In this thread: people who don’t know how poorly this went every other time they switched.
do they know we automatically lose Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin if we lose Biden/Harris?
I can’t fathom the circular firing squad mentality at work here.
Correlation isn’t causation, the switches happened because they were doing poorly
One time the switch happened because the popular candidate was assassinated.
One time it was partially because of, and partially the cause of the Civil War. (Contest only resolved after Southern delegates walked out)
One time it was because neither candidate could get the support of the KKK. No that’s not a joke.
And another time it was because of the civil rights act. The guy who ended up causing the contest really, really hated it.
In every single case, the party that had a contested convention lost the election. Generally by a pretty wide margin.
This isn’t like other elections in the past. But at the same time there is no clear full proof solution for another person to take the wheels. They should do whatever it takes to make sure Trump and Trumpism is defeated long term.
Trump is only a symptom of a dysfunctional system. Whether it goes by the name of trump or it goes by the name of something completely different, there will always be a boogeyman to scare voters for them to remain in power. Democrats will provide a boogeyman for their supporters and Republicans will provide a boogeyman for their supporters. All in an effort for the duopoly to stay in power, and keep any outside threads at bay
This is another “both sides are bad” argument; while partially true, the Republicans clearly are much worse.
Thanks for proving his point.
Aaaaaand you get downvoted.
People don’t actually realize why there’s so much support for Trump. A lot of the public is tired of the gasligjting, bullshit, and lies that establishment politics has brought them for the last ~70 years.

Yes and Trump would (and already has) brought far more of that than we’ve ever had to stomach before. Your point is straight out of 2016, wake the fuck up.
I didn’t say that Trump didn’t also do that. The guy is outside of establishment politics even if just based on his mannerisms. Trump voters aren’t the most rational people lol.
A lot of it is just people tired of politicians playing the politics game. Like Biden is basically minmaxing talking about his own good achieviments because he’s scared to loose the centrist vote, and that rightfully makes more left leaning people kind of queasy, me included. It effectively discounts the stuff he’s done.
Edit: AND it discounts his own voting base by turning them into numbers. but that’s the two party system for ya. Trump doesn’t really ever worry about that.
He’s down voted for consistent bullshit takes. Look at the post history.
So why not the post itself
Too many people are starting to realize he’s right.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mr. Schiff, who has been among Mr. Trump’s most outspoken critics, said at the fund-raiser that Mr. Biden and his campaign staff had been generally unwilling to engage the views of outside pollsters and political experts and urged them to do so, the people with knowledge of his remarks said.
At least one donor who attended the event and listened to Mr. Schiff’s remarks said he left dejected, believing that Mr. Biden’s chances of winning were now slim and that they should concentrate giving their time and money to downballot candidates in the hopes of salvaging something for the party.
Mr. Biden’s campaign pointed to statements that it and the president’s allies had repeatedly made in recent days that he maintained strong support from members of Congress.
Only a relatively small number have publicly come out against Mr. Biden’s candidacy, the campaign said, noting support from members of groups like the Congressional Black Caucus.
Mr. Schiff rose to national prominence in 2019 as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee when he led the impeachment hearings against Mr. Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine.
The impeachment proceedings began after an intelligence community official seeking whistle-blower protections told lawmakers about a phone call Mr. Trump had with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.
The original article contains 678 words, the summary contains 211 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Who is the biggest colonialist? That’s who gets my vote.
Mr.Biden could be heard mumbling to himself “I’m not dogmatic, only I can save America!” While standing in a corner facing a mannequin trying to shake its hand.
No he didn’t.
“No, no he didnt… but you can imagine what it’d be like if he did!”
It was a joke about his mental state. Of course he didn’t actually do that lol
We can joke about these things. It won’t be the downfall of society. They’re doing that for us.
The toddler gates they keep around him now would prevent wandering off
