I cannot believe this is allowed to continue and he hasn’t been forced out yet, Biden should drop put before it’s absolutely too late. When 80% of voters think you’re too senile there’s no coming back from that even with such a poor opposition.
But I don't! Who is he voting for?How does he know the details of their penises? Why is it relevant in an election?
So many questions.
It was absolutely lost on me because I have no idea who he is supposed to be and "batshit insane" has seemingly become the norm in politics.Well sure you do, it's universally accepted in America that the creation of foreskin is God's greatest and only mistake.
Also I know we live in a world where the only type of verification needed now for a blue-tick is a credit card number, but I'm hoping the fact this is satire isn't lost on you.
Because if Biden drops out, Trump wins big. The only chance the Dems have is with Biden. Most of us didn't want him in 2016, but he was probably the only guy that could have beat Trump then as well.I cannot believe this is allowed to continue and he hasn’t been forced out yet, Biden should drop put before it’s absolutely too late.

America is a reality show country. Put another candidate instead of biden and flood the news/social media with stuff about them and they have a chance.Because if Biden drops out, Trump wins big.

Doesn't basically every poll say the opposite of this, in addition to common sense?Because if Biden drops out, Trump wins big. The only chance the Dems have is with Biden. Most of us didn't want him in 2016, but he was probably the only guy that could have beat Trump then as well.

I don't believe any poll shows that. I mean, millions of registered Dems voted for Biden in the primaries. They go away from the will of their voters and it would be total chaos.Doesn't basically every poll say the opposite of this, in addition to common sense?
Nobody was seriously running against him, as a sitting president. If you go by primaries then every single presidential candidate was the "right one", from either party and regardless of the results of the election.I don't believe any poll shows that.

Yes, because the person won both the primary and the general election 4 years ago. It makes sense to re-elect them.Nobody was seriously running against him, as a sitting president.

I thought when Tulsi exposed Harris as a hypocritical fraud in the debates that her political career was done. I was shocked when Biden selected her as VP. I don't think she has the support of the progressive side of the democratic party.Why didn't the Dems present Kamala Harris as a major political force? Or is her lack of cachet self inflicted? She seems to be the antithesis of Trump/the GOP (and Biden in ways). Strong proponent of abortion and women's rights, hugely successful career in law, isn't an old white boi. Can she not sell a vision or something?

American politics wasn't money-dominated enough, so that's cool.
My point is, the time to replace Biden was in the primaries not now.

100%. Honestly, I think both of them are opportunists.The irony being that it was Harris who was relatively normal, while Tulsi wound up a clout chasing, MAGA grifting fraud.
Yeah, I wonder what they promised to folks like Newsome to not run.The Dems did the opposite. They actually attempted to shut down challengers during the primaries. Dean Phillips was the only one who managed to run, and that was largely a political stunt to convince others it was possible to challenge Biden.

Nothing. Challenging a setting president from your own party is never a good idea. They made the right choice by not running against Biden.Yeah, I wonder what they promised to folks like Newsome to not run.
Alternative Democratic candidates run ahead of President Biden by an average of three points across the battleground states. Nearly every tested Democrat performs better than the President. This includes Vice President Harris who runs better than the President (but behind the average alternative).
Some of the gains are coming from winning undecideds and those previously supporting a third party. However, alternative candidates are also pulling votes from Donald Trump. All candidates continue to hold the Democratic base.
Voters are looking for a fresh face. Those more closely tied to the current administration perform relatively worse than other tested candidates.
An average of almost 3% of Trump voters in a Trump/Biden matchup switch to voting Democrat when an alternative candidate leads the ticket. Just 1% of Biden voters defect to Trump when presented with an alternative Democratic candidate.
Young voters, Independents and those who haven’t voted since at least 2020 are most likely to increase support for the Democrat with an alternative candidate.
Like, the enthusiasm gap between the parties could not be more stark:
Why is Biden so stubborn? Step aside man, you're 200 years old and large segments of your party want you out.
Is it irrational though? Democrats spent years praising him and building him up when any neutral could see he was past it. His belief is based on this. You can't spend 4 years saying "you're the one" and then say he's not being rational when he believes he's the one.So you can see why he irrationally thinks he can do it yet again

Every single tweet posting these basic facts is swamped with replies like this. And these are mild, because there's no personal attacks (russian agent, disinformation, sabotage,, trump supporter, anti-black racist) against the person posting the tweet.
Both blue check and normal. A genuine personality cult for a man who doesn't know what he is saying. Amazing to watch.
How much if this has to do with Dems not being in a cult?
Some context here. That $2 wage you quoted only applies to the handful of red states without a state minimum wage amd those state's employers still need to comply with federal minimum including tips. It really comes down to the state (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped). Definitely in those handful of red states the laws suck for tipped workers but in other states like a NY or California, people can make a much better living with tips than you'd get at a retail or low end job. It's hard to just look at a national average because it will vary so much by state. Really the min wage laws need to be reformed for those red states to not let them get away with underpaying tipped workers before tips.
The SS is an interesting point though. While I am pretty sure the difference between unreported tips being invested (even at less than 100%) will always be better long term any difference in SS benefits from reporting the increased wage, it's also true that less than 50% will be investing that extra money, at least among younger tipped workers. I'm not sure that point will convince the types of people I worked with. I'm pretty sure most would still prefer tips not be taxed.
And now there is a huge range of people included among tipped workers too, from young people working through college to less educated/skilled workers in the best earning job they can find to people working part time while they pursue other jobs/interests to retired people driving Uber for a little spare income.
