Joe Biden’s mush brain isn’t the only reason they’ve been avoiding public events. This was the other big reason, and will remain a big problem for them.
There certainly is a lot of astroturfing going on, but a lot of the fools I know online who are throwing coconut trees in their handles aren’t DNC bots. There is genuine excitement for her. She appears as a clean slate. She’s been silent as the grave for the past four years, to such a degree as she isn’t seen as Biden’s biggest cheerleader. She hasn’t voluntarily gone out of her way to publicly eat shit every day the way many confidently wrong Democratic figures and administration spokespeople do.
Any awful shit the Biden administration is responsible for can be conveniently blamed on him, while any good things which came to pass in the past four years can be appropriated. People fill in the blanks (and they are enormous blanks) with whatever they want to believe. It isn’t much different from how many of us felt about Bernie in 2016 and 2020.
I’m not saying she’s a good candidate either. I agree with pretty much everything @DesertComrade@hexbear.net says here. I just think things have gotten so much more bleak in the past four years. Our standards have been lowered to such a degree, that THIS is what inspires people.
My ANAL SEX = PROLAPSED RECTUM shirt has a lot of people asking me questions already answered by my shirt.
Honestly they’re not wrong but now is not the time. Pulling Biden now would be political suicide. In 4 years Buttigieg will be ready for prime time and then you can have your proper primary for “next-generation” candidates.
There are probably two black people in this entire subreddit.
Yes. Observe as Peter Thiel’s handpicked automaton is appointed VP at the RNC.
Ideally no one gets hurt along the way: Maybe grandpop refuses to give up his license, drives into an oak tree, and only the car gets totaled. But sometimes there are casualties: Maybe a pedestrian gets hit. President Joe Biden, 81, is acting like one of history’s most negligent and pigheaded leaders at a crucial moment, and right now, we are all pedestrians.
Well connected 60 year old national TV news political pundits being like, “Oh my God! Imagine how terrifying it would be if the the United States government was a threat to your wellbeing!”

A key part of Blue MAGA, one which this article doesn’t highlight, which Newsweek is probably incapable of highlighting, is the belief that the United States can turn back the clock and return to a nostalgic, mythical golden age. This is the common foundation which MAGA and Blue MAGA are founded upon. A political outlook resembling the belief that a pile of ashes can be turned back into a tree.
Sam Seder also said recently that Biden is the best Dem president in living memory (low bar).
They are liberals and can only remember as far back as what they had for breakfast.
Gottheimer would never.
I imagine these polls are framed along the lines of the US ones where they ask shit like “on a scale of 1 to 5, how liberal are you?”
I watched Requiem for a Dream for the first (and only) time on acid. Some of us are just built different.
Making a bunch of crafts like toys and stuff is a good idea. I don’t remember who it was but someone was repeatedly making ☼masterful☼ stone mugs in the craft workshop. Children will pick up items like toys and figurines and carry them around, getting happy thoughts if they are well crafted.
