    “Project 2025 should scare every single American,” Biden said. “It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives and let him use the presidency to enact ‘revenge’ on his enemies, ban abortion nationwide and punish women who have an abortion, and gut the checks and balances that make America the greatest democracy in the world.”

    Remember less than 24 hours ago Biden said he wouldn’t really care if trump won as long as Biden felt he “tried his best”?

    Logical consistency is a big deal for Dem voters but Biden and the DNC keeps wanting to treat us like Republican voters who have the memory of goldfish and zero standards.

        Although, I feel like you were just looking for a way to insult me that you don’t think will violate civility rules…

        Since we’re asking questions tho:

        Why have I noticed most of the accounts saying we have to stay with Biden are from Australians?

        It’s just a super weird coincidence I’ve noticed, because I’ve started waking up every morning to a couple pro-Biden replies, and they’re almost always from accounts that live in Australia but comment on American politics a lot

        What’s the deal with that?

          I don’t have any interest in insulting you… and pretty much just too lazy to read your comment history.

          I can’t speak for other Australians, bit I’m fascinated by US politics. It’s an absolute shit show and it serves as a cautionary tale for the rest of the world I think.

          As to why we’re passionate about supporting biden… this is just supposition but:

          Firstly voting in Australia is compulsory, so the idea of voting even if you’re not really enamoured with the options is more palatable. That said, we do have preferential voting so it’s not really the same.

          Secondly the US is a close ally. US international policies are in many ways our own defacto policies. In some ways we would be burdened by a trump presidency.

          Thirdly, and this is probably more “me” than Australians in general but I strongly believe that most conservative voters here are voting against their own interests for the wrong reasons, yet we seem to be leaning further and further to the right like everywhere else. I see criticism of Biden more or less the same way. They may be valid concerns but you still need the guy to win.

            No problem, but we dont really have time for rubber neckers now.

            Especially when they just wander into conversations, throw out opinions without actually living here or interacting with Americans and tell us what we need to do to get Americans to vote against trump.

            You don’t actually know what’s happening here. Because you live on the literal.other side of the globe.

            So as much as your interested in American, UK, pretty much the politics of every other English speaking country that you don’t live in…

            Maybe you worry about Aussie politics first?

            Or not. I don’t give a fuck

            I’m blocking you the literal second I hit send on this.

            Because:

            we dont really have time for rubber neckers now

            Especially when they’re super fucking motivated to convince people the only option is the literal worst option.

      I feel being willing to admit there is a severe problem is a bit more important than remaining consistent. Now if he goes back to saying, “So long as I did my best, then no regrets”…

        Go back to saying that?

        When has he tried to take it back?

        It’s still out there because he meant it.

        They’re both true statement.
