Yea I'm so elite. That's why I barely survive paycheck to paycheck, don't have healthcare, don't have much with regards to retirement funds, and have to ration my food. And I'm fucking 33.
Fuck you, you elitist old man. Democratic elite are showing their true colors, that they don't give a fuck about us. We are trying to tell him that he's going to lose to a fascist with his shitty debate performance, and he's pretending it didn't happen and trying to gaslight us. It's not that we want trump because we don't. But we are worried that his shit performance will depress the vote into not voting, which is a very real threat and will lead to fascism.
If we fall into fascism it won't be the voters fault, it'll be the fault of the elite ruling class. We didn't have to go in this direction, but we have been going here because Republicans keep going further authoritarian and the Democratic party barely tries to push back.
Whoaaaa....
Are you saying voters aren't going to respond well to Biden telling them their concerns aren't valid and no matter what he's not listen to them?!
Ikr? Crazy concept
Oh don’t forget he believes inflation is made up, but then you see shit like this while looking at all the price increases https://x.com/interneth0f/status/1810667768917660141 And this just plays into the Anti-Biden ads I see on the road. Most of them just basically show clips of Biden saying the economy is great and inflation isn’t real, and asks the viewer do you look at your bills under Biden and think he is just lying to you or is he suffering from dementia?
It's just such a tone deaf response. I sent an email to my senators and rep asking them to listen to their constituencies regarding their election fears. Not that I think it will do much. But God, waiting around for this old man to lose to Trump while feeling powerless (yes, I'll still vote) just sucks so much.
