Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.
Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.
“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”
“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.
We also watched as trump sucked off a microphone at one of his rallies, but that didn’t seem to affect the outcome of the election, so why does Biden being senile and having dementia even matter?
So because republicans are willing to vote for a piece of shit candidate so should democrats? Fucking lol.
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just pointing out the contradiction. “Our candidate must be perfect” meanwhile the other guy is fellating microphones on a stage and mocking disabled people.
I agree that democrats need to run a good candidate, but clearly that’s not the most important thing here.
Ok but there’s a large gap between perfect and whatever the fuck you wanna call Joe Biden. Like, Obama was not perfect. Dude was against gay marriage until he changed his mind before his 2nd term. Had he not, he very likely would have lost. But he decided to listen to humans. He was willing to change and ran a campaign for change. Biden ran on “nothing will fundamentally change.” Which… literally no one wants. Theres a lot of reasons democrats have not wanted to vote for the democratic candidate, and thinking like “well trump sucks so it doesn’t matter if ours also sucks.”
Obama was litterally perfect. He had to be against gay marriage to get elected. Thats what you guys seem to be missing. Some times you have to project messaging that contradicts your policy intents.
Like all the Supreme Court justices who did a 180 on Roe v Wade. Some times you just have to fucking lie to the median voter. They don’t care they have the memory of a goldfish.
Fucking Lol.
The only thing funny is pretending that some alternative main stream progressive candidate existed in the 21st century. Who is this mysterious progressive candidate you guys are comparing presidents too.
News flash buddy you ‘more progressive than thou’ liberals are losing elections and the consequences are getting costly.
Saying Obama was literally perfect is just… extremely wild. I mean he was fine, I had issues but whatever, enough to vote for him at least. Issue is plenty of normal milquetoast ass democrats have not voted since Obama because fucking republican-$50 ass candidates do not energize the base. They see no point in going to vote for “nothing will fundamentally change.” Pretending it’s progressives fault is literally the problem with democrats. Progressives literally have been shown to be one of the highest % voting block, and most do still vote Dem, and even those who don’t it’s much less than those that vote libertarian/constitution party. Like, half as many. Yet democrats spend more energy fighting 3rd party candidates than they do fighting republicans. Adopt more Republican policy than progressive policy. Shits just fucking sad.
Yea he was the perfect candidate to win the 2008. & 2012 elections. I base that on the evidence that he won. breaking an 8 year losing streak. Now i think your criticism applies perfectly to Hillary clinton. I base that on evidence that she lost the 2016 election for not being progressive and populist enough.
I support most progressive causes, I’m starting to get really annoyed with progressives losing us elections because you’d rather have your way than a democratic result. Don’t like how centerist the median voter is? Well thats a you problem not a median voter problem. the third party voters, and non-voters are certianly to blame here. Third party votes were a vote for trump. None of you are progressive you’re active trump supporters.
He wasn’t even a piece of shit. He had a good cabinet, he improved international relationships, improved domestic issues, he was a fine incumbant, he would have been better pick than trump if he was a zombie.
Because Biden should have never run in the first place, and the contest would have been much different if Trump were facing a competent opponent who was nominated democratically.
I agree, although I should also bring up that your argument was about the Biden vs Trump debate, however we also later watched the Harris vs Trump debate where Harris ultimately wiped the floor with him. My point is that clearly the quality of a candidate doesn’t matter to the majority of voters, and the quality of how they can debate doesn’t matter either.
I think the quality of candidate you’re referring to is quite subjective.
Alternatively, what I’m suggesting is that a democratically nominated (by the voters) candidate would objectively be better positioned to win an election.
Because ‘any reasonable adult’ ain’t gonna fly when you have no idea how much is left or even if it’s still reasonable.
Also Trump is a fucking moron, but I didn’t vote for him, so if you want to know why that didn’t affect the election outcome you’d have to talk to people who did.
