“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.
“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.
I mean, maybe? But Jon Osseff is untested. A brand-new US Senator whose background hasn’t been scrutinized to the degree Biden’s has (and who largely remains clean). Quite a gamble. And before you mention Obama, Obama wasn’t hijacking an Incumbent presidency. Entirely different situation.
He ran against Hillary…
She had more party support than most incumbents.
And suddenly we’ve switched to Joe Biden fighting to win a primary from him begrudgingly taking the nomination because no one else can.
Giving voters a say in who they have to vote for in the general is never a bad thing. People feeling like they have no say in the primary are less likely to vote in the general
I don’t know what to say. Biden won; Hillary didn’t. And Ossef is no Obama. We’re in a shitty situation with no good data-backed solutions.
At the end of the day, nobody stopped anyone from running a primary against Biden.
Lol, yeah, the blacklisting stopped when the DNC stopped publicly announcing it.
Biden himself said there’s a bunch of other options, so if I’m wrong so is Biden.
Stop defending someone by disagreeing with them, listen to what they say instead of just rationalizing with whatever you assume
And do t expect me to try and help you understand anything else.
There’s a hefty amount of cognitive dissonance if you’re saying I’m disagreeing with Biden, and yet, Biden chose to not step down and run for a lack of anyone else throwing their hat in the ring. So how, exactly, am I disagreeing with Biden? These are not mutually-exclusive.
lol ok. You continue speculating on blind hypotheticals and I’ll just focus on reality of what is. Nobody of substance threw their hat in the ring; Biden chose to continue running despite also saying others could beat Trump. These are facts. Don’t expect me to help you understand anything else.
