That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.
I think that’s why ppl don’t like him and why this election will be closer than any of us like. A large number of us aren’t voting for Biden, we’re voting against Trump. Again. This isn’t how a party consistently wins elections.
True but it’s not a normal situation when a Putinesque protofascist like Trump is a candidate with a real chance. It’s an emergency, now’s not the time to wax lyrical about the condition of American politics. Avoid Trump once more, maybe even again in 2028, and build up from there. If Trump becomes president, chances are there won’t be anything left to build upon, that’s what’s at stake. Fuck, why don’t people understand how grave the situation is??
Jesus Christ. If that motherfucker makes it to 2028 and still runs, I will sell every fucking thing I own and GTFO somehow and in some way. Their platform has been “We take your rights away so we can make your life miserable, and make profit at the same time!” and I absolutely fucking refuse to partake in this bullshit any longer because your average “American” refuses to read or accept reality.
So, how does a party consistently win elections?
I hear there are people who would love to know that.
