You're not impressed by Biden's improving name-calling game?
---
I actually have to wonder how many aides, consultants, etc they gathered together and how much time they spent trying to come up with a real, humdinger zinger until they finally decided on the stupendous Broke Don.
Debtor Don sounds better and I spent literally 5 seconds on it
Where's my check, DNC?

Calling Netenyahu a poop face
Oh, my heavens! He could never do that! It would be seen as antisemitic. But he could make a seemingly critical comment about Netanyahu. That's permissible.
idk bro "broke don" just doesn't hit the same as "genocide joe". i wonder why...

"Hey fellow humans. This man can't pay a $454 million bond. Let's all laugh at how poor he is! Can you imagine?..being poor? I don't think I could live with the indignity of it. Frankly, I don't think I'd want to!...Being poor..."
Democrats are sp good at politics. Lets insult bring poor - which most people are and realize they're going to renain because of how they've been fucked by the system
the trick is not to be clever or funny but to simply make up a name that is stupid and mean
They really can’t understand actual criticisms. Trump’s names aren’t just random names to be stupid or mean, they have meaning. Sleepy Joe because he’s a tired old man, Low Energy Jeb because his campaign was a wet towel, Alfred E. Neumann for Buttigieg because just look at him, etc.
“Broke Don” has no meaning, he a fuckin billionaire. Even if he’s been ordered to pay some big fine, he’ll still have plenty of money left. Plus insulting someone for being poor is just bad. But we already know they hate the poors.
Nicknames I came up with in the time it took me to finish my shit:
- Dirtbag Donny
- Tacky Trump
- Trump the Traitor
- Desperate Donald
- Tyrant Trump
- Daffy Don
Not great, but better than fucking Broke Don. You can add my six figures consulting bill to the $2000 you still owe me, Joe.
Lol his supporters would probably reclaim insults like they did with calling themselves "the deplorables"

“Broke don” just makes him more relatable tbh
"Biden's economy is so bad even Trump is struggling."
- Terrible nickname.
- "The trick is to not be clever or funny - " opinion discarded. That is the ENTIRE point of namecalling. It's supposed to be catchy and memorable. It doesn't need to be factual, but if it is, that's just a bonus. I hate to say it, but calling him a "cheeto" is more memorable simply because it's been ironically said by people here so much that I now find it funny. The fact that they fail to understand this basic concept and want to follow RULES and PROCEDURES for fucking NAMECALLING shows how sheltered liberals are, at best, and at worst, they have no hatred for their "enemies"
- Of all the nickanmes they could've chosen, they decided to pick the one thing that millions of Americans are suffering from right now, and something that democrats have accused their voters of "being too stupid" to understand and "ruining Biden's election" whenever they complain about it
- Conservatives get a boner whenever they see Trump handing out pizzas to people. Being """broke""" will only give more cred with his base who are also broke.

Totally nailed it with this. For me this is what makes this the worst idea ever. "Broke Don", no he's still rich - I'm the one that's broke and its not funny
The term reinforces the class war as well, reminding you that the 'broke' or moniless are obviously incompetent and not to be trusted.

I'm trying to imagine Biden doing that. I can't. It's harder for me than if I don't google and right now I tried to explain the details of the science and physics of a warp drive might actually work. I can't even take a baby step. I have no starting point.

Kim Jong-un came up with “Dotard” in an instant while showcasing his appreciation of late Middle English (never forget, Kim was Western educated, in Swiss international school!) without any of the million dollar think tank money spent on this crap.
I think the peak was when they referred to Biden as a rabid dog
"Rabid dogs like Biden can hurt lots of people if they are allowed to run about. They must be beaten to death with a stick, before it is too late,” it wrote. “Doing so will be beneficial for the U.S. also."
This was before he became president, there was still a chance

I think Biden should start calling him Donald Duck and everytime he tries to speak Biden just starts making obnoxiously loud quacking noises.

this is libs in a nutshell - the mean nickname has to be clever or it has to reference something or imply something
they don't get that by even calling him 'Don' it takes the edge out of it
i legit think that if joe biden got on stage and started calling donald trump 'this fucker' they would get more votes than by doing anything else
started calling donald trump 'this fucker'
As a bonus - "How could a president as kind, as generous, as decent and just plain good as President Joe Biden stooooooooooooop..." and Lawrence O'Donnell falls over. He would be so worked up that in the middle of one of his shows - he gives himself a brain aneurism. And we could laugh at the video clip for years.
healthcare plsTrump's broke? Damn, I'm broke too! Hey, that reminds me, the IRS hasn't given me my tax money back and, wait a second... Genocide Joe still owes me 600 bucks! With interest! Geez, what an asshole!
doesn't matter what the nickname is because Biden isn't suave enough to even say it out loud using his own mouth.
Broke Don is fun when the economy is failing for most people and they can't afford basic expenses while Genocide Joe gaslights them about it. Great optics from PR demons with six figure salaries.
Sure to resonate with all the voters with no savings.
oof, should at least be "broke donnie"
JUST CALL HIM A DIP SHIT!! YOU'LL NEVER BE AS FUNNY AS FONALD TRUMP SO JUST BE MEAN!!
Never tell a Democrat they're terrible at losing, they will always surprise you
I know one that will get popular traction: you know what people hate? The genocide in Gaza. You know who encouraged Israel to "finish the problem?" Donald Trump. We should call him Zion Don. That'll associate him with something incredibly unpopular.
So is r/politics just old people doing their morning posts or is it my fellow 30s posting like old people?
The latter. It's all liberals who think being passive aggressive, well spoken, and snide renders them superior to their opposition somehow

I'm sorry but this isn't correct, it also has to be funny, rocket man is funny af. 
Idk Sleepy Joe, Rocket Man, Mini Mike Bloomberg, Lyin ____ (in Trump affect), hit harder than Joe Biden saying "Broke Don" ever will.
Needs more syllables or something that's at least memorable like "Pauper Don" would've been better to me.

I'm taking bets for how many days before this gets turned around by the Trump campaign (or his redcaps) into a rallying cry that becomes a resounding success:
"Better broke than woke" or "Woke Brandon"

Not related but same energy tbh
Biden will call Trump an r-word and the Liberals will split between embracing it and getting mad that he said it. Hexbear will have a struggle session over this.

Do you remember that one time you thought up a really clever come-back for that kid who bullied you, and when you finally get a chance to deliver it it doesn't land at all and the bully is completely unfazed? That's what this energy is. You can't bully the bully, that's not how it works. Not sure what the play here is, but this ain't it.
