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” is a fine platform to run on at this point, where conservatives are ready to vote for a rapist.
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 the majority of the country.
“Insurrectionist” is too long a word for most Americans.
I think “don’t vote for a rapist” works quite nicely.
That’s so funny, I’m literally looking up other words for insurrectionist right now because I completely agree, haha.
Maybe traitor, but that’s a little nationalist for me and the piece of crap doesn’t believe in anything anyway.
Benedict Donald, it has that historical ring to it.
(Unfortunately history is illegal anywhere MAGA lives)
I almost used that! But assumed the same stumbling block.
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’.
You’re not trying to change everyone’s minds, you’re trying to repeat what happened four years ago, when he lost, even before he was found liable for rape and insurrection in courts.
They didn’t vote for a rapist, they voted for a bully.
He was, in 2020, in a better position than he is in now, and now if you debate anyone, you can mention that Trump is a rapist, committed direct election fraud and insurrection.
Which makes him a poor candidate.
Nothing has changed other than the government killing trumps ‘good friend’ epstein to hide his client list
Non-sequitir and unsubstantiated, but I’ll agree that your theory is very entertaining and forcefully circumstantial.
I’ll add more to the theory: Given the number of times epstein met with the former prime minister of isreal in his personal home stateside (and specifically never at the island), it’s extremely likely that the reason epstein was killed is because he was working with the CIA and Mossad to run a blackmail ring of the richest and most influential people in the world.
Don’t misunderstand my reticence to imply that these things cannot happen, conspiracies obviously often occur and have tons of historical substantial weight, I just prefer my conspiracies incontrovertible.
Why do you believe that the CIA and mossaf specifically were running this pedophile ring with Epstein?

“the other guy is worse” is not an argument to vote for somebody. it’s an argument to not vote for the other guy.
there are lots of people who are not trump, and all this astroturfing from biden is really doing is making sure a shitty candidate (Biden) is running.
We can and should do better, and the DNC is going to be hard pressed to get a Biden victory where anyone more progressive than a stick in the mud is likely to win without even trying.
“The other guy is worse” is a valid reason, especially if the other guy is actually far worse, like here.
The better candidate is who you want to vote for.
Also, Biden is a good candidate. His administration rejoined climate agreements, had made actual investments in green technology, American manufacturing, paying off student debt, the usd is stronger than it’s been in decades.
vs. a rapist who personally committed election fraud.
These are not similar candidates.
Trump is a rapist who personally committed election fraud, Biden is a career-middle executive-left president who has made real-life policy decisions that help people
There are lots of people who are Not-Trump.
By you’re argument…. There’s hundreds of millions of people that are both eligible to be POTUS and who are not Trump.
Including myself. Trump is awful. Vote for me.
Seriously, I’m much, much better the. Trump.
Saying “Trump is awful” is not a a legitimate argument for why you should vote for me (you shouldn’t. I’d be an awful POTUS and I’m not nearly corrupt enough for it anyhow.)
Similarly, it’s not an argument for Biden, no matter how not similar they are.
Now let’s get into you’re actual arguments for Biden;
Climate agreements; bullshit promises to try and do something with no real effort to actually get there
Climate investment: corporate pork for things those companies were largely going to do anyhow.
Counter-argument; Biden opened up the willow project- personally approving it. Under his presidency, oil production has continued to increase and his leadership has seen more oil reased from the strategic reserves than all other presidents combined.
American Manufacturing: tax incentives to subsidize corporations, maybe this is good, I’m Meh. The people who are most going to profit are the corpo overlords, though.
Students loan debt: the loan forgiveness that he has done all should have- as a matter of contract- been forgiven years- frequently decades ago. It hasn’t been because of rampant fraud by the loan servicors. He’s done nothing to combat that. (Gee look whose fraudulently profiting off Americans… corporations…)
Counter argument: he has done nothing to fix the core problem: excessive tuition costs that have- and continue- to skyrocket.
Economy: the USD being stronger is a double edged sword; and in any case the economy is only great for the extremely wealthy. For the vast majority of Americans, this economy objectively sucks, and he’s done very little to actually combat that.
Biden has already proved himself to be a good leader, good policy maker and good president.
You have not.
And yes, no matter who the candidates are, voting for the better one is a good strategy.
It would be nice if you had better candidates, but ever since voting started, people have not always had the choice of the perfect candidates.
So you have to choose the one that will be better rather than the one that is perfect.
In this case, the choices are: trump, a rapist who says he wants to be a dictator, or Biden, a left leaning president who’s invested in sustainable technology and actually helped people’s lives with the policy decisions has administration has gone forward with.
Your arguments are vague, cynical conservative talking points that don’t reflect reality.
We can look at just one of Biden’s sustainability acts, which has:
" Achieved a record five-fold increase in light-duty zero-emission vehicle purchases from the previous year;
Announced the intent to buy clean electricity through the first-ever 24/7 100 percent carbon-free electricity tariff in the United States;
Established the first-ever Federal Building Performance Standard to drive building electrification;
Issued a plan for major suppliers to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks and set science-based emissions reduction targets;
Secured $5 billion through the Inflation Reduction Act to catalyze markets for American-made, lower-carbon construction materials;
and Launched the COP27 Net-Zero Government Initiative to extend U.S. international climate leadership. "
These are concrete changes from just one piece of legislation among many Biden has enacted.
300,000 buildings are being renovated and 600,000 vehicles are being updated to these guidelines.
Your other comments are similarly misleading, lowering the unemployment rate and improving the worth of the US dollar are not “double edged swords”, they are specific achievements brought about by direct policy changes.
Biden is investing in American manufacturing to counter how ignored that industry has been for half a century and how far it’s fallen behind, especially now that chip technology is becoming so crucial to the future of technological progress.
Tuition costs? Besides the direct 5 billion of student debt relief, The Biden administration hasn’t acted legislation that protects low income earners from unsustainable tuition loan debt, there’s still trying to eliminate tuition for State colleges entirely, trying to give out more direct student that relief, and are trying to increase the amount given out by grants and scholarships.
Trump, a rapist, committed direct election fraud and spent hundreds of millions of tax dollars playing golf and taking vacations when he wasn’t making absolutely terrible policy decisions.
The biden administration has made multiple tangible beneficial strides forward for the United States.
Your arguments are vague, cynical conservative talking points that don’t reflect reality.
Cyincal? Certainly. Conservative? LoL. the reality I live in is the one where [most of my friends struggle](most of my friends struggle) to afford a place to live and raise a family. the one where the average American worker is having to choose between taking their kid to the doctor because it might be RSV or COVID or something; and paying for food the next month.
I have 2 full time jobs, just to be able to not run the risk of losing my home. Most Americans work that or more, and are still living pay check to pay check. Healthcare. Food. Energy. Childcare. All of them remain inflated, and all of them affect average americans.
credit card debt in '23 has also skyrocketed, as well as people defaulting on home and auto loans, and evictions.
What fucking reality are you living in? no seriously. What reality? the one where you don’t actually have to work? Unemployment is one aspect of an economy; but that economy is not working for the average American- in fact, the average American is a wage slave to that economy. Unemployment being at record lows is meaningless when the reality is that most people are working and still can’t afford the shit they need to survive. the US is facing record-setting homelessness; families are burdened to the point of breaking, but you expect us to believe an economy that is siphoning off wealth to very few people at the top is… a good thing?
you talk about the economy like it’s some fucking sterile thing; you do not live in reality. the reality is we’re talking about lives. people’s lives.
Climate change, too. MOST of the actual climate-things passed by biden are tax breaks for things companies are doing any how…Speaking of things people are going to do any how, all those renos in federal buildings… those were things that were being planned for and begged for… years. It has nothing to do with climate change, though. It has everything to do with lowering the cost of maintaining and operating those buildings. is it a reasonable thing? sure. But it’s hardly something laud as action on climate change.
lowering the unemployment rate and improving the worth of the US dollar are not “double edged swords”
putting words in my mouth. I never said the unemployment rate was a double edge sword. I said the improved dollar was. My criticism of the unemployment rate is that it’s a shit metric used to try and convince people on the verge of homelessness that things are actually better, when clearly, they’re not. which just says you- and eveyrbody else waving it around think we’re too stupid to understand basic math and budgeting skills.
But as to the second… LOL. Most people on all sides of the issue agree that it cuts both ways. Exporters and companies that operate internationally (more specifically receive foreign currency as payment for goods and services, to then exchange to the dollar), as well as local US economies that rely on tourism are hurt in equal measure to importers and US tourists traveling abroad.

https://www.npr.org/2022/09/27/1124284032/strong-dollar-euro-pound-foreign-exchange-fx-inflation
Issued a plan for major suppliers to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks and set science-based emissions reduction targets;
“I plan to ask people to do this thing… that they’re all starting to do anyhow because their investors want it.” … aka… taking credit for things other people are doing.
and Launched the COP27 Net-Zero Government Initiative to extend U.S. international climate leadership
the US has been sending people to climate summits since before I’ve been in high school. You remember the Kyoto accords? call me when they actually do something other than blow smoke up everyone else’s asses.
Tuition costs? Besides the direct 5 billion of student debt relief, The Biden administration hasn’t acted legislation that protects low income earners from unsustainable tuition loan debt, there’s still trying to eliminate tuition for State colleges entirely, trying to give out more direct student that relief, and are trying to increase the amount given out by grants and scholarships.
Nothing he as done (increasing pell grant maximums, forgiveness,) actually solves the problem. In fact, the pell grants may make the problem worse (by subsidizing tuition, which, for profit colleges are just going to increase their fees to accommodate the new subsidy… and pay their board of directors more bonuses)
for the Public Service Forgiveness program… You do realize that the people being forgiven have effectively been getting robbed this entire time? with loan servicers screwing them over. This is the fraud I’m talking about. Contractually, they did the time in public service and should have had their loans forgiven ages ago. the servicers did not do that, because… money. “oh my bad. that loan is forgiven now. good luck” is not enough for people who’ve been paying that loan for ages that they should not have been. (and lets not forget the whole point of it is to attract educated people into the public sector.)
Trump, a rapist, committed direct election fraud and spent hundreds of millions of tax dollars playing golf and taking vacations when he wasn’t making absolutely terrible policy decisions.
coming back to my original point, once again: This is not an argument to vote for Biden. This is an argument to not vote for trump. There are hundreds of millions of americans that are both eligible to be POTUS and are not trump. “I’m not the bigest piece of shit” isn’t the same thing as “I am a good person.”
You are throwing a tantrum because the solutions aren’t already finished, rather than being happy that there are actual steps being taken that are improving people’s lives.
The things that you’re railing against, that everybody else agrees with and nobody argued against, are the result of corporate corruption, not presidential policy. Except for Trump’s presidential policies, which were obviously and explicitly biased toward corporate greed.
You ask for concrete action by Biden and then are ignoring the appointed and confirmed federal judges, veterans benefits, 2 trillion dollars in covid relief, 1.2 trillion for bridges, rail, waterways, public transport, 5 million American jobs, hundreds of thousands of vehicles and buildings renovated for energy efficiency, ignoring the money invested in sustainable technology, ignoring the energy grids being renovated, ignoring the eV charging network built the last four years, ignoring the money for students, ignoring the Pell grants.
So yea, you’re ignoring literally every physical, tangible result of legislation passed by Biden, but crying out for that evidence you are ignoring.
And yes, not being a rapist is a good running point when people are swayed by that point.
You seem to incorrectly think that Trump being a rapist wannabe dictator is as impressive as directly helping people for four years of Biden’s first term.
This is wrong.
As much as you enjoy the rapist, Biden is an objectively better president and candidate, and the fact he died not rape people is salient since the leading opposing candidate is a rapist.
These are not two similar candidates. There’s one rapist who directly committed election fraud and made terrible domestic and foreign policy decisions, and one career middle executive left leaning president that has tangibly helped hundreds of millions of Americans and is investing in the country and its citizens.
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.
and then you have a lot of other potential DNC candidates who are like “Look, lets be on the right side of history, here”
Which is why one of the many reasons… because AIPAC can’t have that…
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 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, 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.
That is a load of silly nonsense
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 still 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.
“The success of trump is about name-calling”
-youyou’re not even self consistent, troll
Yes, Israel’s Palestine occupation and extrajudicial civilian execution policy has been consistent since the founding of Israel.
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?!!?
deleted by creator
well that’s insane
and now bypassing congress to bomb Yemen/Houthi rebels…
No amount of money is going to convince hardcore maga to vote for anyone else.
There are, crazy to believe, tens of millions of undecided voters every election cycle. The media calls them “moderates” but really it’s clueless people that don’t understand politics that vote based off gut feeling or “I’d like to have a beer with that guy!”. Getting through to these chucklefucks is critical to winning elections, especially when you’re campaigning in a swing state like Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, etc.
Won’t the money be spent trying to scare anyone who’s anti trump into not staying at home come voting day?
Yes. Politics nowadays is less about winning the argument and more about actually getting your supporters to show up.
I just checked out the comments on that twitter post. Yikes, that’s quite the shit show :D
Fingers crossed for your election, guys!
Even if it is bots behave like it isn’t. Go out and vote.
Weird how Elon kept whining about bots being rampant until it came out that half of his followers were bots and Twitter started bleeding users and advertisers.
It’s not weird. He’s a pathological liar and fully intended to make Twitter worse. It’s why Saudi Arabia gave him $22B to buy it with no expectation of an ROI.
There still is a long way to go. Somewhere around mid April will start retail politics and the real election narrative will be set.
It’s going to come down to Abortion, Education, and Store prices during the general election. Most Americans are not invested in Israel or Ukraine.
If prices come down before Nov, Biden should win based on how Virginia turned out during it’s latest election. But it will be a close election.
MAGA is very much invested in not giving Ukraine any more money. Which was Trump’s plan since 2019.
I love the title cutting off a very important part of the quote. You guys are just helping spread fear.
Which part?
“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” that’s the full quote. The quote fragment in the title makes it seems like Biden is admitting that Trump is ahead of him. Welcome to modern “journalism” and MicroWave is just a post farm so it doesn’t care what “information” it spreads.
I’m pretty sure in this context frontrunner refers to the choices within the Republican primary, not the general. As in Trump is beating desantis and co.
a younger candidate puppet would have drawn in the millenials/genz vote this time around but boomers gonna boom…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
News outlets called Iowa for Trump roughly 30 minutes after the caucuses officially got underway.
Polling in other early primary states, such as New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, also show Trump leading.
Biden used his first campaign speeches of 2024 to warn that Trump poses a grave threat to U.S. democracy, citing his refusal to accept the 2020 election results, his refusal to condemn political violence and his vows for revenge if reelected.
Trump, speaking to supporters Monday in Des Moines on Monday night, slammed Biden as “the worst president we’ve had in the history of our country.”
The original article contains 217 words, the summary contains 144 words. Saved 34%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Biden’s campaign slogan, forever and always: “Yeah, I might stab you in the stomach with a pitchfork, but at least I’m not Trump!”
But that’s better than getting shot in the face.
Yeah, a hundred percent. I’m mocking the fact that Biden’s got nothing going for him aside from not being Trump. Which is definitely something, don’t get me wrong. But it fucking sucks
I’d vote for a monkey over either of these old shit heads.
Trump is a massive POS human.
Definitely tremendously worse than dumb, creepy Joe.
We need a serious 3rd party candidate to step forward. I’m tired of have to choose the least bad candidate.
We can’t have a third party that is viable while we have first past the post voting. We need election reform to include new voting procedures like ranked choice voting or something similar along with the elimination of gerrymandering.
This is America. A 3rd candidate would just be the lesser of 3 evils.
Gotta dismantle the PACs and backroom deals that made the GOP and the Dems the most popular parties over a period of 150 years.
I wonder how many rail workers will donate to his campaign
They’d be justified in being angry, but they’d also be shafted just as quickly if not quicker under Trump if there was another labor dispute.
Its a good point but a bad campaign slogan, s’why i brought it up. The guys i know say their local is still for joe but some of em are gonna vote Trump even though back in 16 the carrier left the bargaining table simply because Trump won
Plenty. Maybe do your own research.
Calm down buddy, we’ve only just met. Hiya, i used to work for BNSF and i know some real rail workers personally. While i don’t expect you to take me at my word i do expect you to be respectful when you speak. If you don’t then we can flail our dicks at each other like this. Do you want to do the first thing where we learn from each other or the second thing, where we each try to roll the other person’s ego in gravel?
Edit: the latter, huh? Oh well, collect your stamp and move along
“My name is not Trump. Please donate money to me.” - Biden
biden thinks it is him and the citizens he kept down struggling versus trump who did the same
fucking laughable this guy thinks he can do a piss poor quartered assed at best job and thinks we should just blindly follow
More like “okay guys, it’s clear that Trump is going to be the GOP candidate. We need to beat him”.
I need you to do more learning on how FPTP and electoral college voting affects general elections.
You know… if he really cared about beating trump in november, he should step down and then campaign for his successor.
He’s said the only reason he’s running is trump…
But also he said “50 other Dems” could beat trump.
So it seems like less that he’s running to stop trump from winning, and more knowing trump is his easiest opponent.
If all he cares about was stopping trump, yeah, he wouldn’t have ran in the 2020. Let alone 2024 when he’s polling even worse.
Like Clinton before him, he’s willing to risk trump because he thinks trump is one of the few candidates that would make someone vote D to prevent.
I hear that.
And what’s hilarious is… most democrats are eating that shit up.
I wouldn’t say that.
Voting is easy and convenient for me. I’m voting D like I do every election. Just not happy I don’t have a say in who that is for the next four years
The problem is people that don’t always vote because they have to fight suppression.
“Vote me or things will be worse, I’ll keep everything as bad as it is!”
Doesn’t really get them out to the polls…
And that’s not opinion, we know it often doesn’t work. It’s just also the only way conservative Dems can still win. So that’s what we’re going to keep seeing
Voting is easy and convenient for me.
Sadly, thanks to Republicans, it isn’t for a lot of people. By design, because those people are more likely to vote for Democrats.
Voting is easy and convenient for me. I’m voting D like I do every election. Just not happy I don’t have a say in who that is for the next four years
we haven’t had a say in that since I’ve been voting… probably. Certainly since I’ve been paying attention to the primaries. ('16 is what really got me hyper focussed on them.)
“Vote me or things will be worse, I’ll keep everything as bad as it is!”
They’ve been saying that for as long as I’ve been voting, too. (actually both sides have been using lesser of two evils… which this is just an extension of.)
No. Bringing in fresh blood now would only confuse people and ruin his political brand. Biden is the only person who can beat Trump at this point. Not voting, or voting for Trump because you think Biden is too old for the job is asinine. Trump is literally 3 years younger than Biden.
I don’t think he’s too old.
I think he’s too incompetent.
His own SecDef was out of pocket for a week without telling him. His DoJ took over two and a half years to recover heavily classified materials from Trump- and they’re still missing one of the single most sensitive binders Trump had access to.
It nearly took 3 years for Trump to face the possibility of consequences for his insurrection, and as it stands we might not get convictions until after he is elected.
I don’t think he’s too old- I think he’s too out of touch with the majority of American voters. Make no bones about it- he’s a conservative in democrat clothing- republicans have shifted so far right they’re now regressive and he happily slid into their old space.
I think he’s too worried about protecting Israel and not worried enough about building climate resilience in the US, and too worried about his image and not worried enough about them whole Fascists Using Political Violence thing.
In short, I think another Biden administration is going to be the end of America. Not the same end that would happen with Trump …. But Biden ain’t on a path to save America either.
And, who, pray tell, is this mythical successor that would do better?
Give me a name, please. It’s so easy to say “young Democrat that everyone likes” should run instead of Biden. But what actual person is that?
I see your name far too often zaph, and the reason it’s too often rather than nice to see is you lower the discouse of every thread you touch.
Would love to hear your answer to this as well. We all know you don’t have one because you’re clearly just virtue signaling.
There’s a type that needs shit spelled out for them isn’t there?
You didn’t answer their question.
Oh dear, did you gather from context that i was going to?
Always happy to leave an impression!
