it's so obnoxious they won't even have primaries. imagine how old he'll be in january 2029
-
The leading candidates will be 82 or 86 by then, either way we're WAY past the sell by date.
-
They can prop his dead body up in the Oval Office as long as Trump doesn’t get back in.

lol. Say whom? Seriously… the article doesn’t even have an author name.
Just another round of right-wing propaganda.
-
No article at the Economist has an author to keep the focus on the information, not the reporter. Overall it is a good news source.
-
Sounds pretty sketchy.

Checking for the author before deciding the validity of the contents is the result of propaganda

I guess that means it’s propaganda

This is not from the linked article, but speaks to it.
The problem that Dems have is that they continue only to offer aspirations. Hope. Dreams. Instead of addressing what we are. No, they're not going to fix racism in time for the election. But "we" are more than just racists or fascists. If Dems want to win they need to address the rest of what we are: broke. Sick. Overworked. Exploited. Isolated. Hope and dreams, maybes and mights aren't going to win them the election.
I’m pretty sure everyone who falls into those categories isn’t going to vote for Trump unless they’re already brainwashed—and there’s nothing we can do about that. We can “pray” Trump just dies of old age.
This assumption is part of the problem. No one said they'll vote for Trump, but there are a significant number of people in those categories who are disillusioned of the entire system and don't see any candidate offering real solutions or taking real meaningful action toward the drastic systemic change we really need.
This assumption that "if someone doesn't like Biden, they must like Trump," is the exact type of toxic tribalism that put Trump in office.
