"Now, President Biden is turning one of his predecessor's favorite insults against him, using his first two campaign speeches of the year to pointedly label Trump a loser.
'Losers are taught to concede when they lose," Biden said on Monday, noting that Trump violated a basic principle of American democracy by refusing to concede the 2020 election. "And he's a loser.'"
I honestly think loser works better Fat or stupid may have grains of truth which the narcissist will deny, it leads to deflection and outrage, sure - but not like loser. Loser is such a simple, weak insult... But it is antithetical to the self image of the narcissist. They, in their own minds, are winners almost by tautology. It's the number one tenet to which they cling; they're the best better than others. Loser is such a lazy way to completely decimate that self image; they can't tolerate it
My dads a bipolar psychotic ptsd veteran sociopath with narcissistic personality disorder, ive almost killed his ass a couple times. But anyways calling him Fat really sets him off, i call him a loser all the time, but you throw fat on there, yeehaw its fighten time!
Yeah, that's how I feel. I'm not his biggest fan. He's done more than I thought he would, but you can't stop wanting to push for better. Complacency kills.
one of the reasons the US is so far behind in the tech curve is that this place is run by rich, white, old southern racist assholes. lets do a new zeland and put some 30 year old ladies in charge.
He's not gonna have to push too hard, Trump is spewing more vile shit then he did yesterday and now with another verdict against him, will spew a lot worse vile shit tomorrow! He's losing his mind in hate and syphilis.
Is that young Joe Biden? You know with as much as the republicans have forced me to see his sons penis I do wonder if part of Trumps rage is just knowing that the physical thing he uses to define his own masculinity is likely hugely inferior to the guy who took his job and presided over record setting stock market etc, etc, etc
If Trump is ever forced to pay Carroll or if he is ever convicted and sentenced to prison or if he is declared ineligible for public office I believe he will probably kill himself.
Well, Trump will have to put up that $83 million in a bond, plus interest just to appeal. The same with that 5 million from the first trial he has to put up $5m to appeal and interest for the length of the appeal. So it's going to hurt him for awhile just to appeal
Reality would have to set in first. A narcissist creates their own reality where they are the hero and the victim. He could be years in club fed, and still thinking he's a mafia boss running the GOP from the inside. Like Maab from Merlin, the best reality check for him would be if people stopped giving a shit about him. It would have to be all his supporters and allies turning their backs on him. But he wouldn't off himself. He'd just get super bitter.
It's the only way to get at a MAGAtard, pick a few personal things and continually needle them about it. Don't get long winded, don't stray, just hammer home 2 or 3 things over and over and over.
Job 1 is defeating Trump and the MAGA creeps. Biden is what we have right now. Hey, college Leftists - Netanyahu likes Trump MORE than Biden. In between your keggers, try to remember this.
It took them long enough. The Dems have been on their heels, succeeding like crazy at actual governance, while failing miserably at messaging and counteracting the Republican propaganda for years. Troll that treasonous fuck into implicating himself in more crimes. Get him to walk himself right to prison!
I think the messaging problem is inherent to the party and its constituency. Specifically, people like me are to blame. I know I distrust charisma and pithy slogans from politicians and want long, boring, policy speeches. Charisma actively makes me dismiss a candidate as 'non serious'. But, it does seem that for a lot of voters, this sort of thing matters. It baffles me, but nevertheless here we are.
Yes I agree. I assumed the Dems didn't want to stoop to Trumps level but rather take the higher ground. But you are right, if they would have just to fought fire with fire early on, Trump could have long been incinerated by now. Love always wins man just watch
I don't agree. Trumps whole life is a dumpster fire. Anyone else. Literally ANYONE else would take all the heat that's been brewing around Donnie and just disappear into non existence. Not only has trump stayed the course, he's running again, and he's winning. Fire isnt the answer.
Nah. They were just waiting until campaign season. It's easier to energize your base and keep it stoked for 11 months than it is to keep it energized for 48 months. Americans have a short attention span, we'd lose interest in that time frame.
The reason this slogan and it's repugnant grammatical error was chosen: Michelle Obama's prior public awareness campaign was entitled, "Be better." This ignorant, inaccurate attempt at one oneupmanship is a pretty good example of that administration's mentality. No substance, but an abundance of small-minded hate.
"Twitter users were quick to point out similarities they saw between Melania’s program and Michelle's work — such as the resemblance between Melania’s “Be Best” slogan and Michelle’s “Be better” line of advice to men, from 2016’s White House United State of Women Summit." ... so, no?
It will continue on for decades with more and more people exposing Donald's corruption and immorality, as long as it doesn't expose themselves. Unless the GOP seizes power at all levels and suppresses more than they already do.
Legally-acknowledged rapist. The "convicted" part comes out of a criminal trial & his was civil. Still, you can call him a rapist all you want & not get sued!
The sticker I got from an Imgur promo event & the mug I ordered off of Amazon. I was going to buy it from Biden’s campaign website but they were asking a bit much. He’ll get my vote instead.
I bet he already had one. That apoplectic little turd is unhealthy as hell, loaded with drugs, and dumb as a rock. He was recently seen dragging his foot around, and he is making speeches more inherent than his usual word salad face diarrhea. I just want him to die in prison.
It wastes taxpayer dollars and court time away from more important things. And it also keeps his cultists hoping. They could theoretically storm the prison and break him out and do an actual coup. Not that there are enough actual brave MAGA cultists to do something like that.
Keeping that shit stain in prison and away from the spotlight is not a waste of taxpayer dollars. It's money well spent. And let the cultists keep hoping. Hoping for nothing can be a painful experience. And if they try to storm the prison, well, we saw how successful they were the last time they stormed a building, only I would guess, prison guards won't go as easy on them as the capitol police did, and a prison would be much harder to breach.
Like how he managed to find the lowish high road all the time is an art form, not too high road to take his shit and say nothing, not too low road to end up in the mud
Yeah, so far I think he's maybe been better than Obama. Getting tired of ppl saying he's just the least of two evils when he's done a lot of excellent shit.
Welll....i might be way off track here, but when they call him the lesser of two evils I think they're referring him to his abetting the large-scale bombardment and displacement of millions of innocent Palestinians and the murder of 25,000 and counting, including 10,000 kids.
I mean, that's a big one, and deeply inexcusable. We need to do what we can to try and prevent that genocide, and shouldn't get too comfortable being so much "pro-Biden" instead of being in favor of a host of progressive policies (whose best chances come from a second Biden term). Though, speaking as a massive online lefty socialist, a lot of online lefties were fucking rigid at the thought of conflating Biden with Republicans even before the current situation/focus regarding Palestine.
People ignore the fact that Congress is what's needed to accomplish most of the shit they want, or the fact that there's a lot of voters out there that just aren't convinced to support the priorities of the left, which is why they haven't been voting in for a Progressive Congress, much as I might wish otherwise.
Me too. And as much as I do, I would never cover my car in Biden stickers and decals. I don't fly a Biden flag ... and my identity isn't defined and shaped by him. If you didn't know me, you wouldn't know who I support.
He's been mostly good... The enthusiastic support of isreal has been a rather large stain, tbh, its expected but dissapointing none the less. But other then that he has been pretty good (i think there was also a railworker strike that he broke up which sucked) but he has been pretty pro union, pushing for possative change fixing a lot of trumps bullshit and doing good, i guess when you expect nothing you get pleasently supprised
It's not enthusiastic support, it's a realist foreign policy instead of the hysterics trap many people on social media fall into. Actually read into it and you'll find out that he's a positive force of influence on Israel the entire time, for as much as the Netanyahu government tries to deny that. What he is not, contrary to the expectations/demands of some, is a person who can just order the Israeli government to do what he wants.
He has been pretty damn effective at actual governance. I am consistently shocked when I hear progressives complain about him: dude has accomplished a TON.
He's supposed to improve things. He doesn't get a gold star just for doing what he's supposed to and I don't feel the need to support him unconditionally bc the standards of our country are so low that anything positive he does makes him look good. I'll always be critical of the potus bc they are here to work for us and that means his failures are fair game. He's still a corporate/AIPAC shill at the end of the day.
I like Biden, he’s exceeded my expectations but goddamn he’s too old man, I just want him to enjoy us twilight years and let a young buck give it a run, though admittedly the stable doesn’t have anything promising
I am a little worried about him dying in office, the stress of the presidency gets to everyone and he will be like 86 when the next term ends. I reallllly am not a fan of Kamala, she used trumps rhetoric during the debates, just shit talked instead of talking policy.
to be completely fair, the bar was so low he could literally sit there and do absolutely nothing his entire presidency after trump, and because he didn't fuck anything up by touching it or attempting to 'solve' it, would still have been considered a better president. that said he actually did and was so competent, most conservative talking heads struggle to find any genuine fault with him to spin negatively.
That's actually a really good question. While I dispise it, us Americans tend to love the dirty and nitty-gritty. Trump is all of that. We sit here and focus on how awful he is instead of the actual "boring" impactful stuff Biden is doing. This presidency has been uneventful for me personally and a lot of Americans are taking it as just that without thinking beyond themselves.
Because competent governance is a good thing but not very interesting. Whereas the rantings of a narcissistic geriatric with visible signs of advanced syphilis who inexplicably leads the opposing party in defiance of all logic makes for great memes.
I'd guess because IMGUR leans further left than mainstream U.S. politics by a fair margin, and tend to complain about Trump (and sometimes about Biden) more than focusing on Biden's achievements. But you'll still find some in usersub.
It's because 'leftists'(for lack of a better word) seem to view progress as a zero sum game where you either accomplish everything and make the world a perfect place immediately or you're a complete failure who never did anything good and actually you're evil.
Yup. "The perfect is the enemy of the good." Do i want equal rights and treatment for everyone? You bet. Will i spend 20 years fighting against people who want to make incremental progress towards that goal because it's not good enough and end up in the same place in 20 years with nothing accomplished? You bet not. Do you think we'd even be TALKING about trans rights if gay rights hadn't improved, year or year, for the last few decades? You "move the needle" as much as you can. Then move it more
Literally this. So many people on imgur get SO angry when you dare point out that the world has improved. Oh? Child poverty is at record lows? Well, it still exists so all that process is meaningless!
They are accelerationists, much like the far far right. They want the current system to be undone because they believe it will usher in the world as they believe it should be.
The border crisis and Israel bothers me because I can see people suffering. People, in the case of the border, that he promised to help. And instead of helping them his administration has actively worked to keep title 42 going, has implemented a new broken system when criticized for maintaining Trump's border policies, has denied a fucking genocide in the UN, and continues to arm Netanyahu with tax payer money. These are not small issues and blowing them aside because "the economy" is obscene.
Yeah but also much of that is on Congress and previous administrations(not even just Trump). Biden has done a lot to try and stop the situation in Gaza from spiraling (or even starting) but the sad thing is that he doesn't actually have a lot of control or ways that won't make things worse. It's literally the hardest foreign policy problem in the world.
Trump would be worse is just a metric I'm not okay with using for world leaders. You can vote for Biden and still hold him accountable for the pain he's caused and the promises he's broken.
That doesn't make him good. Being better than shit isn't being good. His administration has done a lot that's commendable, but he's also broken a lot of promises and spit in the face of his supporters.

Do you score votes by complaining about the other guy? or by highlighting these results and the benefits for the voter?
Taxian
Depends on your view of politics? I'd imagine a bit of both.

When T was in office, we could follow everything here. Today still so. But very few post of JB results Dem's need to op their publicity !

Politics in the US seems to focus on bad press. So, the worse a politician is the more you hear about them. You'd think it would be vice versa

As a completely ignorant european - can you summarise what he has acomplished? Im so out of the loop...

If you do things right.... no one will ever even notice. Do things wrong..... well.... you know.

It's because 'leftists'(for lack of a better word) seem to view progress as a zero sum game where you either accomplish everything and make the world a perfect place immediately or you're a complete failure who never did anything good and actually you're evil.

It’s a pose. If Biden used trans death squads to impose luxury gay space communism the cosplay socialists would be yelling “splitter!”

Yup. "The perfect is the enemy of the good." Do i want equal rights and treatment for everyone? You bet. Will i spend 20 years fighting against people who want to make incremental progress towards that goal because it's not good enough and end up in the same place in 20 years with nothing accomplished? You bet not. Do you think we'd even be TALKING about trans rights if gay rights hadn't improved, year or year, for the last few decades? You "move the needle" as much as you can. Then move it more

Literally this. So many people on imgur get SO angry when you dare point out that the world has improved. Oh? Child poverty is at record lows? Well, it still exists so all that process is meaningless!

It's why the hard left frustrates me. So ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

They are accelerationists, much like the far far right. They want the current system to be undone because they believe it will usher in the world as they believe it should be.

Which is why I don't consider myself "far left". For example, I will not be withholding my vote over the Gaza crap.

The border crisis and Israel bothers me because I can see people suffering. People, in the case of the border, that he promised to help. And instead of helping them his administration has actively worked to keep title 42 going, has implemented a new broken system when criticized for maintaining Trump's border policies, has denied a fucking genocide in the UN, and continues to arm Netanyahu with tax payer money. These are not small issues and blowing them aside because "the economy" is obscene.
hellodeliciousfriend
Yeah but also much of that is on Congress and previous administrations(not even just Trump). Biden has done a lot to try and stop the situation in Gaza from spiraling (or even starting) but the sad thing is that he doesn't actually have a lot of control or ways that won't make things worse. It's literally the hardest foreign policy problem in the world.

I know it sucks but Trump would be way worse
IrrelevantHandle
Trump would be worse is just a metric I'm not okay with using for world leaders. You can vote for Biden and still hold him accountable for the pain he's caused and the promises he's broken.
KinetoPlay
That doesn't make him good. Being better than shit isn't being good. His administration has done a lot that's commendable, but he's also broken a lot of promises and spit in the face of his supporters.
