Do they think Trump would be better than Biden when it comes to Palestinians? The Trump that moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to signal that it was an Israeli city?
“I’ll put my cards on the table: I’m a permanent resident of the US which means I’m not allowed to vote.”
Then you can STFU and sit down. You want to be able to vote? Get your citizenship. My daughter-in-law JUST did. This will be her first election. She’s not going to do anything that supports a Trump win.

Hint - She’s from one of these countries.

No, I will blame them. Make your threats to Biden all you want, put all the pressure on him to stop supporting the genocide, absolutely. But come election day if you don’t realize that Biden, even as is, is still a far, far better option than Trump, then yes anyone staying home over this is absolutely partially to blame.
As a non American I thank you for the chance to have more Trump, you fucking morons. 😕

Biden should consider campaigning then. If this election is so important, maybe we need a more effective candidate?
Biden could literally not say another word the rest of the year and still be the smarter choice than letting Trump in.
Do I wish he was 30 years younger and more active? Of course. I wish a lot of things. That doesn’t change that democracy is literally on the line and I’d vote for a corpse to keep Republicans out of office.
Look at the polling. Biden isn’t winning this election.
If you really want to stop Trump, you have to start using your brain and realize that by all metrics Biden is losing. This blue no matter who attitude, where its turning a blind eye to the actual campaign failure which is Joe Biden, which is happening in real time, WILL ensure us a Trump presidency.
The only poll that matters is in November. Hillary was a shoo-in in March of 2016. (And in front in March of 2008 IIRC)
No, the polling right fucking now matters.
NO candidate EVER has come back from the deficit showing.
Do you actually want to stop Trump or not?
NO candidate EVER has come back from the deficit showing.
Stop making shit up. (Or, stop getting your facts from Social media, as it’s really the same thing as making shit up).
Here, I found some actual facts for you. This is December, not March, but still relevant.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/103351/clinton-maintains-large-lead-over-obama-nationally.aspx
Obama wasn’t running on a 39% approval rating you dummy.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/
Thats what fucking matters. Do you want to fucking beat Trump or not? Whats your priority here? Running Biden or beating Trump? You have to pick one.
Edit: Oh you want Gallup? We can do Gallup
https://news.gallup.com/poll/103495/election-summary.aspx
Clinton at that time had a net favorability 30% higher than JOE FUCKING BIDEN has currently. Obama’s net favorability?
FUCKING 50% higher than Joe Bidens CURRENT NET FAVORABLY.
You are INSISTING we crash the fucking car into a brick wall.
NO candidate EVER has come back from the deficit showing.
Trump did.
Again, what the ACTUAL fuck are you talking about? Trump was NEVER net negative in polling.
Trumps 2015 polling.
and guess what? When Trump slipped in the polling in 2020, he went on to lose the election.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2020/national/
Trump was polling ~8 points higher than Joe Biden is currently and went on to lose the election. Biden was polling 30 points higher than he is currently and barely squeaked it out.
Obama did vs Romney. He was consistently down during May of 2012, and then proceeded to have a slam dunk victory.
Almost every poll I’ve seen shows it being very competitive.
What in the chicken fried fuck are you talking about?
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/
This is the figure I made last month. I’m regenerating it with more recent data and will add it below.
Edit: Here is the updated figure. Its gotten worse for Joe Biden. If you DO NOT WANT Trump as president, you NEED to find another candidate, RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
Let’s see the five-way polling this race actually will be about.
The guy’s losing his mind over 3 points 8 months before the election.
It’s not a great position for Biden to be in, but throwing in the towel now is a terrible idea.
Are these goal posts being moved or is this an actual request?
Because if you want a different figure generated I can do so. I’ve got the data loaded.
I heard the same rhetoric in 2020 and 2022… Besides, the campaign season hasn’t even started and Biden is out-raising Trump already.
Since you raised attitude, the problem with your attitude is that you’ve got no alternative substantive solution. You can throw peanuts from the peanut gallery all you want, but until you offer up a better solution that is consistent with reality, then people will not take you seriously. Sorry, there is no magical Obama waiting to save us. Joe Biden is what we’ve got, and at least he’s got incumbent advantage.
You mean like Monday when he was on Seth Meyers and showed he was actually pretty mentally sharp?
I don’t love Biden. I wouldn’t have voted for him if he wasn’t the front runner last time, and he’s clearly too old, but he at least sounded competent. And was coming with stuff off-the-cuff pretty quickly. To be honest, it surprised me.
Nothing short of complete annihilation of it’s current incarnation will fix the political system in America. That being said you realistically have 2 choices. Bad, and worse. Choose wisely.
Filmmaker and Michigan native Michael Moore agreed that Biden’s stance on the ongoing slaughter in Gaza could easily cost him the state, and in turn, the entire election. In a recent interview with CNN’s Abby Phillip, Moore said “I’ve been saying this month that he’s going to cost himself the election. …If Trump has any chance, it’s the decision that [Biden’s] made to embrace slaughter, carpet bombing, babies in incubators dead because they cut off the electricity, on and on and on.”
Inb4 Michael fucking Moore gets accused of being a conservative. You know it’s going to happen.
Michael Moore has been an idiot for a long time.
Was he right about Trump in 2016 or not?
This whole thing is so depressing. Not Gaza, which is a tragedy, but the conversation around it. People who have family members starving and dying right now are upset, and there is zero empathy for them. Just anger directed at them by people who are (or were) ostensibly on their side.
I will not be commenting further in this thread because it belongs in !politics and I’m out of antidepressants but not booze.
It’s difficult. On one hand, it is a fucking atrocity, and it’s hard to blame people for being upset that someone with the power to at least lessen the harm, isn’t.
But on the other hand, ensuring the greater evil gets in does nothing. No Palestinians are saved by a Trump presidency - and it’s very likely that MORE will die compared to a Biden administration, considering Trump’s all-in attitude with Netanyahu. Not only are no Palestinians saved, but many Ukrainians, Americans, and Taiwanese will likely suffer and die in not inconsiderable numbers directly due to a Trump presidency.
As such, it’s difficult to look at someone grieving and saying “Everyone’s throat should be cut, not just my son’s!” and react with sympathy when that has very real effects on whether or not everyone’s throat gets cut.
(Breaking my word but only because you’re cool)
If your family members are going to be shot on your dime, I don’t blame people for checking out entirely or even pushing for collapse. They’re basically powerless in our political system, and when they exercise what little influence they have to stop their families from being massacred, they’re treated like shit.
And now it’s time to drink and pet my kitty because I hate this fucking system so goddamn much.

Yeah. World’s fucked. But maybe it will get better someday.
Dumb gotta dumb. They’re willing to burn their country to the ground for something happening in another country. Under any other time, I’d be ok with it, but trump is an existential threat to everything the country stands for and will bathe in it’s smouldering ashes. Reap what you fucking sow.
We all know how devastating a second Trump term would be. It’s also important to understand the damage that Biden is doing by funding a plausible genocide
“That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Be a shame if something happened to it…”
I guess at the basic level Biden must think the pro Israel vote is bigger than the gaza vote?
Statistically, your one vote is as meaningful whether you vote for a major party or a third party.
You don’t vote to get your preferred candidate in. You vote to pull the one that might closer to where you want them.
Voting for Biden is voting for a genocide, whether you want it to be or not. Assuming Biden gets in, all you’ve done is tell the DNC that their voter base actually don’t care all that much about genocide.
I mean,
If Obama’s handling of Guantanamo not closing and the drone striking of Somalia and Yemen didn’t stop his second term.
I can’t see how Gaza’s situation will affect Biden’s.Truth is, most of your population doesn’t even pay attention to the details of news, unless it’s something to do with Kardashian’s or Taylor Swift.
There is a significant Muslim population in Michigan that is paying attention. Michigan is a swing state, if Biden loses it he probably loses the election.
Good luck with Trump, the defender of the Islamic people and totally not going to bomb them trust him Bigley
That’s centrist copium really. This shit is making the news everywhere and it’s turning young voters against him. There are 10 years’ worth of voters today who weren’t eligible 10 years ago and most of them (especially if you only count democrats) are not happy about what’s going on. This is to say nothing of the Muslim voters who are destroying Biden’s chances in multiple swing states.
I will absolutely blame the voters, because it’d literally be their fault. That’s how elections work.
Well, there are also Belarussian elections.
anyone who doesn’t vote for Joe or someone like him is the same brand of selfish and stupid, and you can all eat shit
