why is Biden up in Michigan, that should be his weakest one

evidence of the residual strength of Biden's position and the "vote blue no matter who" messaging. As election day approaches, my prediction is that his numbers gradually improve as likely 2024 voters who have been turned off by his policies come around to voting for him anyway.

2024 is biden's election to lose or win as he sees fit

I think the only reason the government took covid seriously in 2020 was because they thought if everyone was quarantined then a summer of ‘68 scenario couldn’t happen that year.

Biden's Michigan numbers are well within the margin of error, no doubt. I can't see Arab-Americans voting for that gently caress now.

quote:

Biden, of course, has been navigating a protest vote movement of his own from critics of his support for Israel during its war against Hamas in Gaza. That effort continued in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where the “Abandon Biden” group encouraged people to write in “NO JOE” as an equivalent protest to the “uncommitted” vote that has tormented the Biden campaign in other states.

i used to listen to his podcast about linguistics, then somehow (can't remember details) picked up some subtle weird lovely politics vibes from him, so i read his wikipedia page and immediately unsubscribed after what i saw there. total piece of poo poo.

oh i think the tip-off was that he was extremely weirdly obsessed with old dead white composers who suck rear end

oh, this wasn't specifically about cage, this was just like a collection/pattern that i noticed on the Lexicon Valley podcast in general. i couldn't name them for you now, i just remember he was constantly singing dandy li'l ol' diddies from the 1920s and unlistenable show tunes that weren't interesting or pleasant at all and wondering what the hell was going on with that. if you want some examples, maybe check an old Lexicon Valley archived ep from back when i was listening to it (maybe like 2018 / 2019?) and you'll almost certainly hear a few examples

The definition of democracy is "a system of government in which laws, policies, leadership, and major undertakings of a state or other polity are directly or indirectly decided by the 'people.'"

it's kinda a funny indictment on the state of our political system that the only way to pass a bill nobody wanted to pass funding a proxy war was to include another incredibly unpopular piece of legislation no one wanted to pass as a means of economic war

very curious how america is a democracy in which policy choices are totally uncorrelated with popular preference and everyone hates the government, while china is a totalitarian dictatorship where policy choices are heavily correlated with popular preference and most people like the government
