of ghoul lifespan (100 years) for both to croak it would be 0.05*0.05, so like 1 in 400.
*But then i forgot to add cia angle into the mix
So you're saying there's a chance
This country is so absurd, neofascists are going to obsess over this "comeback" for years
I will never have any idea why conservatives feel the right to even have a bad day in the past 40 years.
They've been having a golden age since Raegan first put his ghoulish talons in the Oval Office and Democrats have been too scared to ever go to the left of him ever since on the rare occasions they have any power at all.
On a shitty incumbent year, a vote for the opponent is a "fuck the incumbent" above all else.
Can you blame even chuds for having a "fuck the incumbent" sentiment at this point?
I can't blame liberals for having a "fuck the incumbent" sentiment at this point.
It's the liberals who insist, "Nooo! You should love the incumbent!" that i don't understand
One thing I learned from 2020 is that polls are completely reliable and firmly rooted in reality
Project 2025
One of the most powerful countries on earth is inevitably a fascist hellscape, and its corpos are ready to press the fascism button
The people are generally okay with it, or super enthusiastic about it
Be stuck in said shithole country.
God is either a comedian, or punishing me for some twisted crime I did in a past life.
Did they extend out the repayment start date? I thought they started back in August. We haven’t paid them of course lol
Nikki Haley I think beats Biden by the widest margin of any Republican candidate. I'd say DeSantis is getting more attention but she could be a dark horse.
That’s because she is the most like Biden. She could win back the suburb centrists who were alienated by Trump’s lack of decorum
It’s gonna be so fucking awesome
If they actually arrest him ahead of the election, that'd be a different thing, but we all damn well know they won't
A few people had some predictions of orange man getting arrested and getting a 5% poll bump leading him to win. I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility
Haha can't wait to live in a fascist hellscape.
We’re already in one baby.
