I thought it was just his normal guy vibe without the shooting glasses. Pretty sure the hand in the pocket is common and I haven’t heard anything about a hilarious back story.

Harris has already been performing better than Biden in polls vs Trump. Other alternatives have been performing similarly to Biden, but that’s without considering that they don’t all have the name recognition of being the current president and the likely nominee. If the party rallies behind any of those candidates those polls will reflect that change. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/
If you remember to open your eyes when you read this please don’t fixate on the outliers and try to look at the trends.
I simply don’t understand this reply.
Biden looks like a losing candidate. Wouldn’t both the moral and strategic answer be to run somebody who can beat Trump? Stopping the Christofacists from getting even more power seems both strategically and morally good.
Stopping that is important so why should the Democratic party not run the candidate most likely to win? If you think Joe Biden is the most likely to win Democratic candidate then I’d argue your misinformed or willfully ignorant.
Its unbelievable that you think the problem is not Biden or the Democratic Party’s flaws, but talking about their flaws.
Republican voters are happy with their nominee. While the Democratic party has its die hard fans many people vote for them as damage control. Many people can not be bothered to vote because they don’t feel like either party represents them. Wheeling out somebody with a sub 40% approval rating and abysmal polling isn’t going to increase voter turnout.
My argument is not that Trump is a better option than Biden. My critique is that running Biden shows an increased likelihood of a Trump presidency when looking at polling data. Keeping Biden in is a losing play and no amount of covering your ears when polls are brought up will change that. So, eat me.
Republican voters do not give a single fuck.
There are plenty of people who will vote for the democratic nominee even if it’s Biden, but if his performance reduces voter turnout then we get Trump. You overestimate the political literacy of the average person. A lot of people are burnt out or apathetic. You should want somebody who will beat Trump. Why are people hellbent on sticking with the candidate that has a poor approval rating and is polling poorly?
Did you expect Trump to hype up his political opponent?
After reading I now appreciate David Gerard’s dedication.
I literally just threw up. I feel better now though.
It was meant to be a self depreciating joke, but now I can’t help myself. I think this topic ends up having everybody involved make a bunch of assumptions about each other before it begins.
However, I have experienced people say that they, “don’t want to get political,” right after being confronted for saying something misinformed, hurtful, etc. It can be weaponized as an excuse to avoid self reflection.
I know that isn’t the case for everybody, but I have seen, “don’t make things political,” used as, “don’t bring in politics at odds with my own.” It’s often not even recognized by that person as being hypocritical. Sometimes our own politics can become the default in our mind and everybody else’s view is the “political” one.
Your apathy is part of the problem.
Yes, I am that friend/relative.
That’s the joke.
