Problem is anyone with any capacity to hear this has been listening since 2016, and everyone else is… well deaf doesn’t really cover it. Is there a condition where your ears grow inside out and become megaphones that blare circus music?
Pretty sure you can see that in the animated parts of Monty Python
The butt trumpets are a more accurate analogy, too.
He has been signaling for years now and all of a sudden you think people will listen and take action??
No. Of course not.
We are going to let happen whatever happens and then pretend like there were no warning signs.
“How could we have known?” – clueless people.
They. Don’t. Care.
Republicans have become a fascist cult.
They literally tried to overthrow our democracy.
It’s insane that we’re treating them as anything less than a modern Nazi party.
Is it just me? I feel like I could hear him better if he were, you know, in jail.
Is there a way to filter out posts that have the word Trump or Biden in it?
I just want to hear about other candidates for the primaries in hope people actually reconsider who to vote for in US primaries.
The Republican primary is currently Trumpism repackaged, for every viable candidate.
There will not be a Democrat primary.
No fucking shit.
I think Trump is in no matter what for the repubs. But the democrats man, like come on. They’re treating this as if Biden already won the primaries. He isn’t popular at all in the Democrat base. Give me someone to root for.
He’s the corporate dem tho so we won’t see media following anyone else.
There literally will not be a serious challenger in the Dem primary, if one is even held (which I doubt).
Historically, that is the fastest way to lose an election as an incumbent. Will not happen
… if one is even held (which I doubt).
They’re not going to cancel the primary.
I doubt any contender will remain into an actual vote. There’s no point, unless they’re just grifting for the money, in which case it ends after the first primary round (same difference) when they have no path to victory.
There will certainly be no debates or real campaigning. Both “challengers” are well-known grifters.
That statement posits an entirely different scenario, where the Democratic primary is held as normal, with a prediction about its process and outcome (a prediction I mostly agree with).
I stand by my earlier statement. There will be a Democratic primary vote in every state. There will be challengers on those primary ballots, even if they are minor players or only locally known. The optics of not having one, even if the results of the national Democratic primary are obvious, would be ridiculously bad, and the Republicans and their candidate would latch on to that and call it “fascism.”

That’s not true. There’s a RFK Jr., who the press is paying attention to because he’s to the right of Biden and also a crazy anti-Semitic antivaxxer.
And there’s also breathless speculation about nature’s perfect centrist democrat Joe Manchin running.
I wonder when the last time a progressive primaried a sitting president was.
I wonder if RFK Jr. knows how unsuited to the job he is because I have yet to see a reason that makes sense for him running.
If a younger version of Bernie started running I would volunteer for their campaign right now.
Don’t worry, the GOP will bankroll a Green Party candidate you’ll vote for.
I think it’s not great that a cynical comment is definitely a voice of reason in these times. Eggscellent point.
Biden’s approval rating with democrats is about the same as Obama’s was in 2011. All holding a primary would do is weaken their position in the general election. I can’t tell if this is a deliberate propaganda campaign or people are actually this clueless and think incumbent presidents regularly compete in primaries.

Honestly I think it’s both. This type of talking point is easy to sell to the people who whine about The Establishment without putting in a modicum of effort to understand why things are that way
The Dems just pick their candidate.
They are not tied to the primary results at all.
