Would Warren be a good VP pick? Or would he go younger with someone like Tammy Baldwin?

Willo567 posted:Biden won't be threatening war every other month unlike Trump, and maybe we could actually get back into that Iran nuclear deal and not risk a huge, catastrophic war. No...he'll just be a caretaker president that does nothing to change the status quo, just in time for a more competent fascist than Trump to sail in on liberals' failures in 2024. No thanks. I won't vote for Biden; regardless of how much I want Trump gone.

Willo567 posted:Let's see what Trump has done so far They don't care, man. I pointed out how a lot of LGBT minorities stand to lose what gains they made and then even their safety to continue living in the case of trans people (There's been a number of attacks on their right to continue receiving medical care and employment. Which, given current events is bad.) if Donald wins the next election a week ago in the Protest Vote thread and I just got a lot of bullshit and double speak about how I loved voting for rapists when that was the exact opposite of what I was saying. To them it was just "Oh, I need to stick it to the DNC RIGHT loving NOW" and gently caress the consequences for other people. Basically, accelerationism with the usual result that accelerationism gets --- the weak get crushed and the comfortable get their feel-good-do-nothing activisim feelies. rear end in a top hat's are assholes, no matter what side of the political spectrum they're on.

You can be of the opinion that Biden is a bad choice and also be of the opinion that Trump is a far, far worse choice. In fact, I would bet my life on that. No way Biden is worse than Trump.

Yuzenn posted:Do you like laws? Because if we lose any more seats on the Supreme Court, every decision is about to be 6-3 or worse depending on how many of the Justices die/retire during this next presidential term. This is essentially where I'm at, at this point. Either this man gets kicked out of office or we literally lose every last progressive thing ever done in the name of making society better. Literally every last thing.

marshmonkey posted:This is how you can spot someone who hasn't really been that affected by the Trump presidency. My girlfriend's parents are steadfast never-Bidens despite being immigrants who barely speak English and feel threatened on a daily basis by Trump's policies. The problem is that they were actually present for Obama-era raids of their ESL and citizenship classes. It's not an uncommon attitude with people they know, either. They don't intend to vote this year, which will be a first for them since they became citizens.

Imagine furiously tweeting every outrageous thing Trump has done over the past 4 years and then pivoting directly to "welp, Biden would do the exact same thing" It's an impressive display of rational gymnastics.

Endorph posted:a lot of the people you're calling 'assholes' in this post are LGBT themselves. such as me Well then! Congrats on being an rear end in a top hat, from another LGBT person. Your actions will hurt other people. They have consequences. And I gotta say, if someone I know gets hurt because you let those murderous bigots stay in power then gently caress you right to hell. Asema posted:its weird that they use the LGBT argument when one candidate had glowing better support with our crowd than the other and hmmmmmm It's weird how assholes use this fall back when they get called out on being an rear end in a top hat. Never considering that maybe the person calling them out is in fact also one of the minorities that will be affected by it. Protest voting when the opposition party doesn't care about winning literally does not work. Because they care more about making sure their actually left leaning part party loses than they do winning. It's their system working as intended. You spoiling your vote isn't even going to be looked at as a thing that matters. Down ticket voting is what you want so they can't hold that sort of power any more. Meanwhile, protest voting on a vote for the executive while a tyrannical jackass and his genocidal religious zealot voters and corporate vulture backers are in control ends up with bodies in the morgue. Do the math, for petes sakes. Archonex fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Apr 8, 2020 |

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:yes. your defense of Joe Biden calling for the deaths of thousands, in order to reduce the chance that he found some way to trip over himself and give Sanders the nomination, is that it's okay he did that because the Republicans were the ones who actually pulled the trigger on the monstrous thing he wanted to happen. I didn't bring up up Joe Biden. You, Lemming, and Scrice did. I didn't defend him, either, but you know that already.

Slowpoke! posted:You can be of the opinion that Biden is a bad choice and also be of the opinion that Trump is a far, far worse choice. I think this is arguable point. A governing coalition of Biden + all the republicans + 25 Josh Gottheimer's could do a lot more legislative evil than a Trump second term could. Also, a Biden presidency that would completely deflate the left and the D base and would almost certainly make for an electoral massacre in 2022 and 2024.

Pulling Warren from the Senate would be a deeply questionable choice, and it's unclear that she would want it. "People close to" Biden's campaign have floated essentially every running mate you could think of. Abrams, Baldwin, Duckworth, Booker, Pete, Klob, Harris, Brown, and Beto are among the names that have been mentioned. Some are pretty good (even an OurRev name in there!), some are definitely not.

I'm not a minority, and while I don't claim it's anything like the same thing, I am someone with a preexisting condition. Biden has vowed to veto M4A. Biden had a hand in the "deporter in chief's" treatment of immigrants that led to Trump's actions in office. Biden has spent his entire political career working against women's reproductive freedom and the social safety net. I can't speak for anyone else, but being marginally better than Trump is not enough. We need better than "just good enough" if we're going to clean up the deep rot in this country, and Biden isn't the one to do it.

It’s a lovely choice, but if I had to choose between a rapist who is actively torching the country to the ground and a rapist who would at least turn the fire off, I’m going to go with the latter. (I would naturally prefer a candidate who isn’t a sex criminal, though)

Srice posted:The de facto democratic nominee for president said it was okay to go out and vote in person, and then changed his mind about how safe it was after the votes were cast. He didn't. He probably should have told people to stay home, but he didn't do that either and it probably barely mattered at all either way, realistically.

there's a challenging two-step to be performed here, if you're trying to proclaim this chain of events good. on the one hand, liberal opposition to Trump has always been based around his moral repugnance. the thought of taking an action that benefits this man, and the evil he wishes to do, should induce feelings of shame! guy's throwing kids in cages on the grounds their blood's a taint on the nation-body that must be expunged! this is an entirely understandable approach. but proclaiming that if you vote for somebody, it is effectively an endorsement of the horrible things they do puts you in a real ugly position re: one Joseph Biden. who knows, maybe he was sick on the day those cages were built.
