For all the things related to the Biden/Harris Administration and their latest hits and misses

Interesting story, looks like 'only the best people' didn't stop with the new administration.

I stand by my statement, above is inane gibberish.....

Same. Your words reflect my feelings as well.

No we should not be scared. America will not let happen what you fear will happen. It can't happen here. We (the USA) have too many safeguards in place. This is not Russia or Libya. You are just being overly dramatic.
....and why would America re-elect Trump anyway?
They won't. He only has some support now because he is not running for anything. IF he was a declared candidate, all kinds of commercials would be broadcasted and many people would see his flaws and withdraw their support.
Save your typing/posting. We have a free press. A well established government with checks and balances. America has a large anti Trump populace who would take to the streets if he turned into a Castro/Stalin, etc.. Yet there will not be a need for that. No dictators from either party will ever be tolerated.
Yet who is going to be at the top of the Democratic ticket in Nov. of 2024?
Biden - Harris again? I don't want Trump vs Biden again. That would be such a mistake.
They both should be rejected by the voters and someone better should be the standard bearer of each party!

How old will Biden and Trump be in 2024?

On November 5, 2024, the next US presidential election will take place. On that date, Joe Biden will be 81 and Donald Trump will be 77.

Respectfully, this is some head-in-the-sand logic that would make even @wardorican cringe.

74 million people voted for Trump in 2020, including 94% of Republicans.

and more people voted for him the second time around, I think around 10 million more

 

[SteveSBrickNJ]

@zztop
That was then...this is now. Voter turnout was so high. Both candidates got huge numbers.
A lot has happened since then. Many who voted for Trump in Nov. of 2020 are not happy with his behavior since then.

Republican Voters Against Trump

It takes courage to speak out against your party. It takes courage to change your mind about Trump.

Hey....many who voted for Biden are not happy with him either.

Both senior gentleman should bow out gracefully and let someone better be our next president!

I don't think Biden will seek reelection. The only problem is the Democratic establishment is going to go with Harris.

Well you could be correct on both.
#1 Re. Biden, is that your gut feeling? ... or you are just being logical? Something else to share?
#2 I can't believe that IF Biden didn't run then VP Harris would win the nomination...even if the Democratic Establishment propped her up. I really think that is not likely.
Do you have a candidate that YOU would like to be the Democratic Nominee in Nov. of 2024?

It's sort of both my gut feeling and my logical view that he would be a terrible candidate. I posted this video in another thread but I agree with Bill Maher's take near the end of this video (starts around the 9:55 minute mark):



The Democrats have a brand problem. They've pandered too much to these far-left social issues which ruins their appeal to centrists and fuels the current anti-woke/culture war mess that the GOP has become. I'm not saying those issues aren't important or worthy of consideration, just that if you make it your defining brand then you are going to get killed in the elections.

As far as Harris, its possible... in fact... probable she would lose an open primary for the nomination. In all practicality, the DNC needs someone like Joe Manchin but he has little to no charisma (and he's also not particularly young at 74). Someone more ideal would be Arizona Senator Mark Kelly (but he needs to win reelection in 2022 first). In any event, they need to spend less time focusing on social issues (outside of a few core ones) and more time setting forth a narrative for America, perhaps one centered around higher wages, UBI (universal basic income), universal health care and/or going after insurance companies, etc. There are many left-of-center economic policies that are appealing to Trump voters, it's just that the social/culture war issues are more important to them.

But I think the DNC establishment will screw it up again just like they forced Hillary down everyone's throats when Bernie would have easily won Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania against Trump.

I really liked your post until you mentioned Bernie.
No ! No! Please don't mention Bernie.

Bernie lost the South fair and square. Dude is just DEET for minorities.

But Hillary lost the South in the general. While Bernie would have won in the important places where she didn't.

Which means that, as a strategy, giving a rip about the Deep South is a losing strategy for Dems.

It's like the GOP giving the nod to someone who wins the primary in NY and CA but loses the general in PA, FL and OH.

Saw this - she makes a great point about how the press makes things worse. They have allowed Trumpists to set the tone since the day he announced his candidacy and have never stopped:

 

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

Feel the Bern. I understand why some people have a negative reaction to Bernie's economic policies, but the reality is they are no more radical than many other western democracies that were cornering the market on capitalism long before the U.S. came into existence. At its core, Sanders' message is that there is more that unites lower income 'flyover' Americans and lower income urban Americans than divides them. After the 2016 election there were no shortage of Trump voters who said they would have voted for Bernie and they voted for Trump basically because he wasn't Hillary Clinton.

There is a reason why Trump has usually treated Bernie with kid gloves and said the DNC was unfair to Bernie -- he realizes a lot of his voters like some of what Bernie says.

On this Biden Tracker thread it seemed appropriate to say that the Biden administration has to at least take SOME responsibility for this...

Inflation hits 40-year high as CPI rises 8.6% in May

U.S. consumer prices accelerated in May to the highest since 1981, as Americans grapple with a surge in the cost of gas, food, and shelter, data showed Friday.

Never will they take any responsibility for anything they do. It is January 6th, Putin and Trump's fault. Pay attention. Everything is great. The economy is in a better place than it has been historically.

We need a facepalm emoji. Anyway, I've never completely blamed a President -- Republican or Democrat -- for economic issues that have a variety of root causes. It's too simplistic. That said, yes, Biden hasn't been too effectively at his response.

True, but our elected officials have a spending problem and printing money for stimulus after a global shut down of the economy caused by an over reaction to covid accelerated this soon to be depression.

I've been advocating for that for what seems like 2 years now lol. I think the closest we'll ever get is..

Disclosure: I stole this thread title from an old EE thread. Nobody goes to that board so we shall start a new one here. This doesn’t have to be political, I don’t think, if the mods will allow it. But we may start up a political discussion based on entries. I just saw this one today. I don’t...
