It's going to be a fun 4 months, I personally don't care what happens internally in America they get what they vote for, just annoyed Europe over relied on the states for security and fell asleep at the wheel meaning it's crucial for global security that the Dems win imo.

Not exactly how it works, the definition of fascism has changed a lot. Some of the serial bedwetters think everyone is a Nazi and a fascist if they don't agree with them.

Sure, but we can agree that someone that speaks and acts like a fascist, and advocates for fascist policies, is a fascist, though, can’t we?

My first Google hit… New York Magazine

“As I noted in an earlier Poll Position item on July 9, Harris’s job-approval rating has recently converged with Biden’s; as of July 18, hers was at 38.6 percent in the FiveThirtyEight averages compared to Biden’s 38.5, while her disapproval number (50.4 percent) was a notably lower than Biden’s (56.2 percent). Similarly, her favorability ratio at RealClearPolitics (38.2–52.3 percent) is slightly better than Biden’s 39.1–56.6 percent).

In head-to-head trial heats against Trump, Harris has also been running at or slightly above Biden in most national surveys. RealClearPolitics shows Trump with a 1.9 percent margin (48.2–46.3 percent) over Harris, as compared to a 3.0 margin (47.7–44.7 percent) over Biden.”

Now, fuck off Trumper!

Wait so... it's anti-democratic to back somebody on the basis they will... win more votes?

Errr...

They do know there's an election coming up, right? That's what this is about, maybe somebody should let them know?

They shot their load too early on Biden and made his position untenable, now they're worried as they didn't want him to drop out.

Indeed, just felt she should have took the reigns straight after the last election victory.

I do think this has been carefully planned though the last couple months- they’ve had to really prep her to be ready and left Biden hanging in there a little while till she’s up to scratch.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all.

This isn’t something that happens overnight.

Not only that, but apparently listening to your constituents (not just the wealthy backers or the political elites, but the rank-and-file that were increasingly polling as wanting Biden to step aside) and changing course, even as it is against your own benefit, is some how “anti-democratic”.

But, of course that is how the likes of Trump and Musk would spin it, as they see changing course based on outside feedback—and especially if doing so benefits others at the expense of yourself—as a sign of a feckless fool.

I like Buttigieg, he is very smart and a great speaker. But as you say unlikely. I also like Wes Moore, he's the next dem star i reckon, but again unlikely as i don't think the Dems would be brave enough!

For those, who don’t know, he is the governor of Maryland, and he was brilliant, after the bridge collapsed in Baltimore.

It depends how far your own politics lie to the right or left. Everyone is fair game to some of the more radical left fist pumpers and they IMHO need to be discounted just as much as the radical right.

For instance the lunatics in the BAMN organisation who are just downright cunts.

On here if you whisper the words "controlled immigration" you're marching on Poland by the weekend.
