PHOENIX (AP) – The 2024 presidential election is drawing an unusually robust field of independent, third party and long shot candidates hoping to capitalize on Americans’ ambivalence and frustration over a likely rematch between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump.

      To be fair to OP, I’ve seen “Dark Brandon” more as a meme to vex conservatives, used when Biden accomplishes a one of his policies, and particularly when fighting to get student loans forgiven.

        This.

        Dark Brandon gets policy wins, judges in seats, he moves things. He gets funding for Ukraine.

        I haven’t seen as much of that.

        Israel isn’t something I agree as much with him on, but that’s not what I was talking about.

      It’s been a few days so this thread should largely be inert.

      I’m not sure who you were replying to because it wasn’t me.

      I said nothing about Israel. I said I’d give him my vote. Your tone was dismissive to someone who wrote what you wanted to read, but I did not say or imply.

      Not interested in a flame war, only discussion. If you respond with hostility or more bad faith, you’ll get the last word - I’ll not reply.

          I used a rhetorical device to easily distinguish what excites me about him being president versus what’s meh. It worked and works.

          Most people know they aren’t going to see a DB meme for the Israel topic *that you introduced from… Somewhere? *

          He’s chalked up wins and I know he’ll end up with L’s. But I prefer seeing him using his political capital on the economy, green energy, trust busting, courts… The virtuous things Roosevelts did.

          You keep implying I said something I didn’t and your post history is argumentative. Smart, but too many elbows. This will be my last reply.
