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?

Reform jews despise the conservatism of orthodoxy. I have heard from a number of wealthy jewish democrats that the hasidics are all wrong and don't deserve the right to practice their religion. The orthodox and hasidics similarly despise reform jews.

From my personal observations, I have found Orthodox Jews a lot more cordial to Reform Jews than the reverse.

I think you're right about the Hasidic part of the equation, though. Even the Orthodox were a tiny bit uncomfortable with them.

Imagine what a Joe Biden presidency would look like. Whenever a crisis or a scandal hits, is Joe going to throw down lids, and hide in the Oval Office until the coast is clear?

When they threw the Steele dossier/Russiagate shit at Trump, he went at it head on. He didn't pause for a second, or miss a step, he called it directly out as bullshit and he never flinched.

What the Hell kind of President will Joey Big Lids make? Do they think electing him will be like the Cowardly Lion being given courage? Do they think it won't just be more of the same weakness, fragility, and running and hiding? How is that the sort of President anybody could possible want?

Yes, I know. When they look at Joe, the only President they see is one in a broken heap at the bottom of a flight of stairs as he makes way for the stronk kween's ascension to the rightest side of history evar.

yea this whole scandal should be called ziplock, with how much lidding is going on. i hate that word now as much as i hate the words social distancing and new normal.

Gallup is claiming a shift in party identification, from D+5 in 2016 to R+1 today, mostly driven by a reduction in identification as D but with 1 percentage point increase in R identification. That sounds fairly promising, although I wonder if "I'm not a Dem anymore, I'm a Maoist!" is driving the decrease in D identification.

I’ve definitely seen a more obvious split within the Democrat party compared to 2016. Right now, there is infighting between establishment Democrats (the Nancy Pelosi types) and progressives/Marxists. I still see a fair amount of the progressives/Marxists voting Biden/Harris just because the TDS is so strong, but I’m sure that there’s a sizable portion of the progressives/Marxists sitting out the election entirely due to a weak Democratic candidate as well as just being jaded entirely. There’s also a small subset within the progressives/Marxists that just want a revolution, so voting to them is entirely pointless, no matter the party. The progressives were once useful to the Democrats, but as time goes on, they are becoming more of a liability. What the Democrats needed was someone like Obama to help unite the different factions, but they didn’t get that this time. Even then, establishment Democrats should have seen where catering to progressives will take them. Progressive beliefs eventually devolve into endless infighting and increasingly unrealistic ideas due to their tenets of identity politics above everything else.

In 2016 Bernie grabbed a huge chunk of the populist Democratic base. His policies are basically FDR New Dealism and he drew support from the traditional FDR working-class coalition along with many urban idealists. There were unironic communists who came along for the ride, but they were vastly outnumbered by the other groups. The DNC took up the woke ideology to defeat him.

After Bernie lost his coalition broke apart. A lot of the anti-establishment working class types went with Trump after watching Bernie turn into a Hillary puppet. Bernie's 2016 campaign drove the growth of groups like the DSA that used him as an advertising mascot but were straight-up communist within. These groups streamed into his campaign once he started again in 2020, and a lot of woke came along with them.

That's why the Bernie 2020 campaign took on such a different, crypto-communist tone. Bernie's actual words have been mostly the same as for his entire career, but his campaign workers are an entirely different breed; we've seen the Veritas videos. The woke leaders sabotaged the campaign while the communists are on tape talking about how they see it as the first step to a revolution.

If Biden loses the neoliberals will have been twice discredited and the communists will gain even more support on the left; the entire reason the DSA and other groups have been able to take off was Hillary's loss. If she won she would have eradicated every trace of the Bernie coalition, probably going after them harder than Trump supporters. In a Hillary win scenario the Republican establishment would probably be fighting Trump people for control of the party.

Another thing to note: in 2016 there was a deep split between the woke and the communists, but now they seem to be patching things up. They both support the BLM riots because they think they'll help push their agenda forward. The woke want to have diversity mandates in all corporations and media., while the communists think the riots can help kick off the revolution they want. The woke would rather be corporate tools than fight a revolution though, so chances are they'll betray the communists when their interests diverge.

Some Jew poster said a while ago it's because majority of American Jews are secular atheists that hate their own religion for realz.

Yep. Even in Germany here. Jewish family I know vote very liberal progressive, even though they're most conservative in their ways.
They feel ashamed for their religious ways and their lifestyle in general.
There was a video from Yaron Brooks back then where he went into detail about Jewish living vs voting behavior.
It doesn't seem to be on YouTube anymore unfortunately.
Edit: found it, he changed the title. Talk starts at 4:20

Hashtag NotRealJews.

I mean they mostly aren't. They joined the alumni association for the connections, not the message.

In terms of the disparity, it's mostly drawn along immigrant and religious lines. The descendants of older immigrants are dyed in the wool Democrat voters and would rather die than vote Republican. The Orthodox are very pro-Trump, but since they're very inward-looking they don't really have significant influence outside of their own communities. A large proportion of Russian Jews (at least the older generations) are very Pro-Trump, and will likely be galvanized into further action after all the Marxist BS and rhetoric spewing from the Dems and their useful idiots.

Everyone's complaints about Blacks being a captive voter base for the Democrats are fairly valid for Jews as well, with the only difference being that Jews have a much more prominent role in the Dem Party leadership than our schwartze brethren. Add to that the fact that as a group that disproportionately receives higher education, you see people more likely to swallow all the university dogma that's being shoved down people's throats. Honestly, even if the Democratic Party were to become just as bad as Labour in terms of their condemnation of Israel and implicitly condone such virulent anti-semitism in their ranks from the Musulman immigrants, I sincerely doubt there would be a significant movement of Jews away from the Democratic party.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

That is because they aren't really (((JEWS))))) tm.

They are religion hating secularists like George "I call putting Jews on trains to get gassed the greatest memory of my life" Soros.

I think you may be significantly underestimating the amount of self-loathing and guilt that's prevalent within the Jewish cultural ethos, and just how prevalent liberal white guilt has permeated the American Jewish community.

We don't support israel to make jews vote one way or the other. We support israel to keep the middle east focused on them instead of us.

*Plus a whole host of good reasons to support an enthusiastic ally.

Ah yes, because the middle East is well known for creating competent and well disciplined militaries.

 

[murdered meat bag]

It's a leftover of the Religious Right, who thought by supporting Israel, they would be blessed by God. They confused modern Israel with the Biblical one.

I'm pretty sure they're all in for Israel for the purposes of ensuring the stability to allow the creation of the Third Temple, which they believe would kick off the events foretold in the book of Revelation.

yeah, the third temple will bring about the second coming. funny enought zionism was everywhere when i was a kid, after the rise of catholic and eastern orthodoxy in the us, the reformers havent really dug deep into zionism as much.

the sbc and some charismatic pentacostals are probably gung ho about it.

I'm not convinced that the renewed interest in Catholicism and increasing interest in Orthodoxy in the States has been prominent enough in the normiesphere such that it was a major cause of decreased popularity of the theology in question.

I think the increasing lack of interest that the Reformed traditions have regarding it (if it was ever popular among them) has more to do with them having been compromised by secular liberal ideologies since the 60s.

Did the Green Party get a boost in numbers. If not that's not good news for ol Joe.

 

[Secret Asshole]

This is hysterical. Biden's campaign just changed the debate topics to eliminate foreign policy. Fucking lol. This is his shittiest fucking topic. What was it replaced with? More fucking race and COVID shit. This is such garbage. Good God, it is so obvious that they're not even trying to be objective anymore.

Also keeps Orange Man from segueing into the laptop to provoke Joe because the Bidens have had a salacious foreign policy worth pressing on.

This is their last stand, and there is no escape.

Trump should shit on the moderator for being such a liberal shill, point out how this is the foreign policy debate, and then keep bringing up Hunter no matter what. And just let Biden keep interrupting like he did before.

I know Hank Hannegraff converting to EO made waves in the reformed (presybterian and sbc) communities resulting in a flood of poorly written apologies against EO. Before that was the Latin/Greek inspired Federal Vision movement that's been around for a bit, whatever new book NT Wright published. Francis Chan has been pumping out latin/greek energy with his focus on the eucharist being really real.

maybe it's just what's happening in my area. but the rise of Catholic/orthodox conversion is causing protestant churches to try and come up with a prot apology to stem the tide. Even now, i've seen presbyterian pastor kind of give in with the Lord's supper being important enough to have weekly vs monthly, quarterly and that it's not just crackers and grape juice nor that it only happens spiritually. You wouldn't be able to get the reformed elders to say that 6 or 7 years ago.

I don't think rabid zionism crops up in mainline denoms, certainly not spoken about in the methodist camp. I assume its the same for lutherans and anglicans. But like i said, maybe it's not the same across the US.

There's no fucking way he doesn't just keep pivoting towards the laptop and foreign policy issues. I fully fucking expect him to just have a portable mic and speakers so they just can't shut it off.

I mean, fucking Biden called a lid for this ENTIRE WEEK. He's like fucking Hitler in his bunker trying to figure out how he can still win the war. If these emails and photos were a nothing burger, why is he hiding? Why is he ducking into his basement sleeping? How fucking stressed is he to do this? I've never heard of a candidate ducking 5 fucking days of stumping so close to an election. 5 free days of Trump.

Fuck, Biden's shitty rally today without Biden had less views than Dankula streaming himself smoking weed and playing Among Us. It is insane. Meanwhile, Trump is getting 5-6k views on his rallies, maybe even more.
