    He’s just the same old cookie cutter biden model

    Reminder that Biden is the only person who has beaten Trump. The two women failed.

    And progress was made under Biden if you were paying attention. Maybe not tectonic shifting, but still progress. Which was a whole hell of a lot better than what we’re experiecing now.

      There’s a very clear interpretation of events that the “America will never elect a woman president” completely seems to miss. Since 2008 every president that has been elected has promised significant change to help average Americans.

      Obama promised hope and change as the country was in the midst of a massive recession and had just gone through a housing market crash of historic proportions.

      Trump promised to drain the swamp, to self-fund his campaign and made some surprisingly progressive promises while he was campaigning (he then did absolutely none of that, jacked up the economy and grossly mishandled a global pandemic)

      Biden also made some surprisingly progressive promises (and tried to pass them all in a single easy to block bill. Though in the background there were some brilliant policies which were passed)

      Trump promised more change while Kamala was promising to maintain the status quo.

      I think there’s a sizable voting block that just wants something to happen. They want to throw the electoral equivalent of a molotov cocktail into the mix so that maybe things will get better. They’re tired of nothing ever happening to help them and they want to reshuffle the deck so that maybe they can get a slightly better hand this time around. This is the nerve that trump found, he’s the molotov cocktail they threw into the government in the hopes for some kind of improvement. Now that that’s not working and he probably won’t be able to run again, it’s time to find the next candidate that will promise something other than “more of the same”
