Biden warns of a 'nightmare' future for the country if Trump should win again, and lists reasons why

President Joe Biden on Sunday ticked through a list of reasons he says a second Donald Trump presidency would be a “nightmare” for the country as he urged Nevada Democrats to vote for him in the state’s presidential primary this week and for his party at large in November.

Biden opened a campaign swing with a fundraiser where he focused on Trump’s ample history of provocative statements — his description of Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages,” his musing about a former top military officer deserving execution, his branding of fallen soldiers as “suckers” and “losers,” his wish to be a Day One “dictator,” his vow to supporters that “I am your retribution,” and more.

Then it was on to a community center in a predominantly Black section of Las Vegas, where he told his crowd of several hundred that “you’re the reason we’ll make Donald Trump a loser again.”

Biden said the stakes were huge when he took on Trump in 2020 — “what made America America, I thought, was at risk’ — and they are even larger now as a likely rematch looms.

Trump could cut a baby's head off on live TV and he would still get an ass ton of votes from Republicans. They are completely indoctrinated.
- The Bible is full of baby killing. They'd probably be more convinced that he's God's chosen.

- Biden could provide the weapons and money to kill 36000.palestinians and his followers would still say the other guy is more dangerous.
  
  I know it's hard to hold 2 seemingly contradictory truths in your head at the same time. It is, however, possible to be a Republican that doesn't support Trump and a Democrat that doesn't support Biden. Neither party is a monolith. If you got out more and talk to people, you'd realize that.
  
  That's very true. Because the other guy would provide the same money and weapons, and also do all that other crime and corruption stuff he loves so much.
  
  Found the MAGAt. Keep supporting your dictator, fascist.
I don't think Republicans care about what Trump did. Trump is the favorite to win the republican nomination and its not even close. And Republicans sure as shit aren't voting for Biden.
- I think he's trying to get swing and less like to vote votes, not appeal to the loony party
  
  Youre correct, this message isnt for the GQP, this message is for those that dont want to go out and vote
- There is a growing group of never-Trump Republicans that have already stated that they will vote for Biden if Trump wins the nomination. The party at the top though is on board 100% though as they see Trump as their ticket to power, and none of them actually want to believe he will gut the party if he wins since he will no longer need them post election.
- It's Bush Syndrome.
  Where, Bush is just simply the dumb puppet who's allowed to do and say whatever he wants. All the while, the Republican crooks do their work behind his back.
  
  Trump was supposed to be a puppet like Bush. While he was for things like appointing judges, he definitely went off the rails and hijacked the party. The senior leadership certainly didn't want Jan 6th happening.
  Trump is no puppet. He lashes out randomly, and sicks his mob on anyone that opposes him.
- Well that's exactly the point. Why waste time and energy on a lost cause? It's equally as absurd that there are swing voters to me, but hey, some people don't even know an election is happening soon.
  
  Elections are decided by swing voters.
  40% will always vote down their line regardless of what is presented to them. Those few thousand people willing to switch sides will always determine the path of the country, which is why such enormous resources are sent to court them.
- Trump is the favorite to win the republican nomination and its not even close.
  Trump is also leading against Biden in poll after poll now, so they don't see any reason to switch horses.
Also trump is a rapist and directly convinced voting officials to forge documents and mail them in.
Not a great look for American democracy, which boy, doesn't need any more dirt on its nose.
The rail union contract expires this year meaning they can strike in 2025.
If Biden is serious about how dangerous Trump is he should promise to back the rail unions and veto any legislation which would block their ability to strike. That's a small price to pay for democracy and would cement his legacy as the most pro-union president in history.
- They should really just strike anyway if that dumb fuck does win.
  Everyone should.
  
  honestly they should just strike anyway, "lol you put a ~~law~~ block against striking? good luck training scabs for the entire industry"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Biden opened a campaign swing with a fundraiser where he focused on Trump’s ample history of provocative statements — his description of Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages,” his musing about a former top military officer deserving execution, his branding of fallen soldiers as “suckers” and “losers,” his wish to be a Day One “dictator,” his vow to supporters that “I am your retribution,” and more.
He told donors at the private home in Henderson, Nevada, that if they came to Washington, he’d show them the White House dining room table where Trump, according to ex-aides, sat transfixed for hours in front of the TV as the rioters he’d fired up with his rhetoric stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung responded in kind, saying Biden “has been a nightmare for this country in just three short years in the White House, and no amount of gaslighting will make Americans forget about all the misery and destruction he has brought.”
Nevada has a stark rural-urban divide, with more than 88% of active registered voters — and much of its political power — in the two most populous counties, which include the Las Vegas and Reno metro areas.
The president also has championed the defense of abortion rights, recently holding his first big campaign rally, in Virginia, where the issue energized Democrats who won control of the state’s House of Delegates.
As early voting began a week ago in Nevada, Trump asserted without evidence during a campaign rally in Las Vegas that he was the victim of the Biden administration’s weaponizing law enforcement against him.
The original article contains 929 words, the summary contains 268 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
One headline to anger both the youngest and oldest generations.
If Biden took a hard stance against the Palestinian Genocide with serious consequences, and if Biden put through an Executive Order on Marijuana or at least replaced the DEA officials who are taking his entire term to reschedule it, then Biden would probably be polling at least 20 or 30 percentage points higher than he is.
Somehow 44% of US Citizens in some polls will say Republicans are better for the economy, despite the mountain of evidence otherwise, but only 36% would say Democrats are better for the economy. With Economy consistently polling as the biggest political issue to the general public. He could improve his polling by simply walking around with a picket fence sign that has one of many economic charts on it showing that he reversed the negative trends brought on by the Trump Admin and the Pandemic.
If he wins over trump again, I really hope they at least attempt to block the "omg x is so bad vote for me" political campaigns. Imagine, campaigns would have to actually say why the everyday voter should vote for the candidate instead of "lol orange man bad" or "blue man will keel over mid campaign" I vaugly remember presidential campaigns used to be that way, but I could be misremembering as I didn't have the ability to vote then.
- I really hope they at least attempt to block the “omg x is so bad vote for me” political campaigns.
  Why? It'll be a proven winning formula.
  I'm more annoyed because "Don't vote for the other guy, they're the worst!!!" campaigns basically never succeed. If you've got nothing in your platform, screaming about the opposition being the Antichrist mostly just turns your own base off voting entirely.
  At some point you have to deliver the goods to your constituents. Trump's people know that if he takes office, he's going to start handing out treats to them left and right. They're enthusiastic.
  Biden voters are utterly depressed. They know if he wins they'll continue to get ignored and denounced as insufficiently loyal. They know they'll get blamed for his loss no matter how hard they work (just like Bernie got blamed for Clinton, after busting his ass on her behalf).
  If Biden can win on that platform, what is the take away? Abuse your idiot voters. Only take. Never give. They'll love you for it anyway, because you're not the Other Guy.
  Only by losing do Democrats realize they actually have to produce something for their base.
  
  That's more or less what I'm saying. I don't vote because I don't like the other one, I vote because I believe that the candidate has the potential to do things that are more invested towards my values.
  So if your entire campaign is about shunning the other guy it doesn't mean I'm going to vote for the other guy but it also sure as hell doesn't mean I'm going to vote for you. If I see no value in the candidate I'm just not going to vote or if there is a party that does represent my values then I will vote for that one. I believe that a good portion of my generation feels the same. This current cycle I believe will be the last one that's able to adequately use this tactic because the concerns are absolutely real this time around so it's dangerous to not participate but I can foresee if this ends up being the campaign strategy during the next cycle that it's not going to work
While it is nice he did that, there is no use in listing reasons why, because the people who would need to learn them are exactly those who cannot cope with reason from the start.
trump is so scary that we're re-animating the corpse of cy young to pitch against him. this is good strategy
Genocide Joe's only campaign promise.
