“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN’s Erin Burnett.
President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certain Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump “dangerous” for the nation.
“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.
“How many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? They’ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. … He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t. Which is dangerous.”
The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trump’s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.
Which is exactly my point and exactly the problem even if your assertion is not well supported by the data.
“We’ll only vote if you give us our perfect ideal candidate” - ignoring that (a) you can’t get everything you want in a candidate; (b) other people get a say too; © getting a directionally ok candidate is far better than getting a directionally bad candidate; (d) “good” candidate is a highly subjective assessment. Not all folks 18-whatever are all that progressive.
I gotta admit you come across as rather entitled or at least rather immature. You are demanding the system cater exactly to your specific needs and refuse to participate if it doesn’t.
The big ask right now is he stops funding a genocide and encouraging police actions against peaceful protestors…
To you that’s “perfect ideal candidate”?
Bud, if you want to know what that would be for me, we’re gonna be here for a while, it’s a long list.
We’re talking about what a demographic will do. Please stop getting personal.
If “don’t find a genocide” is too much of an ask, that demographic will reconsider if they belong with that party.
Neither party is entitled to someones vote, that’s the entire reason we have campaigns.
If a certain type of candidate can’t get votes, but another will…
Why pick the unpopular one?
Shouldn’t Dem primary voters vote for the candidate that will get the most votes in the general?
Isn’t that the most rational course?
Edit:
To be clear, I mean the primary voters in the hand full of states that get to vote before the DNC declared it over.
And that’s not NH anymore, because they kept voting progressive.
