We are the punching bag until the center starts to get out of line and then the message goes back to "we need to come together for harm reduction" and then once the elections are over it is our fault the dems didn't win more or lost altogether

it's always really funny to me when they stumble accidentally upon the power of an organized working class but their perfectly spherical brains slip and slide right over the idea

Yes.
Both are simultaneously true and untrue depending on which one "proves" the current point a lib thinks they're making.

Indeed. Much of the senate is made up of people who think Reagan and Clinton days are just around the corner. They are hot just corrupt. They genuinely believe these policies will hurt the economy and America.

This was obviously the bargain democrats purposefully made, but it's still interesting seeing it play out so clearly in numbers. Biden's promise that "nothing will fundamentally change" really was the greatest distillation of his candidacy, and his loyal support is from the groups that want exactly that.

It’s going to be fun seeing them get slaughtered and try to shoulder on without large non white working class turnout.

I know the democrat party was bad but this is on a level I genuinely cannot begin to comprehend. it’s not even like they’re actively trying to lose because even then you would still have people fighting here and there. this is an almost complete surrender on every conceivable level of government.

All but admitting they've lost the thread, the only people still resolute in their 1950s style patriotism are the worst or the dumbest.

I mean it's still the case that the republican party are physical incarnations of man's depravity howling for an opportunity to feast on your blood.

Seeing through the Dems doesn't leave much option unless you can commit to their destruction.

really seems to me like 40% of voters are ride or die for the dems no matter what, 40% of voters are ride or die for the republicans no matter what, and the remaining 20% just hate whoever is currently in charge because nobody ever improves material conditions

Will you stop going crazy in there?
It's amusing seeing the democrats destroy their own demographic destiny argument. They're basically pulling the exact same poo poo as Republicans 20-30 years ago by just wrecking their entire non-white voter base.

No American political party can truly separate itself from racism because racism in the US is too closely tied to class interests.

I get it, especially the fact that there's simply a floor of support and that combined with the internalized concept that there are only two options. Still, even with those two facts in play, I'd expect it to read as "even by the standards of this is a democrat and I will always support democrats in opposition to republicans, do I think that this democrat is doing a good job?" and by that measure I'd say no, he's not.

I mean to say I'd expect Biden voters to see that even by their expectations he's doing a poor job, even if they still feel that any other alternative is probably worse.
