      Fucking Bloomberg and Me - because of course you have so much in common in your life struggles with a billionaire. Who is responsible for a lot of those struggles in the first place.

    Bernie conspicuously absent. Dems really let themselves go that mere lip service is already too much effort.

      I cut off the bottom of the shirt on the image too, so there would've been space as well if they wanted to show some good will, but I guess not.

    even pretending not to hate anyone further left than mitt romney is too much for them

    Holy fuck I hope he loses and Trump gets another 4 years

    The shitlibs that talk about "hArm ReDuCtIoN" I would genuinely like their opinion on the fact that Trump is destroying US prestige and US ideology (ie. ruthless capitalism)

    And how they think Biden will benefit them: a man who oversaw the concentration camps on the Mexican border and whose 8 years of neoliberalism has pushed so many people to far right politics

    Like what do these "hArm ReDuCtIoN" types think they'll achieve by legitimising Biden?

    4 more years of ruin of the working class before an actual ideologically driven fascist comes to power?

      The one coherent harm reduction argument for Biden is that he will be worse at mobilizing non state violence against minorities. The proud boys and whoever else aren't going to be as quick to hit the streets to defend the system when the president is someone they're convinced is a Communist.

      I don't think this weighs more than how much damage will be done by Biden starting a bunch of new imperialist projects. I'm not that comfortable with betting on Trump's lack of attention span to prevent that though, and could imagine someone not willing to accept that as a difference between them.

      I think most harm reduction libs are worried about damage to norms and the "respectability" of the office, though.

        The one coherent harm reduction argument for Biden is that he will be worse at mobilizing non state violence against minorities. The proud boys and whoever else aren’t going to be as quick to hit the streets to defend the system when the president is someone they’re convinced is a Communist.

        The phenomena of far right militia-types on the streets is related to the erosion of the base which filtiers into the Superstructure of society due to the US economy failing due to neoliberal economics

        "Proud boys" and class consciousness are now a permanent phenomena now due to the systematic impoverishment of the American working classes.

        Just as BLM became popular under Obama due to those same policies hitting the more marginalised black community first.

        Street violence against minorities will continue whether Biden or Trump gets into power.

    This election cycle they're very explicit in not even symbolically giving any ground to the left. Incredible.

      Sorry to remind you of Mike Bloomberg, but I think they meant him.

    NGL, but I kind of wish I had that shirt of Bernie where they drew him to look like a rat, for posterity and historical reasons. I can't imagine they sold all of them.

    The dems think that these people are somehow the avengers and together they can win anything, but the avengers actually did stuff and won fights, on their own. $1000says that a normal person off the street barely knows who any of these people are, let alone what they did to deserve being in the dem avengers. hell, even someone that knows who they all are would be hard pressed, besides that they all lost to bernie.
