Biden loses to like every other candidate in recent polls. It might be time to get out of the Blue MAGA echo chamber if you genuinely still think your previous comment is real.

Blue maga makes no sense, that slogan has literally always been a Republican thing trump famously stealing it from Reagan who stole it from another who u can't remember the name of at the moment.

We're now getting headlines like

"Biden Claims He’s Done ‘More for the Palestinian Community Than Anybody"

Both parties are competing to be the biggest cult. The Democrats have fully embraced Trumpian rethortic.

They're literally endorsing Genocide dude. Any party endorsing Genocide is a death cult and the Democrats are most definitely a death cult as well.

That's not the argument I'm making. Sure there's propaganda but maga is and always will right wing.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

MAGA is a synonym for cult like behavior where the leader makes up absurd lie after lie and nobody questions it.

It does not have to be right wing, however as is becoming more and more obvious the Democrats are not left wingers.

Joe Biden goes on his CNN debate with Trump and says we "need abortion because illegal immigrants are raping women". It's becoming a competition which person can MAGA the hardest. Nobody can look at those debate statements without prior knowledge and conclude the Democrats are left wing.

No it's an acronym, you could alter it's meaning but simply saying blue maga doesn't make sense as the Democratic position is not and never has been that America is now or has ever been less than great. Ie. We have fallen and the only way to get back up is the r ticket.

It's always been America had it's problems but we can and are always making changes and working towards a better future together. Ie. Not perfect, bit actively trying for perfection and the only way to get there is together.

It's an acronym that is used in a different way than what Trump intended it for. As an insult to cult like behavior.

Supporting literal Genocide is rather far from perfection. Genocide Joe is not the way to any perfection except the KKK kind.

That's not how acronyms work. If used improperly by an idiot it still means the same, though we can imply what we want from it.

You're literally mouthing marketing bullshit and expecting people who see no nuance to see your nuance. It's weird dude.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait what do you even think MAGA means

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

More importantly what do you believe it means. I know what it means because it's literally marketing shit from 1978.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nobody is referring to Reagan when they say MAGA.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aside from trump and his team who stole it from Reagan so Reagan fans would go "ooo he's so Reagan-esk" which worked and bought their vote.

Agreed that intelligent people do not see it that way yet Trump hand tend not to be terribly intelligent.

Similarly no one is referring to the Democratic party when they say maga, no one aside from you I suppose.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

MAGA refers to Trump. Blue MAGA referers to establishment Democrats.

Similarly no one is referring to the Democratic party when they say maga, no one aside from you I suppose.

When liberals have no argument all they can do is try to win on semantics and hope nobody notices their double standards.

Blue Maga: we need to talk about the cult-like turn of the Democratic party

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That opinion piece that is both self referential and admits to the absurdity of using maga to refer to hyper partisanship since that already has a well defined term... Hyper partisanship.

Then there are the party’s elected representatives, who are busy marching in lockstep with the White House in public, while losing their shit in private. “On Capitol Hill, Democrats panic about Biden but do nothing,” read the headline in the New York Times. Sound familiar?

The party that mocked Republicans for slamming Trump in private while backing him in public is now doing the same with its own leader. At the time of writing, only about 20 congressional Democrats have called for Biden to step aside and yet reporting from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and more, suggest dozens more are saying the same behind closed doors. Most elected Democrats believe Biden will struggle to win against Trump in November, noted Politico’s Rachael Bade last week, “even if they don’t say it on record”.

And what’s one of the main reasons why they won’t say it on the record? Because they’re afraid. That’s not my opinion – it’s theirs. “I wish I was more brave,” NBC News quoted one anonymous Democratic state party chair as saying. “I would be crucified by them if I spoke out of line.” This person spoke on the condition of anonymity, according to NBC, “because they fear retaliation from the president’s camp”. Again, sound familiar?

Consider this paragraph from the New York Times on Friday, referring to a Biden campaign event in Detroit which had the “flavor of a Trump rally at times”:

“When Mr Biden referred to his political opponent, there were chants of ‘Lock him up’ – which the president did not discourage. When he criticized news media coverage, big cheers followed, with his supporters turning to boo and point fingers at reporters.”

How does this not sound like “Blue Maga”?

It sounds like hyper partisanship, no need to code shit in stupid ways call it what it is.

Then by all means pick another candidate lmao

Democrats: according to polls, hilarious clinton will win with a landslide victory never heard of in the history of the world.

Also democrats: according to polls, we stand a better chance if we change candidates close to the election.

By all means, keep it up, do the dumbest things, it's what Americans are known for anyway. Can't wait for the easiest Trump victory ever since y'all seem keen on shooting yourselves in the foot. It'll be hilarious.

Clinton was losing in the polls. The DNC forced Bernie out because their megadonors didn't like him.
