DIE OF COVID, WE DON'T CARE! WE FUCKING HATE YOU AND CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO PRETEND OTHERWISE wait why aren't you voting for us come back we need you at the polls trump bad"
Oh didn't get exactly what you wanted? well then- you should vote him anyways because Trump will do it to you but even worse. Don't agree? I will shame you!
They still haven't figured out how he got elected the first time.
He was a wizard and cast a spell on people living in trailer parks
Fucking everything is Russia now
Joe Biden's own actions? Russia.
Your favorite site taking ad money from ultra right wing lunatics? Russia.
That bump in the attic? Believe it or not, Russia.
You, me, and countless other posters have said this exact line. This would work as the only tag line on the home page.
Hillary ran a shit campaign, particularly in swing states, that was the primary reason.
Look just because you can't understand the 12 dimensional chess move of not visiting Wisconsin, doesn't mean it was a shit campaign. Or her sex pest advisor. Or not telling anybody but her competitive sycophants that she was feeling under the weather before her trip to the 911 memorial. Or the pied piper strategy. Or the being under federal investigation for months ahead of the election. Or, jeez this might go on for a while.
But, also the USA is shit and Trump is exactly the candidate it deserved. He played all the of the US's Favorite Hits and the media made sure he got plenty of coverage.
not visiting Wisconsin
Her campaign strategists had figured out that every time she visited an area, her poll numbers got worse, so this may have been the correct move. Plus, I wouldn't wish Hillary on Wisconsin -- they have enough to deal with as it is.
Still amazed that the Mook didn't accidentally find evidence that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
Or the pied piper strategy
love how the #1 reason i hate her and the dnc's guts is just nestled in there lol
Reminder that the Pied Piper memo came out before Trump announced and, iirc, Bill Clinton had spoke with Trump before then as well.
Id be interested in hearing more of this talk with Billy boy cuz that's news to me
They had a phone call in late may before he announced.

edit: it looks like the the call occurred in between the memo and the Trump's announcement.
it's okay, i dont think our opposition parties have figured out how and why orban keeps winning... this seems to be normal behavior
At this point I’m calling this a dedicated campaign on the part of Biden and the democrats to get Trump elected. If they were trying their best to get Trump to win it would look no different from what they’re currently doing so i have to assume that’s what they’re doing.
I almost put that as the last sentence of my comment
Democrats get elected after the most important election of our lives, with the mandate to end populist fascism and bring back the Obama years. Then they spend 3 years fucking up, then calling anyone who notices a dumb hick russian bot. Now it's a few months out and it's time for the most important election again.
It's how we always slide to the right. They never do shit, just hop from one gaff to another with a smug attitude.
Imagine being a Democrat right now.
Imagine being so unappealing that you lose to Trump
It's an embarrassment. But they (their donors) refuse to go left, so they'll lose. Simple.
They're not even pretending to pander like they usually do. There's no gestures at minimum wage increases, there's no promises about making homes more affordable or bringing down cost of living generally, who has even heard about healthcare reform since 2021?
We're dying young and poor and they're telling us to "be grateful for it, or else!" Or else what?! The largest orangest adult son will embarrass the bourgeoisie to their cultured European friends? Who gives a shit?! Couldn't triangulate a worse position if you tried.
Their platform is lecturing poor people on how it’s entitled and selfish to want a living wage
"No way to avoid this" says only party this consistently happens to
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as lol, the second time as lmao, even.
With the electoral college, Trump really only lost by ~80K total votes across four swing states and that's with Brandon winning the popular vote by 6M and historic voter turnout. All that to say that the country barely DIDN'T elect Trump last time so I'm not surprised that he has a shot this time.
iirc, it was even less than that. 43,000 across three states. arizona, georgia, and wisconsin. I think.
with a voter turnout % only surpassed by the one right before the civil war
God what fucking world are these people living in? The economy is good??? Inflation is solved??? My grocery and gas bills are still nearly double what they were before Biden took office so I’m going with “That’s a fucking lie”
Don't you see they have statistics on their side though!
I'm so tired of hearing "real wage growth has rebounded faster than ever before!"
Really? In what fucking jobs that working class people are working? You telling me grocery store workers are getting paid more? Or delivery drivers? Looking into the data I'm sure the growth is entirely driven by the top 40% of earners who don't love in anything close to the precarity that average working class folks do.
The only reason there is any gains at all is because unions are striking and just vaguely point at rent increases and grocery food prices and even company negotiators are forced to grant giant raises because public perception would annihilate them otherwise.
Claiming Biden caused any of this is ludicrous. He made the rich get richer and we have to fight tooth and nail for every cent we claw back from them. Fuck Biden he deserves to lose, and it's a shame Trump is the alternative, because the path forward is bad or worse.
Yeah your grocery bill may have doubled, but now it won't double again (for a while) - we solved your problem!
libs pointing to a graph that shows the rate of inflation went down from 9% to 4% per year
See? Things are getting cheaper so you can't even complain anymore
Meanwhile the average worker is looking at a 3% raise per year if they're lucky. Usually 0% or some fixed 25¢ amount.
Real wages went up because they went down slightly slower! Well, only if your inflation calculation ignored necessities like food, housing, and energy.
But yacht prices are at an all time low! Inflation is solved!
Yeah they act as if Biden himself magically invented inflation and Trump will magically fix it. Breaking news: that’s not how that works.
Uh breaking news when inflation happens people kick out the ones in power even if the ones they replace them with don't actually change anything.
Oh it doesn't work that way? Perhaps it would behoove them to stop pretending it does, then
When I'm in a being smug competition and my opponent is a reddit lib
Guy who says he will do something about the rapidly lowering working class quality of life is running against guy who says he will not do something about the rapidly lowering working class quality of life. Both are fascists with nearly identical beliefs
After barely winning because Trump killed 2 million people with shitty decisions he only pissed off labor activists, climate activists, people who care about immigration, Healthcare, abortion and genocide.
Surely the 4 people who don't care about any of that and also aren't already voting for Trump will be an effective coalition.
cause it's a stupid country full of assholes
Death to America
