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.
Won’t the money be spent trying to scare anyone who’s anti trump into not staying at home come voting day?
Yes. Politics nowadays is less about winning the argument and more about actually getting your supporters to show up.
There still is a long way to go. Somewhere around mid April will start retail politics and the real election narrative will be set.
It’s going to come down to Abortion, Education, and Store prices during the general election. Most Americans are not invested in Israel or Ukraine.
If prices come down before Nov, Biden should win based on how Virginia turned out during it’s latest election. But it will be a close election.
MAGA is very much invested in not giving Ukraine any more money. Which was Trump’s plan since 2019.
I just checked out the comments on that twitter post. Yikes, that’s quite the shit show :D
Fingers crossed for your election, guys!
Even if it is bots behave like it isn’t. Go out and vote.
Weird how Elon kept whining about bots being rampant until it came out that half of his followers were bots and Twitter started bleeding users and advertisers.
It’s not weird. He’s a pathological liar and fully intended to make Twitter worse. It’s why Saudi Arabia gave him $22B to buy it with no expectation of an ROI.
I love the title cutting off a very important part of the quote. You guys are just helping spread fear.
Which part?
“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” that’s the full quote. The quote fragment in the title makes it seems like Biden is admitting that Trump is ahead of him. Welcome to modern “journalism” and MicroWave is just a post farm so it doesn’t care what “information” it spreads.
I’m pretty sure in this context frontrunner refers to the choices within the Republican primary, not the general. As in Trump is beating desantis and co.
a younger candidate puppet would have drawn in the millenials/genz vote this time around but boomers gonna boom…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
News outlets called Iowa for Trump roughly 30 minutes after the caucuses officially got underway.
Polling in other early primary states, such as New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, also show Trump leading.
Biden used his first campaign speeches of 2024 to warn that Trump poses a grave threat to U.S. democracy, citing his refusal to accept the 2020 election results, his refusal to condemn political violence and his vows for revenge if reelected.
Trump, speaking to supporters Monday in Des Moines on Monday night, slammed Biden as “the worst president we’ve had in the history of our country.”
The original article contains 217 words, the summary contains 144 words. Saved 34%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Biden’s campaign slogan, forever and always: “Yeah, I might stab you in the stomach with a pitchfork, but at least I’m not Trump!”
But that’s better than getting shot in the face.
Yeah, a hundred percent. I’m mocking the fact that Biden’s got nothing going for him aside from not being Trump. Which is definitely something, don’t get me wrong. But it fucking sucks
I wonder how many rail workers will donate to his campaign
They’d be justified in being angry, but they’d also be shafted just as quickly if not quicker under Trump if there was another labor dispute.
Its a good point but a bad campaign slogan, s’why i brought it up. The guys i know say their local is still for joe but some of em are gonna vote Trump even though back in 16 the carrier left the bargaining table simply because Trump won
Plenty. Maybe do your own research.
Calm down buddy, we’ve only just met. Hiya, i used to work for BNSF and i know some real rail workers personally. While i don’t expect you to take me at my word i do expect you to be respectful when you speak. If you don’t then we can flail our dicks at each other like this. Do you want to do the first thing where we learn from each other or the second thing, where we each try to roll the other person’s ego in gravel?
Edit: the latter, huh? Oh well, collect your stamp and move along
I’d vote for a monkey over either of these old shit heads.
Trump is a massive POS human.
Definitely tremendously worse than dumb, creepy Joe.
We need a serious 3rd party candidate to step forward. I’m tired of have to choose the least bad candidate.
We can’t have a third party that is viable while we have first past the post voting. We need election reform to include new voting procedures like ranked choice voting or something similar along with the elimination of gerrymandering.
This is America. A 3rd candidate would just be the lesser of 3 evils.
Gotta dismantle the PACs and backroom deals that made the GOP and the Dems the most popular parties over a period of 150 years.
“My name is not Trump. Please donate money to me.” - Biden
biden thinks it is him and the citizens he kept down struggling versus trump who did the same
fucking laughable this guy thinks he can do a piss poor quartered assed at best job and thinks we should just blindly follow
More like “okay guys, it’s clear that Trump is going to be the GOP candidate. We need to beat him”.
I need you to do more learning on how FPTP and electoral college voting affects general elections.
You know… if he really cared about beating trump in november, he should step down and then campaign for his successor.
He’s said the only reason he’s running is trump…
But also he said “50 other Dems” could beat trump.
So it seems like less that he’s running to stop trump from winning, and more knowing trump is his easiest opponent.
If all he cares about was stopping trump, yeah, he wouldn’t have ran in the 2020. Let alone 2024 when he’s polling even worse.
Like Clinton before him, he’s willing to risk trump because he thinks trump is one of the few candidates that would make someone vote D to prevent.
I hear that.
And what’s hilarious is… most democrats are eating that shit up.
I wouldn’t say that.
Voting is easy and convenient for me. I’m voting D like I do every election. Just not happy I don’t have a say in who that is for the next four years
The problem is people that don’t always vote because they have to fight suppression.
“Vote me or things will be worse, I’ll keep everything as bad as it is!”
Doesn’t really get them out to the polls…
And that’s not opinion, we know it often doesn’t work. It’s just also the only way conservative Dems can still win. So that’s what we’re going to keep seeing
Voting is easy and convenient for me.
Sadly, thanks to Republicans, it isn’t for a lot of people. By design, because those people are more likely to vote for Democrats.
Voting is easy and convenient for me. I’m voting D like I do every election. Just not happy I don’t have a say in who that is for the next four years
we haven’t had a say in that since I’ve been voting… probably. Certainly since I’ve been paying attention to the primaries. ('16 is what really got me hyper focussed on them.)
“Vote me or things will be worse, I’ll keep everything as bad as it is!”
They’ve been saying that for as long as I’ve been voting, too. (actually both sides have been using lesser of two evils… which this is just an extension of.)
No. Bringing in fresh blood now would only confuse people and ruin his political brand. Biden is the only person who can beat Trump at this point. Not voting, or voting for Trump because you think Biden is too old for the job is asinine. Trump is literally 3 years younger than Biden.
I don’t think he’s too old.
I think he’s too incompetent.
His own SecDef was out of pocket for a week without telling him. His DoJ took over two and a half years to recover heavily classified materials from Trump- and they’re still missing one of the single most sensitive binders Trump had access to.
It nearly took 3 years for Trump to face the possibility of consequences for his insurrection, and as it stands we might not get convictions until after he is elected.
I don’t think he’s too old- I think he’s too out of touch with the majority of American voters. Make no bones about it- he’s a conservative in democrat clothing- republicans have shifted so far right they’re now regressive and he happily slid into their old space.
I think he’s too worried about protecting Israel and not worried enough about building climate resilience in the US, and too worried about his image and not worried enough about them whole Fascists Using Political Violence thing.
In short, I think another Biden administration is going to be the end of America. Not the same end that would happen with Trump …. But Biden ain’t on a path to save America either.
And, who, pray tell, is this mythical successor that would do better?
Give me a name, please. It’s so easy to say “young Democrat that everyone likes” should run instead of Biden. But what actual person is that?
I see your name far too often zaph, and the reason it’s too often rather than nice to see is you lower the discouse of every thread you touch.
Would love to hear your answer to this as well. We all know you don’t have one because you’re clearly just virtue signaling.
There’s a type that needs shit spelled out for them isn’t there?
You didn’t answer their question.
Oh dear, did you gather from context that i was going to?
Always happy to leave an impression!
