It's Biden 2024 or democracy nevermore. Period

Now that is a bumper sticker. I don't have the resources, but does anyone who reads this have, I will gladly buy one, The Biden Campaign and DNC are guilty of misfeance if they don't use it.

Act Blue should give it to every contributor.

I wish that was enough. The right, the Russians, qanon, or whoever always spin it that Biden is already a dictator. This always blurs the lines for the people that don't pay attention. They just think that the left say this, so the right say this...so on and so on. The spin and misinformation is so powerful.

True. Biden a dictator, what a laugh, my problem with him is that he is a amelierater, bipartisan qualities he learned in the Senate, that is a reason why Senators should never be presidents.

There is the myth of compromise so popular in the detached elite,like the senate,and look what bipartisan compromise has wrought, a threat to democracy. The right is united in ideology, hate, fear, bigotry, while liberals twiddle their thumbs, believe in compromise, and spend too much time bleeding their hearts. And what has that wrought Trump 45, a hostile congress and Trump 47.

Our troops didn't disembark on Normandy beaches, waving banners of peace. Our citizens didn't take to the streets defending the fascists. There were no demonstrations accusing the military and our government of genocide against the Germans, as our bombers leveled German cities, and killed millions of German civilians.

Then again I lived through an era, which the modern crop of tools and fools, haven't even read about.

President Biden knows how the system works. Trump wants to make the system serve him and his whims, no matter who is harmed in the process.

True Kathy, but Biden's approach is not working. It is like he was wearing gloves, fighting by Marquis of Queensbury rules and stepping into a cage match with an MMA fighter.

Michelle Obama "bragged" when they go low we go high, however there is a Scotch ballad that goes, "you take the high road, I'lll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye"

The Democrats and Biden has best go on the offense and fight the right on their terms and grounds, or it is the end of the grand experiment.

I understand your point, and I agree they should go on the offense.

Thank you, that's all I have been saying. Unfortunately going on the offense is not in the DNA of the DNC, or President Biden, especially with his experience of 34 years in the senate and being mentored by racist Dixicrats

Those who praised bipartisanship and comity, will rue the day when Trump becomes 47 and carries through with his threats, notice I didn''t say if.

Maya D'Angelou said "When a person tells you who they are the first time, believe them" Alas the corporate media is either cowardly, compromised or complicit, and apparently so is the DNC, If they and Biden do not get off the pot and grow a spine, the DNC might as well, close it's doors and sell off it's furniture and building.

The time for wishful thinking and hope is over. Time to acknowledge this is a real war, and if we don't fight it with overwhelming force, it's over. I take Trump at his word, this is our last election ever if he wins. He has the House, maybe the Senate after 2024, he is riding high in the polls, not just the primary, but in the general.

It will take a miracle to save our skins, and I don't believe in miracles, just hard work and effort,, and I really don't see that, just fluff and wishful thinking.

Biden has called out Trump frequently since 2015. Biden still points out that Trump is a danger to our society and to democracy. Biden said last week that Trump wants to be a dictator. what more do you want him to say?

Not just Biden but the whole of the Democratic party, over and over again, louder and louder in different ways until the corporate media gets off its ass, stops this both sides ism, and stop covering Trump. The retard hogs the news, the media hangs on his every word, because there is no such thing as bad publicity. Trump needs to be ridiculed, exposed for being a buffoon, a moron, a pervert, a grifter, not for saying crap that Hitler and Mussolini said (well that too) but ridicule is what takes him down.

The right wing is the master of ridicule, and weaponizing language, They turn liberal into a dirty word, which sets Democrats running for holes like a cockroach when the light is turned on.

The right wing created a phrase Trump Derangement Syndrome, when in fact it is the cult that is deranged, so turn the phrase back on them. Biden and the Democrats need to copy the Republicans fight fire with fire, go on the attack, never apologize,, double down, never go back.

The wimpy "when they go low we go high" is why they have the initiative, and it is at odds with human nature.

The Scottish diddy applies: You take the high road and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore you.

Attack, attack, ridicule the moron, say it out loud, he is a moron, has dementia, ignorant and uneducated and is unable to speak a coherent sentence, he speaks like a 3rd grader, attack his strengths, and his oratory his rhetoric is his strength with the weak minded, fearful and insecure.

The German press never attacked and ridiculed Hitler, they took him serious and tried to counterpoint him, that didn't work, and it doesn't work with Trump. But the man has a fragile ego, is very insecure and that can be used to whack him off at the knees.
