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?

Those stickers are just now making the rounds on the news? I've been seeing these things for months.
You can get 100 of them on Amazon for like ten bucks.

Agreed. That's old news and with everything going on in the world you'd think they'd have something more to report than "Let's Go, Brandon" and "I did that!" stickers around town

 

[Jaimas]

Its not that, its that there's only so much that the Propagandists can do. Every pro-Kamala article written is one that could have been written about Joe and he's the Prez. He's the one in the Oval Office that they need to defend. If the focused on her instead of him I think you'd see those numbers flip with K in the 30s and J in the 20s. They're both the same person, basically,

It's more than just that, she is literally the ur-example of a corrupt DA, an embodiment of everything even rank-and-file leftists hate about their own side. The fact that she kept people incarcerated beyond their sentencing to use them as slave labor is the sort of thing a fucking Captain Planet villain does, and yet it's exactly what Harris did, and is just the tip of the iceberg of just what a fucking vile human being is.

 

[Gehenna]

I'm not saying that either one of them is popular. What I'm saying is that there's no legal way for the Admin to "get rid of her". She'd have to resign, and I don't know what on Earth one could pay her to do that since she'd be out of the game entirely without her Senate seat. Yeah, her numbers are shit, but the MSM spends a LOT more time building Biden up than her, she's an afterthought. If she was in charge, with the full force of the Propagandists behind her and focused on her 24/7/365, they'd probably have her up there in the mmid-to-high 30's too.

This still baffles me. 10 lower than that? She has to be a literal demon.

Lorne, this -is- with having the support of the propagandists. Due to VPs being kept out of the direct spotlight, they benefit from all coverage the president gets. They also get the additional boon of nothing directly linking them in the public mind to anything negative. This is why VPs, near-universally, have either on par or -superior- approval numbers to their Presidential counterpart.

Hell, Dick Cheney remained nearly on par with Bush's average, and people -loathed- him.

You could say the same thing about Biden, though. He's the epitome of the corrupt career politician. The old white guy past his prime coasting on his privilege. Everything the rank-and-file Leftists hate about their own ":side". He helped author the Crime Bill that brought those "superpredators" to heel. He was instrumental in passing tough-on-crime legislation that jailed folks for petty frug offenses for decades.

Again. What I'm saying is that Biden is only 10 points higher than Harris because of a massive propaganda effort to get him up as high as possible. With all that effort, there's none left for Harris so her numbers are a bit more realistic. If the effort going into inflating Joe's numbers went to Kamala instead, we'd see. her in the 30s instead. Basically, high 30's. is the max the Machine can get as far as numbers regardless of which of their candidates they promote.

Well, I'd say that Cheney was about even with W because of the Narrative promulgated from back before W's election to Prez and then all the way through it that it would really be Cheney calling the shots. Cheney was the one with the "Gravitas", remember? Hell, what do I know, anyway?

Man, I wish I was back there now. To think, people thought things were fucked back then. That sweet spot between the end of the Satanic Panic and the beginning of the GWOT. I should have enjoyed it more while I was there because that's as good as it got and it'll never be that good again.

Yes, exactly. So even with negative direct press. Cheney only ended up on par with Bush.

Meanwhile, Kamala with absolutely none of that is sub ten points.

That is with her benefit from the full court propaganda of Biden -and- the relative anonymity that being a VP out of the spotlight provides.

She loses the latter if she becomes president, and -already benefits- from the former.

Yeah, they hated Cheney and W, all right. Now W is Michelle O's best friend and Cheney's daughter is a "moderate" at home on "The View" or CNN denouncing her own constituents as deplorable bigots. It's like Bizzaroworld. I hated W and Cheney then, still hate them, and will always hate them. I can't understand how folks can just switch it on and off like that.

 

[Disc]

I wanted to say something late about the obama aging vs. trump aging thing. Regardless of how well-intentioned they are, most presidents and particularly democrat presents are supposed to play nice, to always be seen as the witty, polite speaker. Party of Decency and all that.

Trump's big advantage was that his main constituents were people who desperately wanted someone who would just speak freely. If he went off the cuff and said something like "Lock her up!" they cheered. Even if he had to sometimes play by their rules, he'd still be allowed to run his mouth when he wanted to.

There's also the fact that he was already the orange man when he first sat down.

Again, she is less popular than full-blown AIDS. It's quite the feat to find a politician that unlikable, but by god the DNC managed to do it.

And Cheney was so visibly evil even elites in the Neocon class were afraid of him.

Does anyone else remember when he shot a man in the face and that man publicly apologized for getting in the way of Cheney's bullets?

While I like the message, I don't think it's cool to deface someone else's private property with your own political messages. It's not quite as difficult to remove as a spray-painted slogan on the side of a business but it's along the same lines conceptually. Go buy a bumper sticker to stick on your own car instead.

 

[GuntPunt]

Cheney seemingly bottomed out at 30% when he shot that guy. Then the recession hit and he left office with 13% approval.

Kamala is at 28% right now, supposedly.

Literally if the economy takes a 2008 teir shit, which isn't an impossibility at this point due to the people running the country, she could potentially eclipse full Dick Cheney.

This is because no one, literally NO ONE likes Kamala Harris. Why do I say that with such certainty? Because she dropped out before a single vote was cast in the primary. Fucking Bloomberg and Surf Mommy Tulsi got farther than Kamala. She has no base of support. She is only tolerated by Democrats because she is Biden's VP, and only barely. That's it.

In other words, the perfect Cabal puppet because she cannot exist where she is without them.

Yep. Late 1989 through Sept. 10th, 2001 was a decade-plus long party in the US, even taking in to account shit like the Yugoslav war, the Clintons fucking about in the middle east, and Bin Laden's first attacks (the Embassy bombings, the Cole, the Khobar Towers).

The Republicans kept the Clintoons on a short leash, so there was a semblance of power-balance in US politics...shit the worst of the loony left back then, the loony left today would call Alt-Right Nazis. That should tell you how much and how bad things have changed.

I miss the 1990s, I genuinely do.

 

[Snekposter]

She is an extremely rare combination in politics: someone who hungers for power but has surprisingly little ability to acquire it on their own. No, really, point me to any sort of political power or influence she was ever able to wield once she left the DA's office.

 

[Dang Woodchucks!]

I don't get it...

If the doctors removed the cancerous polyp out of Job Eiden's ass, how come it's still VP?

I found these articles pretty interesting for very different reasons. It really seems like the biggest contributor to how awkward dating and relationships are is the changing social landscape.

It could potentially be because of Chad Thundercock, yeah. But the takeaway I get from this is, why risk your health for something that might not work out? Why not just focus on improving yourself for your sake? Doomscrolling has its appeals, but hearing that men are doing their best to live the best life they can and better themselves (as compared to lying down and expecting to be unemployed/alone for the rest of their lives) just gives me hope.

Thank you for linking those articles! They were interesting and kind of inspiring.

Alternatively: Older millenials and some gen Z are now within the median range when most people begin finding success, or take back up hobbies that earlier life (socialising and uni/early careers) tend to eat up the time of. The older Gen Zers are now in their mid 20s, meaning quite a lot have been "in the grind" since 17/18 and are now picking up experience to do different jobs and how to better structure their lives.

Millenials are between 25-40 and again will be hitting that point to launch a business, or gun for that managerial position with their years of work experience, some millenials have built up well over 20 years of work experience by this point in various positions and that shit stacks in life.

I've never quite "got" this obsession of being instantly successful in life when people have left uni or what have you. Things take time, and while having that hunger to do stuff is useful, its utterly pointless if not tempered by experience. My own father was in his late 20s before he found any serious success doing something wildly different from when he started out working and there were a couple of times he nearly veered off into something completely different and would've been a fairly dead end for him if he had. He then wound up founding his own company in his 30s which lasted until he semi-retired in his 50s.

The lack of Gamergate on this left wing pyramid is kind of baffling, since you would think they would include it to appease the lunatic lefties who still badmouth the movement.



The auto industry has a huge love hate deal with the electric car. To the point that there was an active plot in the 90s to destroy plans for an "affordable" electric car from being put into production and blackball the designer of said car (which was made into a documentary aptly called "Who Killed the Electric Car" IIRC.

The auto industry would prefer to keep making trucks and SUVs and fuel efficient budget cars since they make more money that way, with the usage of computer shit to let them mark up prices. To the auto industry, electric cars are at best a boutique item for rich folk and not something they want to make the new standard. And in this regard, Musk is largely tolerated because they know he's mainly selling his electric cars to his rich friends and that they aren't a real threat to the auto industry.

The biggest issue is the electric car won't wear out the same as a fossil fuel one will, and thats why the big three are a tad nerous. The current average car replacement, certainly in the UK, is every 7 or so years. With even an average electric car this pushes out to when the battery begins to really fuck up, so that's about 10 years. Meaning the auto industry has to adapt to a change of 3+ years to production cycles and consumers taking longer to replace vehicles. It's probably why FORD has begun selling the idea of conversion kits to keep older models on the road and making some money that way. The electric motor crate kit proved to have a much higher demand than they expected. It also gives people the option of keeping their cars on the road potentially forever, as they will simply replace the battery sets when they wear out instead of wholesale replacement of their cars. Main way you'd deal with that of course, is make battery packs about the same price as a sedan or whatever for replacement.

Tesla is a bit of a threat to the auto-industry as it proved that electric vehicles were not only pratical but could be reliable too and finally helped prompt a number of nations in Europe (UK included) to ban sale of fossil fuel powered cars from 2040 onwards, giving the auto industry 20 years to play catchup.

For all the issues i have with Yang he seems to come off as genuine like Trump and Tulsi. Bernie used to be the same way but the greed was too much. Can't really fault people for liking these people. Personally i still support Yang's idea of moving departments out of DC and frankly hope it gets adopted. DC would do better by having less feds in town and the rest of country would benefit by having departments in areas said agencies regulate.

If the EPA moved to Flint their issues would get resolved super fast and it would uplift the area. DoE moving to Baltimore would not only improve the city and area around but shine a massive spotlight on the failure of public education.

The UK has begun doing this in an attempt to pop the "Westminster Bubble" which is a term used often disparagingly about people who only talk to other government or media people, leading to a feedback loop of "everything's amazing and fine!" when in reality in some areas of the UK its fucking miserable. The Treasury and a few other departments are moving out of London (much to the whinging of the civil servants) to try and create outposts a bit more connected to the actual people of britain rather than the ridiculously warped perception of London. It would do the central government a world of good.

First, apologies if this has been posted already, but I feel that everyone on here needs to read this dumb gay bullshit. Salon's slamming the copium, the hopium and the dopium hard WRT The Dementia Patient's approval numbers.

"Guiz Presidents always have trouble with their approval ratings, pay no mind to the fact that Biden's is significantly lower than where Obama's was in his first term, the Dems totally aren't going to get utterly shithammered in the mid-terms, guiz. Please believe us! ;_;"

it's fun seeing what the absolute die-hard core vote of the Dems is with these ratings. The fact we know by this point how badly warped the methdology is towards the Dems makes it even funnier. The media's busy screeching "TRUMP WAS LOWER" in a few places now, but the poll ratings are still utter dogshit on what's supposed to be a nice weekend.

This still baffles me. 10 lower than that? She has to be a literal demon.
