Yay, Biden isn't at risk of losing your vote. Unfortunately, this isn't at all remarkable. He is, however, at risk of losing independents who are/were leaning towards him.
This isn't a big deal in places like Indiana or Maryland, but it's a huge fucking deal in the handful of battleground states where the undecided voters will decide it for all of us.
The Vote Blue No Matter Who strategy is literally the dumbest shit and a losing one. It only targets people who are considering a protest vote, and not people who are genuinely trying to figure out who to vote for. It assumes that everyone sees the situation as clearly as you do, and that the only thing preventing a victory is if enough people don't "fall in line".
I will always maintain that blaming the electorate in an election for getting a bad result is like saying that the fans lost the ball game.
The only thing I will say for "blue no matter who" is that the alternative - threatening to withold your vote - only works if the campaign is aftaid of losing. They aren't. They clearly don't care. They don't want to govern, they want to present only a token resistance to encroaching fascism and corporate domination.
The benefit of voting the nominally-left-of-extreme-right party in is that it forces them to disappoint their base and that radicalises those people against US empire. Letting Trump win won't accelerate that process, it will just force people to radicalise in an atmosphere of extreme oppression.
What's wrong with Trump, again? Cheap groceries? Cheap gas? How terrible!
Assuming this isn't an attempt at trolling, Trump ran up the deficit nearly double that of Biden. Given that the argument is generally government spending leads to inflation, how exactly would that not indicate who is more responsible for inflationary costs?
Have you seen what the supreme Court justices that he appointed have been doing?
They make a big stink about old supreme courts overreaching, but seem to go out of their way to grab power for themselves and their buddies 🤔
Are you talking about the Chevron decision?
That and snyder.
And of course, no conflict of interest there at all
Lol.
Have you read Trump's plan for his next turn? The fucker wants to go through with hefty important taxes on EVERYTHING (that's essentially putting sanctions on the US lol). Cheap groceries aren't a good prediction for a Trump term. I'd suggest listening to what he's saying. There's more that makes me think that cheap things aren't around the corner, the fucker has many things he wants to spend for, without any plans for increasing the budget.
Trump is a liar, moron, idiot who can only appoint corrupt corporate stooges? His "NAFTA renegotiation" was a boondogle. He's stupid enough to think a 100 billion dollar wall will keep people with 30 dollar ladders from crossing one of the largest borders in the world. But hey at least contractors will get paid.
Not enough? The current out of control housing prices are almost certainly the result of the trump tax cuts for the rich leading to investment firms like vanguard becoming bloated extra money and buying up housing.
His completely corrupt supreme court picks are dismantling laws that prevent chemical and oil companies as well as heir clients from poisoning the public by dumping chemicals in rivers'
Trump was an unmitigated disaster of a president. He is responsible for something like 3 trillion in debt increases that went almost solely to corporations. A vote for trump is simply a vote install a moron actor who played a business man for president so he can let international corporations strip this country for spare parts.
