Nairbo posted:Jesus I’m not even American and I think some of you are dumb for your doomer poo poo. Biden isn’t going to come back and win this, he’s absolutely done. The only person with even a sliver of possibility to win against this momentum would be Bloomberg but that won’t Happen its how a lot of us felt at the end of 2016 on voting night. djt would never win, he's a complete fuckhead who openly admitted to sexual harassment and oh wait oops he won. the time to rest is after bernie's the president-elect and not a moment sooner. E: its important to keep the fire on for all the down ticket races too. its not just the top. we have to crush this election

How are u posted:I think the "Biden loses to Trump, 100% of the time, carve it in stone, it's a law of physics" poo poo is absolutely an artifact of this thread being an echo chamber. Biden sucks, but he'll beat Trump. That was said in 2016, too (just replace Biden with Clinton).

booseek posted:Centrism is much less an ideology than it is a strategy. If the wind blows left -- and it's loving hurricane-ing left -- they will move left. All the centrist talk about budgets and all that is because of the centrist belief that they can get moderates on their side. ah yes, just like 2008, where we had a progressive, hurricane-winds movement in Obama, who proceeded to poo poo all over his campaign promises and deliver an excruciatingly terrible "moderate" two terms in which we bailed out too-big-to-fail banks with no real repercussions and managed to pass a Republican health care plan that did little of value. also  at biden being the "furthest left president"

booseek posted:What did Obama promise? A public option, which couldn't pass, and would have been a little bit better than Obamacare. And Obamacare is not a "plan," but a law that did a lot of good like expand Medicaid and made denying for pre-existing conditions illegal. "Couldn't pass"? The ACA was a total handout to insurers. The Medicaid expansion was optional and a lot of states decided not to implement it. But it did add a penalty tax if you didn't have insurance, while implementing a horrible mismash of "exchanges" that offered absolute garbage plans that were arguably worse than being uninsured. (High cost, even higher deductibles, and coverage caps that meant you'd still be hosed in almost any case.) It did good, but again, it was a Republican plan.

If only this was used as a reason to move to fully absentee, mail-in ballots everywhere. And change all the election days to be the same rather than the disjointed hell-mess it is now.

V. Illych L. posted:i think there is a value to the collective political demonstration that voting day is I don't. Absentee and mail-in ballots are far more accessible and (arguably) less prone to voter disenfranchisement bullshit. Any value in demonstrations like that pales in comparison.

Republicans posted:If Obama taught us anything never start a negotiation with republicans from a point of compromise. Isn't that negotiation in general? You gun for what you want and go back and forth and hope you find something both parties can agree to. Granted, the range where both parties will agree might as well not exist, but regardless it makes no sense to start having already compromised away two thirds of what you want.

It's infuriating how many people fall for just screenshots. They've always been easy to edit, but in recent years it's only gotten easier to mess with webpages and fake poo poo.

Marxalot posted:Cable news is nothing but a loving poison, and we won't have anything remotely resembling a democracy so long as those immensely wealthy propagandists hold power over us  The 24-hour news cycle and the pivot towards sensationalism and reaction-garnering reporting has been absolutely toxic for anyone who wants to actually stay informed. poo poo's only covered as long as it gets ratings and then it's dropped and buried for the latest mild controversy. quote:Biden isn't attacking Trump because reasons It's like watching Charlie Brown going to kick the football, except Lucy isn't there to take the football away because Charlie Brown didn't even bother to bring one.

Dude got out of it with way less consequences than he should have, but then he also got away with it for way, way, way too long.
