And don’t forget that we’re in the middle of getting a new Cold War going, what with Russia and China’s strategic plans for the near to mid-term future conflicting with what pretty much everyone else in the world is planning.
So you think Iran and Israel are going to draw Biden into a war so that he loses the election, and the left should react to this by… Voting for Kennedy?
It is sad that a lot of leftists here sound indistinguishable from Steve Bannon in their geopolitical goals.
YOU are the one who clearly doesn’t know what they are talking about when their first claim can be immediately dismissed.
Biden is in unelectable territory at this point. He needs to be at 51-54 to be winning confidently and in the 55+ range to have this thing on lock down. Sub 45 and he’s a disaster. He’s was dipping into the 30s last month. Thats a trainwreck. Now he has moved up a touch since the SOTU, but his positions on Israel are costing him this election.
I’m a fool for asking you to provide context on an image?
I thank you for correcting my mistake, but I’m not sure why you think unkindness is the path to a Kennedy victory, especially when your own sourcing shows his candidacy is a joke.
I didn’t suggest that voting for Kennedy would result in a victory.
My argument is that Biden is has basically lost the election with his policy choices. Trump out performs his polling, and you need to overperform due to gerrymandering. Biden needs a significant polling lead going into November to overcome these barriers.
I think Bernie could step in (He’s old AF too at this point but at least he isn’t hiding from the public like Biden is). I think Jon Stewart could be recruited. I think Gavin Newsom could win. I think Jay Inslee could win. I think Gretchen Witmer could win. I think Nina Turner could win. Fuck, at this point, Hillary fucking Clinton might actually have a better shot than Biden (that last one is a bit tounge in cheek).
We’ve got options, and we haven’t actually had a convention yet. Biden said he wouldn’t run for a second term during his 2020 campaign. My highest priority is not having another Trump presidency. I don’t think western Democracy will survive.
I think, strategically, allowing Biden to take the fire for his shitty positions and polices while running another candidate would make a ton of sense. I also think Biden is too arrogant to step down, but by not entertaining other options, we’re basically guaranteeing failure.
Why would I want Biden to start a war with Iran? Israel is about to ramp things up and his support is ironclad. The US joining an Israeli war against Iran is a legitimate concern.
Where are you getting reports that Israel is ramping up for direct war with Iran?
Everything I have read has said neither side is approaching further escalation at this time. Perhaps you have intel that hasn’t made its way to open source yet?
If Biden attacks Iran, he is at fault for starting a war. He’s the commander in chief. If he doesn’t attack Iran, he’s not at fault, because he did not start a war.
We’re talking about Biden losing votes if he starts a war with Iran. He will not lose the votes that he would have lost if he started a war with Iran, but he is not “fine.” He is still losing votes by supporting Netanyahu’s existing genocide.
If you don’t like hearing that genocide is unpopular, you need to hear it.
Same here, but if he does start a war he’s going to lose a lot of swing voters. A year ago I wouldn’t have thought trump would pose a significant threat in the election, but holy fuck biden is absolutely dropping the ball on Israel. This is his covid.
Hear, hear! If even just so we can have a backup candidate in case he drops dead of old age at the last minute.
Fuck being polite about this. HE chose to run in his 80’s. We should be allowed to talk openly as a nation about a backup plan because he is at the end of his expected life span. Otherwise we are going to let another octogenarian fuck us over the way RBG did.
You think the conservatives won’t start a war with Iran?
That makes both side “unelectable”. So you scratch that off for both sides and keep looking for other differences. Like separation of church and state and reproductive rights.
You think the conservatives won’t start a war with Iran?
No one said they wouldn’t.
Biden will lose enough votes to lose the election if he starts a war with Iran. No one here said they would be voting for Trump, just that Biden would lose votes.
When you don’t vote, you essentially give your vote to the person you want the least; that’s fundamental to FPTP. It doesn’t matter if you don’t directly vote for Trump in the current political system, what matters is you didn’t vote for Biden.
You can try to change the voting system, but while you’re in it this is the way to play. Vote Biden in and protest the shit out of his day to day.
And I didn’t say I’m not voting. I’m voting for Biden.
I said Biden will lose votes if he starts a war with Iran. I did not say “Gee, I want another smug centrist to ignore what I’m saying and lecture me about shit I already know!”
I’d like to vote Bernie in the general. I’d like it better about 8 years ago.
He’s 8 years older than he was then. I think that’s part of why he doesn’t run. He wants the younger generation to take it up.
I really hope they do. The current set of democrats risk allowing the Republicans to get a solid foothold across demos that, normally, wouldn’t be as split.
