I think you've gotten it wrong. The fact that an ex UK PM writes for the Daily Mail means that he must've been a shitty fucking UK PM.Obviously I was sarcastic but the fact that ex UK PM writes there gives it some weight. Not to the point of believing it but you can reference it as “a source” at the very least.
A former British Prime Minister is not a source on the current inner workings of an American Presidential administration.Well, ex UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson (who some consider not a clown) currently writes articles in this paper, so yes, some sources.
Secret Dem plot to replace Biden revealed: When they'd topple Joe
Nearly every time President Joe Biden appears in public these days, he fuels the chatter: Will aging Joe bow out of the 2024 race? Will he be forced to step aside?www.dailymail.co.uk
Well, to be fair Boris didn’t write that article. It’s just a gossip op ed that takes a bunch of pundit speculation (i.e. people without direct communication with the administration) and extrapolates a “secret plan” to replace Biden.A former British Prime Minister is not a source on the current inner workings of an American Presidential administration.
Like, holy shit.
The biggest problem is that no matter how off-topic or rambling or awful Trump gets, his cult will eat it up, regardless of the content.
Your Fetterman example kinda negates your point I would say.To be fair, the other party will eat up Biden as well, even if he came straight out from the taxidermist's office (see Fetterman, previously).
I'm not a Trumpet, btw, just... unless the US revises the two-party system, this is going to get only worse, change my mind.
Your Fetterman example kinda negates your point I would say.
Not to mention the constant hand wringing over whether Biden should run again on the left, while no amount of felonies is causing the GOP to even question their nominee.
I agree with your general point about the two party system, but the Trump cult goes way beyond anything either party has experienced. There is no legitimate equivocation on either side.
Well, one party has devolved into a cult that’s trying to subvert the institutions of American government and make doublespeak mainstream, while the other has a loopy anti-free-speech fringe that wants to make goodthink mainstream. Both awful, but two completely different levels of danger there.I strenuously hate certain tenets in both parties and I couldn't really pick a "lesser evil".
There is no practical way for this to happen, as there are tons of people of differing political persuasions embedded within so-called “red” and “blue” states. You can’t draw the front lines of a war as rings around every decent-sized city in the U.S.A friend of mine, who's a much bigger Americophile and who's more well-versed in politics, economy and history keeps predicting with utmost solemnity and seriousness that he expects a civil war in the US in the next 10-15 years. I used to find it ridiculous, now I'm not so sure.

Will there be increasing amounts of deadly political violence until the pendulum swings back somehow? Yes. But civil war? No way.
I’m sure a few specific items on the Democratic side would get your post deleted by a certain someone if you deviated from progressive duckspeak, but the rest would probably be safe.* here I had a list of bullet points of what I find despicable about each party's base ideology, but I'm not posting it, since I'm not sure whether I wouldn't be toying with the banhammer or something *
The good news is that the election is so far away people might forget
