See this is your problem, you think anyone who isn’t progressive is a republican. Nice job adding to their tent and limiting yours.

I think you’re buying into the Right Wing kool-aid just a little too much.

Obama was able to pass the ACA even with the Centrists. Biden was able to pass the largest green bill in history after concessions were made for Manchin, who particularly didn’t like the stick part of the act, which would have impacted him personally.

Calm down there, we don’t live in Russia.

Yet.

You’re acting like Centrists don’t want climate change legislation, or didn’t support the Inflation reduction act. Or that they don’t support a wealth tax.

Sinema and Manchin do not represent the full body of Centrists. There are hundreds of them in Congress that supported all of these initiatives.

I mean, did they really have to try that hard? The man said he was proud to be the first black woman vice president.

Keep on, these Ad hominem attacks are surely going to get folks to line up behind you.

This thread is the first I’ve seen where the keep Bideners are in stronger numbers than the ditch Bideners.

It’s refreshing, but, just like the .ml folks, I think y’all need to also look outside your own bubble.

When you look at the history across the world where you have a wounded weak incumbent and a conservative firebrand, who usually wins the election? Do you really think we’re so much different?

At my job, when a company says “we’re just too different” we challenge that and ask “in what way?” The majority of the time, it’s just that company is too rigid to change.

To bring it back to politics, we have a convention for a reason. It’s only up until recent history where the convention is more of a rubber stamp rather than a true conversation about the direction of the party.

Would you have supported the idea a year ago? I wouldn’t, and I doubt you would have either.

Please refer to your comment that I responded to. You mention that you’d think I should have said I supported him until the genocide. So I gave you why I still supported him.

I have no qualms to having side discussions on my views, it may help you see my perspective and why my conclusion of the main topic differs from your own.

Again to poorly quote John Oliver, if the Brits and French can do it in a few months, so can we.

How refreshing would it be to have someone who is actually eloquent who can clearly convey his/her progressive ideals to the public? Remember how inspirational Obama was? Joe voter absolutely voted for that kind of candidate and would do so again.

I’ll be 100% honest with you here. My feelings on the Jewish / Palestine conflict are very mixed.

If you care about the Palestinians because you disapprove of war and genocide, then I think you should also understand that Hamas made their bed when they murdered and raped Jews at the start of the conflict. And believe me, I know the cassus belli for this have been there for even before my parents were born.

I also am aware that most of you will downvote my opinion on this matter. That’s your right, but the world is indeed nuanced, neither side is in the right here and the evangelicals will only continue to fan the flames until their perceived Judgement Day has come.

If you care what’s happening there, you should also care about what’s happening in Ukraine, Darfur, with the Rohingya, the Congo, Yemen, the Uyghurs and the First Nations in America, and likely more that I don’t even know about.

But the way through those is to ensure we have a strong state department. You know who would tear down the state department like he did in his first term?

I’ll vote for his corpse, but I’m not sure Joe voter in Pennsylvania will.

My conclusion is not insane, it’s practical. I was a 100% Biden supporter, defended him vehemently. You can check my history here and in Kbin. He was my pick in 2016 (ironically though, after Kamala and Booker dropped from the race). Hell, I fucking stood up and cheered during the SOTU. My wife calls him her grandpa.

And then I watched that disastrous debate. He clearly isn’t all there anymore. And my eyes opened entirely. The signs have been there for years.

I love what he’s done for our country. I love his cabinet. I follow politics probably more than 90% of y’all here and have for decades. I was there for Bill when he won against all odds. I was decimated when Al Gore, who was probably our best shot for climate change policy, lost to Bush and Nader. And again I was spurned when Hillary lost by thin margins in swing states while trouncing the popular vote.

Hell, I’ll likely run for some office someday. How many else of you would actually belly up to the bar rather than just bluster here?

Our guy’s mind is deluded. The tip of our spear has blunted. It’s time to take grandpas keys away before he wraps our family’s only car around a lightpole.

I like AOC, but do you really think she has her constituents best interest at heart if trump is leading the polls?

And by centrists supporting fascism…elaborate please. What do Centrists support that you think are Fascist tenets?

If it’s too hot for you, get out of the fucking kitchen.

She has the funds. Does she still get to keep them if she’s not top of ticket?

As one of my favorite chess streamers likes to say “the truth hurts.”

She’s a top fundraiser in the party. She comes from a prominent district. She led the party through historic legislation. She knows what it’s like to step down from a position of power.

Need I say more?

I literally thought it was for militant, because that’s how they come off over there if you’re not 100% in lockstep with them.

Like they were fighting the man or something.

I’m upvoting this and the Bob Newhart post for very different reasons.
