Pretty sad to see people posting "jokes" about the likely candidate for the Democratic party in the US election.

And who is being served by those "jokes" and "memes"?

Yes, you bet, the opposition, lead by a despicable man, unqualified and unstable, widely perceived as a narcissist and worse by mental health professionals.

The "jokes" end up on some of the hash tags included in their posts, in company of assorted Twitter bot reposts here, all working for the same opposition team.

US pol is disgusting.

Don't be Played by these people.

@matrix LOL, this one I don't mind, and it's actually funny. :)

The ones with Bidden touching young girls are cringe-worthy though.

@design_RG

The fact that its cringe worthy I think should tell us he isnt fit to president. Its not like they are faked or manipulated, its literally just footage of him doing what he does best.

BTW Biden is a friend of the family, he has been over my family home for dinner and spent the night in the past (as have Trump's kids actually)...

Trust me when I say Biden is as much the opposition as Trump is :)

It's worrisome that the choice seems to be turning into a contest between him (with all the failings, and lack of excitement, proposals that attract younger voters, etc) or the man currently residing at the White House.

Gosh, that's ghastly.

As someone has mentioned in this thread, it's possible some of Bernie's supporters get pissed off and abstain from voting all together, easing the Orange Menace back in again. That is a nightmare, imo.

I agree the whole thing is nasty.

The truth is, Trump is by far one of the worst presidents we ever had in the history of the USA, there is no excuse for him to be president.

With that said despite how easy it would be to win against someone like Trump, with just a iota of decency and good policy it would be a landslide, yet somehow the DNC couldnt produce a single candidate able to come even close to passing the primaries that stands a chance of beating Trump.

As far as I'm concerned whether Bernie or Biden win, Trump has already won.

Biden is creepy and talks like he is senile. The videos of him groping random women already garuntee he wont win.

Sanders is an extremist with abysmal policies that would be devastating to the USA, but more importantly is his extremism. The swing vote is for moderates and you cant win them with extremism.

So in my mind regardless who it is Trump has won.

If anyone other than Bernie, Sanders, or Warren had won the DNC bid I would have said they have a chance, but they dont.

The DNC took all the tactics they used last election that caused them to lose (exaggeration, lying, polarization, and extremism) and doubled down on it, and now they will loose again.

Its sad and disgusting that the USA cant even get a half decent politician anywhere near a ballot...
