MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

- Trump and his supporters are slamming Joe Biden for quitting the race and endorsing Kamala Harris.
- Some members of MAGA world are bemoaning the millions of dollars spent running against Joe Biden.
- Biden's withdrawal also means Trump is now the oldest candidate in the presidential race.
Incidentally, there's a bunch of people on Lemmy really mad that they can't tell everyone not to vote for Biden anymore. They'll tell us not to vote for whoever is going to be his replacement though.
Eh, their new dissent orders seem to be "Biden can't appoint Harris! I didn't vote for her!" which, of course, displays a total lack of knowledge about what primaries are and what the DNC is.
They didn't want Biden to run, and now they mysteriously don't want the person most of the party supports to run either.
Right? It’s almost as if they’ve never been approaching any of this in good faith.
Almost like they want Trump to win, hmmmmmm
I'm seeing a lot of "wHat AbOuT A pRimArY" already from the usual bad actors.
The uptick in those types of accounts makes this site start to feel like 2016 reddit 😂. Lemmy has become large enough to justify investment of bots to brigade and astroturf; we've made it!
I've seen iterations of "the Democrats stabbed Biden in the back!" too many times on here over the past 24 hours for it to be a coincidence
Well we are talking about right wingers here, kinda par for the course. :P
Get ready to repeat this: "The Biden of today is not the Biden who was voted for in the primaries." Even Biden himself acknowledged that by stepping aside as candidate!
You know what I’m not seeing?
ANY of these accounts that were so relentless in their criticism of Biden and how he needed to step down because otherwise the Democrats would lose, being simply happy about this.
ALL of the tentative happiness about Harris maybe being a stronger candidate than Biden was, is coming from people who were either neutral or defending Biden before. The people who were giving a firehose of criticism to Biden and demanding that it was MANDATORY for him to step down, for the good of the Democrats and the country, have for the most part fallen silent, and a whole new grouping has arisen to give criticism to Harris and say that as good progressives they could never vote for a cop.
I was one of them and now am elated to vote for a non-geriatric piece of shit and a woman.
Really? I've seen plenty of posts like that. Stuff like "Donated to the democratic party to show this was necessary", "Finally, we can safely roast Trump for being old and senile", "I don't care who the replacement is, thank god he's out".
There are some shit-stirrers, but they seem to be the minority.
Disclaimer: I am not American, cannot vote or donate, am heavily invested in the election due to the ramifications on Ukraine.
I'm happy AF.
Biden's legacy is secure. He can rest easy as the man who beat back the right-wing fascist autocracy and led the country to elect the first female president. 🤞
Yeah, they can't take two seconds to enjoy the victory they wanted. They have to move on to the next thing to bitch and moan about.
Wasn't rabid before, but I was one of those for Biden stepping down in favor of Kamala. I just wanted a strong voice that was capable of at least countering Trump's endless spew of lies. But I have noticed those that are now bashing Kamala were also telling people not to vote for Biden.
They’re waiting on the next talking points from their Russian overlords. Give it a day or so and they’ll be back with some new, yet all the same, arguments.
You know my history regarding Biden. Go on, check my history since Biden did the right thing and dropped out. I'm still posting and not so much as an unkind word about Harris. Biden did the right thing. The party did the right thing. I'm overjoyed that for the first fucking time in far too goddamned long, Democrats listened instead of digging in their heels and demanding votes, every pore reeking of entitled paternalist condescension.
You were wrong. Your shitty candidate bowed out like you didn't want him to, and just look. The party has very much gotten in line behind Kamala. The predicted chaos and infighting hasn't happened. She's had the best fundraising in US history simply by being the understudy who was present at the time and not being Biden.
Have you considered that it's because they're finally satisfied? At least for now? Harris is a reasonable compromise candidate. Biden wasn't, and he listened to reason and bowed out. We're better for it.
Democrats are a big tent. Some of us don't like genocide. Some of us don't like cops. Some of us don't like either. Harris is in a better position to distance herself from past actions than Biden was about ongoing actions.
She ran on full cannabis legalization in 2020 and was a sponsor of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020. It ain't gonna stick.
I'm glad Biden dropped out.
Are you?
Idk how this season is going to end but the writers have definitely been building toward something.
I am one of those accounts who wanted Biden to step aside. Not because I dislike him but because he was going to lose. Now I have hope. I've been smiling since Saturday afternoon.
I mean, in both cases people are entitled to their honest opinions. I'm going to vote for her, but I'm not happy about it. Not being happy about her her career pre-whitehouse seems fairly reasonable to me.
Right here!
lol that's a really broad extrapolation of what, a few people you saw that happened to post something in the last day? Just boldly labeling anyone who had a criticism of Biden as a bitter troll or something?
Me, 22 days ago
At this point, I guess she's a better pick than Biden, just not by much.
I still want an open convention, and someone else.
Ozma in pieces right now...
You'd think so, but they already have moved on to "don't vote for Harris" posts.
What is ozma?
Already happening. They're testing the waters to see what's going to stick.
Oh I know.
While I never told anyone not to vote for Biden, I definitely openly bitched about him not being capable of speaking and the absolute joke it is. I'm not a fan of Harris, but my God, a sentient adult is amazing.
Sorta the same here. I didn't openly say anything and I'm voting blue but when he called Zelensky putin and Kamala trump I internally slumped my shoulders.
Oh yeah I've been called a fascist already because I said I'd vote for Harris and that while she isn't the best candidate she will be leagues better than Biden imo.
Everything they already pinned on Joe (like mainly Israel) they can pin on her because she was part of the same administration. Plus they will now also point at things from her past, like history as a criminal prosecutor, and blame her for that as well. Since that won’t align with progressive criminal reform agenda. And they might call her a race traitor as well, just for good measure. Should be interesting to see what the tankies and communists come up with.
Your argument is bizarre. Please explain why someone wouldn't use "things from her past" to inform their vote. You use the word "blame" as though she is a victim of her own decisions.
I don't know a single communist who would call someone a race traitor. That's nuts and your anger is very misdirected.
is there any evidence for this claim at all?
You ignore the rest of us who have, weird to only pretend one side exists
I guess I wasn't talking about you then, was I?
But do please explain why I shouldn't have ignored the people I wasn't criticizing when I was criticizing another group. Is this some weird 'both sides' thing?
