Every day Donald Trump says that the people who don't for him are his enemies. He says he wants to get retribution against other Americans. No President has ever expressed such hatred toward his fellow Americans. I want to be the President for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not.
Anyway, I'm just watching Biden's interview and am wishing he could make the case for himself in a way that could be heard by the 99% of his gettable voters who don't give a crap about Japan's budget or vague promises about the tax code.
"I'm on the phone with Prime Ministers of other countries every day" is not an answer to the age question that will make any sense to the people of Scranton, and if anyone should know that it would be Biden.
Vague statements about how America is the greatest country in the world combined with technocratic details (no matter how accurate and consequential for the lives of ordinary Americans) just aren't, IMO, the kind of messaging that's going to break through.
"I'm running against Trump because I think the ideas he stands for & the policies he advocates are bad for all Americans. Don't just take my word for it. Professional economists say Trump's policies will put us into a recession. No Fortune 100 CEOs are supporting him because he's bad for business."
"Trump has spent his whole life getting sued by contractors and banks because he can't even run his own businesses without ripping other people off. He's not allowed to even run a charity because he mismanaged it. We saw how he handled Covid. The guy's 99% reality TV and 1% action."
The Project 2025 plan would be comical if wasn't for that fact that they want to make systemic failures as likely as if you replaced the main supports of the GW Bridge with 'structural mayonaise'
You see a collapsed GW bridge that killed a couple thousand people. I see a golden opportunity for my friend to build a privatized toll bridge subsidized by tax breaks!
This has long been my (and not remotely original) thought - the Right intentionally or not has murdered satire and irony and this plays to their benefit.
