return2ozma OP , in Voters have real doubts about Kamala Harris as potential president, poll finds
@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

The POLITICO/Morning consult poll reveals that only a third of voters think it’s likely Harris would win an election were she to become the Democratic nominee, and just three of five Democrats believe she would prevail. A quarter of independents think she would win.

The poll shows that Harris shares the same poor ratings as Biden. Both are well underwater, Biden at 43 percent favorable and 54 unfavorable, Harris at 42 percent favorable and 52 percent unfavorable.

fah_Q , in U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) calls on Biden to lower food prices

Pass a law taxing windfall profits of "the food business" then give a tax credit to Americans who made less than a million dollars? You know or fucking try anything instead of nothing and what we are currently doing that hasn't worked since 1980.

I vote for this

ChihuahuaOfDoom , in U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) calls on Biden to lower food prices

I too would like lower food prices but how is Biden supposed to accomplish this?

Set and freeze prices on basic staples?

Oh. Lots.

The only difference between the two fascists is that one wants the pink money and the other speaks ugly words

A: Gazan genocide

Well that seems misguided. If both candidates will let the genocide happen, but one will also fuck everything else up, it seems like an easy choice.

Wrong. Both candidates will do genocide. They aren't just letting it happen. This is active participation.

The main difference is the one that will fuck everything else up will fuck up the genocide too, because he's horrible for the US's international relationships. It'd be a lot easier for the ICC and ICJ to do their jobs if the US alienated all of Israel's other support.

Even better, blue-no-matter-who's would join the campus occupation instead of siding with the cops cracking down on them.

protist ,

I'm voting blue no matter who when the opponent is a Republican every damn time. I also don't support the police actions against protesters, am against the US's ongoing support for Israel, and want the genocide to stop. I'm still voting for Biden and every Democrat up and down my ballot in November. I've got another chance to vote for more progressive candidates when the next primary happens, but until then I've got a ton of progressive candidates in local races on my ballot this November and Biden being in the White House is better in literally every way than Trump being there.

You are the reason Biden is ignoring the uncommitted movement. He knows he can rely on blue-no-matter-who voters and he doesn't need to listen to voters. You undermine every attempt to push Biden on every issue. This is all your fault.

protist ,

This is all your fault.

And if Trump is elected, it will be your fault. Then you can have even more indiscriminate murdering of Palestinian civilians, plus the gutting of our entire federal government, the end of federal protections for workers, the environment, and protected classes, and a couple more Christian Nationalist Supreme Court justices to further erode your rights.

This election is not like 2012, 2008, 2004, or 2000, when protest votes mattered and happened but both major party candidates respected the rule of law. Hell, I voted for Ralph Nader. This is not the same my friend. Donald Trump must be kept out of office.

There might not even be any Palestinians alive in Gaza by the election if Biden doesn't stop this genocide, and if he doesn't stop it is your fault. You are undoing the work of all those campus occupiers that are being beaten and arrested. If you don't force Biden to stop there won't be anyone left for Trump to kill.

And when I say it's your fault I mean that literally. You are directly responsible by directly supporting genocide.

I'm not supporting Trump, except by your tortured logic of "everyone who isn't with us is with the enemy" bullshit.

and a couple more Christian Nationalist Supreme Court justices to further erode your rights.

There's already a 7-3 majority, we're fucked until Democrats expand the Court and Biden won't do that either so whatever. I'll vote Dem down ticket to hinder Trump if he wins, but I will not vote for genocide and you can only blame Biden for forcing me.

Out of curiosity, did Aaron Bushnell vote for Trump by self-immolating?

The lack of coherence between these two statements is stunning

TropicalDingdong , in Joe Biden’s Terrible Israel Policy Is Really About Getting in Bed With Saudi Arabia

Ah yes. Great allies.

If murdering US citizens is your thing, Mohammed "Bone Saw" bin Salman.

Maybe you prefer global terrorism, Saudi Arabia provided logisitcal support to 9-11 hijackers.

gressen , in Joe Biden’s Terrible Israel Policy Is Really About Getting in Bed With Saudi Arabia

This reads like a very biased material, regardless of it's factual content.

The Intercept’s reporting reflected perspectives common in media coverage on the left, such as pro-union, pro-progressive, pro-labor, pro-democracy, pro-LGBTQ/social justice, and was sympathetic to Palestine, critical of Israel, and in general critical of figures in power, like the Biden Administration, major corporations, and other key U.S. government officials.

sanguinepar , in Nikki Haley says she 'will be voting for Trump'
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Feb. 29, 2016: At a rally for GOP Sen. Marco Rubio, who Haley had endorsed in the primary, Haley said of Trump, “I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the K.K.K. That is not a part of our party. That is not who we are,”

Jan. 12, 2021: In an interview with Politico, Haley said of Trump, “We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Hey Nikki...

adespoton , in Nikki Haley says she 'will be voting for Trump'

Thankfully I’ve already forgotten everything about her except for her name and that she’ll be voting for Trump.

So if anyone mentions her to me in the future, my only possible response will be “oh, that woman who voted for Trump?”

Boozilla , in Nikki Haley says she 'will be voting for Trump'

Confirming what we already knew: she's a POS who will do anything in a weak attempt to be relevant.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres , in Biden Says He Was Still VP During COVID and Obama Sent Him to ‘Fix It’

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic
There’s been more than one pandemic, y’all. He was VP during Swine Flu. I know he’s old as fuck but I’d assume that’s what he was talking about.

return2ozma OP ,
@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

The mental gymnastics to turn a blind eye regarding Biden's public declining mental state.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres ,

I’m not turning a blind eye to it. I know he (and Trump) are sundowning. My personal opinion is that Trump is worse off just based on how they both were in the 90’s or 2000’s. Like, look up a video of Trump on Leno or Letterman and he’s not rambling on or angry like he is now. Biden always had “gaffes” or whatever you want to call them.

Everyone their age declines. To me, Trump is showing some of the early Alzheimer’s signs with the anger and the non-stop rambling (which he didn’t do in the past). Biden seems like he’s aging in the way where, if you were his kids, you’d stop letting him drive and be concerned but he’s substantially the same person he was 10 or 20 years ago (even if that included verbal gaffes).

PonyOfWar ,

Some of the first swine flu cases in humans in the US were in Michigan, so Biden being "sent to Detroit" makes sense. Way more than it would for Covid.

Bonesince1997 ,

Please, everyone, shit on this guy as I do! It's really important to me.

IsThisAnAI , in Demonstrators vow to disrupt DNC protest in Chicago with or without a permit

Fuck I love watching progressives eat their own tail. I for one cannot wait for another 4 more years of trump.

jsomae , in AI 'godfather' says universal basic income will be needed

He's not an economist, so I'd be healthily skeptical of this exact economic solution. You should however be very concerned about his opinions on where AI is going that it may necessitate this.

It's kind of curious that the headline here is "UBI" given that he mentions AI poses an extinction-level risk.

TokenBoomer , in How Bernie Sanders wins an argument

Great, helpful video. Thanks
