brandon Listen Jack, thanks to the American Rescue Plan, 2 of the 55 collapsing bridges in your state will be repaired by 2039, and a new solar panel farm that covers 1.15% of Stateslahoma energy consumption will be online by 2035

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

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 60 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 51 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Honestly a bit surprising that the incompetence, maliciousness, and general apathy we're seeing out of him is NOT him actively trying to lose but is, in fact, him trying

lol

lmao even

[–] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 72 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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'

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 54 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 51 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

They'll just replace him with a prettier face and keep doing the same shit. I say he should stay the course and take the entire Democratic Party down with him. Biden is doing more to drive people to the left because they're rightly disgusted with him and the Dems. He can't retire until he's handed himself over to the ICJ to stand trial anyway. That's part of his job as genocidal leader.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 48 points 8 months ago (6 children)

Replace him with who?

Dems have been so singularly focused on keeping any body left of Clinton away from power their alternatives are "Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a black women", "Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a gay guy", or "Joe bidens policies but from an insufferable nerd"

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Idk they always find some ghoul. Hilldawg would be the funniest, but AOC has tacked rightward enough while maintaining "progressive" cover that they could maybe use her effectively.

gavin newsom is their only other plausibly-nationally-viable candidate at this point

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gavin newscum? I don't even know how he looks and I'm already falling asleep.

They'll probably try AOC or anyone else from "the squad"

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

Picture a Mitt Romney clone that they didn't leave in the vat long enough.

The same shit

Generally yeah, but Joe Biden is the high watermark for Democratic support of the Israeli regime. Even his own fucking VP is leaking basically "oh oh I never wanted this, this is Biden's war" because she desperately wants to be the president and knows the way the winds have already turned. There is no chance for a pro-genocide 2028 candidate.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

cheems We can pull him left!

biden-troll I can push you left!

[–] arymandias@hexbear.net 65 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Literally the only positive thing in the world is that Biden is actively suffering. Doesn’t compensate for the rest. But at least it’s something.

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not suffering enough, that's for sure. Should be in excruciating pain 24/7

was the sun going down when he was getting angry and anxious by any chance?

[–] AvocadoVapelung@hexbear.net 52 points 8 months ago (2 children)

POV: daylight savings time just started and you have to tell the president to go to bed an hour early

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

this gotta be the only place on the internet I can make a sundowning reference and have more than 5 people understand it

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 57 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you hate this so much, just quit and enjoy retirement. Nobody's forcing you to run for President.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

i like how i can go on reddit and read the "secret Trump tape reveals Trump is STUPID" and "leaked doctor's note reveals Trump is FAT" headlines, and then i come here for the opposite

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

first two whole pages are trump bad articles on /r/politics

One article critical of Biden appears

frothingfash "where are all the articles that say trump is a big meanie head?"

[–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 52 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 50 points 8 months ago (1 children)

President Joe Biden was seething.

New tag line?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 46 points 8 months ago

Skill issue. Shouldn't have supported a genocide 🤷

[–] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

fuck off Genocide Joe

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 41 points 8 months ago

I hope every second of his life is miserable.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 38 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

"Less popular than George HW Bush in 1992" is a heck of an accomplishment.

I hope he continues to feel increasingly anxious until he has a heart attack. Bullying works folks

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

I've always said as a new york state resident the only way my vote is going to affect the national outcome is if I ball it up and throw it at the dem nominee so hard they die.

But maybe just waving it over a lighter while maintaining eye contact would get the same results.

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

This demented bitch could always retire with all the cash received from AIPAC and/or ADL yet running for one more term. Very astounding.

[–] AnastasiyaSoyka@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

Yes, well, having a brain riddled with holes and purple mice is generally pretty bad for getting elected, especially when said cheese brain is telling him to double and triple down on supporting and participating in a genocide.

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

He told me to sign up for a thing for student loan relief, but when I did all that happened was that all those loan companies that had completely forgotten about me for years are now hitting me up constantly.

Like thanks Brandon, even your "student loan relief" is fucking me over.
