AOC's ex-communications director says Biden is 'old as s***', 'deeply unpopular', has been 'largely ineffective' and the Democrats will get 'demolished' in the midterms

Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's former communications director tore into President Joe Biden over the weekend, calling the 79-year-old commander-in-chief 'old as s***' and predicting he'll get Democrats 'demolished' in this year's November midterms.

Corbin Trent, who worked in the Democrat firebrand's Congressional office and then her re-election campaign before abruptly departing in March 2020, told Politico that Biden is 'deeply unpopular' and vulnerable to a left-wing primary challenge.

'People will smell opportunity, and D.C. is filled with people who want to be president,' he said.

'He’s deeply unpopular. He’s old as shit. 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.'

'Will there be a progressive challenger? Yes,' Weaver said.

He added that an opponent on the left would be more a symbol of progressives' rising popularity than a rebuke of Biden's presidency.

'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,' Weaver said.

But rather than a big name challenger like Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or Cory Booker, one progressive is quoted in the report predicting lower-profile Democrats will come to the forefront.

'Someone like Nina Turner or Marianne Williamson. Doubt anyone currently elected,' they said.

The new crop is probably a lot dumber and less connected to deep state intelligence services.

He seems to be using "demolished" in a way that suggests it would be a bad thing.

It wouldn't be.

Don’t get complacent. The vote stealing machines will be in high gear.

Hopefully kid, you’ll live long enough for some conservative pu k to disrespect you in a similar manner. What goes around, y’know?

I don’t think the Democrat Party will allow some hot shot unknown to step forward and set the world on fire. They have a list of people “whose turn it is” and they are all old failures with no ideas. It’s the Soviet Union all over again.

Republicans are a little better, with DeSantis and Trump. But we certainly have a tendency to find useless Bushes or other candidates who “deserve the slot”.

“He’s deeply unpopular.” Fact check: TRUE.

“He’s old as shit.” Fact check: TRUE.

“He’s largely been ineffective” Fact check: TRUE.

“And I think he’ll probably get demolished in the midterms” Fact check: TRUE.

'Progressives are ultimately ascendant.

The mistake this asshat is making us that he somehow thinks Biden is in charge, he’s not: the progressives are. It is their policies that are odious to the majority of Americans much more so than the puppet whose strings they are pulling.

I agree. Political favors need to be paid off and the young bucks will be told to sit down and take a number. We’ll get back to you in 2040.

Yep, that’s what they think. They are critical of Biden, for not being liberal enough. They think his poll numbers are in the gutter, because he’s just not liberal enough.

“...Democrats will get ‘demolished’ in the midterms...” Working on this part.

Elkind ruined a decent article — and the little shit quoted isn’t wrong — by tapping an anonymous flak for “Marianne Williamson” as a possible progressive candidate. That nutroot can’t tie her own shoes without bursting into tears.

Demolished? No! They know how to cheat and the Republicans do nothing.
