    Too bad this election won’t hinge on any actual issues whatsoever

      Consumers getting ripped off by credit card companies is an issue, and if Democrats are smart, they’ll be making a big deal out of this. I doubt they’re that smart unfortunately.

        Never underestimate an establishment Democrat’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

          See: not doing an actual primary and then being all surprised when they realize running an 82 year old candidate is a liability

            I mean, there are historical roots for why the dems don’t run primaries against an incumbent. The last time they did, we ended up with Reagan winning in a landslide. Not defending Biden as a candidate, but there’s definitely a reason why the dems don’t run against a sitting president.

          Just make up some poll results and write the headline to be as damaging as possible to Democrats. Done and done.

      Rip is worse than slice, which is worse than slam. Slam is worse than slap.

      I’m waiting for the ultimate, inevitable title that uses “curbstomp.” Then we’ve reached peak hyperbole.

        I would actually respect curbstomp if they had the guts to use it lol.

        But at that point you would know everything is lost.

    Republicans siding with corporations screwing over everyone in America? That shouldn’t be news to anyone. It’s their entire platform.
