Looking really bad for November

Joe Biden’s chances do not look good. The Democrats have no plan B

It is too late to hold a competitive primary to allow a better candidate to emerge

So weird to be watching this happen in slow motion

I mean first time around Dump had a certain wildcard appeal. I'm sure a lot of swing voters thought he talks a good game, maybe we need to try something different than the traditional politician... But now there is no doubt what he's going to be like. It's going to be an even more extreme version of the first term. Are swing voters really going to vote for more craziness?

Hmmmm.

He’s not a Democrat.

Exactly
Trump's base love him almost to the exclusion of all others.

Democrats have lost white working class voters. They are currently in the process of losing Hispanic and black voters.



Add that to the fact that almost no one of any stripe has any faith in the incumbent and you have a disaster brewing for November.

"Christian" in this instance seems to mean "aggrieved white person."

Bigots come in all different colours.

I had a (black) neighbour tell me he was glad i bought that house, and not one of those immigrants. I reminded him that I was an immigrant, and he said: you know what I mean, those immigrants.

He was one of those christo fascist types mentioned in the article.

I wonder when the Irish stopped being those immigrants. We certainly were considered those when I was working in the BMW factory in Munich in the summer of 1991

diese immigrants surely?

it's contextual.

He's talking about the indigenous central American people. He's saying I'm not one of those guys, therefore I'm not qualifying as an immigrant in his eyes. The word immigrant isn't really meaning immigrant at all in this context. It could be mapped onto undesirable new people doing menial jobs.

The irony is the native central american guys are less of an immigrant than an Irish guy, or you could argue a black American.

I guess if the Irish were still labouring in BMW factories today, they'd still be grouped in with that word. Just like we kinda glom eastern European laborers together in Ireland I guess.

Trumps definitely gonna be the next US Prez

Ramaswamy or Rama-smarmy has dropped out. Smug little prick.

I'm sure Dump will give him a job if he wins.
He kissed his anus plenty.

He barely won last time and Even more people are pissed off at him / stoped supporting him since so I doubt it.
But fuck if he does he’s going to start WW3

It took the pandemic and the crashing of the US economy for Biden to squeak past him

Now most everyone in the US either hates Biden or couldn't care less about him either way. Everyone thinks he's too old for the job right now, never mind 5 years from now.

Trump has all the momentum and no real opponent.

It's awful.
