President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.

    No. Bringing in fresh blood now would only confuse people and ruin his political brand. Biden is the only person who can beat Trump at this point. Not voting, or voting for Trump because you think Biden is too old for the job is asinine. Trump is literally 3 years younger than Biden.

      I don’t think he’s too old.

      I think he’s too incompetent.

      His own SecDef was out of pocket for a week without telling him. His DoJ took over two and a half years to recover heavily classified materials from Trump- and they’re still missing one of the single most sensitive binders Trump had access to.

      It nearly took 3 years for Trump to face the possibility of consequences for his insurrection, and as it stands we might not get convictions until after he is elected.

      I don’t think he’s too old- I think he’s too out of touch with the majority of American voters. Make no bones about it- he’s a conservative in democrat clothing- republicans have shifted so far right they’re now regressive and he happily slid into their old space.

      I think he’s too worried about protecting Israel and not worried enough about building climate resilience in the US, and too worried about his image and not worried enough about them whole Fascists Using Political Violence thing.

      In short, I think another Biden administration is going to be the end of America. Not the same end that would happen with Trump …. But Biden ain’t on a path to save America either.
