He’s guaranteed to lose now. I can’t see a universe where the mental gymnastics add up to deciding that this is a good idea. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be funny as hell. But I’m really not looking forward to the idea of more Trump.
Jill Biden’s in the most recent edition of Vogue talking about how much she likes the trappings of power, such as motorcades: https://x.com/pashedmotatos/status/1807768639824695362
the dems are cooked, the lich king and his queen aren’t stepping down from the sickest rank and power they’ve ever experienced, the VP was dogshit in comparison and they’re gonna do whatever they can to ride the motorcade into the sunset
Is Jill Biden actually saying that because I can’t be bothered to read this entire article, but the author is the one writing about motorcades in the opening paragraph. It’s not a quote or anything
Edit: that twitter account seems incredibly right wing and probably is trying to make that article seem worse than it is. I understand the desire to dislike Biden, but this seems like misinformation
It’s the most beneficial for the DNC. They raise more money under Trump as a “resistance party” without appearing like they are intentionally tanking their chances. If they win, they can continue to generally do nothing and let the bourgeoisie have their way, if they lose, they can fundraise better than before and run a “better” candidate next time, ie an Obama-type.
Putting someone new as the frontrunner introduces too many variables for the DNC. They should do it, but they likely won’t.
The GOP is the “natural governing party” of the US, and dems are married to the idea of being perpetual underdogs.
Even from a liberal electoralist standpoint, this is bizarre. The Conservatives under Pierre Pollievre is set to win in Canada, but you know damn well that they aren’t going to act like the Liberal Party is an all powerful force, even though they have a parliamentary system and a strong enough opposition can block some stuff.
The whole “family members as advisors” thing is really making me want to watch the biden admin arrested development spinoff
“Hunter convicted? Thank God he isn’t on the ballot, I’d never vote for him!”
I love it when a snarky neolib gets put in their place lol.
“Gavin Newsom has a better chance of being supreme leader of the New California Imperium than President of the United States”
they don’t care. they can see it coming and anyone with the power to force him to step down is okay with that.
