Yeah and I liked Justin Amash but 1 or 2 local Congress people do not define the party, definitely not enough that anyone should vote Trump because of them.

Because Hilary campaigned on banning private prisons which caused their stocks to collapse for a year until she lost.
Canada getting PP too.
This will be a pretty critical 6 years to prepare for the climate apocalypse coming up, and we’ll all be going into it with the worst possible leaders imaginable.
Why is the former president and leader of the one of two political parties not the status quo?
Gore was status quo, but if he’d won we wouldn’t have had the war in Iraq.
Hilary was the status quo, but if she won we’d still have Roe v Wade.
If you vote republican, you will get the status quo with an added disaster or two mixed in.
Biden ended the war in Afghanistan after 20 years. You just don’t like that he sells military hardware to other countries, but that’s what every president, even Jimmy Carter, does.
Bernie had 4 years to shore up his weakness with black voters, the same issue he ran into against Hilary and didn’t.
Bernie could’ve offered Pete VP to stay in the race and continue splitting the centrist vote, but he didn’t.
In the timeline where Bernie won, and also beat Trump, we’d be dealing with progressives feeling betrayed that he inevitably did what ever other US president would do and sent weapons to Israel after Oct 7th.
Biden used to be really good against that tactic, it’s why he won the debate in 2012 against Paul Ryan. Ryan gish galloped and Biden responded with a simple ‘POPPYCOCK!’. It worked.
It was like watching 9/11 all over again, Joe.
They will make a bunch of super cuts of Trump talking confidently and then Biden trailing off and getting confused. They will flood Facebook and Tiktok with them.
It was a terrible format. I thought the point of being able to mute them would to keep their answers on question but we got 3 minutes streams of consciousness where the guys rambled off as many of the talking points as they could before the timer ran out.
If Biden had been coached to provide very short, sweet, direct answers and not had an audible death rattle in his voice, he would’ve won.
The only realistic person who would replace Biden is Kamala Harris, and I don’t think people would vote for her.
They’re going to make a bunch of super cuts out of this and that’s all anyone will see one Facebook, twitter, instagram, and tiktok
I’m tapping out for my sanity
CNN wants it’s ratings cow back
Looks like the skin on his face is trying to meet his feet. Just cramming as many talking points as his been trained to memorize as possible into his 3 minutes.
Cortisol addiction is a real thing
Oh, I always thought he said fired and everyone just went along with it
That’s what they always used to say to Chris Hansen when he’d confront them about the texts
There’s a reason for the date! The UAW has called for a potential general strike in the United States on May 1, 2028.
UAW president Shawn Fain has invited other unions to align their contract expiration dates with April 30, 2028, setting the stage for a coordinated national strike on May Day 2028[1][3].
This call comes after the UAW’s successful strike against major automakers in 2023. The union sees this as an opportunity to unite workers across industries and flex collective labor power[1][3].
The proposed 2028 strike aims to address broader working class issues beyond just the auto industry. Some advocates suggest focusing on demands like Medicare for All[2][4].
To make this general strike a reality, unions would need to start planning now to align their contract dates. It would require unprecedented cooperation between major unions[3].
While ambitious, this proposal is seen as more credible coming from a large, established union like the UAW rather than social media activists[4].
Critics note that organizing an actual general strike is extremely challenging and rare in the US. However, supporters argue that even the process of organizing towards this goal could reinvigorate the labor movement[2][3].
The success of this initiative depends on whether other major unions embrace the idea in the coming months and years[3].

If only he had been president for 4 years already or something, then we’d know
