US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Liberals don't like Tulsi for voting present on Trump's impeachment, defending Rittenhouse, the Assad stuff, the Modi stuff and criticising Biden and Hilldawg over the years.

Progressives don't like her for endorsing Biden over Sanders in 2020 and coming out against the trans sports shit.

We haven't seen the last of her but she will definitely not stick around in that party

I guess she can join Yang lol

Speaking of, what's Yang doing these days?

Is he even still a Democrat?

 

[Bolo]

They won't run her, is the problem. The Uniparty's influence wanes but it will take more than 2 years to die. It'll remain around for a decade at least, slowly losing all power and relevence. But it won't be gone. And for at least the next two, probably four election cycles it will hold enough power to block candidates.

you think that in the desperation of the waning influence they hold, the dems will bite the bullet and run a progressive (AOC) in hopes to capitalize on her popularity?

If there is one thing we have seen lately is that the dems do panic rather easy don't they? And they seem like slaves to pools and social media reactions.

No, never in a million years.

The Uniparty/Establishment has the ability to prevent candidates from running, but not to get candidates elected. If they did, they'd have -not- used Biden. They managed to do so well by preventing any serious contenders from ever appearing, so only their guys were options. They will retain this power for some time, but their influence over the right side of politics is going to die very shortly and that leaves them just able to prevent any socialists from being able to run.

I'm curious what effect the huge populations movements are going to have. People are abandoning mask-mandate states in droves, in numbers that are absolutely going to affect voting patterns.

Solidification of the Red block in various Purple states. Also, some trends from my work.

We did some polling on the results of the Rittenhouse trial prior to it, sort of "If X result would you Y?"

Lots of Democrats are going to want to move out of Wisconsin.

Soon there may not be many purple states. Dems are moving to blue states and Reps are moving to red states with only a city like Austin being an exception to the rule (but not enough to turn Texas blue or anything.)

So they outsiders will run the right soon enough? What options do the republicans have, just embrace the orange man and hope for the best?

Because I don't really have horse in this race (not North American), but it seems the Republicans are rather secure in the idea that they will win the mid terms and Trump might win again, and I'm not so sure, more so with Trump.

Funny business or not, Trump lost to a corpse, and the rejection came of his persona, not so much politics, so as much as a fuck up the dems are right now, I just can't see why would the republicans act as if they have this in the bag yet.

Lots of things can happen in a year, heck, if biden can spend 6 months withou shitting his pants, and the media touting that he is the best president ever, it may change things right?

I actually did not know Joe Biden’s birthday was yesterday. There was more news about his colonoscopy than him turning 79 years old.

They stopped having an option as soon as the bell tolled on November 3rd, 2021. Virginia was the last sign, the last point the left or the RINOs could try to defend.

Trump won. And even the RINOs have to kiss the ring to get elected. Yes, Youngkin tried to distance himself, but he still had to parrot Trump's most generally agreed upon policies to earn the Republican vote in Virginia.

2020 was bad, but it was cheating bad. A historic election with historic turnout, Trump gaining a ton of votes over last time, and even with the cheating the Democrats only squeaked their way to the finish line for the Executive branch, and then lost seats in the House and only earned themselves a tie in the Senate. That wasn't a repudiation of Trump.

Is he even still a Democrat?

Yang ditched the Democratic Party and became an independent. Last I heard he's just focusing his efforts on the new-ish "Forward Party" PAC he made. He's supporting a Democrat running for a House seat right now but he said he'll support candidates from both parties.

I think Yang's future is just going to be dabbling in providing donations for moderate candidates.

Well, I hope you are right, because that would be a spectacle if we see Trump getting a come back.

I mean, he is the comeback Kid:

Still, I would keep cautious, 3 years is a long, long time, a lot can change.

It's a long but, but also not that long of a time. Politics follows patterns even in the clown world. Short of Trump having a major medical episode or Biden having one that could be shared by Trump.... well, nothing is likely to change the Status quo.

And given Trump has been taking his health very seriously and looks better than he has in twenty years, I highly doubt that he is going to have a major medical episode.

 

[Sithis]

Tulsi would have to compromise hard on her gun control positions to get there. Because if she had her way, Kyle Rittenhouse wouldn't have had that AR-15 he defended himself with.

Not really that hard. While Tulsi believed AR type guns should be illegal, more importantly she believes in the rule of law and that the president follows the will of the people, not imposes it. Iirc she's even already commented on this once before vaguely and said she would follow the will of the people on it. So, not as pro-2A as I would like, but definitely gets plus marks for recognizing it's not her job even if she was president to impose her views on me.

Is the informal sector in the US that large that they think they can get any substantial sum out of trying to squeeze the small guys? Somehow, I don't think so.

Of course, closing corporate loopholes is completely off the table because guess who has the entire federal government in their back pocket...

Trust me, it has nothing to do with actually collecting money. It's not about offsetting the cost of the shit, they can just print money and pay the workers in their printed funny money for most of it. What the $600 thing is blatantly about is "because we fucking can". It's all about keeping the little guy down and reminding him that you can fuck his ass with an IRS audit any time he so much as expresses the slightest disappointment that the bread lines were too long on a given day. Maybe hyperbole for now, but seriously, it's not about recouping money it's about control and showing everyone that they have it.

 

[Corn Flakes]

Lots of Democrats are going to want to move out of Wisconsin.

I think you're probably the best guy I've ever found to ask this question to:

When people say "I'm going to move out!" for political reasons, just how many of them actually do it?

Because if it was even 10% of them following through Canada would be looking like the Kowloon Walled City post 2016.

Out of the country, almost nonexistent. From state to state... depends on their cited reason for wanting to move. Certain individual issues have greater rates than others. High taxes and low housing for instance, when cited as a reason to move, have an almost 100% rate of attrition. Very lopsidedly Republican. But "I dislike my states political leaders" has a paltry 5-7% attrition rate.

Also, Florida continues to be based:

A Florida representative was booed on the House Floor after calling Biden's spending bill 'Build Back Broke'​

• Republican Rep. Kat Cammack of Florida was booed on the House Floor after she referred to the Build Back Better spending bill as "Build Back Broke."
• Cammack said she was voting "hell no" on the bill and was designated by some Republican fellow House members to issue their votes on their behalf.
• House Democrats passed the sweeping spending bill Friday night, sending it to the Senate.

A U.S. House Representative from Florida was booed on the House Floor after she referred to President Joe Biden's spending bill as "Build Back Broke." Republican Rep. Kat Cammack of Florida said she was voting "hell no" on Biden's Build Back Better spending bill and was designated by some of her Republican colleagues to issue similar votes on their behalf. "As a member voting 'hell no' on this bill, and the member designated by Ms. Letlow of the state of Louisiana, I inform the house that Ms. Letlow will vote nay on H.R. 5376, a.k.a. build back broke, and as the member designated by Mr. Loudermilk of the state of – Madam Speaker, the House is not in order." Cammack stopped her speech to request that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi call the House to order after she was met with boo's.

In a statement, Cammack referred to the bill as a "dumpster fire." House Democrats passed the nearly $2 trillion social spending bill on Friday morning that will set up universal pre-K for toddlers and renew monthly cash payments to the vast majority of American families for another year. The bill will also expand Medicare, enact paid family and medical leave, and issue caps for some prescription drugs, among other things. The bill, which will be paid for largely by tax hikes on the rich and large firms who pay little to nothing in federal taxes, went to the Senate. There, it faces an uncertain future as Sen. Joe Manchin has not committed to backing the bill.

I don't think anyone should count VA as being a swing state; at least for candidate Trump. The Karens of Loudon might have grudgingly voted for GOPe Youngkin because McAwful decided to derail his own campaign over the rape case, but that doesn't mean they broken free of their TDS just yet.

Unless of course, Biden does something similarly exceptional.

I read a Twitter thread where a pollster interviewed Democratic women in Virginia who voted for Biden and Youngkin, and you're right, they are not Trump fans. However, three years is a long time, and if Biden keeps screwing up, then they may be willing to vote For Trump, although another Republican candidate would probably be an easier sell.

If Iowa is red then North Carolina should be too.

Also what are the odds that Virginia and Minnesota could be swing?

Presidential elections may be harder for Virginia because black communities will vote at higher levels. But if that group has a depressed turnout because of Biden's policies, there's a possibility of realignment. Or at least a rightward swing, even if it stays blue.
