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?

Still waiting for the heart attacks to kick in. Perhaps I should take up a soccer career.

young males have the worst risk IIRC, its not a large risk but still high enough to be not worth getting the vax. especially for teenagers since the potential myocarditis would be worse than any case of covid (unless deathfat).
Athletes are most visibly effected because of their highly intensive jobs whereas a sedentary zoomer nerd may not as bad as a time with it.

Dr. malone said on the rogan podcast that when he got the vax he had side effects that could have killed him. (clots i think but im not scrolling the podcast to confirm).

 

[Sithis]

It does make me wonder a bit why no one is really pushing the "the vax is causing all these bad side effects because drumpf rushed it!" path sorta like before when no one would trust taking the vax because it was created under his watch. Like, I feel it'd be an easy scapegoat instead of all of this handwavy "don't worry sweety, it's nothing to worry about, trust the science! also silence all that think otherwise!"

They literally couldn't if they wanted to at this point. They broke the Branch Covidians' brains so hard that they are psychotic about it now. No sense, reason, or logic will bring them back from their panicked anxiety, they'll have to be slapped in the face with the facts via experience and even then a lot of them wouldn't change. It shouldn't be underestimated just how very much "covid is super scary but if I repeat these talking points, take experimental jabs on schedule and trust The Science, I am a good person." has become the entire identity template for them.

 

[SouthernBitchBob]

I've never made a habit of getting yearly jabs for stuff like the flu, but I would always get the flu shot whenever I updated my tetanus and other long term vaccinations. I have apprehension of going in to get a vax for anything at this point because the simple fact is that I can't trust the doctors to not sneak the corona jab in with my other shots.

I know there's all kinds of legal stuff that would go against, but I still wouldn't trust them to actually uphold those laws since they obviously don't care about their Hippocratic oath at this point.

Outside a clear, identifiable issue like a broken limb I find myself disinclined to visit a doctor at all. I haven't had a single positive interaction with one in a decade. If you don't have something easily WebMD-able wrong with you, they're going to give you a fake polite version of "I don't know, have some blood test or whatever and get outta my face I need to see the next patient to get my pay". If they smell an opportunity to charge the shit out of your insurance they'll take it. If they can get you on a permanent daily pill for imaginary issues that don't cause you problems, even better. Make sure you sell those cholesterol drugs!

But come in with a problem they can't Google and you're making it up or something, fuck off I don't have anything to sell you for that.

Biden administration authorizes federal agencies to keep employee vaccination database

After the issuance of the vaccine mandate for federal employees, which was then tasked to the OSHA, guidance was issued stating that agencies keep records of employees' vaccination status.

@Trianon (reply bug)
The Virginia GOP was running hundreds of volunteers through poll watcher classes before the election, in Loudoun County the Republican poll watchers outnumbered the Democrats 2-1, and that's in a heavily blue county. Steve Bannon has also been encouraging people who listen to him to become election precinct captains as well.

Focusing on these grassroots positions is a real winning strategy. As far as I'm aware the Democrats haven't really even noticed this happening and thus they're not responding to it at all. It's only getting limited media attention such as this article (which has a good map attached).

They are aware. Much the same effort is going on, quietly, here in Wisconsin. The Democrats are very aware its happening, very much dislike it, but... can't really do anything about it.

That kind of mass training effort requires two things.
1: Volunteers.
2: Money

You need the volunteers to take the classes, sign up for the positions, put their name on the papers, and take time out of their days to do it. The Democrats don't have anyone who can fill out those roles in any sort of numbers. Their most hardcore supporters who are young and could sign up are either A: LAzy as fuck and don't want to do more effort than a retweet or; B: Antifa types who really, really want to maintain anonymity.

And money? They are flat broke for anything that isn't immediately, terribly important. While I can't talk specifics for Wisconsin, just look at somewhere else this is happening. Arizona. Massive push for new poll watchers there, funded both by the state and federal level Republican parties. And the Democrat response? Nothing, The federal side can't subsidise it because they spent far too much and have yet to recoup anything from the 2020 election. State side spent far too much battling the election probe and securing their own asses, and also paid a lot for 2020.

They have no men or money, and now that they -need- it, they deeply regret it.

[Marshal Mannerheim]

Not sure a better place to put this, but people are apparently shocked again that Trump is in favor of the vaccines he tried to help get made. Seems like he's annoyed that Republican politicians aren't promoting his vaccine. Curious as to what Republican congressmen will do now.

View attachment 2880239

Trump's fat and in his 70's. He's exactly the sort of person who should take the jab.

I'll say it again; being unconditionally anti-vax is bad, being unconditionally pro-vax is bad. While the vaccine does have side effects and while alternative treatments may well work better than the vaccine (as the Project Veritas/DARPA leaks show) if I was in Trump's position I'd take it. I'm a young man who works out regularly so if I had a choice I wouldn't take it. PL, but I was basically forced into taking it by some Branch Covidian relatives who outright refused to see me at Christmas unless I took it. I'd bet that lots of people my age who've taken it are in the same boat as me.

Biden bros... it's over

Quinnipac has Biden at 33% APPROVAL and 53% disapproval. Sample was 1,178 RV. They note that in November, Biden had support from 87% of Democrats. Now only 75% approve of his performance. This one's getting attention.

Actually, I need to highlight that first tweet more. HE HAS 28% APPROVAL AMONG HISPANICS. 40% are strong disapprove. These are the sorts of voter shifts that will have ramifications for decades after this presidency.

He is hitting 24% approval in Independents here too in YouGov.

Keep in mind YouGov just collects info and gives it out to pollsters to weigh and manipulate. Not even a left wing University poll can keep Biden above the coming collapse of approval.

The floor is falling out.

Wasn’t Trumps approval only 50 at the end of his run?

Thing is though, ending the filibuster just isn't going to happen because of the more moderate dems in the senate. So this warning, while fun to listen to, is really a waste of time. The dems learned their lesson after they fucked around with the rules for appointing judges, I think.

I don't even have to watch it to know the gist of his wanring. "If you do this, we will use it to hurt you."

At some point, sooner than we expect I think, the powers that be in the DNC are going to have to make one of two decisions:

Back off just in case the GOP gains access to the new toys they keep trying to get.
Try and make sure the GOP isn't ALLOWED to gain access (read: win an election) ever again so they can't get access to those wonderful toys.

Or they could just try and thread the needle again. That would be amusing.

There's that trend line @Gehenna mentioned. Kind of a corkscrew into the bedrock really.

For once the blue checkmarks aren't overreacting, that's ugly polling even if an outlier given Quinnipiac's Dem bias. Pretty much reinforces how voting rights distraction isn't going to save Biden or the Congressional Dems, they need a complete economic 180 to even have a hope in hell come November.

Now to keep an eye on 538 for the next few days. Looking forward to seeing little Nate Silver try and rationalize this one away

 

[FlappyBat]

From all the talk I assume it's the case, but do you really only need 50 votes plus the VP to kill the filibuster?

I'm less curious about the Biden numbers as I am that only 54% say that the economy is getting worse. Unless those other 46% thought it was already shit and is now leveling off.

You have to keep in mind that these numbers are heavily weighted in favor of Biden and against Trump by Design. It's like if you measured apples against eachother on a scale, took a bunch off Trump's and put it on Biden's scale, and Trump still had Biden's weight beat.
