First time in years I think it was not that bad to settle there when I had the chance
rich actor says something dumb, news at 11.
If actors want to have an opinion that’s fine. But commenting like they have any clout or authority to ask something like this? Screw that. I’m tired of the entertainment crowd messing around in politics.
Remember that most people in 'the entertainment crowd' actually have a college degree. It could be in poli-sci.
Of course, Mr Clooney forgets how it went in 1968 when they switched candidates.
I don’t find the degree to be any sort of credential. The degree could be in theater arts, which has no bearing on politics.
I’d like to see your statistic of “most people”, and what sort of degrees they might have that are relevant to asking a candidate to drop out of a race.
All that said, the real point is that someone who is an entertainer is using their public clout in a manner to attempt to influence a politician, or at least public opinion of said politician. As I said, I’m tired of entertainers mucking about in politics.
Fuck you George, I was tired.
Biden is going to run. It's July, he should have announced he wasn't seeking a second term but he didn't and it's too late to swap.
Biden is going to win because Trump has gone full mask off as a fascist and the competition could be a potato.
Then we'll be stuck with a sunsetting neoliberal and vaguely hoping he steps down at some point so his ACAB-proving VP can take over.
Then she's going to lose 2028 because literally no one likes her and the Republic falls anyways.
It's not too late until the convention is over. That's literally what it's for. Biden can direct his pledged delegates to vote for his chosen successor, whoever that might be.
It's too late. Dropping out now practically guarantees Trump wins in November.
According to his polling, so does staying in
You say that but that's just your opinion. The fact is Biden is already behind trump and has lost any momentum he might have had. I'm voting for whoever is on the Democrat ticket but we need the never Trumper and the ones that hate both to break our way. It isn't enough for them to stay home.
Yeah like imagine if 4 years ago he pledged to be one term president, that he viewed himself as a “transition president” and as a “bridge” to the next leader “not as anything else”.
Much like Bidens pier, his bridge led to lies as well.
Did someone threaten to out him?
