Biden didn't drop out of the race. He was dumped by his party. They'll eat their own to keep power.

They need someone who can poll closer to Trump so it won't look as obvious when they steal the 2024 election.

No one would buy it if Biden was "re-elected" by massive voter fraud, so he was thrown out to make room for some other loser. Whomever it will be doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of beating Trump but as long as he/she polls closer than Biden was, they can work with that.

Absolutely, as stupid and uniformed a huge portion of the Electorate is, most wouldn't buy it.

Truth is though, they don't really care. Just like last time wit 81 Mil ! LOL

I don't think that's it. I think they saw democrats didn't like it when Biden gave money to Israel and so they switched to give their voters a feeling of hope that they might get a candidate that actually aligns with their values.

I've also noticed a huge uptick in social media "vote blue no matter who" rhetoric. This has been coupled with AI comment bots arguing against third party voting.

SO yes, I'm seeing a ton of shady corruption that I agree skews the voting, but I think you're missing just how it's done.

Which, because I'm voting third party, I'll suggest that you (nicely if you can) try to convince democrats to vote third party. It would benefit us both, as I'm not in favor of Kamala and neither are you. I don't foresee her winning anyway because of the polls either. Too many leftists don't want to vote for a cop. They don't trust her to actually block the government from taking more power or giving money for foreign powers.

I could be wrong. That is why it is just my opinion.

I still think it has to do his poll numbers. Regardless, it was the party who dumped him. He didn't back out. Jill wouldn't let him.

I seriously doubt it was him who made the decision to give money to Israel. Maybe Jill did it, maybe it was someone or some other people. And I think giving Israel money was just political theater. I am fairly confident that no one in the Democrat party cares at all for Israel . The Dems support Hamas.

"I'll suggest that you (nicely if you can) try to convince democrats to vote third party"

I made a meme several weeks ago asking Democrats to vote for RFK Jr. He sucks but at least he loves America. Democrats have a real problem with their hatred of America. There's a lot of people who can never vote Democrat because of their disdain for this country.

I would vote for the Constitution Party candidate if they had one. I joined the Constitution Party over 10 years ago. I am not a big Trump fan. He is light years better than any Democrat but I think we can do a whole lot better. But maybe the really good potential candidates don't want to run for president because of how evil the Democrat party is. They will dig up stuff from a candidates teenage years to hold against them. They just do not want the Democrat party grilling all of their friends and family looking for anything.

Israel has had their iron dome long before Obama. Probably before Obama was born.

False.

Kindly look things up before posting uninformed disinformation.

Before Obama was born - in fact, when he was still in high school, Israel's Air Force literally attached car rear view mirrors to their fighter jets. That's how low tech they were.

What part of "probably" do you not understand? I didn't know when Israel developed the iron dome but I knew it was a long time ago and it was long before Obama was president.

No, still you still don't know still, as you just admitted.
You don't even know what it is.

Still

Hamas owes its existence and power to Likud and Israel.
It is Netanyahu's creation much in the same way the al Qaeda was Reagan's.

The Israeli government was warned by Egypt of the imminent attack two weeks prior,
they ignored it.
The Israeli government knew the terrorist attack was in the works a year prior,
they did nothing,

- except turned the Iron Dome off,
Gave the Israeli Army the day off,
And left Netanyahu's phone off the hook that day. Literally. He left his phone off the hook.
While he took a nap.

Is it fun making crap up.

You should put a little bit of elbow grease into it then, because doubt you're having that much fun given the low skill set applied.

Huh?

tl:dr

Is it "Huh?" that you don't think I understand? Or is it "tl:dr"? And which one is mistyped?

I absolutely think none of that was his idea either.

There's a misconception around democrats supporting Hamas. Hamas is a really small group that's mostly dead. Democrats support Gaza and the civilians in Gaza. They think Israel isn't being careful enough on purpose. Most Democrats want a ceasefire. I believe Trump actually also wanted a ceasefire. I do believe that Hamas has offered a ceasefire too.

And you just gotta learn how to appeal to leftists, cuz there's many good reasons not to vote for Harris. She's just a younger Joe Biden. If you go the angle of, "You should vote for who you want, not out of fear." That's an appeal to their emotions. It's hard to argue against.

Joe is/was the last of the KKK pretenders, Harris is the pivot to full blown Communism. They've wanted that move to happen & he was given an opportunity to PLAY his game. He did & it failed. Now it is RETIRED forever.

:( I wish. I'm actually voting for RFK cuz he's the most socialist one we got. I wish we could get a communist candidate.

That will ALWAYS fail. You will always be a disappointed voter, I'm afraid. Trump was CREATED by that ideology.

Trump was created by a father who was arrested for his part in a KKK riot in 1927.
Trump was created by 1973 racial discrimination case involving Trump rental properties.
Trump was created by buying himself media appearances in order to counter the bad publicity.
Trump was created by a TV show he paid to have centered around himself.
Trump was created by runs for the presidency in order to promote the show.

There is no way possible to convince Democrats to vote 3rd party. They have been propagandized by the media for years to hate Trump. They have never ever had such hatred against any Republican before like they have for Trump. That's why Biden got so much support in 2020 and it is also why, even though his poll numbers were low, they weren't completely giving up on Biden.

They live in absolute fear of a Trump presidency. They would vote for a potato if it would keep Trump out of the White House.

Which is a valid point. You've just got to frame it in an emotional way. "As much as I disagree with democrats, it still makes me sad that you guys fall for these fear tactics. Trump was pro-choice in 1990, he plans on electing a democrat to a treasury position. He obviously doesn't mean any of what he says he's going to do. It's all marketing. We both actually want the same thing. Less government, and I think RFK will help with that."

The democratic candidate has always been selected. Never elected. It's written into the rules. The delegates can vote for who won the primary in their state but they don't have to. It specifically says that they have to follow their conscience.

It's been like this since the 80s. they're following the rules. You can read them here: https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Permanent-Convention-Rules-as-approved.docx.pdf

What you said is both true and not true, but it is more true than not true. The reason it is not true is because it is the voters who decide who the candidates the delegates get to chose from. However, what you said is more true because the delegates are not limited to who the voters select.

It is all because Democrats never cared about democracy, just like they don't care about freedom.

Have you ever said or agreed with the statement, "The United States is a Republic not a Democracy."

If you have, what you've written here is really weird. Because you're mad that the Democratic party is using a representative process and not a democratic process. Frankly, it rings rather hollow and insincere.

Yes, I have said we are a Republic, because we are. What I said was in reference to the gazillions of times the Dems have accused the right of "destroying our democracy".

There are parts of our Republic that is democratic. We have elections at all levels of government and at the local level we even get to vote on policies sometimes. However, we don't vote on everything that the government thinks up. We have representatives who do that for us.

So, it's not entirely weird. And Democrats are notorious for thwarting democracy.

False.

That's exactly how the Electoral College works. Since it's inception. And for the very purpose of overturning election results if need be, as the very wise Founding Fathers believed that most voters would be too ignorant and intellectually limited to vote wisely, making them more prone to make base impulse choices, rather than informed ones. The EC's main purpose was to prevent the election of populists. Like Trump.

Speaking of Trump that is the very thing he attempted to do in 2020 after losing the election, as well as on January 6th, the latter of which there is no provision for.

You guys HATE the electoral college.

Naah, not all of us Americans do. Some of them, like in the Tumbleweed States, like it because this way they have more power than warranted by their small population numbers.

You guys work out fine without the equivalent. Any complaints about obscure towns that nobody's heard of basically controlling everything?

The original idea was so that the smaller populated states would have an equal voice over the larger populated states. But the Dems fixed that. They all moved to New York and California. And now the presidential vote is decided by those two states. It takes a huge effort to get enough of the rest of the states to override NY and CA.

What makes it worse is that all of the conservatives (and the clueless liberals) are fleeing California in droves. The clueless liberals are bringing their idiotic ideology with them and are destroy the states they have settled in.

They're leaving NY but not at the same rate they are leaving CA.

False.
That was a secondary reason, a concession made to appeal to less populated states who feared being overshadowed by bigger states with bigger populations.

The Founding fathers initially didn't want to give anybody the right to vote. Other than themselves, that is, the new aristocratic class, the new feudal lords. They appointed the first presidents.

But, memory can be a rather itchy creature. The echos of revolution gunfire wasn't too far off, and they didn't have the convenience of the Atlantic as a moat should the minions rise up against them as they did against their British overlords. The French Revolution showed that it wasn't necessarily going to remain an isolated incident. And that it could be far bloodier, the sound of a guillotine can be a little bit scarier than guns shooting British soldiers.

Initially, they granted the right to vote to only Protestant British and Germanic property owning monied males. They wouldn't even let all property owners vote, viewing the not-so-rich-ones as too intellectually inferior. By birth.

And the opposite, the EC gives vast acreage of tumbleweeds and cattle more political influence than it does citizens. Senators as well. As departing populations continue to make ghost towns out of the flyover states, they ironically gain more power proportionately over the majority of Americans.

How is what I said false. You just reiterated my words.

What a load of caca that is. No wonder you think Trump is a dictator. You probably think our founding fathers were all fascists.

"Initially, they granted the right to vote to only Protestant British and Germanic property owning monied males. They wouldn't even let all property owners vote, viewing the not-so-rich-ones as too intellectually inferior. By birth."

More caca. Are you inventing this stuff?

"And the opposite, the EC gives vast acreage of tumbleweeds and cattle more political influence than it does citizens"

Why, yes. Yes it does. But we used to be a very very loose collection of states. Each state thought of themselves as more of an independent nation. The agreed that a very small and powerless federal government was a good idea and the smaller populated states were afraid they would be out voted by the larger populated states on issues that would affect their state.

Your graph about NYC being more populated than most of the the states in this country, including the state I currently live in just makes me all the happier that I don't have to live there. What a nightmare!!!! All of those people living in tiny boxes stacked on top of each other, paying thousands of dollars per month, in an area the size of a postage stamp. That is a living hell. I'm so sorry you have to live there. You should move. Live somewhere where you can breath, instead of that sweaty, humid, hell hole that you call the center of the universe. I'll bet the entire city smells like sweaty armpits, urine and caca. But how would you know, you grew up smelling that smell. It is normal to you.

Because what you said is false.

Ahh, voting rights.

Originally it was only the Founding Fathers,

Then it was only Protestant British and Germanic property owning monied men,

A decade later Catholic 'White' men also,

A decade after that Jews were also allowed to vote.

The rest had to wait till the 19th or even 20th Century.

Hope this clarifies things!
