April 25, 20232 yr Summary US President Joe Biden has announced that he will seek re-election for the presidency in 2024, with Vice-President Kamala Harris again his running mate Now 80 and already the oldest president in US history, Biden had long signalled he would run for another four-year term In a video to launch his bid to retain the White House, he cast the next election as a fight for democracy and personal freedom, saying: "Let's finish the job" But the Republicans called Biden "out of touch" for seeking re-election, claiming US citizens were counting down the days until they can send him "packing" Donald Trump has already launched his bid, meaning the pair could be set for a rematch of the 2020 election in November next year With Biden's Democrats performing better than expected in last year's midterm elections, he is unlikely to face much competition from within his own party But an NBC News poll recently found that 70 percent of Americans, and just over half of Democrats, believe he should not run again
April 25, 20232 yr These next 16 months are going to be wild. I'm not affiliated with either party but it's quieter under the incompetent Biden. Trump is virtually another Hitler. DeSantis seems competent even though he's in Florida. What a mess lol.

Imagine another round Biden against Trump, and Trump will win! Why cant good Americans make better choices instead of ending up with these two? Im all for Biden before Trump, only because I trust his crew will manage to control the country in absence of him being there fully aware of whats going on 24/7
April 25, 20232 yr Popular Post Biden's team obviously have a good idea what's in store for Trump legally and feel quite confident. Biden's message is fighting Republican extremism. Clearly the Republicans themselves seem to be incapable of getting that done themselves so it should be a a shoe in from here unless things change very soon.
April 25, 20232 yr First day of Trump's trial today. I wonder (not) if Biden's announcement is a coincidence?

Has Biden entertained nazis at the white house? Blackmailed any countries? Coddled up to white supremacist groups? Please cite examples of this both sides are extremists mantra.

April 25, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Furioso said: rise of political violence? You specifically said both parties have become extreme. How? Examples please. Must be related to a political party to be relevant to your claim. Something like this might be good Republicans: Downplaying the dangers of extremism only harms our troops The April 13 arrest of Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, for espionage due to his leaking top secret documents, is yet another stark reminder of the danger far-right extremists pose to national security. But Republicans don’t seem to agree. In a reckless move this past summer, Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), shut down proposals to root out extremists even as the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies were reporting that white supremacist and antigovernment movements are our number one domestic terrorism threat. https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/3966624-republicans-downplaying-the-dangers-of-extremism-only-harms-our-troops/

April 25, 20232 yr This is disappointing news. And as a Democrat, it leaves little room to vote, at all. On the other side we have a circus huckster crime lord, vs. a very smart extremist. No thanks. I think youth is needed, but not the Ronald type. Few will get excited about voting for a guy over 80. Though, he has been a decent president. Not great. But, not bad. Brilliant, compared to his reality TV host predecessor, but I realize that is not saying much.

Though they do seem to be growing in size.

The claim was that political parties are extremist, not individuals. I was asking for examples of extremist Democratic policies like guns, abortion, removing social security and obamacare, ten commandments in schools, tax cuts for the rich, support for Putin, that sort of thing.
April 25, 20232 yr Im no Donald Trump Fan, but my algoritms decide and make my feed overflow of Tate, Donald, Roagen, and rarely see anything with Biden there. I continue to hit the button see less, do not show this channnel again, but still it is a never ending feed with same stuff. I do once and awhile see both parts channels from many contributors, but the overload of far right stuff is out of control.
April 25, 20232 yr The Democratic Party will be forced to support old sleepy Joe assuring anyone from the Republican Party to win.

He didn't beat Biden last time, why will it be different this time given the extra baggage Trump is carrying now? And I'm not just talking about his obesity.
April 25, 20232 yr What is even more frightening is if ol sleepy Joe kicks the bucket and Harris assumes the Presidency.

April 25, 20232 yr Imagine citizens would be well informed. And imagine they would vote for competent people in the primaries. And then imagine there would be two or more competent people trying to become the country's leader arguing with facts and reasonable ideas for the future. And all this applies to all over the world. When the internet world wide web started many of us had the hope that that will help that people are well informed to make good balanced decisions. And now...
