I'd really like for the Democrats to stop trying to make Biden appear young. Yeah, I would like a younger president, yeah I like that Biden can ride a bike or go for a walk, but these don't make him look younger to me and I didn't vote for him because I thought he was younger and super fit.
I wish the Biden team would lean into the memes, I feel like that's when he's been most popular. Appropriating the Let's go Brandon memes, appropriating the "I did that stickers/meme," leaning into the Dark/Dank Brandon memes, and back when he was VP leaning into the Uncle Joe vibe.
Fucking embrace that the dude is old and make him America's great grandpa. Have him walk out onto a Mr. Rogers lookalike set in a red cardigan to talk about policy. Have him do a fireside address with a blanket and a coffee. Have him throw on the sunglasses and crack the goofy smile before going to get ice cream with a podcaster.
Hell, get the people who made this video to help on Biden's public image.
You're right. He's not young. But he's still a better President than I expected and he's far, far better than any alternative that Republicans will nominate. So can we let go of the age thing for now until we have an opportunity to pick better candidates? I sincerely doubt this election cycle will be it.
Oh I totally agree. I guess the rest of my comment was about how they're trying to make it an age thing and it's the worst marketing for him.
Exactly. When the other side is literal fascists I will, begrudgingly, vote for whoever the non-fascist is.
"shut up or my guy might lose"
No. It's a valid criticism. I don't think I should have to set my concerns aside so the chosen moderate can stall progress for the next 4 years.
So you'd rather watch the world burn than accept progress that's slower than you demand. How noble.
No, it's not slower, it's actively progressing the wrong direction. And having a president that's happy to stall progress is tantamount to giving the GOP what they want next cycle.
I'm tired of 'Democrats' pussyfutting around for 4-8 years only to watch what little they accomplished undone immediately, and the GOP making massive gains towards a fascist agenda no one wants.
Give me a candidate with teeth or yes, watch it all burn down. Get the horror show over with. Anything less than relentless progress is a win for the party that's willing to fight dirty for their bullshit agenda.
Really. This is the wrong direction?
What color is the sky on your world? It's usually blue on mine.
How much of that is executive order that can be undone day one for the next president?
How much of that is wrapped up in a single spending bill?
How much of that is limited in scope when we need large scale change? Protecting a forest with an EO is peanuts on the scale of action we actually need
Fine. You show us how it's done. Tell us how we pass good legislation in light of a hostile House of Representatives.
Go on. We'll wait.
How did Johnson do it?
If they wanted things to change, things would change. Nothing is moving because frankly they don't want it to. They're comfortable with the status quo and won't finance candidates with actual liberal agendas. And they actively finance fucking psychopaths to make their own candidates look better
The house is one of their own making.
Bullshit. This House is the one Republicans built, when they threw aside all norms and decided to be open about their power grabs. They telegraphed it in the late 2000s, and now it's become their new normal. Johnson was able to compromise with Republicans because back then Republicans were largely irrelevant and still followed the rules instead of making up bullshit precedents. They were still interested in governing.
So go on, tell me how you deal with modern politics when the other side isn't willing to negotiate in good faith. Be honest about the world we live in.
I'm pretty sure he selected Kamala specifically for the "well what if he dies" crowd.
The Biden HQ x formerly known as twitter account does lean into the memes pretty good. Even made an account on truth social.
