Anyone with an IQ above 2 realize that swapping candidates now is a 100% guarantees loss
The people who promote this idea are either massive dumbasses or alt right trolls
Anyone with a pulse realizes that not switching candidates now is a 100% guaranteed loss.
Maybe people realize that Biden losing support from his own pool of voters and Trump gaining support from his own pool of voters means we will see a repeat of 2016 at this rate, with Biden winning the popular vote and Trump winning the electoral college.
i disagree with this, but will not get into it here. the main point is that she barely has any pull in the party and the party hates her to begin with. not only would AOC saying he should step down not accomplish anything but it would more likely backfire. it's stupid to expect her to publicly ask for the presumptive candidate to fuck off. she barely endorsed biden in the first place; there are limits to what she can do and still remain effective.
Since when has the party hated her? Never heard, or felt this ever.
are you kidding? the squad keeps getting thrown under the bus by democrats at every turn. the party would rather have lose the presidency than have someone like AOC (or Bernie) as president.
i say would, but should have said did. they did choose to lose the presidency than let someone like them win. that's what they did in 2016.
That's not fair. There are plenty of honest communists who are paid by Putin.
Biden loses to like every other candidate in recent polls. It might be time to get out of the Blue MAGA echo chamber if you genuinely still think your previous comment is real.
Blue maga makes no sense, that slogan has literally always been a Republican thing trump famously stealing it from Reagan who stole it from another who u can't remember the name of at the moment.
We're now getting headlines like
Both parties are competing to be the biggest cult. The Democrats have fully embraced Trumpian rethortic.
They're literally endorsing Genocide dude. Any party endorsing Genocide is a death cult and the Democrats are most definitely a death cult as well.
That's not the argument I'm making. Sure there's propaganda but maga is and always will right wing.
MAGA is a synonym for cult like behavior where the leader makes up absurd lie after lie and nobody questions it.
It does not have to be right wing, however as is becoming more and more obvious the Democrats are not left wingers.
Joe Biden goes on his CNN debate with Trump and says we "need abortion because illegal immigrants are raping women". It's becoming a competition which person can MAGA the hardest. Nobody can look at those debate statements without prior knowledge and conclude the Democrats are left wing.
No it's an acronym, you could alter it's meaning but simply saying blue maga doesn't make sense as the Democratic position is not and never has been that America is now or has ever been less than great. Ie. We have fallen and the only way to get back up is the r ticket.
It's always been America had it's problems but we can and are always making changes and working towards a better future together. Ie. Not perfect, bit actively trying for perfection and the only way to get there is together.
It's an acronym that is used in a different way than what Trump intended it for. As an insult to cult like behavior.
Supporting literal Genocide is rather far from perfection. Genocide Joe is not the way to any perfection except the KKK kind.
That's not how acronyms work. If used improperly by an idiot it still means the same, though we can imply what we want from it.
You're literally mouthing marketing bullshit and expecting people who see no nuance to see your nuance. It's weird dude.
Wait what do you even think MAGA means
More importantly what do you believe it means. I know what it means because it's literally marketing shit from 1978.
Nobody is referring to Reagan when they say MAGA.
Aside from trump and his team who stole it from Reagan so Reagan fans would go "ooo he's so Reagan-esk" which worked and bought their vote.
Agreed that intelligent people do not see it that way yet Trump hand tend not to be terribly intelligent.
Similarly no one is referring to the Democratic party when they say maga, no one aside from you I suppose.
MAGA refers to Trump. Blue MAGA referers to establishment Democrats.
When liberals have no argument all they can do is try to win on semantics and hope nobody notices their double standards.
That opinion piece that is both self referential and admits to the absurdity of using maga to refer to hyper partisanship since that already has a well defined term... Hyper partisanship.
It sounds like hyper partisanship, no need to code shit in stupid ways call it what it is.
Then by all means pick another candidate lmao
Democrats: according to polls, hilarious clinton will win with a landslide victory never heard of in the history of the world.
Also democrats: according to polls, we stand a better chance if we change candidates close to the election.
By all means, keep it up, do the dumbest things, it's what Americans are known for anyway. Can't wait for the easiest Trump victory ever since y'all seem keen on shooting yourselves in the foot. It'll be hilarious.
Clinton was losing in the polls. The DNC forced Bernie out because their megadonors didn't like him.
