Biden will compromise with the GOP by only having 3% of immigrants imprisoned in cages then deported and only every 3rd person of color incarcerated for weed to show he can reach across the aisle and work with white supremecists in the vein of Strom Thurmond.

i mean thats not a good sign for trump if the GOP is basically going "every man for himself and try to hold the line".

This is like the 20th "Oh poo poo, everyone run away from Trump, he's suddenly toxic" moment they've had since Escalator Day. It doesn't last. McConnell blows the Horn of Eld and they turn right around in unison. They always go back to Trump.

Trump's term has seen the biggest push towards socialism of my lifetime. It's served as a stark counterpoint to decades of rubber-stamping liberalism as leftist. What are you basing your own statement on?

The biggest things that helped grow “the left” (an amorphous term that is often hard to pin down) were OWS, BLM, and then Sanders campaign for president, which all occurred before Trump won. It certainly carried over after 2016, but those seeds were planted before Trump. Using your logic, the left would have been super strong when W or Reagan were in charge, which, I can assure you, they were not.

Joementum starts his weekly with what he lays out as Biden's basic 3 VP tests

The excite-the-base test posted:

Biden, unlike many presumptive nominees, starts his vice presidential selection process with a lead in the polls. But he has vulnerabilities with younger voters and Latino voters, who heavily supported Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primaries, and he was the nominee least trusted by many left-wing groups at the start of the primary. Biden, who performed best in the primary with suburban whites and black voters of all kinds, has not run as strongly as Barack Obama did with the party's most liberal voters.

The ready-to-serve test posted:

Some candidates for president — Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Donald Trump — faced questions about their relevant experience and picked running mates whom they could pitch as governing partners. Biden's Washington résumé is longer than anyone who has ever sought the presidency, sparing him this problem. But while he has cryptically called himself a “bridge” to the next generation of leaders, he has also suggested he will pick someone who can be president on a moment's notice.
[...]
Does it matter whether voters immediately view a running mate as credible? It's only clear that a running mate who becomes viewed negatively can hurt. Voters have previously decided that a running mate was not up to the big job: in 1988, when George H.W. Bush picked Dan Quayle, and in 2008, when John McCain picked Sarah Palin. Both came to the national stage with relatively thin profiles, but voters did not begin to doubt their experience until both Quayle and Palin gave erratic performances.

The do-no-harm test posted:

Today’s Democrats are more nervous than ever about the Senate, particularly about the risk of handing Republicans a seat at the start of a Biden presidency. Just two of the longlist candidates would risk that. Warren would, under current Massachusetts law, be replaced by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker until a special election could be held, though the state’s Democratic supermajority could change that law and override a veto. (They've changed this statute twice in the past 20 years.) Sen. Tammy Baldwin would be replaced by no one, as Wisconsin law empowers the state legislature, now controlled by Republicans, to set an election to fill the seat.

No other Democrats being discussed have those precise issues to work out. Klobuchar, Harris and Cortez Masto would all be replaced by Democratic governors, though Klobuchar's departure from the Senate would set up a special 2022 election for her substitute; Harris's and Cortez Masto's replacements would simply fill out the rest of their current terms. Whitmer and Lujan Grisham would both be replaced by their own, Democratic, lieutenant governors.

None of the speculation at this point means anything, of course. But it's a useful framework to examine the pros/cons that Biden and his team are likely thinking through (which, obviously, don't necessarily align with the actual pros/cons of the pick).

And if enough people did fall for that we would absolutely mount a full throated resistance. We would get out there and perform general strikes and incite civil unrest. We'd tear down the camps in violation of our own laws and at risk of arrest. We definitely would not snipe at each other on twitter while our nominal opposition party sabotaged any effort to mount a democratic challenge, and instead ran a cynical last-choice candidate too corrupt and feebleminded to display even half-hearted leadership during ongoing national emergencies instigated by the madman.

I mean, that would just be crazy.
