oh I agree, it'd never happen. He's been wanting this all his life, and if he wins and has the opportunity and desire to run for a second term, the DNC will bend over backwards to let him

Question for the Biden supporters: if he's 10+ points down the week of the election do you still vote for him?

Why has this dumb title-retention thing entered common usage? From a PR perspective it makes sense—what else does Biden even have, a long senatorial record that his campaign is desperate to keep under wraps?—but I don’t see why the media and everybody else has gone along with it. Dumb.

Also he sounds incredibly bad but I guess nothing matters anymore. No masks, no morals, all monsters.

This is a really weird thing to get angry about. Title retention has been A Thing forever. It's just how things are done. There's nothing more to it.

Pretty sure publications never insisted Al Gore always be referred to as the VP after leaving office. And if it is mentioned, it's specified as former. IIRC, the lifetime title is only for former POTUS, and specifically the term "Mr. President".

And it is reasonable to get angry about people insisting on being addressed by titles that imply they're currently in a position with power to improve people's lives. Especially during a time when Drs (of political science) on twitter have a lot of medical opinions about the pandemic.

Voters don't typically announce their decision not to vote in preference polls, and the vast majority of voters don't have any idea who the third party candidates would even be at this point. What I'm saying is that depressed turnout won't necessarily show up in polls beforehand, and if it does it will be in enthusiasm and vote likelihood surveys.

Liberalism has a distinct obsession with appearance. They use categorization to acquire what they desire more than anything else: Respect. Admiration.

Legitimacy.

"Socialism" is a garb to be worn. An armor against criticism. Any time your legitimacy is questions, just toss on your red cloak and pretend to be that which is immune from questioning; a category that has been persecuted throughout modern history. A political minority. It is the final form of identity politics.

That and it means that the 2016 debates would have been between Senator Sanders and Mrs. Clinton as opposed to Secretary Clinton.

I'm also against state funerals for former presidents. JFK was ok because he was president at the time of his death. Harry Truman didn't have a state funeral. If the person is not in office they are back to being John Q Citizen. It's not a title they carry with them.

Even besides that you aren't going to outdo Trump on being Anti-China. Biden doesn't have the energy or petty anger to keep up with him, so you'd think it would be a much smarter avenue to focus all on Trump's lack of response focusing on Americans.

Both Trump and China can be at fault for issues with the response.

Unfortunately Trump ended the TPP which would have helped in countering China. That was a very pro-China thing Trump did.

The Biden ad is calling for the US to be world police because China (in previous versions of the ad, "the Chinese") cannot be trusted.

It does not actually matter how Covid-19 got to the US, only that it did. Preventing travel from China would not have helped anything, because the primary source was travellers from Europe. It's fascist, nationalist propaganda directing hate at The Enemy, here represented as China, stoking the fires of more hate crimes against people of Asian descent, and trying to steal Trump's fascist and nationalist base from the right by saying that Trump doesn't distrust foreigners enough.

Remember when we all thought that Biden was going after the moderate Republicans? Nah. They're going after the hardcore extremely motivated voters with this campaign- the fascists and the nationalists.

The US needs to understand that it never had the authority to demand to monitor anything in any other country. It is one nation among many, one that used to be strong.

When he says "a Medicare-like option" he means a private option, which won't be very Medicare-like at all. This isn't the first time he's said that.

First, "force China to allow experts in" is bullshit nonsense yellow scare. Because that is not a policy (you can't force a nuclear power to do anything), everyone knows its not a real policy, it's just a "see, we hate them foreigners too."

Second, complaining about the travel ban from China being "weaker than some countries" is xenophobic bullshit. Existing research shows that Covid spread in the US through travel from Europe, not China. Allowing green card holders back from China (the "weak" thing that Biden is complaining about) is not what caused this.

Third, whatever obfuscation or stonewalling China may have been initially guilty of, they released the DNA for the Corona virus on January 11th and locked down Wuhan on January 23rd.

This ad is great in debunking the myth that "at least democrats listen to experts." Literally not a single thing in the ad matters or would have been possible.

Meanwhile, Biden's campaign was telling people to go vote in person, it's safe, in the middle of March.
