we can circle back to this when we see who gets what and maybe i'll be wrong and you'll be right that this is nothing. But if some of the names being floated get in at state or treasury or energy, education, the fcc or tons of more actively compromisable posts i think it's worth poting out that the argument of FDR did it doesn't hold water not only because it was a different time but more crucially because they were a qualitatively different kind of appointments.
That super worked out well with James Comey, I'm convinced now!
Democrats have a very large ideological spectrum actually as evidenced by this thread. Big tent and all that.
how do you people reconcile the leftists being losers who dont vote enough or are too small of a population to matter and cant get their guy to the nomination with this view that theyre just so super important to getting biden into the presidency. help me understand why you guys get mad over this tiny population of insignificant voters man
I wish I could find the quote online, but there's a part in Malcolm X's autobiography where he talks about having hope in the younger generation, using pretty much the exact same language people use today. I get what you're saying but at some point we have to face the fact that young people are not going to save us - there have always been young people. Some bad, some good. There also bad and good old people. There are demographic trends but age ultimately means nothing when it comes to what makes a politician good and I don't think it's worth focusing on.
Sorry, are we supposed to shut up and be good little voters until it actually gets confirmed?
Which is why it's important to continue activism in protests and politics on the local level, pushing for change.
I'd say the people that still parrot on Biden's "inability to speak" is something of note. Not sure what it would be labeled, but it still gets posted even on era. It did in the debate thread.
I think the thing is bad faith actors amplify these types of messages across social media causing more people to criticize Biden.
The amount of 3rd party voters who voted for a gorilla or Jill Stein in 2016 in swing states could have swung the election to Hillary.
bro who cares, all the whites r gonna vote for biden this time cuz hes a white man
The problem is dealing also includes "intent to sell" which is a bullshit charge that the 12 can throw on anyone they feel like.
I'm a queer trans woman activist, I voted La Riva (PSL), and not only do I have no idea what you're talking about re: Pence but I really resent it.
This is why we need ideologically consistent progressives in office. There's plenty of young people that ain't worth shit either.
"Not the right term?" It's a completely ridiculous statement that enflames things and completely shits on leftists' right to civic discourse, which is the proper term for attacking a political candidate.
Do you not see me complaining in here?
???
So you are literally saying you believe what fits your narrative of Biden.
Only when people try and defend Republicans and war crimes.
