Joe is an extremist when it comes to Israel, even for a right-wing democrat. He literally went around Obama to make promises to Netanyahu during their term. If we get someone without dementia and who is less enthusiastic about killing palestinian children that’s still a net benefit.
Harris is best to mitigate legal challenges.
This is exactly what people were warned about with “games as a service” nonsense. No one wanted to listen.
They wouldn’t be doing it if there wasn’t a plan to get consumers to be paying more in the end.
This is up there with web developers not respecting the Back button.
Fuck you in particular, Microsoft website.
The political compass is a means to normalize right-wing political philosophy – it’s three right-wing quadrants against one left, and implies by its design that the “sensible” centrist position includes some degree of compromise with fascism. It’s a political trojan horse for far-right ideology.
Fuck the political compass. That can stay on reddit.
We’re all feeling unwell I think.
Biden isn’t too old, he’s too mentally incompetent and decrepit.
Yang’s a grifter.
With the way the DNC is it would be Harris or, more likely, Hillary Clinton.
Well, it was nice having clean drinking water while it lasted.
But, you know what they say, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Gotta be moderate on these things you know? Gotta think of those shareholders. A little bit of corporate fascism, a little bit of ineffectual left leaning virtue signaling. Those extremist far left will destroy the country with their healthcare, environmental protections and taxation on the hyper-wealthy.
According to conservatives you’re suppose to die. The cruelty is the point.
This is the way the DNC set their rules up, they’ve been ok using the system to kneecap progressives, I see no reason that they shouldn’t do that to Biden. I’m not precious about the DNC and I have no illusion that it’s democratic, so they just need to stop pretending they’re being held back by principles and just pull the levers they always pull to control the convention outcome.
Yes, Trump is extremely racist. He’s also a right-winger, so that’s a given. The distinction between someone horrible like Trump and his opposition should be that the opposition is not horribly racist and fascist and doesn’t do things like fund a genocide.
I don’t vote for Democrats because of their label, I vote based on their potential to actually be meaningfully better. Biden is indistinguishable from your rank and file Republican, and while that’s “slightly less bad” than Trump himself, it’s not good enough. I am not a Republican, and I will not vote for representatives who share so many of their views. Biden needs to go, he’s going to cost the Democrats the election.
So you don’t believe in forgiveness or redemption?
Not for elected representatives, no. We’re not talking about someone’s uncle Randy who grew up in poverty and never went to school or met a black person or w/e. This is an educated person from a well-off background, they don’t have an excuse. There are plenty of other smart, motivated people out there who are fit for office and are morally consistent on these uncomplicated issues like racism.
Anyone who takes 80 years to become slightly less racist than their younger days is not someone I want running for office. Forgive them, give them credit for sorting out their personal prejudices, sure, but they need to do that on their own time, we don’t have time for leaders who are still struggling with the basics.
Biden has always been hawkish on immigration, even under Obama, whether this recent attempt was a ploy or not, it wasn’t a ploy during all the other times in his career he advocated for punishing immigration policy.
A person’s view shouldn’t have to change on racial justice and equality, particular someone who’spart of the Democratic party. Sanders is just as old and he’s always been on the right side of history, it has nothing to do with age.
Biden is still racist and even if his far-right border policy was a gambit that’s really irresponsible, given the GOP could’ve easily just accepted the no-strings attached policy win. People need to stop making excuses for shitty politicians, and need to stop allowing the lesser evil be the enemy of good enough.
Yes, because these debates are not won by whoever is more factual, they’re won by whoever has better rhetoric, which is why it’s such a fool’s errand for Biden to undertake it to begin with.
People who vote based on facts aren’t going to learn anything new watching this debate, this is a circus for low-information voters who decide to vote based on “vibe”.
There doesn’t have to be a strong candidate, just anyone stronger than Biden who’s basically zombie-crawling across the floor.
He absolutely can be replaced at this stage, and by nearly anyone.
Joe’s a racist too. His immigration policy is identical to Trump’s and he’s been outspoken in his seeing palestinians as subhuman.
The guy fought against school integration even before he got this old. He’s always been a racist pos same as any Republican.
She was a prosecutor, not a cop. But in this context it doesn’t really matter, there isn’t going to be a progressive option.
