Why is the answer never “Biden has to do something bold and public to earn the votes of the unexcited, rather than leaning on I’m-not-Trump?”
The student loan thing night have worked if the courts didn’t shoot it full of holes. Why is he not promising to pack the courts to force it through? Stonewall any legislation that limps through the knife-edge House until they codify Roe? Go for the fucking jugular on something!
Showing some real backbone to Bibi might help, but we can’t possibly have that.
I keep expecting they’ll reschedule marijuana for the desperate hail mary. You’d think it was perfect for him because in many ways it wouldn’t really change the status quo of state-level legalization, but shows he’s at least read a dorm room poster at some point in his life.
Because when Obama did it in 08, all those bitter moderates voted Republican.
And they’re still shitty that it didn’t stop Obama for daring to run against Hillary when it was her turn.
So for 16 years they’ve been repeating to themselves that a progressive candidate can’t win because moderates will vote Republican. Even though the only time in modern history it happened, the progressive still flipped a bunch of red states in a huge win.
The people running the DNC are fucking terrible at getting Democrats elected, because they don’t have the same idea of what a democratic candidate should be as what party voters think a candidate should be.
It’s a really childish view of what voting is supposed to be. No, Biden isn’t everything you want, but Trump is a DUMPSTER FIRE who will actively make your life WORSE.
So your choice is:
- Vote for Biden
- Don’t vote, and elect Trump
- Vote 3rd party and elect Trump
- Vote for Trump
“Hey, if that guy wins, he’s going to rob everyone then set fire to their grandmother. That means we can simply do nothing and it’s a shoe-in!”
“Au contraire, mon frere. That means so long as we don’t set fire to people’s grandmothers, not only do we get to rob everyone, but they’ll thank us for doing it, and we will own them.”
Yeah no. We’ll take the L just to see you get robbed too, and the smoke from your burning grandmothers will be as incense in our nostrils.
If the motherfucker thinks people will give him a pass on genocide as tribute for saving the country from trump, he’s going to get a brutal fucking lesson in petty spite.
Biden is NOT the one committing genocide. Save that ire for Bibi where it belongs.
Biden is sending bibi new weapons daily
And Bibi is the one choosing to use them.
“I didn’t kill anyone, I just gave the homicidal maniac a better gun. And then after he had already killed a lot of people, I went above and beyond to get him more ammo.”
How do you feel about moral responsibility for people who fund terrorists? No harm, no foul as long as they’re not personally planting bombs?
When Trump doubles the US’s support for Israel I hope you get a good view from up on your high horse.
They should refuse to participate in a system that does not represent them or their needs. It’s not enough for Biden to say we are not trump when most of his policies are carried over from Trump or are variations of them. In 2020 they voted for Biden and got more of trump.
I’d like to know exactly what policies you’re referring to.
Let me ask you, how do you feel about the Patriot act? What about the no default student loans? What about the increase of incarcerations from a heighten war on drugs?
Why do you think voting for the guy who did all this just one more time is going to undo all of that when he spent his entire carrier catering to people even more right than the Democrats?
They are also ‘saving democracy’ by passing warrantless spying
Look buddy, you don’t get it. I understand that you don’t want chlamidya, but if you don’t want gonorrhea you’re going to have to make some though choices ok? And if not well it’ll be you’re fault were all getting chlamidya. Anyway, just one more vote bro, this is the most important election ever I swear! We’ll fix it this time, I swear!
Man these right-wingers are annoying. I thought it would be better here on Lemmy than it used to be on Reddit, but I guess standard issue Americans are everywhere :/
Lol I got upvote for this. I don’t think the Democrats understand that they are the right-wingers in my comment. Not the sharpest tools in the shed. Zero self awareness.
Back in real life, your lame attempt at sarcasm or whatever is pretty apparent. The usual “OMG I’m so left wing that we should get Trump elected” bullshit.
So apparent that before I pointed it out I was sitting at +10. Like I said not the sharpest tool in the shed. But also despicable.
Literally no leftists wants Trump to get elected. We just think you’re doing it to yourselves. He is a natural consequence of your continued support for this system.
50 years of the ‘lesser evil’ that’s grown so large and they can’t stand the monster they helped create
Vs doing what? This shit is so unrealistic.
The typical liberal solution is keep feeding the monster they created
I love how anything that’s remotely anti-Biden or anti-Democrat gets downvoted around here… god forbid the “politics” sub is neutral…and not one-sided like Reddit…
The user posting is known to post propaganda. If you’ve read the article, you’d see how one-sided it is. And if young people are turned off by both candidates, why is the article only discussing the supposed “young liberals” that aren’t going to vote? Where are the young conservatives?
Hi, it’s me. The Russian/China/MAGA bot. Just because you don’t agree with the article doesn’t mean it’s not real. Instead of burying your head in the sand, learn why some voters aren’t supporting Biden.
It’s propaganda through and through. I’ve pointed out exactly why it’s propaganda. Try to prove me otherwise.
These are all news articles from mainstream liberal and leftist sources. That doesn’t make it propaganda.
Do you remember how much of an echo chamber Reddit’s/r/politics became? Is that what you want for Lemmy’s politics too? Nobody can be critical of Biden or the Democratic party?
Except I’ve pointed out exactly why it’s propaganda. I’m critical of Biden, too, but the article you posted, which isn’t the first time, is clear propaganda. You can continue to post this shit but don’t be surprised when people call you our for it.
Well stick around, November is a long ways away.
I’m gonna go and check what are the top 3 posts for the past week in !politics@lemmy.world and !world@lemmy.world
Okay fuck. None of it is anti Biden. However, story number 4 is “Nancy Pelosi Among 40 House Democrats Demanding Biden Halt Weapon Transfers to Israel.” +486 upvotes, -15 downvotes
Seems like if it’s criticism that makes sense, people are fine with it, and if it’s just an excuse to throw poop nuggets at him, people don’t like it. For example I’m not really aware of any significant contingent that thinks it’s anything other than horrifying that Biden is supporting Israel in its genocide.

This is why we cant trust them, they say one thing, then do another
