I am not sure I’m going to vote this year. I’m in Ohio, which will probably go red.
Very likely, alas, but I sure hope you’ll still vote! There are lots of important down-ticket races, including Sen. Sherrod Brown’s reelection campaign (you don’t want the US Senate going red, do you?) and for three Supreme Court seats
I am in MO, same problem. But we have important county and school board races here, and I know who the scoundrels are, and they need voted out, so I must vote. I do not know about Ohio, but I am guessing it is the same. Of course, I will vote for Biden, and for any and all democrats. All the Repubs here are election deniers, Trumpers, etc., and I want them gone.
He’s not too old now.
He will be too old at some point.
When will that point be?
If I were confident that that point was “after January of 2029,” I wouldn’t worry about it. If the Democrats would ADDRESS this issue, and note their contingency plans, I wouldn’t worry about it. Right now, the plan seems to be “he’ll be fine,” followed by “if he’s not, maybe Harris something something.”
Still, I’d vote for him even if I thought he was currently too old, because the alternative is unthinkable.
A recent poll: A lot of American voters still hate the Biden-Trump rematch, but Republicans feel more upbeat about it because they think Trump has good chances of winning.
And besides, that, even in solid Red states, you need to send a message that you don’t support Trump, and that you exist. Biden beat Trump by millions of votes last time, and the MAGAts still tried to deny that people like you existed. Biden needs to win by even more votes this time. This is the only way there’s any chance at all of getting the message across to the MAGAts.
Vote every chance you get!
Well, that after all is the whole point of a Vice President.
The Democrats don’t have to “have a plan” for this, because the US government, as an institution, has the plan. And it’s a plan that has actually worked out in the past. So long as the plan is entrusted to people who aren’t dedicated to disrupting the normal actions of government, there’s no reason to think it won’t work out the next time, whenever that might be.
Vote Blue over Q, and take someone with you! (I’m borrowing this, didn’t create it).
So it will “probably” go red and your response to this news is help ensure it goes red by not voting for the blue that you prefer?
That seems like a bad plan.
Plus of course as others have said, all the down-ticket races that are more competitive.
There is nothing that is ever made better by not voting.
The Senate voted to confirm the new Ambassador to Haiti. I’m sharing this because I’m mildly surprised that Republicans voted on it at all. Why not block it or at least kick up a fuss and give Biden another foreign policy headache to deal with during election season?
If Americans need to evacuated from Haiti during this unrest, the lack of an ambassador there (and Senate Republicans) can be blamed for any delay or mishap.
That’s my thought as well. It would be their own Afghanistan, so to speak.
I think you mean their own Benghazi. But same idea in any case.
Although they’ve certainly proven that regardless of the issue or any reality about it, they can construct a narrative that a) makes them look like the good guys, and b) is widely believed by their brainwashed hordes.
So any actual concern about what might happen in Haiti with or without an ambassador really doesn’t, or at least need not, enter their political calculus.
Biden’s apparently not happy with the lack of public knowledge of his record. Which is fine-let him be mad. I’d rather “angry” than “apathy”.
Joe Biden has advisors. The Israel thing has to be resolved in a month or two. Otherwise he will lose at least one state.
Were you thinking he’d win all 50 states otherwise? 
Sorry, I know you meant he’ll lose one state that he otherwise should win. I just couldn’t help myself. #MondaySnark
It’s started to change, but as I’ve already mentioned, the “keep Biden locked away and as quiet as possible” strategy of 2023 was terrible. It’s nice to see that at least Biden recognizes it was a bad strategy. If he loses, I think this will have as much to do with it as the war in the Middle East, Ukraine, immigration, or any other issue of the day.
Or as other people know it, the “Biden focuses on doing his day job rather than campaigning” strategy.
He sure the hell should. It still blows my mind that a single human being could vote for Trump – let alone enough humans to win an entire freakin’ state.
I mean this sincerely. It blows me away.
Tell me about it. When he emerged as the GOP frontrunner in 2016, I initially thought Clinton would win in the biggest landslide since Reagan-Mondale.
And he’s only gotten more loathsome since then.
