President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.

    “Don’t vote for a rapist” is a fine platform to run on at this point, where conservatives are ready to vote for a rapist.

    Biden is getting way too much shit for explicitly saying that voting for him is better than voting for a rapist.

    This is not his fault, go call your grandma names for voting into the two party system, this dichotomy had been perpetuated for decades.

    Biden is the better presidential candidate, and by far the better president, running as a contrast to a rapist traitor is an understandable salient facet of his platform.

    It isn’t all of it, but if a large minority is ready to vote for a rapist, saying “I don’t support rape, if you don’t support rape vote Dem” is a good starting campaign point to let the majority know where you stand.

    You aren’t voting for two rapists.

    You’re voting for trump, a rapist, or Biden, a center politician who has made several responsible ethical and moral policy decisions in his first term that have benefited the majority of the country.
