    I really hate this timeline and it’s infuriating that the Biden admin seems to be so flippant about another Trump presidency. Yes Biden and Co. keep saying “Trump bad” but that’s it! FIGHT FOR US JOE! JFC! Give the people tangible policies to vote for. You should be running away with this vote against Trump.

      Give the people tangible policies to vote for.

      This is bad advice because that’s obviously not what’s attracting Trump voters. What Biden and the Democrats really need to do is give a reason for voters to shun the Republican party and Trump especially, or basically do what Republicans are doing to Democrats.

        If you can move the debate to actual policies, Dems will always win. Problem is the interest in presenting this as a horse race, and the focus on outrage quotes. That includes Lemmy- Politics where the few topics on actual policy get few upvotes, and activity.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The former president is currently on trial in New York over claims he falsified business records to conceal the payment of hush money to a former pornographic actress ahead of the 2016 presidential election, with the prosecution delivering its closing arguments on Tuesday.

    During this time, 372,689 respondents answered the question drawn from those who signed up to take part in Civiqs’ surveys, which the company says it monitors to provide a “representative sample” of the American population for each poll.

    Speaking to Newsweek, Mark Shanahan, an American politics expert who teaches at the University of Surrey in the U.K., said Biden was struggling to get his economic message to resonate with the public.

    "It will be worrying for his campaign that although Biden has been visible in the swing states, his rival, who has largely been stuck in a New York court room, is still seen to have more effective economic policies.

    When approached by Newsweek, a spokesperson for Civiqs said: "President Biden’s job approval rating is lower in the presidential battleground states than it is nationwide.

    Polling by Civiqs of 486,369 respondents online between January 20, 2021, and May 27, 2024, revealed President Joe Biden’s popularity in a number of the key states that could decide the 2024 presidential election was lower than in the country as a whole.

    Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is the most hated politician in America. He is the “most corrupt president in history”, according to Bernie Sanders, and “the worst president in history”, according to a presidential rating of hundreds of historians.

    Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

    https://www.npr.org/2022/07/22/1112138665/jan-6-committee-hearing-transcript

    …audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.

    Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]

    STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.

    He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
