I love this rapist hostage situation you've got going on where you actively deny people the opportunity to have a better world and actively fight progressives tooth and nail and undermine them and slander them and cheat against them all in order to protect the interests of people WHO HAVE A COMPLETE OPPOSITE INTEREST TO THAT BETTER WORLD and then you gaslight them with your little act of 'I just want progress man' when you and I both know that Biden and Obama have worked overtime to prevent that better world from coming and wont even concede anything of real value. You've had eight years of Obama proving beyond a shadow of a doubt who he works for and how little of a poo poo he gives about you and you. Bidens entire life and career was dedicated to everything wrong in this country, you're asking me to believe people who have decades of evil and cruelty under their belts and ignore everything they've ever done in their lives. I'm sure Obama "I made America Oil Independent and literally saved wall street" gives a flying gently caress about the environment and your kids dude.

I supported Sanders and Warren in the primary, but now that the primaries are over and Bernie has Bent The Knee, there's one option for making life in this world better and it's voting for Joe Biden because all else is letting Trump and the GOP continue to dismantle and embezzle it.

And it doesn't matter at all to me how little of a poo poo Obama or Biden gives about me; his policies around the environment, health care, fairness in hiring practices, and LGTBQ support has made my, my family's, and my friend's lives all immeasurably better. There are still ways to go and things that need to be fixed, but throwing a temper tantrum around "not good enough" doesn't actually make anything better. I don't expect Biden to do half of what he says, especially if the GOP maintain control of the Senate, but things will be better, if not in the great and glorious socialist revolution that will never actually come to pass.

Alright you know what, gently caress you.

You think anybody in this forum is happy Biden won? That Sanders and his ideas for a brighter future were rejected by an electorate more concerned about who pays for what and who deserves things like income and healthcare? It loving sucks! It all loving sucks! We're all trapped inside with a goddamn pandemic raging across the globe, many with jobs lost or delayed in part because the current administration is so incompetent and malicious it would rather have each and every one of us die than see the dow go down a single point. We're living on a dying planet where natural beauties and wonders are wiped out every day over human greed and stupidity, and there may not even be a planet worth living on in the next century. And you think nobody knows this?!

Biden loving sucks, the party loving sucks, for a variety of reasons we can argue about until we all die from lead poisoning. Nobody in the Democratic Party is going to save this country, and this includes Sanders. But you know what loving sucks more? When assholes like you shout from your righteous soapbox that the very real differences between them and the Republicans don't matter. You loving rear end in a top hat, I know people who were put at risk over this crisis because Trump's corrupt Secretary of the Interior wouldn't shut down National Parks. Everyone knows someone or were themselves effected in some way by the callous and cruel acts of this administration. And you have the loving gall to sit there and tell me that the health and safety of my coworkers doesn't loving matter? Telling people who are reluctantly voting for Biden that they're dogshit or worse for wanting something better than what we have now, as weak as that improvement may be?

You don't have a monopoly on anger. Nobody does. We're all angry and we're all disappointed. So get off your goddamn high horse and don't take it out on people who want to make the best of the poo poo we've got.

I'm in the same boat. As an obviously non-white person that's worked in a majority minority city for 17 years, seeing the contrast between Bush's DOJ and Obama's DOJ when it came to communities was undeniable. The push for community engagement and better policing through ties to the community helped so much where I worked. To such an extent that even the police, who we would host meetings for, were actually worried that the disposition change with Trump getting elected would end up deep sixing a whole lot of the gains they'd made.

This is a chapo take but there's nothing illegal or even stupid about a Ukrainian natural gas firm with zero name recognition paying a Biden just to have someone with the name Biden on their board. All they're doing is signaling to potential investors and clients that they are a real company.

Same here. I've voted for Sanders in two elections in a row but I can't afford not to pull the lever for Biden. He's endorsing college loan forgiveness, and removing $64k of debt, before interest, would be life-changing for me. Even my hopes of PSLF are shot to poo poo under another Trump administration. I can't imagine making the choice to sit out, or being rich enough to consider it an option.

Well, the first "because" is debatable. The second has some truth in it, but you flat-out said, and I quote, a "socialist revolution that will never actually come to pass." That's a fundamentally different claim from "you shouldn't frame your movement in terms of full socialist revolution being the only hope."

it's a very good attack in the But Her Emails vein for precisely the reason it generates dumb defenses like this

"look, TECHNICALLY there's nothing illegal about my fuckup kid getting a no-show job that pays more than you'll make over the course of your entire life, from people worried I might make rulings unfavorable to them" is a one hundred percent accurate statement. it also reinforces the underlying attack, that democrats and their enablers are hopelessly corrupt, tenfold.

because it gets you to say that as far as you're concerned buying influence is fine, when the people selling it have the right letter by their names.

The chud protestors don't have an answer for how they expect to force people to go to these places once they open back up. Sure, a good number of people will take the risk but a way larger number probably won't.
