President Joe Biden on Sunday ticked through a list of reasons he says a second Donald Trump presidency would be a “nightmare” for the country as he urged Nevada Democrats to vote for him in the state’s presidential primary this week and for his party at large in November.
Biden opened a campaign swing with a fundraiser where he focused on Trump’s ample history of provocative statements — his description of Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages,” his musing about a former top military officer deserving execution, his branding of fallen soldiers as “suckers” and “losers,” his wish to be a Day One “dictator,” his vow to supporters that “I am your retribution,” and more.
Then it was on to a community center in a predominantly Black section of Las Vegas, where he told his crowd of several hundred that “you’re the reason we’ll make Donald Trump a loser again.”
Biden said the stakes were huge when he took on Trump in 2020 — “what made America America, I thought, was at risk’ — and they are even larger now as a likely rematch looms.
I know it’s hard to hold 2 seemingly contradictory truths in your head at the same time. It is, however, possible to be a Republican that doesn’t support Trump and a Democrat that doesn’t support Biden. Neither party is a monolith. If you got out more and talk to people, you’d realize that.
If a person votes for their party, they support their candidates, their policies, and their actions.
That is a really immature and inaccurate take on human psychology.
And an incorrect take on politics. It’s impossible for a politician to hold every single one of your beliefs. Impossible. You are suppose to chose from a pool of candidates the one that most closely aligns.
