This time, Joe Biden is absolutely right & he SHOULD say it.
Trump is urging his supporters to vote in droves... this week. Last week, he was shouting that he didn't need their votes, and the week before was literally NOT to vote because the system is rigged against them anyway.
This is also part of the reason even hard core, die hard cultists and ******* quitting: whiplash fatigue.

TBH, I’m genuinely worried that the race riots in the UK (well, England and Northern Ireland) the last week were a dry run for something dark that could happen in November in the States; online far-right agitators were manipulated behind the scenes to trigger it all off, and I wouldn’t be surprised if those puppet-masters operate across the Atlantic.
I hope that I am wrong.
If there's violence in november (and keep in mind, this is based on current events and not projecting future successes or failures of propaganda. But trump would need to pull it together in a way that he literally cannot due to his dementia.) it'll be disparate and individual: not coordinated and motivated.
Because the cult is still tooled up for violence, but their enthusiasm is waning. Trump is losing even his cultists now, and the ones that are still trucking on are tired and calling out trumps bullshit.

I'm less worried about Trump inciting violence than I am that Republican plants screwing with the electoral college will mean he won't need to.
The problem is not really his cultist. I still have people I work with (even my own FATHER, a lifelong democrat until he turned old and crazy…maybe literally) who say (and I know this isn’t a be all, but still) that they will still vote for Trump because it will be good for the stock market (and thus, their work sponsored 401K and any meager investments employees of a plains rural hospital can muster).
But then again, I live in Oklahoma, so it might just all be cover or mental justification to vote for an asshole like Trump. Or they all watch Fox News which, as usual, spins everything to be the Dems’ fault and why costs are going up.
Calm, measured response stating people are being listened to & a ceasefire is needed.
Was that really so hard?!
Not exactly unexpected, given the current environment. He's been associated with both the Reform Party and Green Party in the past, both of which aren't exactly authoritarian in nature, unlike the MAGA movement and given the current situation and the project 2024 playbook, I'm not surprised he is going with the candidate that has a chance to win and likely WONT push us closer to an authoritarian nightmare.
So the GOP is attempting to revive the Swift Boat movement with Walz. The Trump campaign hired the architect of the Swift Boaties and are pushing a massively false narrative from "officers" who claim to have been in the national guard with Walz, saying he ran when he was going to be deployed, that he's claiming rank he didn't earn and the whole stolen valor thing.
While the actual National Guard has issued statements refuting this, the unscrupulous are trying to use the false statements to make a splash like was done with Kerry.

The Minnesota National Guard itself has said he's fine to call himself by the rank he earned.
The 'abandonment' angle is laughable from every angle. People are not obligated to stay in the service forever - especially when we know he filed to run for Senate at least a month before any warnings went out about possible deployment. It's coincidental timing.
Everything else is easily attributed to human error/word flubbing/semantics. He was deployed to Italy as support for Operation Enduring Freedom and has never claimed to have gone to Afghanistan.
The only reason the right is pushing these coincidental issues is because they have nothing else on the guy. It's disingenuous.

Talk about splitting hairs...
It's getting dumber. It looks like most of this comes down to third party claims about his service, not things he ever actually said himself.
If the right-wing mediasphere had any self-awareness, they'd be like this:
