me putting on the conspiracy theory hat and wildly gesturing like a crank

What if the DNC purposely never wanted Biden but waited until after it was too late for primaries so they can handpick the actual candidate they want at the DNC convention and purposely pushed him to have a debate with Trump knowing that Biden would eat shit?

Jesus fucking christ I've never seen a picture of the man before. He looks like Satan would look in a hollywood drama.

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

He looks oddly like Geert Wilders

I thought the Dems had fucked themselves by backing genocide Joe but newsome is the one Democratic politician that could actually win. Does it change anything for me. Not really. I'm just here for the show

Not the only one, Whitmer would walk the dog with Trump.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Whitmer is also good but newsome appeals more to men since America is so patriarchal I'd think he'd have a better chance

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

I could see that, but I'm not convinced it would make or break things.

His recent meeting with Xi makes me think he might not be as hostile towards China as the other two have been but that’s more likely wishful thinking

Looking forward to half of Hexbear arguing we should vote for Gavin in order to do "Harm Reduction" just like they did last election for Joe.

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Please no. I hope we're past that. Please. Please can we just PPB folks like that and ban them and move on.

Respectfully, comrade, nowhere near half of hexbear was advocating for Biden as the harm reduction candidate. There were some posters here and there who might have said that but the overwhelming majority of the site, like 97%, was saying “fuck these guys I’m not voting for either”.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

It felt like much more than 3% of the site arguing for Biden after he got the nom

The lanyard nerds would absolutely prefer this outcome (particularly if they're mad at Biden screeching YOU WERENT ELECTED at them when they bring up reality) far more than the possibility of a real primary and having to pull another hoodwink on bernie's old ass a third time

This is how Bernie can still win. His good friend Biden will hand pick him as his successor

spoilerbut then he'll lose becsuse none of us will vote for him after he hitched himself to Genocide Joe
