That doesn't mean Biden should just coast to the general without fighting for a majority of voters by courting them with policies they care about. Legalizing marijuana would be a great literal fig leaf to gain him a huge segment of voters. March is not the point to circle the wagons and ask every breathing adult to just accept a half assed canidate just because he's less worse.

SimonCat posted:There was also the talk from Biden's staff of re-instituting the judicial filibuster. Can anybody find a source on that because it's come up multiple times here and in USPOL, and I have never found one. Best Friends posted:So the pro-Biden story is he was on her side, but just incredibly dumb and bad at politics and aw shucks looks like those mean republicans lapped him again. Obviously I can't prove or disprove what's in his heart of hearts, but I will say that your defense of Biden as "he's just incredibly bad at politics and had a whoopsie" is arguably more disqualifying of him than my charge, that he was actively playing the game to assist the conservative agenda. The end results are the same in both our narratives, but at least in my narrative he wasn't a moron. A: Oh come the gently caress on, that isn't what I said and you know it. B: Jesus not everything is a conspiracy. You know what I think happened? Biden wanted to do "diligence" to the accusations, but didn't want to appear partisan in dragging them out and tarring Thomas' reputation, and may not himself have taken the accusations as seriously as he should have, because at the time he was almost certainly a sexist rear end in a top hat, which was practically a given for a senator in those days. So he did the hearings, got them over with, and then voted against Thomas. I mean for god's sake, if he was trying to protect Thomas (Which is a loving insane and extremely ahistoric accusation) he wouldn't have asked for the FBI investigation or held the hearings in the first place. And that didn't stop Thomas' nomination because there were 11 lovely dems, of whom Biden was not one, who decided to vote for him anyway. e: tl;dr he wasn't incompetent or some kind of republican plant, he was just an rear end in a top hat Acebuckeye13 fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Mar 28, 2020 |

Yeah except that line item veto was deemed unconstitutional. Clarence Thomas was a big part of that. Congress has the absolute power of the purse. So we're going to have to see what happens. Also gently caress whoever wrote that tweet. What an obnoxious rear end in a top hat.

Biden was pressured by other Dems to investigate and pressured to get the FBI involved. He then (by some accounts) used the FBI investigation as evidence for private belief Hill was lying. If this sounds familiar, it's exactly what Republicans did with Kavanaugh quote:The staffers working for Metzenbaum and Kennedy, however, took Hill’s allegations more seriously and were the first to reach out to her. They urged Biden’s staff to talk to Hill as well. But the effort languished in Biden’s office, where his staff followed his personal rules, which went beyond those of the Senate. The aide who investigated the claim, for instance, declined to call Hill, requiring that Hill instead initiate contact. Once they spoke, the aide declined to act on Hill’s allegation unless Hill consented to Biden’s office confronting Thomas directly and disclosing Hill’s name to him. Hill, who hadn’t asked for any of this, demurred. Biden’s aide concluded that Hill had merely wanted to “get it off her chest.” The public, meanwhile, heard nothing about it. quote:

Oh here's Joe Biden speaking in 2010 from Baghdad about the handover to the Iraqi government. Doesn't take much credit for it, keeps talking about how they are fulfilling the deal made by W. States that the Iraqi forces are more than capable of a handling any threat and that the Iraqi Special Forces are on par with any in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpff6B9yzZY
