    That’s the worst part.

    Biden wants us to believe the worst thing that can happen to America is trump in office.

    And he’s right.

    But instead of logically realizing that means he should be doing what voters want, he thinks that should mean he can do anything he wants, and if we don’t like it that’s not his fault.

    It’s exactly the same as Hillary in 2016.

    Neoliberals don’t want Republicans to be less extreme, they want Republicans to be so terrible that it makes the neoliberal standing next to them feel like a good option. Even if that means sometimes people like trump becomes president.

      So start sharpening the knives! Support grassroots leftist groups in your area. Support your local union, if you’re a member, and maybe talk with them about what politicians they want to endorse.

      The Democrats will only move further and further right, until they are indistinguishable from moderate Republicans, but right now every year a Democrat is in power is time for leftists to organise with the intent of breaking off. I’ve been getting a lot of hope from the pro-Palestinian protests I’ve been going to, I think they can be a great place to network with leftist groups if you’re looking.

        First of all, wrong verb tense, and second, “until” implies they stopped when they reached that point.

        The Democratic Party has been right of Eisenhower for a while now.

      i’ve said this before, and i’ll say this again: when the Dems lose, don’t blame the Trump voters or the tiny amount of 3rd-party voters. They should blame themselves for not getting the gigantic bloc of non-voters to vote blue because they ran a candidate that people hated.

        I don’t wanna brag but I can blame Dems and Trump voters at the same time. I’m built different.

        Heck, in 2016 I even blamed the media obsession with Trump making him popular, I’ll blame anything.

          Spitting facts. Dems have and will always have blood on their hands for making Trump what he is. Fucking Hilary’s campaign propped him up so that they could push the right to extremes and paint them an easy target.

          Guess what happens when you play with fire?

          Don’t forget to also blame Hillary for pushing Trump because she thought he would be the easiest to beat.

      The problem is that what you think voters want is different than what voters actually want.

      There’s a LOT of pro-Israel Democrat voters out there. You just don’t associate with them.

      You think Biden is supporting Israel for the funzies? Because he just loves genocide? Grow up. Biden has a lot of voters who want him to support Israel.

      If Trump gets in I hope he at least starts throwing Biden and the other old fucking morons in prison. Then they can take a look at what they’ve done and realize that this shit is their fucking fault for not helping a genocide take place.
