2016:

• Trump loses debates
• Trump hit with multiple scandals
• Fundraising dries up
• RNC starts shifting funding away from Trump
• Multiple allies abandon Trump
• GOP openly calls for Trump to drop out
• Trump wins

So I don't want to hear a word about "chances of winning are zero". We're not rolling dice here - you either have the votes or you don't. And if you don't - then you get to work turning them out.

Why is AOC one of the only people up in arms about Supreme Court corruption?

Why isn't this the lead story in the media NIGHTLY?

Why do most people only know the tip of the corrupt iceberg about what these "justices" did?

And why aren't "patriots" storming the castle over a rogue branch over government taking rights away? Too busy buying Trump Bucks?

Top Democratic fundraiser Clooney calls on Biden to drop out https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy68gxw32zno

@bontchev @GossiTheDog "chances of winning" implies that Nov election will be a game of dice where candidate with a best roll of 10 wins...

But it's not - you either have the votes or you don't. And Democrats should be focusing on turning out the votes, not flirting with hypotheticals.

@bontchev @GossiTheDog To make matters worse - what happens when replacement candidate runs into similar issues that Biden is facing now (drop in polls, poor performance, adverse public perception etc)?

Find another replacement for replacement? Nobody calling for Biden to step down has a good answer for that either...

@bontchev @GossiTheDog whatever Dem party is doing right now - it'll be viewed as posterchild case of political malpractice in modern history

@GottaLaff If these visits were such a red flag - wtf was MSM doing for 8 months instead of reporting these visits?

Don’t worry—it will be “bloodless,” if Democrats and liberals are just willing to lie down, shut the fuck up, and take it like a good Trad Wife.

I've repeatedly posted a Lawrence O’Donnell vid on why dropping NOW (key word) will lead to prob's. START AT 6:30, pre-6:30 is a waste: https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112700224365400519

I will not debate this anymore

The compulsion to convince people Biden should drop falls on deaf ears bc the person making the ult decision is Biden, nobody else

I’m so over people trying to convince me, others why he should drop. WE don’t decide, HE does

If he drops, we vote for the Dem

If he doesn’t, we vote for him

End of story

@GottaLaff pre-6:30 is a good watch too

I've seen a lot of people telling me that this story means they think #Biden is weak so they want him in the election. No...you're missing the goal here. What they are doing is declaring how they will conduct a coordinated lawfare campaign to screw the Democratic nominee.

@NZedAUS @GottaLaff it ain't Kamala.Case in point, low info voter - my wife. She doesn't know who Kamala is. If you remind her - she'll remember, but other than that she'll draw a blank.

She's voting for Biden and hasn't heard about debates. When I explained it to her, she responded with "who cares".

That's the type of voter you'll alienate the moment you replace Biden with literally anyone else.

hu_logic , 7 days ago

@NZedAUS @GottaLaff not trying to run a poll here, simply pointing out a sizeable cohort of voters you'd have to make up for.

And guess what? If MSM can't reach them - nobody can. These voters will see replacement as a clusterfuck in the party and just stay home instead of voting for someone they don't recognize.

Fam.

It's time to talk.

Hillary was in almost the same position this far out in her race
Trump tends to be undervalued in polling data. That said...
Arizona, Georgia, New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin now favor Trump
Biden is within the margin of error in Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, and New Mexico. CO is up only 2 points

What do you think should happen?

Let’s chat

Do you feel you have less interest posting about politics / current events lately?

Why?

Do you notice the same responses over and over again?

Do you feel headlines and events seem to go nowhere or seem to repeat?

Do you think people are more polarized or less polarized?

Are people beholden to their sides’ ideology— the kind of people where if you looked at their profile you would know exactly what they think on most issues without nuance?

I just wanna hear where you’re at…

hu_logic , 2 months ago

@flexghost There are no "news" anymore, just same patterns over and over and over and over and over:

It's exhausting and I'm just tuning it out at this point.

When unprecedented events happen on a regular basis - they are not unprecedented anymore and it's just another fucking Thursday. So I'd rather go listen to music and touch grass.
