As President Joe Biden's approval rating continues to stay low, progressives are beginning to eye potential primary candidates for the 2024 presidential election.

According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden's approval rating currently stands at 43.3 percent as America faces inflation and a surge of COVID-19 cases.

Speaking with Politico, Jeff Weaver, former presidential campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders, said: "Will there be a progressive challenger? Yes."

While Weaver stressed that he is not advocating for a primary campaign against Biden, talks about such a primary challenge has grown in recent weeks since the end of Biden's Build Back Better Act in Congress.

"He's deeply unpopular. He's old as sh*t. He's largely been ineffective, unless we're counting judges or whatever the hell inside-baseball scorecard we're using. And I think he'll probably get demolished in the midterms," said Corbin Trent, co-founder of the No Excuses PAC and former communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). "People will smell opportunity, and DC is filled with people who want to be president."

According to Politico, there are no serious prospects of primary campaign runners amongst those currently in office, or those that had previously taken on Biden in the last election, like Sanders or Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

A challenger would instead come from lesser-known candidates, like former Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner or 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson.

"Yes, but someone like Nina Turner or Marianne Williamson. Doubt anyone currently elected," one prominent progressive told Politico when asked the possibility of someone running against Biden.

"Weaver argued that a liberal challenge wouldn't be a 'repudiation' of Biden but rather the result of the Democratic Party moving left: 'Progressives are ultimately ascendant. And if nothing else, a progressive running who gets a lot of support will demonstrate that the ideas that the progressive movement embraces are, in fact, popular,'" Politico wrote.

Comment: They're so out of touch it's laughable.

Anxiety has grown though that a progressive challenger would weaken Democrat's standings, potentially pointing to a weakened state of the left.

"I think it's pretty unlikely that a serious progressive challenger would emerge if Biden stays in the race," Max Berger, former director of progressive outreach for Warren's 2020 presidential campaign, told Politico. "It would so go against the sensibilities of rank-and-file Democrats that I don't think it would necessarily be a great service to the progressive cause to have our ideas seem so marginal."

Berger added that, while it would look bad for Biden if another challenger received 20 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary, "the flip side of the 80-20 thing is I don't want us getting 20 percent."

The best solution for BABILONIA 2.0, is the CIVIL WAR..............., the World is TIRED

I have been studying the coming collapse of the US for the past 25 years and have published books and articles on this topic for the past 15 with good results: Soviet Union 2.0 is developing quite well. The 30-year truce that was granted to the United States thanks to the collapse of the USSR has now expired; since then, every imperial expansion effort (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, including the Eastern European "belt of suicide countries") has been a total failure. Meanwhile, a reborn Russia, backed by much of Eurasia, is reversing the situation and giving orders to the United States in less than diplomatic terms. And now this: Barbara Water of the University of San Diego, California, recently appeared on CNN to explain that the United States is at a high risk of political violence and civil war.

And that means that the United States has finally arrived at the preparatory stage for total collapse. Let's see it in detail.

Barbara has been studying political instability for 30 years, most recently as part of a CIA task force (which has given her access to some "politically sensitive data," the rest of us only hear about occasionally). Her assessment is not based on an impressionistic sense of the animal mind, but on specific measures refined by application to politically unstable countries around the world. And, according to her, the United States is now at high risk of civil war, political instability and political violence.

To use a term coined by Fareed Zakaria, the US has become an "illiberal democracy." Another term he uses is "anocracy," which can be defined as a form of government that is partly democracy and partly dictatorship or a regime that mixes democratic and autocratic characteristics. “We're closer to the civil war than any of us want to believe,” Barbara says bluntly.

In my work, I have divided collapse into five distinct stages or phases, which can totally or partially overlap, occur asynchronously or even anticipate each other depending on local circumstances. These phases are: financial, commercial, political, social and cultural. This taxonomy offers a good way to make sense of this huge mess and to measure its progress.

In the case of the United States, the financial meltdown is developing quite well; no one knows what particular drop in public debt will overflow the camel's back, but we can be sure the drop will come. We also know what will happen next: loss of access to imported goods and resources, economic collapse and political dissolution.

The commercial collapse is also well underway. The trend has been to replace the diversity of local commerce with one or a few large stores (ultimately, usually a Walmart) that suck all the wealth from the local community and ship it to East Asia, after which Walmart closes. , leaving a shell and an empty parking lot. What remains (for those who still have some cash) is online shopping, but then it turns out that many items are out of stock or simply not available.

In the context of the United States, social and cultural collapse is a special case. Most social activities have been absorbed by social media (mediated, i.e. by private companies). These social media companies profit from selling their users' data, and once that data becomes worthless (because users are broke), the artificially constituted company will dissolve. Likewise, culture has been reduced to a set of commercial cultural services, and once commerce is gone, so too will culture. The end result is a population of mental misfits, of strangers to each other, who cannot communicate properly or make common cause with anyone, but who are heavily armed (with lots of ammunition, mostly Russian-made. despite trade sanctions!).

And now the political collapse is reaching them. According to Barbara, one of the telltale signs of impending political instability is the rise of ethnic entrepreneurship. In the United States, examples include BLM, Antifa, Qanon, and the Proud Boys. LGBTQ +, while not strictly ethnic, can be seen as a politically divisive force; on the other side of the expanding political no man's land, mined and bombed by bullets, they are called Sodomites and, in case you don't know the Bible well, this is not an affectionate term. Various other "havens of iniquity," whether they are west coast devil worshipers or elite east coast pedophile gangs, are in the same category and also seem destined to receive their fix of fire and brimstone. .

As we approach 2022, the United States is poised for a total collapse. The financial markets are rigged to perfection and ready to explode, commerce is in logistical failure mode, society has been reduced to a set of social media silos, culture is an ephemeral commercial product, and now politics is ready to adopt the principle of a bullet - one vote.

So it's no surprise that the Russians, fully backed by the Chinese, are making their own list of non-negotiable demands and double-checking it: return your nuclear weapons to your territory, stop sailing or fly anywhere near Russia, retire yours. weapons and your “explosive belt” troops, which would be Eastern Europe, and make sure someone is on the phone 24/7, in case we need to give you further instructions. The Russians are probably looking at the same set of CIA data that Barbara studied and they see the same thing: the collapse of the United States has finally happened. This is not an exercise! Hence the urgency to have the documents signed before the firefight begins. They really want to fix all the safety issues before celebrating the new year and then enjoying the winter holidays in peace and quiet.

alexal60 For an academic shill to show up on CNN and say that the country is on the brink of Civil War is a desperation move. They want to encourage the idea. Everything else that could possibly be done to weaken the populace at the levels of individual, family, community, and economy has been tried. This is what they have left in their trick bag. It's important that people don't take the bait!

That analysis seems to ignore the fact that there are factions at work inside the US and the US government that actively advance this collapse, and want a civil war. Including the puppeteers behind Biden.

And second; I cannot imagine that Russia is not observing China, their equally unsettling troubles, and their aggressive nationalist rhetorics. After all, Russia (including the Soviet era) had already burned their finger when making deals with the ~~devil~~ militant neighbour.

How convenient that doesn't matter.

He's not in charge of anything real anyway. Probably even a Deep Fake.

And as we know now, votes don't matter either.

A convenient excuse for the severe fuel and fertilizer shortage caused by the US / Israeli war ?
