    But trying to extrapolate from that to that he’s a bad labor president when on every non economy ruining strike he’s been 100% on the side of the workers which is incredibly rare for a US president, I think is unfair.

    Labor is strongest when it ruins the capitalist economy. That’s the fucking point. It’s a class war and the enemy is winning, we need to hit back. Make the markets scream!

    Do you also have a problem with aligning contracts in 2028 so all the unions can launch a general strike? That would fuck the economy up pretty badly.

    I actually have an answer in mind that I like, far more realistic than some that I’ve heard, but I’m curious what your solution would be.

    Michelle Obama, why not?

    I don’t really care, I just know that Biden is going to be even worse by the next debate. Running Biden is handing the presidency to Trump at this point.

    Although knowing the Democrats they’ll do some dog-brained scheme like running Mitt Romney 💀

      I think wanting this to happen sounds great. Like I say, I agree.

      Waiting for a president who will provide it before you take any political step, even if what happens while you’re waiting is that you go into a concentration camp for being queer or communist, while the genocide in Palestine actually accelerates and starts being replicated in a lot of other places across the world; I don’t think that is a good idea. Do you think that is a good idea?

      Michelle Obama, why not?

      I asked you a serious question. Who should win the election in November? If you were running the Democrat’s strategy, who would you nominate instead of Biden?

        If my red state puts me into a camp Joe fucking Biden wouldn’t do shit about it, and the genocide might be completed before election day, so I’m not sure I understand the question.

        You seem to think Trump is infinitely worse. He’s not. He’s somewhat worse in some ways, and just as bad in others.

        A demon country ruled by monsters.

        I asked you a serious question. Who should win the election in November? If you were running the Democrat’s strategy, who would you nominate instead of Biden?

        A former first lady is not an unserious answer. She’s actually probably do very well against Trump. She’s likeable, doesn’t have any real baggage, and obviously her husband would support her.

        They could also try the also-rans from 2020, so Warren or Buttigieg, or they could elevate someone from the House or the state-level, but I think you missed my point.

        Literally any well-known Democrat is a better option than a man that is in serious decline. Otherwise we’ll be in an Emperor’s new clothes situation where they try to gaslight us into thinking Biden is qualified.

        EDIT well hold on, I misspoke. I think Kamala Harris would maybe be a worse choice, and everyone knows it, which is why no one is putting her forward as a serious answer. She just doesn’t have the juice.

        But like I said, realistically they’ll pick Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney i.e. a different disaster
