Pretty funny spin from the left. They made him an offer he couldn't refuse. They pushed him out kicking and screaming. He made it clear many times intended to continue the race unless and I quote/paraphrase, "God himself comes down and tells him to drop out" - the entire Democratic establishment put unbearable pressure on him and then slap him on the back and call him selfless - lol.
Biden Brags That 'the United States Is Not at War' As He Bombs Yemen The wars aren’t over. America is still fighting—directly and indirectly—in the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe. https://reason.com/2024/07/25/biden-brags-that-the-united-states-is-not-at-war-as-he-bombs-yemen/ excerpt: President Joe Biden called himself "the first president this century to report to the American people that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world" in a speech on Wednesday night. Less than an hour before Biden spoke those words, the U.S. military had announced that it was bombing Yemen again. more at the link
You have found your funny phrase, these rules are for everyone...well except when you are a convicted felon....and still walking around campaigning....I guess that is what you meant? DD
They have lost the battle of ideas - they have ZERO ideas that the American public agrees with, in fact their policies are wildly unpopular. The republicans are cheating and they tell you they are doing it with gerrymandering, ballot stuffing, fake lawsuits to eliminate votes....they are unpopular and they know it. As this older generation dies off, they will get further and further away from power... DD
securing the border and crime are both winning issues that the public trusts republicans with more than democrats. I think polls show the economy but that isn't really a policy position.
Kicking and screaming? I have no idea. But in any case, what spin would you want them to use? "We told gramps it was past his political bedtime. And we told him no more ensure unless he signed the letter we wrote for him." Just to give FOX some lulz? Basic political framing is so tame by modern standards. Denying basic reality and threatening the transfer of power is the new version of spin, I guess.
Some of y'all keep saying this, but eh, then we get JD Vances and tech bros, and young incels and all sorts of other young folk ready to try something a little extreme. And you have a huge industry profiting from our animosity for one another. They aren't going to sit quietly without recruiting new people to fill the ranks of one side. Believe that.

The border is as secure as it has always been - and it isn't a crisis at all. Never has been, it is a fake talking point. DD
