President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.

    No amount of money is going to convince hardcore maga to vote for anyone else.

      There are, crazy to believe, tens of millions of undecided voters every election cycle. The media calls them “moderates” but really it’s clueless people that don’t understand politics that vote based off gut feeling or “I’d like to have a beer with that guy!”. Getting through to these chucklefucks is critical to winning elections, especially when you’re campaigning in a swing state like Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, etc.

        Yes. Politics nowadays is less about winning the argument and more about actually getting your supporters to show up.
