    Biden has to be trying to lose at this point right?

    I unironically think dem leaderships want to lose the presidency to Trump while gaining a majority in congress at this point.

      That would be perfect for them.

      TRUMP WAS REELECTED. IMPORTANT EMAIL YOU MUST READ!

      Restoring Roe? Look, we had a plan but you idiots didn't vote hard enough and we can't do it.

      Doing anything positive about anything? Elections have consequences. Everything good in congress is already DOA because you idiots made TFG president again.

      Do not forget that there's also the Republican justice "veto".

      Sorry not-sorry but we must lurch to right so we can reach out to the all-important "won't vote for us anyway" demographic.

      You stopped a kind, decent man from being president for a second term. You even made him cry. Are you proud of yourselves?

      By the way - we're going to continue to be highly active on our Restoring Roe plans. Restoring Roe is an important tool in our campaigning and fundraising arsenal quiver.

      They might actually win the mythical moderate conservative vote. And all it took was abandoning all its nominal values because the tiktok iPad teens wouldn’t get on board with genocide

        The moderate conservative was their target in the last cycle, too. And this will be a lot more convincing to them than anything he did last campaign season.

      They're going to make the protesters felons to strip their vote. The libs will then blame the protesters for getting arrested and thus not voting Biden. Which is a vote for trump, which means they're trump voters. Which means they deserve it.

      Obviously

        They could just say that Israel has gone too far “in recent weeks” (blatant lie, they’ve been going too far for decades now), and then stop sending money to them. This particular brand of ghoulishness is not even remotely necessary to have popular support

      Trump was pres during BLM, so it should be pretty easy for voters to compare and contrast their responses.

      Unfortunately, I think that most US voters are probably in favor of a quick crackdown and doing so could actually earn Biden swing votes. :(

      I saw a MSM article about how Biden was disappointed in the recent wave of “antisemitic protests”.

      How does the Dem establishment constantly take two steps backwards for every step forwards.

      It’s so fucking easy to win popular support. They’re not even pretending to care anymore, at least they used to lie about things and act another way. They’ve gone fully mask off.

        Because they can't. To admit israel is doing a genocide is to admit that they have been aiding/doing a genocide. I wonder how much is literally self-preservation at a certain point

      Biden and Trump are the only presidents that I can remember who have explicitly said they wish to kill women, children, and/or the families of “terrorists” in defense of freedom. With Biden, his maskless remarks made the Israeli PM shocked and made him distance from Biden since Israel doesn’t the image of a savage

            I just heard on a radio station trivia contest that May is the only month that has not featured a US President dying. I’m not saying I’m wishing for anything, but they may have jinxed the betting odds by using that question today. Trump would definitely defeat Biden, but a mystery candidate could pretend to be more moderate for a short time.

        I don't condone gambling but...

        https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/7456/Who-will-win-the-2024-US-presidential-election

        According to this WSJ article, you'll make like $800 if you bet $850 (the max) on Trump winning atm; since Biden is at $0.51/share and Trump is at $0.47/share. You get a dollar per share if your bet wins. Their fees are like 15% (10% commission and a 5% withdrawal fee) though.

        There's also Iowa's Electronic Markets which also do election betting: https://iem.uiowa.edu/iem/

        The aforementioned WSJ article has a bit more information on both: https://archive.is/eHAEk

        don't quote me on any of this because I historically lose like $100 on blackjack everytime I'm in a casino and wind up morosely drinking watered down gin sours for the rest of the night at the penny slots while my friends go 'just go back and gamble a bit more you were literally at a $5.00 buy in table & can lose more than $100.00' lmao

      Biden basically signs the checks of some of the pro-Genocide mob attackers. A few at different campuses have been identified as serving in the IOF. And then of course there's the cops.
