Pretty sure his comments last night about ending subsidies for the oil industry are going to hurt him down the stretch. This seems to be the one unforced error he made last night that is resonating. How much and where it hurts him is yet to be seen. Conservative twitter has latched on to them and media is openly opining the impact. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1319625113948639232?s=20

Conservative twitter is grasping at straws.

Ending oil subsidies certainly won't hurt Biden. More than 75% of Americans want to end those. Spinning it to Biden wanting to shut down fossil fuel companies entirely (possible due to his gaffe) is what could hurt him at the margins in TX, PA, Mt, etc. That's why they're trying so hard to do that.

Conservative twitter is grasping at straws. You mean the same twitter that pretends every modern Cartoon is a secret Marxist ploy to brainwash our kids to be Trans Gay Socialists is grasping at straws *SHOCK*

Should we change the name to: Joseph R. "Joe" Biden, Jr.?

We had a discussion about how to handle this about 10 years ago. I prefer just what DylanSH99 suggested, but the decision then was to use the short nickname, with the full name in the biography. Maybe we should discuss it again. An associated question is how to refer to people whose name on the ballot was either misspelled or wrong in some way. This happens more than one might think. In these cases, I use the candidate's real name for the main name and explain in the bio about the different way the name appeared on the ballot. Also in the early 20th century a lot of candidates went by their initials. For example, a man named Charles J. Harris ran for NC Governor in 1904, but he appeared on the ballot as C.J. Harris. I think either can be okay and probably haven't been consistent in how I handled these cases.

I just figured since we just changed Trump's to "Donald J. Trump". I personally believe it makes them look more official a proper.

I often consider that an mistake on my part. We need the info to distinguish between candidates as the candidate database gets larger.

Can't wait to unify with.... Joe Biden.... ugh

Job approval at 60%, it helps to have a media that treats you like a King.

"Sorry Xi I have to speak out against your genocide because that's the right thing to do, have a nice day!"

"Sorry Xi I have to speak out against your genocide because that's the right thing to do, have a nice day!" There are plenty of critiques of Biden'a foreign policy, but this is factually incorrect. "No president can be taken seriously" if they don't challenge Chinese actions. He took issue with "the idea that I'm not going to speak out against what he is doing" in Hong Kong and with the Uigher genocide. "There will be repercussions." We shouldn't be making up what Joe Biden's statements and positions are.

Why was Joe Biden's image removed but Kamala Harris' was kept? It's the White House website's initial official pictures of them.

I assume it either did not fit recomended image requirementsvir there was no change between him in 2020 vs 2021

I just thought we usually post a new one of their official picture. It was his placemat official picture, the same they have done with the past two presidents.

I didn't remove it, but I don't think we need a new picture every year.

I didn't remove it, but I don't think we need a new picture every year. I agree. I think we shouldn't have had two pictures of him from 2019. Thanks for the clarification.

Anyone know of a way to add any pictures to a comment? I found some cool photos of Biden with Nelson Rockefeller and Gerald Ford that I'd love to share.

Do you mean in discussion? You can put in the URL link and replace https with image Well I have it saved on my laptop because it was sent to me. Is there any way to upload pictures to a discussion?

Well I have it saved on my laptop because it was sent to me. Is there any way to upload pictures to a discussion? No. I try and limit uploads as they are a significant hacking vector. The candidate images are all resized and passed through a security filter to try and limit this.

Can't be bad news for Biden. https://twitter.com/MonmouthPoll/status/1382378195056463873?s=20

Anyone can read that question how they want. If your a Republican you’re bound to say yes. While Democrat’s answers may vary.

Withdrawing from Afghanistan based on isolationist lies about our mission there and refusing to raise the refugee cap based on optics. First week of the Biden presidency I wish I had written in someone, rather than voting for him. Absolutely maddening decisions.
