Hursty Not very many. However the whole Muslim from Africa thing seems to be a widely held belief.
NPR polling has Biden +3 among registered voters, +7 among likely voters. If this is true/holds then Joe walks into his second term. Don’s campaign is spending all of its money on his legal bills, so it’s not a stretch to think that he will massively fumble the bag.
zackster Obama doing nothing, out side of passing a Republican healthcare reform bill, with his super majority
He ran on hope and change, was given the power, and did absolutely nothing with it. That was the moment for me that cemented how futile it is to expect anyone in politics to do better. The revolution won’t be televised because it isn’t going to happen until people are actually starving.

Yep. I was so excited for his first term and didn’t vote for him in his second. Completely jaded me. I guess every generation has that moment, and his was surely it for me.
zackster There’s just too much incentive for people in power to preserve it. Maybe AI or climate change will disrupt our social systems enough to make a meaningful difference, but I’m not optimistic.
303abuser after COVID I really dk what it will take for meaningful change. The fact that we came thru that with absolutely no renewed interest in national healthcare is absolutely insane to me.

Will be creamed to make $ for shareholders.
Talk of UBI etc seems to have faded into the background
And our right wing provincial government is actively taking steps toward the privatization of healthcare. There’s a total misalignment between individual political incentives and societal goals. It’s clear that unless people start holding our decision makers accountable, there’s no other mechanism that will.
Mad_Cyril When the labour market has been decimated and no one has money to buy anything, a solution will need to come from somewhere. You’re right the conversation seems to have disappeared, but I would assume it’s being discussed at a high level in some places. Maybe?
LOL @ Juror #2!
zackster So that’s a guaranteed hung jury then?
303abuser thats my takeaway
So once he wins the election, everything gets tossed, no consequences again, then we get to watch a shit show for four years, followed by a likely more successful coup attempt. Go America.
Fucking LOL!!!!!!!!
I like his laugh at the end, knows he’s had an absolute reg!

He smiled because he saw Strom Thurmond appear like a dead Jedi in the audience
Imagine spending every waking moment like your’re 6 joints-deep level baked.
Parody
And he’s the sane choice. The democrats are completely useless.
Yep. Fuck em. I would never vote for Don under any circumstances, but I couldn’t care less if he wins this thing.
