This is I think one of the actually more important things AOC shared last night that will probably get overlooked. Her own polling showed something v different than what the results in the primary ended up being (she did better than in 2020). How many other Ds are being led around by shoddy polling?
AOC: "I'm going to tell you. This year. This year. I had a primary election. My own polling, private polling, had me underperforming by double digits"
"I don't know what that means. I'm not going to say that's every race."
Your reminder that the "dump Biden" campaign was engineered by rich center-right Democrats who don't like how liberal he is.
He might not be as liberal as you like, but he's the best we're going to get.
(Trump is shot by AR-15)
Republicans: Let’s wear fake ear bandages to show how much we love Trump.
(countless schoolchildren are shot and killed by AR-15s)
Republicans: Let’s wear AR-15 pins to show how much we love AR-15s.
Here's the thing. The Squad and Bernie and all of this site's darlings who are all solidly progressive and leftist unless you insist on judging them by the standards of the CCP's Central Committee are behind Biden. Against him are the fatcats and neoliberals.
Joe Biden isn’t just running against Trump.
He’s also running against Putin, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Rupert Murdoch, Harlan Crow, the mainstream media, & spineless milquetoast fair weather Democrats.
You know what?
It will make his victory even more delicious.
There are so many influential Democrats right now who are spending the months before the election not attacking Trump but trying to plant media stories that destroy the Democratic incumbent

Dude was ok with gallows being erected to hang his own vice president and we’re supposed to take the high road here? I’m good. Make your jokes, internet.

Hey wow as someone with a stutter y’all are not kind
At all
Do you know what happens when you have the kind of stutter where you swap words? Your brain makes an association in a split second and you go “no, not that”, especially when nervous, and it just blorts out of your mouth.
