Bloody hell
I predict more of a narrative blaming leftists for tanking the election by not coming out for the moderate.
Yeah, I don't know where "Trump is going to win by default" stuff is coming from. A lot of voters are showing up and it will only get crazier in November.
That makes Him a strong man the type that boomers loveThe contempt Biden has to anyone that refuses to fall in line is insane. Imagine if Bernie had told half the amount of people to fuck off at rallies that Biden has.
I got banned from Sanders For President for asking why he thought it was a good idea not to visit Selma lol.
I don't get the enthusiasm arguments. They aren't voting...how excited can they be?
Will Biden even serve a second term? Or are we going to be having an open primary again in 4 years even if Biden wins in November?
Biden signals to aides that he would serve only a single term
Advisers weigh the merits of a one-term pledge by the 77-year-old former vice president.www.politico.com
this is the second candidate were running with virtually no enthusiasm with anyone born after the 1980s. fuck everything dude
People coming out big time. This bodes well for November.
I guess, but like if that is what is gonna sink him against our own attack ads that can clearly point out Trump admitting sexual assault, being impeached, getting rid of the pandemic response team, and a whole host of other things then I dunno dudeThe worry about that moment is that Biden gift wrapped an attack ad for the Trump war room. People agree with Biden, but backing Beto's "Hell yeah I'm taking your AR-15" and this physical threat to "an all American working class union member" is going to be a bad look to the undecided voters on the fence.
How are you not being met halfway? Have you seen Bidens positions? A lot of them would have seemed revolutionary 10 years ago. Bernie has dragged the party left, which is awesome. His candidacy has had a dramatic effect on the left and that impact is historic. Meeting you halfway is meeting you on policy, not giving you the nomination when you don't have the votes.
Some of those policies for the record. On just a few of the major issues:
Child Care: Biden is for universal free Pre-K for kids who are 3-4.
Education: Biden is for two free years of community college or technical schooling. He also supports doubling the maximum value of Pell Grants and a student loan forgiveness program which will make it so you don't have to pay anything back on student loans if you are making under 25,000 a year. He also proposes a cap on the maximum amount annually at 5% of your income over 25,000 a year with full forgiveness after 20 years. So if you make 50,000 a year, only 5% of 25,000 is your maximum yearly contribution. That's 1,250 a year. He is also for using federal funds to even out the funding for all schools so that those in higher property tax areas don't receive more resources.
Environment: Ensure the U.S. achieves a 100% clean energy economy and reaches net-zero emissions no later than 2050 . He plans to do this by focusing on wind and solar energy.
Guns: He supports universal background checks, a gun buyback program, and an assault weapon ban.
Immigration: Supports DACA and DAGA path to citizenship. Wants to end workplace raids. Plans to increase worker VISAs. Restore the asylum system and end family separation. End for profit detention centers.
Reparations: Is open to it and has promised to have a committee to look into how this could be applied.
Minimum Wage: Supports a $15.00 an hour minimum wage
Family Leave: Supports 12 weeks of paid family leave
Sick Leave: Supports universal paid sick leave, though details on how much are scarce
Iran: Will rejoin the Iran Nuclear deal
Israel/Palestine: Will support a two state solution
Criminal Justice Reform: Believes nobody should be jailed for drug use alone, wants users to be sent for treatment if anything. Eliminate mandatory minimums. Eliminate the death penalty. Eliminate cash bail. A full end to private prisons. Guaranteed housing for those leaving prison. Supports full restoration of voting rights upon release.
Marijuana: Complete decriminalization and wants to release and expunge the record of anyone in jail for it now. True legalization to be left to the states.
Internet Access: Wants to invest 20 billion in funding to expand rural broadband access.
Statehood: Is for making both Washington DC and Puerto Rico States.
LGBTQ Issues: Supports Gay marriage, the Equality Act, and Transgender military service
Health Care: Ensure a public option is created which covers primary care without co-payments. Make sure those who would qualify for medicaid if their state would only expand coverage are offered premium free coverage on the public option. Plans to offer premium tax credits which will significantly lower costs for those who have insurance they would keep. Make in-network/out of network determined solely by location and not the doctor you see to avoid surprise billing. Repeal the law stopping medicare from negotiating drug prices. Allow consumers to import drugs from out of the country, stopping the current issue where often drugs are far more expensive in the US. Protect abortion rights. Restore federal funding to Planned Parenthood.
Will Biden do anything about the children camps? He'll change the immigration policies about sepration but I don't think he said anything about improving the children facilities to a livable standard
Right wing conspiracy theories help nobody besides Trump.
Why are you repeating them?
Add r/politics to this. There was literally not a single thread about Biden winning any state on the night of Super Tuesday on the 1st page of r/politics lmao.
The worry comes across as completely disingenuous when you supported a self-described Socialist and showed no willingness to compromise on any other left-wing position in the name of "electability".The worry about that moment is that Biden gift wrapped an attack ad for the Trump war room. People agree with Biden, but backing Beto's "Hell yeah I'm taking your AR-15" and this physical threat to "an all American working class union member" is going to be a bad look to the undecided voters on the fence.
Yeah, bigger turnout almost always helps Dems. And think most people don't fuck with primaries
This is kind of a disgusting take.
This is rough man.Fuck this country dude. This was our last chance. Here's to more deportations, more people dying because of no health care, more people drowning in debt, more racial injustices being ignored, more wars killing brown people in other countries. But at least white liberals will be happy. My disdain for whites, specifically white people who pretend to be allies grows everyday.
This has nothing to do with Bernie, it's the fact that we have a system that is fundamentally broken. From gun policy to healthcare, there's a gridlocked system that leads to everything being nearly impossible to change. The only time anything gets passed is when it has to do with war. The political system has flaws nearly impossible to fix until seemingly everyone over 55 in Congress gets defeated, resigns, or dies. Even Bernie winning wouldn't have helped much. So far every state has stated their support for Medicare for all, every state, yet I guarantee not ever senator from those states would vote for it, let alone the fact that our candidate said he'd veto it. I thought the point of these guys was to listen to us and do what we wanted, it's all a big ass farce.
I mean, he wasn't. You act like AOC and Ayanna Pressley don't exist. Like the whole party didn't get dragged to the left, like there aren't a bunch of voters willing to vote for more progressive politics. If anything, there's more hope for it now than ever before. There's literally a bunch of people willing to fight for that stuff, they just need a better standard bearer. If Bernie wasn't the guy, we find the next one.
I DON'T FUCKING KNOW, BECAUSE THE MAN IS NOT WELL AND HE SHOULDN'T BE PRESIDENT.
The other guy just went on Fox News and did this! Young people and independents like him! WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN DOING.
He defended them in a interview three weeks ago.Hopefully. However, he didn't do anything when these camps and immigration policies existed under Obama, but hopefully he will be better about it now.
Msnbc says he might not even be viable in Mississipi
Kamala is from California, as safe a seat as you can get (2018 Senate election general ended up being two Democrats). While Massachusetts is a blue state, they have been known to throw curveballs and do like their "moderate" Republican now and again, especially for governor, which specifically got us burned in 2010. No problem with California, and furthermore Kamala would be well poised to run for president again vastly stronger in either 2024 or 2028, while Warren is going to be too old by then (yes, Bernie/Biden, but they're too old too).i feel Abrams is the more likely out of these two so that Kamala stays a senator(same reason I don't see Warren)
Yeah, bigger turnout almost always helps Dems. And think most people don't fuck with primaries
Big fall of Rome energy for sure. Jesus Christ.
'what i think' the article does it show you a mainstream outlet (of many) talking about the obvious perception that Biden's campaign is one of limited exposure. this was widely discussed and accepted last year before it was weaponized by the right more recently. As soon as the right weaponized it, people like you called it a conspiracy and started pilling on posters here who acknowledged the very obvious, reasonable strategy by the campaign.The Washington Post isn't immune to shoddy journalistic practices.
That "article" still doesn't say what you think it does.
There's no factual proof that the Biden's campaign made a concerted effort to hide him.
So old people come out to vote against a "socialist." Let's see them come out to vote in the general.
Will Trump show up?

You really think a guy waving the 2nd amendment was going to vote for a democrat?
If so......
I have a bottle of Silver to sell you!
