Political Memes

I don't know a single person who's "blindly loyal" to Biden. Most people I know think he's overall pretty reasonable and certainly disagree with him on some things. I also know quite a few Trump voters, as I do live in Texas, and those people are beyond rationality at this point. Trying to have a conversation about an issue is utterly useless, because all they know how to do is restate whatever line they've been fed by whatever conservative media they watch.

My point is this tweet is absolutely bullshit

Stewart simply spoke the truth. Candidates are supposed to convince people to vote for them. That’s their job. Biden’s communications people hiding behind “He’s not Trump and is competent at the job” is a repeat of Hillary’s 2016 strategy, and the polling numbers actually supported that strategy in 2016. The reality was very different when the votes were counted.

Relying on that strategy in 2024 is playing Russian roulette with American democracy. Biden needs a better communications team. Ideally younger.

Where's the meltdown because I haven't heard a peep

The worst part of it for me was listening to Kamala Harris briefly speak about the President. She kind of stays in the shadows for the most part, but every time she emerges to speak, I feel as though she's politically disingenuous and borders on being Lois Griffin saying "NINE ELEVEN" for applause.

What the hell am I looking at in this image? Someone inventing reactions to what's literally just a network announcement? Why am I not being show the "meltdown"?

I feel in America that anyone labeling another "liberals" is telegraphing a lot of incoming bullshit and won't be worth the time after that.

I think it goes something like this:

• Dems are (rightly) scared to death of another Trump presidency.
• Therefore Dems feel they should do everything they can to avoid a Trump presidency.
• By trying to make everyone think the only realistic alternative (Biden) is not just better, but vastly better.
• And when they see criticism of Biden (especially from left-of-what-the-U.S.-considers-center), they start having visions of Trump in the Oval Office again and panicking.
• Fear leads to anger, anger to hate, hate to pretending Biden's perfect.
• Because if they admit Biden isn't perfect, the vast numbers (/s) of centrists who haven't decided who to vote for in the general election might vote for Trump.

It's the same logic as crypto "investors." Their favorite cryptocurrency only goes up and they only make money off of it if they portray it as perfect. And pretty soon they stop differentiating between what makes line go up and what is actually true entirely. (And they absolutely cannot under any circumstances admit to even the tiniest flaw or valid criticism of the coins they're invested in.)

It’s Biden or Bust, bud.

Victory or Death.
