I think he’s testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

We shouldn’t have normalized letting traitors run for office. But SCOTUS deemed the constitution “unenforceable”.

We need to normalize the constitution. But people acted like the 14th amendment was “novel” and now there’s precedence.

Would things be different if the media reported on how the administration avoided the global recession or about how we exceeded every other first world country? Maybe.

Should they have explained WHY prices were high? Obviously, but then they would sound like they’re defending the administration. That’s why they never explain the WHY for anything.

It sucks, but our media favors Republicans. That’s the playing field.

It’s a terrible position to be in to argue that you are the right person to continue making things better. You have to argue that you’ve done a good job while also acknowledging that more needs to be done.

Just a note on mail ballots. Some can often abuse it by coercing their spouses to vote a particular way.

Terrible argument for what?

Avoiding a recession was a good thing. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still problems. Sorry if you’d be happier with a job market crash or a housing market crash. But that would be even worse for people.

The economy being strong was only ever a commentary on the foundation. The economy is stable and people are still struggling, which is what Biden has said.

They should have been screaming about it four years ago. Biden chose to take the high road and not talk about the previous administration.

Because people want to be angry, they want their feelings justified, and there’s no actual evidence for what the other person claimed.

“It’s not enforceable” just like the 14th amendment.

Vivek will enthusiastically support literally anything. Him supporting anything shitty shouldn’t be newsworthy.

Prices go up faster than they go down. They rose fast as costs went up. They didn’t go down because profit margins were higher than what any of them lost from customers leaving. (Doubling the price of goods and halving the customers leaves companies ahead.) When other companies also kept prices high, suddenly all incentives went away.

Also, people have become entitled. Everyone. Just look at McDonald’s. They kept raising prices, way above competitors. They just kept raising prices until people stopped going there, but they never stopped. Even when they couldn’t afford it or they could go somewhere else.

People are feeling inflation and prices still aren’t coming down.

Honestly, I think government’s part in the higher prices are close to zero. People don’t want to give up their conveniences and capitalism just doesn’t work the way people think it does.

I’ve been thinking since the election, there needs to be a rebranding. Most Republican voters agree with “liberal” policies. Most liberals agree with “progressive” policies. We need to start calling it what it is.

Bernie, AOC, Warren are liberals.

Clinton, Biden, Harris are conservatives.

DeSantis, Trump, Huckabee-Sanders are authoritarian elites.

Liberals are pissed because we keep reaching across the aisle in hopes of centrism from the DNC candidates. And conservatives won’t even vote for their values.

I feel the opposite. The rainbows give me a fisherprice vibe on a fake PC. The purple looks classy and it looks like a first party console

Hell, that was a whole media cycle where the media wanted her to call him a fascist and blow up, but she kept saying “let’s move forward.” The slogan became a thing because the media kept insisting she respond to him and she wouldn’t.

Seeing everyone blame her for not doing the things she was doing makes me feel more emboldened that this was inevitable.

Biden had to make the case that he has been successful AND he’s the right person to continue to help people. Which is what both have done.

It’s what Obama had to do in 2012. It was probably impossible to do this election.

Biden focused too much on his accomplishment (which are legitimate), although he wasn’t going to make a eloquent case regardless given his speech problems and his ego.

Harris practically ONLY talked about how she would help people with inflation and other struggles like home buying. But she didn’t make her case well enough (nor do I think she could have).

Option 1, SCOTUS deems that the constitution “isn’t actionable” like they did with the 14th amendment already.

SCOTUS already defied the constitution by allowing Trump to run. People think a third term isn’t feasible for some reason. They’ve also made decisions based on completely theoretical cases. Stopping SCOTUS requires 2/3 of congress which isn’t happening.

Option 2, the president does whatever he wants and SCOTUS simply allows it all to happen as they have consistently done.

They think right of progressives makes them Republican. When it really just makes them a liberal.

If nothing else, save a little for the next vote in 2 years. We can’t afford to lose you.
