  1. I think he should let other people point out the obvious and remain “above the fray”. He probably won’t though

  2. Well, when sensible policies aren’t a thing they are willing to budge…. /s

  3. I’d buy a BidenHarris2024 with “still not a felon”, or “it’s me or the convicted felon” on my coffee mug.

  4. IMO his more working class message in 2020 was good. He shouldn’t abandon it, it wasn’t his fault that it his agenda was tanked by 50 Republicans and 2 Democrats.

    (edit – Biden should also advertise RFK jr as a non-felon conservative).

  5. I do not think Biden really needs to get involved get out and talk about policies and plans and give Netanyahu the finger.

  7. Trump’s felony conviction isn’t the top issue. It’s all these Republican legislators and well-placed handful of Republican hacks on the bench who are complicit in the big lies Trump pushes on his large MAGA mushroom crowd while he commits felonies. It is the cult-programming of over 35% of US population with Republican complicity. It is their mastery of preying upon every irrational fear and prejudice in order to scare and enrage them into giving up their votes.

  8. Exposing the BILLIONS of Dollars being funneled to the RNC from around the world and from Wealthy American Donors for the Enactment of Project 2025 and FAVORS from the Republican President Elect in November (it’s not for trump), is the ISSUE! Come on! Dems need to pull all the stops and go BIG and get Enthusiastic National support, not BASE support only and a few stragglers. I want to see articles on what will happen if the Dems have a narrow win again? Will Project 2025 take deeper root in the Red States. Will Red States start imposing its laws across the state borders (trying now)? Will red state Governors order US Federal Agents shot? A narrow win may for Dems may be the spark that ignites this powder keg! Trump is not the main enemy; The Movement and The Money are. It is not just trump, pretty much every elected Republican at every level needs to be fought this way.

  9. Folks saying “no” in the thread- most Americans don’t pay attention to news. That Trump is a convicted felon needs to be repeated

  10. Trump’s given Biden enough ammunition to sink the Titanic, let alone his presidential ambitions.

  11. Sure, but reproductive rights should still be THE top issue. That one is a proven winner

  12. Cool!

    Unfortunately, his yo-yo fanbase is wearing this as a badge of honor.

    Yall have got to talk about the price of goods. Address it, please, and watch the poll numbers sky rocket.

  13. Biden doesn’t need to address it, but EVERY other democrat can!

  15. Actually he doesn’t have to. Biden’s own record is his biggest asset.

  16. elected Dems should be saying the words “convicted felon Donald Trump” or “convicted criminal Donald Trump” at least once every 20 seconds whenever they are speaking in public

  17. The US must not allow a convicted felon such as Trump be the next President.

  19. So many options here:
    Felon, sexual predator, tax cheat, traitor….

  20. Should be pushing how Roe V Wade got overturned. The masses are too stupid to care that Trump is a criminal, rapist, failed businessman.

  21. Dems really have opportunity here to lay on the offense, just keep pushing hard through to the election. Biden does best when the story’s about Trump, and this story will have legs for weeks if not months.

    If a Gaza ceasefire somehow materializes, all the better

  22. I mean, yeah, why wouldn’t you? Just like how the Republicans pushed “her emails!” in 2016 (which really hurt Clinton), the Democrats are going to push “he’s literally a convicted felon!” this year.

  23. Make Aileen’s canon’s smug obstruction of justice a big deal!!! For fucks’ sake if a Biden appointed judge pulled Biden’s fat out of the fire until after the election we would never, ever hear the end of it.

  24. If a felon has to struggle to get a fucking minimum wage job. Trump’s fat fucking felon ass should not be president.

  25. They just need to reference him as Convicted Felon Donald Trump. On everything they say, put out there, print, whatever. He needs to be addressed and referenced as Convicted Felon Donald Trump.

  26. First thing Biden should say at the debate is “I’m happy to be here with you all, including convicted felon Donald Trump”.

  27. They should also be playing the Bob Woodward tapes of Trump admitting Covid was a deadly threat and that he was downplaying it for political reasons.

    Fuck. Him.

    There needs to be constant ads playing about ALLLLLLL his BS over the past 8 years. Remind people of how chaotic every single day was.

    Liable for raping a woman.

    Liable for defaming her afterward.

    Liable of fraud (owes 1/2 Billion dollars) and should never have security clearance, ever.

    Convicted of 34 felonies

    3 other indictments that relate to stealing classified documents, staging a coup and trying to overthrow the government.

    They should make an ad like those old greatest hits CD’s you’d see on tv. Get Morgan Freeman to narrate it.

    Taylor Swift, tell your fucking cult to make sure that other cult leader doesn’t get power again. Say something. Anything.

    I’m so fucking sick of this guy and don’t understand how a major political party is clinging onto a wannabe demagogue.

    Biden’s campaign needs to do more outreach to people that can sway people. Stop taking “the high road” and fucking fight these people.
