Get a Grip, Democrats. You Can Still Win This. Biden's not far behind, the economic conditions remain excellent, and a vile assassination attempt in July doesn't determine November's outcome.

    Assuming that is true; what’s your proposal to fix this now?

      Blame the left for everything. Swing so far right that we implement project 2025 before Trump even takes office. Win over all right wing voters. Biden wins again gg no re.

        I highly highly doubt Biden has another half decade of useful life left.

      We broke it, and now it’s your fault for not knowing how to fix it.

          Honestly. Someone with a clean record on genocides would be a good start.

            The undecided voters who need to be won are suburban boomers who like Israel. Sorry, we live in hell, thats how it is

              You don’t think some Muslim voters in Michigan are “undecided”? This naïve idea that politics is a 2D line and the only gettable votes are in the middle is a plague on modern politics.

                I think they’re severely outnumbered by said boomers, and just as fucked as my trans ass in the event of a republican win

            Great, that sounds like a winning plan. “We’ll just find someone”. Definitely will be stronger against Trump that way.

                Meanwhile with no alternative from the dnc your efforts only serve to support trump. Your progressive paradise will never be realized. It’s been stated to death but stop letting perfect stand in the way of good.

                That would be the FIRST step in the process, not the second. You get a parachute first, THEN jump out of the plane. Not the other way around.

            Well, go find a candidate. Then we can take the option seriously. Till then, you’re just shouting without helping.

              Any participation in the discussion helps. Otherwise we stagnate with 80 year old leadership and end up here again in 4 years.

                It wouldn’t surprise me if there isn’t an election in 2028 if Trump wins.

                  Which is why it is so essential we get it right. And the fact there’s even discussion about it means Biden’s the wrong guy for the job.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
