Biden has to have more to offer than to be the alternative to Trump, and because even bringing up his age causes condemnation, I’m not sure there’s actually much else being considered about Biden as a candidate.
An alternative to Trump is good enough for me. Then again I’ve lost all hope in our system of government so that helps.
Then you guarantee the candidate who wins the 2028 DNC primaries will be no better.
Every 4 years Republicans move 6 steps towards fascism, while dems only move 4 steps towards fascism and tell us they’re our only hope to avoid fascism.
Inflation reduction act. No recession so far. Student debt forgiveness. He’s not just sitting on his hands.
Sure, he’s great… he’s just unappealing.
Republicans fall in line. Democrats fall in love. Nothing has changed.
Voting first time in my life for a Republican, basically out of spite. Nothing in my personal life has changed at all after 3 presidential elections, so I’m going to vote for the one that will piss off the most people on Reddit. Watching the meltdown will be hilarious.
It’s neat how “cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face” has been an adage for decades.
Can he though? Seems to me that a lot of the things Biden does don’t get noticed by people. Either because of laziness and apathy on their part, or due to horrible reporting from our less than a reputable media at this point. A lot of the best accomplishments don’t get talked about, some are even misremembered. You still hear people talk about the the rail worker strike and yet completely forget how it ended with Biden getting the rail workers pretty much everything they wanted. I don’t know if that’s just ignorance or purposeful misinformation what I hear it from people though. A lot of his reforms have been some of the most progressive in decades, yet people on the internet especially just pretend they don’t exist for some reason. Is it messaging or is it purposeful? Hard to say.
Biden is a liberal, and is making moves for liberals, yes. People here are leftists, and want moves made for leftists. Being slightly more progressive for a liberal is not what leftists want, it’s what progressive liberals want.
Well leftist might want to grow the fuck up and realize that the choice is between a straight-up fascist and a progressive liberal. So the time to whinge about it would have been years ago when they could build up their own candidate and start campaigning for them. Instead, cuz they’re lazy, they’d rather now subvert democracy in a huff. They’re going to end up learning the lesson of Weimar Germany, that when the fascists come to power they murder the leftists. It’s what I can’t understand at this point, is it ignorance or is it malfeasance?
This same exact line has been thrown at leftists every election cycle for the last 50 years. The fun thing? The liberals sided with the fascists in Nazi Germany, lol.
I never suggested that leftists shouldn’t vote for Biden over Trump, but get off your high horse and realize that what’s good for liberals is not necessarily good for leftists, and leftists have a right to complain and criticize. Liberals are not entitled to votes just because they aren’t as bad as fascists, at the end of the day both are bad.
Again, I’m going to vote for Biden, but I’ll absolutely clown on him for being a lukewarm liberal propping up genocide as well.
If it’s been thrown at them for 50 years, which I don’t necessarily concede, it’s because they never do anything about it. Leftists don’t organize. Leftists don’t prop up candidates at local and small levels. Leftist don’t campaign. What leftists do is complain. What leftists do is cut each other down. What leftists do is turn up their noses at 80% of success because it’s not the other 20. Meanwhile conservative will happily chip away 20% at a time for 30 straight years till they get what they want.
Being a left is an America is one of the most frustrating things you can be, because we kill ourselves.
Dems: “LeFtIsTs DoNt OrGaNiZe BeHiNd A cAnDiDaTe”
Leftists: organize behind a candidate
Dems: “Yea but no” goes to court to tell leftists they do what they want fuck you
Ah it’s time for today’s episode of Schrodingers Leftist -
Just a bunch of stupid babies for Democrats to bat around for fun, never to be taken seriously
But also
Single handedly to blame for every single dem loss.
Just admit yall are just as fascist and capitalist as the Republicans and you hate leftists more than you do MAGA. 🤷
Biden could do more to attack Trump, too. Right-wing domestic terrorists are bolder now than ever and he’s letting it happen.
Why not both?
I’d love to see it, but Dems are going to run neither and try to skirt another “at least he’s not trump” win. Not excited to see how it plans out, 2020 was entirely too close for comfort.
