Moderates and liberals picked a loser of a candidate in the 2020 primaries.

Here's Biden pulling the football.

Which Dem leadership is against sending weapons? Name them.

EDIT: Can't do it apparently.
EDIT 2: Names three people, two of which I've never seen referred to as "dem leadership", can't quantify how they're defining "dem leadership" because if you include Bernie and AOC it's nowhere near 50%.

Democrats "try" all sorts of shit they know has no chance of succeeding and then fumble golden opportunities. Joe Biden is a politician and a trash human being. He created the student debt problem.

Sounds like you know something Biden's campaign team doesn't.

People in here really want us to give the guy a medal for making bare minimum fixes to a problem he created.

He did pull the football. He campaigned on $50k forgiveness and then negotiated down to $10k after he was elected.

? If someone decides that they don’t want to vote because they have a moral quandary with voting for the “lesser of the two evils”

Moderates and liberals do have such a quandary. It's used as the reason why Biden blocked the rail strike, why he negotiated down on his own campaign promise for student loan forgiveness and why he didn't cut off weapon shipments to Israel. Simply put, people argue if Biden made material compromises with leftists and progressives then moderates and liberals wouldn't vote for him.

When America keels over, a power vacuum opens up.

As an American, yes please. I'm tired of all my tax payer dollars going to defense spending. Meanwhile China managed to build an entire high speed rail network.

It's not that hard to put together. After three years of this bullshit Biden has created a reputation for himself doing this exact sort of thing. He's a trash human being.

Have you asked any moderates or liberals that question?

Obviously you didn't read the article.

The Debt Collective named Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) as particularly responsible for the language.

Super easy to dismiss when it was shot down. Procorporate Democrats are champions at fighting for lost causes and accidentally fumbling easy wins.

44 Democrat senators voted to block the rail strike. Fuck that procorporate trash.

I don't care.

Biden wants my vote, those are the terms. If he thinks he can win without it or a loss to Trump isn't a big deal then he can just keep doing what he's doing.

Lol that wouldn't be enough to make me vote for him. Seems like he'd just walk that back the day after the election.

If it won't have any effect then what's the problem?

Biden is going to either be remembered for guiding neoliberalism into a graceful retirement or propping it up until it catastrophically collapses.

But in the end they got everything the union had asked for.

They were fighting for 15 sick days.

How many of the rail workers now have 15 sick days?

You're a fucking liar.
