Isn't Trump is leading in 5/6 swing states in recent polls?

Please, join me in writing in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I don't even know what his politics are (I assume generic centrist feel-good crap) but god damnit we have to get these pro-wrestlers to start running for president. The country is fucked no matter what electoral outcomes, so why not have it at least be more novel?

Ladies and gentlemen, the president of America - President Camacho!

Terry Crews would be a better president than Trump/Biden probably

Hed be better on China, that's for sure

[-] nabana@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I'd vote in a heartbeat for a Cena/Crews or Crews/Cena ticket. Fuck it, the country is getting worse than that as it is, so...

Rasputin's mummified penis would be a better president than Trump/Biden

The rock seems like an asshole with a good PR team but I mostly base that on him being a whiny baby about Vin Diesel who seems kinda ok with a bad PR team, as well as crying about Dave Bautista daring to want more out of life than "Big angry dumb man used to wrestle but now same movie over and over".

John Cena seems like the best bet for us tbh. Filmed himself shopping in Chinese markets during the beginning of COVID to show "Wet markets" and the hysteria around them is literally just xenophobia for what we'd call a butcher or deli or fish market or whatever, and how it's nothing but harmful to whip ourselves up into frenzies over shit we don't understand.

That being said he also continued to put his foot on his mouth over and over again during that time by accidentally repeating silly shit or referring to Taiwan as a country, but also seemed genuine when apologizing and honest about it being a matter of him phrasing things indelicately or generalizing with terms that only made the situation worse for everyone. I dunno, this is all shit I'm pulling from several years ago memory and it seems like a fever dream. It's possible I just made it all up on the spot from delusions/dreams.

John Cena not being a hawk against China resulted in this gem:

Nah he would most likely still win today imo because Trump can't make a meaningful campaign that actualy attacks Biden from the left. The left can't really make an anti-NATO stance that doesn't boil down to real communism(good for movement building but you'll never win at electorialism lol) and anything from the right is just poisoning the well.

But the main point is yeah the left will always be blamed. I can empathize that Bernie was the millennial voters first experience with this but anyone that is old enough to be politically active for the past 8 years doesn't have an excuse to fall for this rhetoric anymore. If you're still giving any shits about what libs say or think and let that affect your own decisions then you are also part of the problem.

Biden will most likely not win. Trump might not even have to run a meaningful campaign, he just has to keep his support while watching Biden’s support slip.

I legit was even planning to vote for Biden in spite of everything just cause of Afghanistan. Yes yes yes I know all of the asterisks and caveats you can give and just take it as how low my standards are.

This shit though...no...not in good conscience. I'll vote but I'm writing someone in. Anyone. I wouldn't endorse Joe Biden, let alone vote for him.

[-] JayTwo@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Around when the rumor was that Biden was going to choose to not run again (lawlz) I figured he'd likely lose to Trump.
75/25 or so. But now?
The only way Trump isn't winning is if he either dies or is made legally ineligible for the presidency.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Didn't he promise not to run again at one point?

[-] RenownedBalloonThief@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nope, that was pure liberal coping from the beginning. "He's paving the way for new young leadership" was my favorite mantra they were chanting during 2020.
