The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual

Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.

The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

    So you can blame one random voter for having morals, or you can blame the DNC for not giving voters what they want for easy wins.

    i can blame both simultaneously

    if we end up with a fascist president, it is both

        Read what happened during bush v gore. Your vote matters, you can spare the 15min-4 hours depending on location once every 2-4 years. Sure it’s a shit show, but you’re actively letting the shit show get shittier by trying to prove a point to the DNC, which you eluded to not giving a fuck what you think.

          Oh I’m still voting. Haven’t missed an election since I turned 18.

          Downballot races matter. Not just House/Senate, but local and judges.

          But I’m not throwing my morals in the trashcan to vote Biden when he has zero chance of winning.mybstate anyways. I’ve blindly voted straight ticket for decades. I can’t keep doing it. For president I’m probably going to leave it blank or write in.

          Because I’ve seen what happens when Democrats no longer try for anyone’s votes except Republicans.

          If they think anyone left of republicans are obligated to vote “blue no matter who” them they’ll never change.

          As long as progressives vote for neoliberals, we’ll never get anything. The DNC only responds to bullshit like this, so this is the only chance at getting the DNC to listen to voters.

            There is an immediate grave danger to everyone you know and more that you don’t. Sometimes you have to figure that into your moral compass as well. Think of it like stealing bread to feed your family. It looks like you’ve put a lot of thought into this decision, and I hope you continue to.

              Everybody has a line.

              Mine is going around Congress to ban aid to genocide victims.

              Maybe Dems haven’t crossed your personal line yet.

              I truly hope they never do.

                There’s a lot I don’t agree with and frankly some stuff I’m disgusted by. That said, there are worse things to be avoided. The opposition is not going to do Palestine any favors, in fact they boast of the extreme opposite.

                  Like I said, I hope they don’t cross whatever line you have.

                  But the DNC has been showing us for decades that as long as you still vote D, they don’t give a single fuck what you want.

                  The only thing they respond to is people not voting. So…

                  Hopefully they learn not ignore the left, or else they’ll keep moving right until we all reach out personal line.

                  I really really wish there was another way. But we can’t even count on having primaries anymore.

                  Do you think NH republicans are going to change NH state law by 2028 so the DNC gives them delegates again?

                  I see no reason for that to happen, and the DNC won’t back down because NH doesn’t vote how the DNC wants.

                  I can’t keep supporting them.
