I understand that you and others like you have no alternative but to cling to Biden and continue portraying/pitching him as being something/someone that he's obviously not and already proved to be incapable of becoming at this point. Is America buying it so to speak? I don't think America is buying it. I haven't seen any signs of it so far. Guess what, you (and the others) are exactly where I told you that you (and the others) and Biden would be two years ago. Now, you and the others can go back to patting each other on the back, telling each other how smart you all are and continue ignoring the obvious signs that most Americans can see clearly.(09-07-2022, 11:16 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(09-06-2022, 05:10 AM)David Horn Wrote:If scaring the bejesus out of people doesn't work forever and causes more problems than it cures then maybe you guys should stop doing it as much as you guys have been doing it. Like I said, I know all of you guys pretty well and you've got a pretty good idea about me and how nasty it would be to seriously tangle with me or anyone like me in real life. You want to know what that senile dumb fucker that you and everyone like you elected did, he moved us one step closer to millions of Americans having the right to kill your dumb asses and essentially destroying/removing your guys' primary means of survival these days. Ever wondered what you would do if/when big blue government financially imploded like the Soviet Union, would you be able to survive without it at this point? Scary huh, best you ignore and continue to go along with all the stupid shit *fascist looking shit, communist looking shit, quasi socialist shit" associated with today's left and the Democratic party of today. I'll see you again next month and see if any of you have wised up/ pulled your head out of your butt yet.(09-04-2022, 03:44 PM)JasonBlack Wrote: If it's so difficult to get even your own side to rally behind him, how are you ever going to convince conservatives and libertarians, who have no reason to trust his track record either politically or personally, to do the same?
It shows the difference the two parties have embraced: appeals to the very worst versus appelas to our intellect and sense of <insert the platitude of the day>. Scaring the bejesus out of people works really well at arousing passions, but it creates many more problems than is cures (if it cures any at all). The more reasoned approach puts even the interested to sleep in short order, though it pushes us toward real though boring solutiins. And its' not uniques to the USA. Look at Liz Truss the new UK Prime Minister for a picturebook ideal of the scare 'em model.
I wish it was otherwise.
Again, don't bother.
It seems though that Biden's popularity has been rebounding a bit, and that the more-intelligent voters (that excludes you, of course) can separate their doubts about him from their opposition to a Party in Congress that advocates violent and subversive attacks on democracy, attacks on women, and the enabling of mass shootings, climate change and massive inequality and middle class decline. Right now the generic polls show Democrats leading by a point for the midterm congressional election. They'll have to do better than that to overcome the gerrymandering that your disgraceful, evil Party has set up, but the trend is clear. Democrats can win these midterms.
