It kind of blows me away, but it looks like we're gonna get Cap'n Droolcup vs Sideshow Donny.

Because those are the only "viable" candidates. Wake the **** up.

Sideshow Donny is far more fun. Were you not entertained?

They can’t wake up. Both sides are in a trance unable to think.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

BOTH are too old to be president.

The limit should be like 70.

Trump got roasted but royalty over a botched tweet title. ONCE. But BIDEN? Here we go:

At 10:43 p.m. local time, the elderly president hit post on a short, baffling entry: “South Carerdddd.”

Looks like grampa nodded off

Gotta get on board with 5th party candidates.

who is she?

A random who-er.

Should have got on board with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. They were going to Trump the system before Trump came along. Only they were sincere.

But all the GOP and Corporate media had to do was trash them. Find something small like lying about being an indian. Or being under sniper fire in Kosovo. When your candidate is the king of all liars. But it really bothered you that Elizabeth Warren said she had some indian in her didn't it?

We had a good person who would have FDR'ed the rich. His name is Bernie Sanders. Instead you elected the rich. Makes no sense.

What States would Sanders have won that Clinton or Harris didn't?

What States would Sanders have won that Clinton or Harris didn't?

None. Because you guys are too stupid to support a good man like Bernie Sanders. The corporate media would never allow that. Shit they barely tolerate Trump but they have no choice.

The statement "Trump stole Bernie's working class story" is a common theme in recent political commentary and analysis, particularly in opinion pieces. Analysts suggest that Donald Trump effectively captured the rhetoric of economic anxiety and appealed to the working class in a way traditionally associated with Bernie Sanders and the Democratic party, while Sanders' core message struggled to reach those same voters in some instances.
They don't like Trump because Trump creates instability. Business can't plan when we have an irratic president like Trump slapping tariffs on everything willy nilly.

They don't like Bernie because he will be too good for the middle class and cut into profits. They don't like Trump but for other reasons.

• Both Trump and Sanders tapped into a widespread sense of economic anxiety and working-class rage, though their proposed solutions and identified culprits were vastly different.
• Trump's Rhetorical Shift: While a wealthy individual by background, Trump's campaign rhetoric focused heavily on issues like unfair trade deals, the decline of American manufacturing, and the sense that average people were being ignored by "corrupt" Washington politicians. This messaging resonated with a demographic that traditionally might have leaned Democrat.

You must be referring to a different Bernie Sanders.

No. What's interesting is that I recognize Trump stole Bernie Sanders Working class story and so did AI. But you don't get it. Maybe you're too much of a brainwashed right wing dumb ass?

I remember in 2016 Trump saying he would raise taxes on rich people like him. Sounded very much like Bernie.

Trump says we sent working class jobs overseas. How many times has Bernie said that?

But this is perhaps the most vital thing to understand about Sanders’s approach. Human beings need stories. Stories, to be compelling—to anyone, but especially to people who are unhappyz—need villains. Trump has a story that features clear villains; like every fascist and rightwing authoritarian before him, he directs, channels, and amplifies voters’ anger towards groups that are easy to scapegoat, like immigrants and transgender people, as well as institutions that they feel have failed them, like the elites of both the Democratic and Republican parties. It’s simple, it’s visceral, and it works. Or at least, it works in a vacuum, when unhappy voters are not offered any other story about why their lives are harder, less secure, or more painful than they should be.

There’s no doubt that Biden’s outlook on matters of labor and industrial policy was a massive improvement on the Obama years. But Biden’s term also saw the end of Covid-era expansions of the child tax credit, Medicaid, and unemployment insurance, the reappointment of an austerity-focused Federal Reserve chairman, and a failure to take decisive action as corporations raised the cost of groceries, rent, and other basic goods. Perhaps most importantly, as Biden faded from view as the consequences of his advanced age grew more prominent, he ceased to be an effective storyteller for his own ideas. Trump, for all of his own cognitive lapses, tirelessly kept at one thing: He made working-class people central to his message, not an afterthought. He successfully revived the idea that he could break the corrupt wheel of elite politics. And he outworked Harris in telling a story that made working people feel important.

Of course he was lying
