    Between the strike breaking, going back on his word about the stimulus checks, and now the genocide, Biden has systematically told every critical voting block in his coalition to fuck right off.

    this can be good news for the PSL candidates, if the narrative that Biden is going to lose to Trump can be solidified in the mainstream

    A vote for Biden is just throwing your vote away! vote

    i-voted for PSL

    so glad the democratic party puppet masters mobilized all that 2020 rage into bulldozering biden's rotten-to-the-core brain and Copmala across the finish line. possibly the most all time move in the history of the party.

    Hedges predicted the DNC would pull out all the stops to block Sanders (who really only represented some vaguely social democratic compromise) and that this would be "fatal" to the party. i believed him at the time, because i wanted to believe. but now, seeing with my eyes, i think it's literally happening now.

    Why do I get the feeling that the Democrats will try some new convoluted strategy to eek out a win. Like using an independent RFK Jr. run to pry enough boomers off of Trump to bring him down to where it is a competitive race again. Except, like 2016, it will blow up in their faces and either reelect Trump by prying boomers off Biden too or electing Kennedy in a comical twist.

      The alternative would be Biden taking bold and aggressive action. I think Biden is one of those hopeless people who - especially when they're old - will never go against their gut. And that's just another way of saying Biden knows he's always right. I'd be shocked if Biden did anything at all to change course. He seems intent on crushing right into the iceberg.

        They would rather go through all that trouble than admit than show even the slightest sign of weakness- to do so could open the door tearing down the image of infallibility that their network of apologists have spent years crafting around the party's leadership.
