President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.

    Don’t vote for a rapist insurrectionist is a fine platform to run on at this point, where conservatives are ready to vote for a rapist insurrectionist.

    Biden is getting way too much shit for explicitly saying that voting for him is better than voting for a rapist.

    This is not his fault, go call your grandma names for voting into the two party system, this dichotomy had been perpetuated for decades.

    Biden is the better presidential candidate, and by far the better president, running as a contrast to a rapist traitor is an understandable salient facet of his platform.

    It isn’t all of it, but if a large minority is ready to vote for a rapist, saying “I don’t support rape, if you don’t support rape vote Dem” is a good starting campaign point to let the majority know where you stand.

    You aren’t voting for two rapists.

    You’re voting for trump, a rapist, or Biden, a center politician who has made several responsible ethical and moral policy decisions in his first term that have benefited there majority of the country.

      if it wasn’t for the whole, bypassing congress to sell weapons to a country actively engaged in genocide… i’d say biden is the clear winner…
      …
      but now they’re going to beat that horse to death, and i can’t personally justify it…
      except that trump would’ve done worse…

        The fact that Trump would have done worse is a pretty good counterpoint.

        You have one candidate who says hey Israel you should start pulling back.

        And then you have another candidate who admires dictators and their totalitarian policies, who’s a rapist.

          i just don’t think any trump supporters will believe that…
          plus the whole joe smelling little girls hair thing, they all consider him a rapist, and trump was a witch hunt…
          i’ve already seen “genocide joe” being thrown around…
          i mean, how did we go from fighting a genocide in Ukraine, to supporting a genocide in Palestine?
          i’m starting to think we’re fucked now, and this is what fucked us.
          trump is a billion times worse, but that’s hard to argue when biden has already actually armed a genocidal regime in Israel…

            That is a load of silly nonsense.

            We didn’t go from anything to two anything.

            The US supporting Israel in its invasion of Palestine has been happening for 70 years.

            Yes, ignorant conservatives call people childish and inaccurate names names, this should not be influential to your decision making.

            Trump is a rapist, Biden is a centrist politician leaning left during his first term.

            You can either vote for Trump, a rapist who does not care about hurting people, or for Biden, a center politician leaning left in his first term whose responsible and sometimes progressive presidential policies have inarguably benefited the United States and its citizens, and lent stability to the global neighborhood.

              you lost me right here.

              the support of isreal hasn’t been 100% consistent the last 70 years. and israel’s genocidal actions haven’t been static either.

              there was a very significant development and increase in hostilities. Congress votes to not give them weapons, the white house, under biden, bypassed that and is selling them weapons.
              at the exact same time, they just stopped giving weapons to ukraine.

              you’re silly to pretend like that’s not significant.

              i bet Trump calls biden “genocide joe” 1,000 times in the next year…

              it’s silly nonsense to pretend like a reasonable measured response is going to be relevant in the next election.

                trump called Biden sleepy joe more than a thousand times last election and lost the presidency even before trump was found liable for rape, insurrection and fraud.

                You’re giving way too much power to bullies calling names.

                trump calls people names because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about or understand any of the issues, so he uses silly names that attract lazy listeners who avoid critical thinking.

                Just because you like alliteration doesn’t mean you should vote for a rapist, or that the rapist knows what he’s talking about.

                And you are factually incorrect about Israel.

                Yes, Israel’s Palestine occupation and extrajudicial civilian execution policy has been consistent since the founding of Israel.

                Hospitals and schools and civilian centers weren’t just bombed last year, this is not a new development, Israel has been bombing hospitals and schools in Palestine for decades.

                    Yes. I say the same thing when I refute your incorrect points and maintain my correct points.

                    This is the definition of consistency.

                  so either you’re a complete idiot, or refusing to discuss within the constraints of reality…
                  either way, completely pointless to talk to.

                  p.s. have you ever heard the term ceasefire?
                  jesus fucking christ, no it has NOT been consistent and yes it has escalated QUITE A FUCKING LOT LATELY!!!

                  do you really not fucking get that?

                  it’s not the only time, but lately it’s been dramatically more violent than as of recently.

                  it’s not about name calling, are you being deliberately obtuse?!!?

                    Given your constant errors and misjudgmentd about the history of Israel, Palestine, and US involvement therein, you should give up.

                    Or, suggestion: read.

                    I’m being deliberate.

                    The success of trump is about name-calling, you can’t see that because name-calling deeply influences your perceptions, saddling you with a blind spot.

                    You do remember that you brought up how important his name calling is, I assume? If not, look up.

      They voted for a rapist last time, and the time before, why would that stop them now? These allegations aren’t new, and we’ve known since epstein was caught that Trump frequented the lolita express, and trump himself said epstein was a ‘good friend’.

      Why would that change any of these peoples minds now? They’ve had ample time to educate themselves, if ever they wanted to, and I doubt they’re voting based on trump anyway as much as ‘muh elephant better than ur donkey’.
