The Tweet reads:
“President Biden doesn't believe his bad poll numbers, and neither do many of his closest advisers”
President Johnson, hearing chants of "hey, hey, LBJ— how many kids did you kill today?" and taking it as an expression of support and healthy interest in how the war is progressing
We at least have that picture of Johnson being genuinely depressed at how he was viewed.
This is, well, braindead.
If we're thinking of the same photo, I think it's LBJ listening to a tape his son sent back from Vietnam (IIRC his son was a pilot). At least that's the story.
Oh, I heard that too. I guess we are thinking the same one.
Blue MAGA doesn't believe the lying media or their fake poll numbers.
In ebil Soviet Russia, an ailing gerontocracy refuses to believe that the people do not like it despite hard evidence, leading them to continue ignoring the systematic issues destroying the country from within.
Couldn't be us.
the US executive is genuinely monarchist at this point, the emperor is running around with no clothes and none of his sycophantic courtiers dare break the illusion
it honestly makes more sense that the DNC and RNC believe in divine rights to rule with regards to primaries and religious thinking in the general
Fucking groupthink.
Soooo 1984, amirite, everyone?
It is not just Biden, not just the emperor but the entire court, its literally the entire Dem establishment, from Pelosi to Blinken and Hillary they all believe it. There is no secret opposition to Biden just hiding in the corner. At most you can point to the voters themselves but then its a matter of blue MAGA vs the uncommitted voters campaign for example.
it's a duopoly
Not even one advisor is playing devil's advocate here?
They're all the Devil's advocates!
Hey! That's exactly what Hillary said too.
History repeats itself!
First as farce, then again as farce
Wish you could skip them whenever they do happen.
Ad infinum!
He's so cooked.
His brain is certainly baked.
The numbers, folks. They’re fake. Completely fake numbers. The failing Marxist news media, the tiktok, they’re all fake, folks. They’re fake.
Fuck around and find out, I suppose.
Seems likely.
Libs love Orwell and still make excuses for this
I just heard a 1984 podcast ad on, well, a podcast.
Totally 1984!
anyway, when he loses it will be the fault of the damn extreme left (all 1000 of them) that biden lost and not his stupid, incompetent, entitled campaign that failed to mobilise the largest voting block in america: the non-voters
That's, err, fucking crazy, ngl
lol
rofl even
"rofl"
Now that's an acronym I've not heard in a long time....
A long time...
A/S/L? Nvm... Afk.
In communist China…
Wooo democracy! Trust the Science, Yeah!
We're liberals! We're not like those pesky evangelicals!
So I agree with you that this is stupid and Brandon is a dumbass, but polls have been terrible indicators since like 2012. The FTC breaking cell phone numbers by refusing to stop robo calls while the polling companies still rely on randoms answering unknown numbers is a fundamentally dumb way to collect a sample.
Fair point, and a serious comment in this, well, unforgiving thread lol
Honestly, I should consider that, at least.
Will we be entering a period where Democrats and Republicans just trade one-year terms for the rest of this miserable country’s existence?
believe science
Love me, I'm a liberal.
They know that at the end of the election cycle they are going to get an influx of centrists voting for the lesser evil.
Its a move I’m not sure will work for them.
Same.
Always play to your base, as the saying in politics goes...
