A Divided America Agrees: We Deserve Better Than This

  • The latest national poll (www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/us...) from The New York Times and Siena College shows former President Donald J. Trump leading President Biden by nine percentage points among registered voters - a pretty big shift in his direction in the week since the presidential debate.
    It has become clear in the past week that there is no obvious path to replacing Mr. Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee. But there is a strong desire among Americans for something different.
    We heard that directly from voters we met last week in Kenosha, Wis., at a gathering of a group called Braver Angels. It’s a nonpartisan organization that finds common ground across political divisions, and it proved a perfect focus group after the debate.
    We asked these deeply engaged citizens, who had chosen to spend their free time debating policy and politics, how they were feeling about their options for president in November.
    Their perspective reinforced the gap that this unique political moment has exposed between voters and party leaders.
    The questions are: Has Mr. Biden’s debate performance made the continuation of his campaign untenable? And what, if anything, should happen next?
    Do you have a question about the 2024 election? We want to hear from you. Fill out this form (www.nytimes.com/article/2024-...) or email us at therunup@nytimes.com (mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=...)

    All these people bitched their way through two primaries about how Bernie Sanders was "too old" only to vote for a man the exact same age, clearly in advancing stages of Alzheimer's al the way back in 2019, and spend 4 years telling us he's really only 30 and has a photographic memory. Meanwhile we could be in a 7th year of a Sanders administration with universal healthcare, housing rights and $15 minimum wage-- not to mention not be fomenting nuclear wars with Russia and the middle east. When are people going to finally hold the Democrats and the liberal media machine accountable for screwing us over?!

      @@Please654 I’ll clarify my position - Trump as president was a disaster. He quickly made the US the shame of the international community. Over 400,000 people died under his watch during the COVID-19 pandemic due to fumbled handling in the early days. He racked up nearly $8T in debt. His tax scam for the rich cost the public millions. His border wall plan was a fringe, lunatic waste of money. He was essentially a mouthpiece for Putin at various international summits. The United States cannot afford another Trump presidency.

      @@wjfox2006 he still shoots hoops on weekends, rallies across the country fighting the food fight, and maintains high cognitive ability during live and long-form interviews. How is that too old? Old age but not old as in diminishing.
      The reason this is best case scenario is for one, he's got the overwhelming support (if say much more than trump) especially among his peers. He would obviously only have 1 term, during that term he would def put a woman as VP. That VP would have a drastically higher presence than any other VP in history. Why you ask? Because he would want to propel them into an actually successful bid in 2028. Right now with the state of things, if Kamala were to be put up, she would be demolished l. She's not been given credence the entire time Biden's been in and her record/resume beyond that is pitiful - 1 term in Congress and a contentious time as an attorney. It's just not material enough against the likes and risks with trump.
      Also, much of the praised output of the Biden admin was watered down Bernie policy anyway. It's popular (albeit lightweight from establishment Dems) and they know it. But diluted simply won't cut it, people can clearly see that. We might as well have the OG himself. And to anyone that thinks 'hes too extreme' don't worry, the oligarchs won't let him have too much regardless; Bernie fights for going the mile while knowing damn well if we only get 3% of the way that that's good, it's progress in the right direction.
      So, a for-sure bet now while the skillet is on fire, propping up VP for a real future's chance, and doing good populist policy for at a minimum of 4 years...this will all make the Dems look good, they'll actually output what they claim stake to for a change.

    Parties have a monopoly on candidate choices. We choose between the trash they allow us to. Saw it first hand in 2016 in Philly. The media is a key player in that monopoly. "Spin room"? Doesn't get more on the nose than that, kids. Since what we have is largely exclusive to the public will, it seems the ONLY chance at breaking that cycle is to supplant those structures by way of alternatives.

    I don't understand why American voters seem to place so much attention on individual candidates and how they make them feel, rather than discussing policy or a larger political vision for the country. I wish we could have more political formats discussing policy proposals like Project 2025, tax reform or the success (or failure) of bills like the Chips Act, Infrastructure Bill or Inflation Reduction Act. Those would affect the average American far more than how a candidate presents him or herself, and might have a chance of rendering a better roster of candidates as well. Perhaps a bit of a meandering point, but would be interested to hear what people think.

Ideally we'd all be tuned into these major bills and policies that affect our lives and our future, but people are busy and tired and they don't care to dive into the complex machinations of congressional bills and government initiatives.

The importance of history or unimportance of history is embarrassing. How little so many people know about past events and how they affect today…. history is filled with examples of autocrats using existing Democratic freedoms to gain power only to form a dictatorship where independence of the media, the right to change the existing government by free and fair elections and freedom of individual opinion and protest are violently repressed.
      Instead they want simple solutions to complicated problems like closing the border like deporting, illegal aliens like tariffs on imports, like removing checks and balances in our government, with the false assumption by punishing others or removing opposition that their lives will get better…….without giving one iota of thought that this policy, is designed to create a one party state and is militarizing the police for future action against other civilians in the United States that are not here illegally, and that simply disagree with the policy of our government.
      For those who think I am weaving a fairytale or I’m making a big deal out of nothing. Please look at any Trump rally or MAGA event where people who have different opinions have been identified by Trump or the crowd.

    President Biden and snicker at him. It’s terribly upsetting. I wonder how could his family and the Democrats do this to him. I hope my family never 👎 does that to me. I’m not a Biden supporter, but he’s our president and we should do better at showing him greater respect . This being said, I’m voting for Donald J. Trump. President Biden’s best days are gone. His time is over. President Biden RIP.

    The notion that we "deserve better than this" is entitled and delusional. Functional democracy takes work, which we have failed to do. Our collective fractious division, hubris, laziness, selfish greed and willful ignorance has delivered us to this moment. Functional democracy requires access to accurate information and an informed citizenry. It must be responsive to the needs and desires of that citizenry and relies on social cohesion to uphold it. We have none of those things. Functional democracy is fully incompatible with extreme wealth inequality, yet wealth inequality has never been higher. Since we can't sustain a social environment conducive to functional democracy, our democracy has withered. In this regard we have exactly what we deserve.

      "Blue" does not mean "Democrat." It identifies (as the reporter says) the delegate as "left-leaning." But where do you get that she wasn't a Democrat? Because she's questioning her original choice, not towing the party line? I was there, sitting not far from this delegate. Her name is Cory. I have a ton of respect for the way she thinks independently and acts on her convictions. You can view and hear her in a recording of the Friday morning session: 2:34:00 ua-cam.com/video/nnzD4UxAZ_0/v-deo.html. But there were plenty of democrats of all varieties.
