Former Aides to Bernie Sanders Form a Super PAC to Support Joe Biden

quoting from a corporate lowest-common-denominator mediocrity seems pretty apt for Biden boosterism, tbh.
He already said vp would be a Woman. Why would you think bloomberg at all? He wouldn't pick him even if he picked a guy.
I don't understand the problem. It's a popular well known thought that is being used as a rallying call. The movies are dumb popcorn entertainment but they are familiar to people and relay an idea that's easy to understand. Why not use it?
It was "Vote Blue No Matter Who" before, but that was seen as insensitive; and it also makes a far more direct reference to Biden himself, who most people don't even really care for. So the focus was switched to Trump with: "Whatever it takes to remove that asshole" to dial down on what needs to be done, still signal unity in removing the orange clown, while not telling people who they need to support directly like the other quote could be misconstrued as.
I think its clear that it doesn't matter what the rallying call is here; Bidens the nominee. People aren't going to like it period. The movies aren't the issue really. It's the nominee.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory accusation, multiple prior bans for inflammatory comments
I figured "blue no matter who" sounded better with it being less of a meme and more to the point and political. Maybe not then.
/shrug is anyone saying otherwise? Bidens been damn near invisible outside of endorsements and PACs like this. Its perfect. Trump is self immolating.
there are people in the media who want him to speak, he should just ignore them.
I figured they implied the allegations and not policy related stuff.
That's silly. The discussions around the various topics have already said as much in many more words. Many will vote for whoever the dem nominee is because Trump is a know quantity. Saying so in meme format doesn't change the sentiment. The idea of "Vote blue no matter who" being offensive is absurd just like saying "whatever it takes" prevents any complex critical analysis of what to do with your vote is also absurd.

Because "whatever it takes" seems to be willing to throw more and more people under the bus.
The good thing is that it will be over soon. Trumps days are numbered, and developments like the OP just further than inevitability.

That's not going to stop it. You need to do far more than vote once every four years to stop the rise of facism.
Everyone that isn't a rich straight white christian male will be thrown under the bus if Trump is re-elected.
Agreed, so the best thing is to push for the facts of the rape investigation right now (such as releasing the records from the University of Deleware) before we are forced to choose between two rapists and not double down and hope it's nothing. Whatever it takes should not have to mean "vote for the rapist". Whatever it takes should be to fight for what's right till the bitter fucking end. Or, since we're going to be throwing nerd quotes around:
You can't stop enthusiasm for getting this president out. Saying that someone will vote for Biden no matter what is the same as whatever it takes. Showing Captain America and saying it isn't really different than what people have said for months. I'm not really sure the reasoning behind disarming every phrase people come up with to push forward their cause really is. But these aren't dirty phrases just because People have issues with Biden. Whatever it takes doesn't throw anyone under the bus it's just enthusiasm for a democratic win.
That's a great quote - in that movie Cap chooses not to compromise for the greater good, the Avengers coalition breaks up and half of humanity is killed as Thanos rolls in unopposed by a united front. Very apt.
Im actually realizing that now and I apologize. I wasn't sure what you meant there, thanks for clarifying though, Ill edit that.
I said it was a shitty quote. I'm just not convinced you mean whatever it takes because you seem to be very eager to give in right now months before the election or even before we even have proof either way.
If Obama did not stop the rise of fascism in the US, what makes you think Biden will?
Good point.
"Whatever it takes" is extremely dangerous ideology. I understand the sentiment in the context of our current state of affairs, but keep in mind how far you're willing to take that phrase.
Biden winning means Trump and his administration not winning, and not having the supreme court be hard red for 50 years, setting back lgbt rights, minority rights, women's rights, social security, medicare/medicaid, anti gun laws, climate change....and handling COVID. Not to mention not handwaving nazis, or not inciting civil war in a pandemic.

The chances of this happening are slimmer than him not even being the nominee which is already 0.0%
Thank you.
(Because whatever it takes).
if bernies such a socialist why is he always privatizing the blame
He's gonna get blamed in any case if that happens.
"Thank you". For what? For trying to paint me as something I'm not? I have said multiple times that I will vote for Biden in the General. Something that's conveniently lost to make me some insane nutjob so you can ignore any and all cries of victims but it's something I've said multiple times. I also will make sure til the bitter end we get justice for Tara Reade and not give up in the name of a false unity.
What are you even talking about? Give in to what? It's Biden vs. Trump in November. You can choose to stop Trump (and spend the next few months doing what you can to do so) or you can choose to support Trump. Those are your two options. Bernie, Pelosi, AOC, Obama have all made their choice. As have I.
I can make sure there is justice for Tara Reade. I can make sure we investigate this to the bottom so there's a clear answer. There are so much more I can do than give up and pretend that's all and throw victims under the bus. And, like I said, I will vote for him should it come to that. I'm sorry that apparently doing that isn't enough anymore.
cmon guys
lets focus on taking down one rapist at a time
We are terrible at multitasking and I would prefer to focus on the big bad one first

Uh huh....and when the next Republican is inevitably elected, and is inevitably a cryptofascist because the GOP have realised they can get away with anything, but the difference being that this cryptofascist is smart and knows how to wield power? What about Proud Boys and Atomwaffen? The seeds of these groups groups were planted in during the Obama administration. Will they somehow vanish when Biden is elected?
Basically you are saying letting Trump win won't really matter because there are still other bad guys too.... so just give up?
People should stop entertaining this fantasy that Biden will be impeached. If he's elected, he's President, that's it.
Incredibly there are things you can do in between waiting 2/4 years to vote. Your voice doesn't go away after the electoral season is over.
The dems got rid of Al Franken for less. I can definitely see a progressive congress impeach Biden as the story against him progresses.
I did not say you shouldn't vote for him. Whether anybody does or does not is completely up to them.
What I am saying is that it's extremely foolish to assume that Biden is the cureall for Fascism in the US. That's very lazy and will result in even greater threats after his Presidency.
