People. We, the French, pulled a left-wing coalition out of our asses in less than a week and managed to “win” an election. You have months. Hope is permitted.
So we need a French immigrant to help fix the government?
It’s very true. We’ve been brainwashed into a year long campaign mostly because it generates a lot of money for various parties but prior elections have proven it’s mostly what happens in the last month that makes a difference.
Y’all are lucky you can make coalitions, though. This is more akin to your election if you only had centrists and far right running. Two party system and all that.
I think you’ll start to see a lot more excitement in the next few weeks.
I don’t understand you people in this thread.
Ever since the debate, people have been calling for Joe Biden to step down from the presidential race and give the place to someone else.
Now I read the comments and everyone is criticizing and accusing the Democrats of not knowing what they’re doing? Are you for real? They’re doing EXACTLY what people have been asking for. They’re doing EXACTLY what needs to be done if they want to win.
Fucking hell you guys, make up your fucking mind.
Sincerely,
A Canadian with severe anxiety over your next presidential election.
This decision really raises my opinion of Biden so much. God damn do I love that man, he is truly a great person who dedicated his life to serve his country, literally. He honestly had a great term given the circumstances, and the only thing he probably should have done differently is to not run for reelection to begin with. But he seemed to genuinely believe he could win and stave off Trump. Now that that seemed impossible, he makes a very courageous decision that a lot of people probably wouldn’t have made and puts the country ahead of his ego. Lots of respect from me, and I hope this reinvigorates the democratic base and makes the future brighter for all of us.
I know you’re from Europe but you should really read up on Biden’s long record of conservative and corporatist stances and policies. He literally wrote the legislation that trapped all future US generations in indentured student loan servitude in exchange for $250,000 from MBNA the following year. Then, he had the balls to pretend his means tested student loan forgiveness would fix the issue he created while he STILL fights student loan holders in court.
He was one of the most conservative, racist, corrupt, right wing Democrats there ever was. Let’s not rewrite his awful track record.
The DNC NEVER listens to what the People Want so I don’t know how to Feel about this.
