The books have detailed a president increasingly unfit for the task of taking on Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election and his top aides in denial about it, or actively seeking to cover it up, even as the administration warned about the existential threat Trump posed to American democracy.
Journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes were first out of the gate with Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. Revelations included how Biden aides planned for his withdrawal in 2023, then when his disastrous June 2024 debate against Donald Trump supercharged calls for him to quit, “aggressively” argued that he should not, given Harris would be a “disaster”.
Then Chris Whipple, author of a book about Biden’s 2020 win, released Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History. Whipple’s book is slim, at just 204 double-spaced pages. But it hits hard. Ron Klain, a former White House chief of staff, describes debate preparations in which Biden seemed “out of it”, unable to “grasp … the back and forth”, and also says that after the debate disaster, Biden declined to do political work necessary to survive, preferring to enjoy the trappings of power.
I pay attention to it but for all intents and purposes it doesn’t exist.
How many people did the PSL have in lower levels of government before Claudia De la Cruz decided to parachute into the presidential race?
So insignificant enough to be ignored, but enough of a threat to warrant the party spending millions to remove her from the ballots.
Get the fuck outta here, bot.
This is the point I was trying to prove not whatever you tried to twist it into.
How many seats in lower offices did PSL get before Claudia De la Cruz parachuted into the presidential race to get her 4,225 votes?
Is there a reason you don’t want to answer this question?
They are working at the lower levels, too. But gatekeepers like you insist they gain seats at the bottom before even considering going for high ranking positions, because you know there are systems in place at the bottom to block change candidates.
Eat shit.
So hypothetically Claudia De la Cruz gets elected president do the democrats and republicans just start voting her laws in?
I’m not a gate keeper just a realist it’s something leftists could use a dose of.
For one, she could use her veto power to prevent the corporatists from gaining another inch. Second, there is a lot that can be done with executive orders. Third, as we’ve seen with Trump, the president can move forward with any policy they want- any limitation on power without enforcement is not a real limitation.
The only reason Trump has unlimited power is because the people who voted him in (or didn’t vote at all or voted third party (like PSL)) gave him majorities in the house, senate and SCOTUS.
Also presidential vetos can be overturned.
