Pushing him left, folks! This all feels so 2008. Why can't they hire someone new, who would believe the same stuff, but wouldn't be so obviously opposed to climate change activists? You know, just to fake us out and give us some hope.

    2020: "He just got elected, please chill, let us have this moment, you sound like a Trump supporter"

    2021: "He just got in office, please relax, he is fixing the mess Trump left him, Rome wasn't built in one day"

    2022: "He is doing is best right now, I don't think you understand the damage Trump has done to this country. He inherited an economy on life support, things are tough right now.

    2023: "He clearly has a very hostile senate, what do you expect him to do, executive order? With this supreme court? We need to keep our focus on 2024"

    2024: "Are you kidding me? It's an election year, you're actively campaigning for Tom Cotton right now by bringing this up. Do you want Tom Cotton, cause it sounds like you want Tom Cotton."

      listen, jack— once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

      Yeah, I feel like the activist base and the progressive elements will easily be disillusioned by Biden. Hell, even normies could become disillusioned.

        That was always the argument as to why socialists should vote for Biden. Honest Liberals will never realize how futile their faith in the Democratic party is until the Democratic party is in power and doing the same thing as the Republican party. Once they're disillusioned, we can radicalize them.

            I guess it's a matter of if you're a "heighten the contradictions at any cost" kind of guy. I personally don't see how not voting for Biden keeps me, a citizen of the heart of the global capitalist empire with gallons of blood on my hands from my consumption habits, a better socialist. My soul isn't clean, and I wasn't using it anyway.

    Lib idpol at its finest. The only stories I find talk about how he was the Black Caucus Chair, nothing about who he is or what he does.

    BUT BIDEN'S GONNA KILL EVERYBODY WHILE BEING DIVERSE.

    This is one of many examples of why identity politics is a cancer and needs to die forever.

    You won't be able to criticize these picks cause you'll be called racist, sexist and whatever.

      The capitalist class and their media will neutralize any ideology that threatens them by turning it into the dumbest version of itself. It's not really a problem inherent to identity politics. If Marxism-Leninism was popular in America, you'd better believe they'd appropriate it and call you a revisionist for saying their program of "more CEOs from working class backgrounds" isn't socialism.

        Identity politics is more easily used to silence voices than it is to encourage representation.

          100% correct take. I remember during the primaries getting shouted down by liberals for bringing this fact up in regards to Warren. It's all IDPOL for these drones and it's so depressing
