Biden is trying to lose
It is ironic that a party run by people who were middle aged in 1968 has seemingly no collective memory or knowledge of that convention or why you might try to avoid that if Trump is actually an existential threat.
Trump is to the Democrats as the Border is to Republicans, or as Hamas is to Bibi. A good boogeyman that secures your power without having to change anything.
Trump is their greatest tool, they can do nothing and point to him saying “You’ll get that if you don’t support us”.
They need him to be a threat and have a chance of winning for that to continue.
It’s incredible to me that the usual peepanists from readtheory.ml will say this and then when you respond “so you’re with me on deleting trump as hard as possible from political viability to take that tool away from the democrats” they will be like “no”
Being intractable on basically everything gives away they honestly don’t think he’s an existential threat, though. It’s a pretty big tell. If they honestly thought Trump was going to throw them in Gitmo next January, they’d be willing to give Netanyahu a sad or end the banking prohibition on state legal weed stores or any number of low-hanging fruit, easy wins they don’t take because they don’t want to give the hippies a win more than they actually care if Trump wins.
Bullshit.
I had a feeling this was one of yours before I even clicked.
Nice! What did you think of the article?
I thought it was another uninspired, malicious, and willfully deceptive tripe piece. Designed to divide the democratic vote as part of a larger attempt to narrow the margins between D and R. which all result in a benefit to gop when their mail-in ballot lawsuits, installed electors, state ballot candidate omissions, and “steal conspiracy 2.0” rhetoric ramps up.
Then you didn’t understand the article.
As much as I’d enjoy it, I don’t think it’ll be like Chicago in 68. First, people aren’t being drafted to go fight in Israel, so there’s not an existential threat to the people who would be protesting. Second, this isn’t a contested primary, and we didn’t have a popular anti-war candidate assassinated prior to the convention.
Hahaha. Zero chance.
You don’t know the difference between being 13 years into a direct war with drafted American soldiers dying frequently, vs the US supporting an ally who is taking military action?
I’m sure there will be a protest if things aren’t resolved by then but what a huge lack of historical knowledge it takes to make this claim.
