    yes-honey-left “Groceries are squeezing my wallet and I don’t think my kids will be able to buy a home. What’s your plan for…”

    brandon Listen you stupid low information bastard. I just told you all of the Biden-Harris administrations greatest achievements. Why aren’t you paying attention? Israel is getting another $15 billion by the way. Thanks for your vote

    Does this genocidal asshole really not want to fuck off into the sunset? He wants to be the proverbial cowboy clutching the reigns of an exhausted horse for 4 more years?

    Really???

    He’s seriously not trying his absolute best not to throw this election to his bottom of the barrel competition?

    10% of me believes he would be so pissed if he won reelection and have to do another tiktok video about the Superbowl

      Seriously, if he stopped aid to Isreal right now he’d win the election by 10 points.

      He’s not frustrated about reelection he’s frustrated the strategy of “go fuck yourself also you have to vote for me, I will continue to do the opposite of what you want” isnt working as well as it dis the last 5 times they tried it.

        nah a lot of horrible ziolibs would not vote or vote for Trump if he actually did the right thing and stopped arming the Nazi-Zionists. you’re underestimating the mass of genuinely evil, genocidal sick bastards in the US.

          There are WAY fewer ziolibs than there are anti-zionists at this point. 80% of the Democratic Party wants a ceasefire, over 60% of them believe Israel is committing a genocide.

      I think he’s a vain and petty man who is clinging on to the goal he dreamed of for nearly half a century. He doesn’t care how many people he harms to keep a hold on the wish that the monkey’s paw gave him.

    Jen O’Malley Dillon, the campaign chairwoman, said Trump appears to have little interest in attracting voters beyond his most faithful base.

    “We know that he lost in 2020,” she said. “In order to win, he’s got to expand his base of voters to find new people to be with him. And that is not something he’s shown that he’s really focused on.”

    michael-laugh Sure, that’s the only way Trump can win…it’s certainly not like there was just a mass grassroots movement where 100,000s of people, who previously voted for Biden, took the time to vote for ‘anyone but Biden’

      Trumps strategy is to keep his base locked down while Biden actively pisses off his base every single day ensuring more and more of them don’t vote at all.

      No, you don’t understand, Trump is going to lose because he’s not expanding his base. That’s also why Biden is going to win, you see - because Biden’s done a 180 on many of his campaign planks from last time and he’s not expanding his base.

      Unfortunately, the only people who are capable of putting up with the crap it takes to become president are those who want the job to such a violently irrational degree that they will hold onto it regardless of the toll it takes. We need a farm upstate that we can convert to a fake DC and put these dinosaurs out to pasture so they can keep scheming and pretending to pass legislation till their bones fall out and then we need to implement a saner system for selecting leadership

      Also what does that look like, him picking the receiver on the phone up like he’s about to slam it then you hear “JOE… JOE!..” from stage left before he dejectedly sets it back down gently.

    Huh, so is he gonna stop funding genocide? Is he gonna end student loans? Let women get abortion healthcare at military bases? Stack the court? Stop giving military equipment to police? Give me $1200? Federally legalize pot and pardon all cannabis possession/distribution charges?

    He barely scraped by in 2020, and that was with people expecting steps towards free college, defunding the police, freeing the migrant concentration camps, and free healthcare. Since then he has only demotivated the base.

      it will be interminably funny to me that the democrats could literally have spent the entire last 4 years just pushing any single one of these issues through the House/Senate and gotten it passed & they would’ve swept 2024 without even having to worry about Trump. Like they could’ve just made Student Loan forgiveness threshold a lot lower (i.e. bring it down from 10 years of on-time payments or whatever it is currently at, to something more reasonable like 4 years or just…forgive all federal student loans for everyone who made less than $150k last tax year) and won by a landslide. They could’ve just done a little bit more than pardoning marijuana convictions - like if they’d spent the entire last year demanding the DEA reschedule it anytime someone from his cabinet was in front of a microphone, surely the DEA would’ve.

      But nah, too much effort and we HAVE to remember that the Democrats don’t control both chambers!!!

    Hey congrats that’s how we’ve felt as you enthusiastically jump on rakes in what appears to be an attempt to lose the easiest election since 2016.

    Old man screams at cloud because of his polling numbers.

    History suggests it will be tough for him to recover. Biden’s 38% approval rating at this stage in the calendar is lower than that of the last three presidents who went on to lose re-election: Trump (48%), George H.W. Bush (39%) and Jimmy Carter (43%), according to Gallup survey data.
