I like Joe. He did infrastructure and the chips act. He's a meat and potatoes guy. But his best attribute will always be not being Donald Trump.
I don't like Joe. I'm still voting for him because he's not Donald Trump
Fun fact: 10% of Americans will vote for a guy that had his brain eaten by a worm. Just look at five thirty eight
Everyone that made 538 worth reading was laid off. Even Nate Silver is gone, and he took his model with him. We'll see how they do this election, but I'm not paying attention to them this election.
Is that true that they do not continue to use Nate Silver's mathematical model?
Nate owns the model, not 538. I hope they're not using it.
Well there is the convicted felon, rapist and wannabe dictatorial psychopath, there is the guy with the dead brainworms in his head, and there is the guy who you can vote for if you would like things to continue as they are.
Oh, you can also choose between reluctant and enthusiastic support of genocide, and breaking up strikes versus shooting at protestors. Clearly the US is the citadel of democracy.
He also didn’t cause inflation or invade hamas or start a war in Afghanistan or any of the other things he was blamed for.
Now that you mention it, both of the last two Republican presidents signed off on huge bailouts and then blamed the inflation on their Democrat successor. Nixon would be proud!
Yeah that's what gets me about the news always acting like the economy would be better under trump somehow. It's his poor response to the pandemic that caused this whole situation we are in. It's bullshit. The prices started going up during COVID. I remember. People were hoarding toilet paper and we couldn't leave our homes without masks. Suddenly lumber prices skyrocketed from all the home projects people were doing while they were home. Then the price over other stuff started to go up randomly. I remember there were tariffs set on things from China too.
Then Biden took over and things slowly got back to normal but the prices are still high. If we get trump again things will get much worse again.
What's funniest to me is seeing all these posts having downvotes.
Conservatives mad and their tears are delicious.
Schadenfreude has never felt so good.
Or they read it as throwing shade on Biden for being nothing but "Not trump"
Which would be fair. The shade for running on being the least bad option twice, not the downvotes.
One is a convicted felon, 34 times over, and there is more on the way. The other has never been suspected of any criminal act.

So many idiots can't figure out who's really rigging the game against them, even when it's staring them in the face, blasting them with racist and fascist language and actions, with the breath of chronic bad health habits and the smell of soiled diaper.
Funny how the republicans did their best to start investigations and all they came up with is that his crack head son was bad, which everybody already knew. Good thing I’m not voting for hunter biden.
I'd vote for Hunter Biden if he was running against Trump. Sure he'd be a terrible President, but still better than Trump.
I'd vote for a pile of shit if it was running against Trump
I’d vote for a pile of shit if it was running against Trump
The pile of shit does have a better foreign policy than Trump's.
Don't forget found liable for rape too. Imo worse than his felony charges.
It'll probably get commuted to 1 civil penalty with a $3.50 fine as soon as people stop paying attention.
I'd vote for a convicted felon. Fuck, I almost was one.
Now, a pedophilic misogynistic cheeto? Nah, I'll take the sleepy dude.
This is why memes such as this are shitty. It throws convicted felons into the pile of just "bad people" and doesn't think anything of it.
Agreed. Nuance and meme rarely play well together though, so my expectations don't have me up in arms over it.
That kind of crap is how conservatives see people (in my experience), so it’s a little bit funny to see that reasoning turned against their ridiculous hero.
I like presidents who aren't convicted felons.
I like presidents who aren't corrupt octogenarians.
Yeah. Obviously if a candidate is a criminal that should invalidate them in the eyes of any sane voter, but really the bar should be a lot higher for anyone to be happy with their choice. The real motivation shouldn't be to vote for the lesser of 2 evils and call it good enough, it should be to literally fight back against corruption until we have options we actually like. Obviously it's too late for that in this election, but we should already be getting started in the fights to get someone worthwhile in the 2028 elections.
Please explain to a non American, why a convicted felon not in federal prison but instead running for president?
I dont know, I'm Aussie, my politicians jack off on their colleagues work desks.
Orange man is litteraly a russian asset and it should be enough to jail him…
But to answer on a theorical level you cannot prevent felons from politic in a democratic society, otherwise you just throw accusations at your opponent to win elections and sadly it happen in a lot of places
That's a pretty low bar...
Be thankful we have a bar and pray that I don't remove it altogether. (/J)
Give Americans a couple of more terms and someone will run like that but without sarcasm.
Good enough for me.
Very low bar to clear. Wish we had higher standards for presidential candidates.
On one side I have an old catholic bum who overall doesn't do much on the other I have a convicted felon who wishes to remove my human rights and wants to turn the country into a dictatorship.
As a centrist, I'm undecided...
