Gaslighters and saboteurs, the lot of them. The left has no such foothold in congress, and Biden is still as shit as he ever was. Justice Dems should be ashamed for buying into the "Biden can be like FDR" narrative.
Theyre not totally wrong about radlibs. Ive seen a lot of people fall hard for the settle for biden thing. They start "Sure he's my last choice but at least hes not trump!" And then hes eventually elevated to sainthood like obama, he can no longer do any wrong.
they're probable better as self described "progressives" and not the left, but
"You can't criticize him because it helps Trump win" has become "you can't criticize him." Hopefully that will change when they see how awful he is.
Yeah, after all, M4A cost him so many votes. Anything you do now could definitely sway the runoff elections!
And then hes eventually elevated to sainthood like obama, he can no longer do any wrong.
I don't think this is a foregone conclusion. People never said "sure he's my last choice, but at least he's not Bush" about Obama, for instance. People fucking loved him -- in large part because he ran (at least in 2008) to the left of the party establishment on an issue people care deeply about (healthcare). He also had the "wow I guess maybe we're not that racist anymore if we can elect a black president" boost, which is much more credible to libs who don't have any real class analysis in their politics.
Biden has none of that, and he's far less capable at papering over his shortcomings than Obama (probably the most "shit, this guy looks and acts like a president" president we've had since at least Reagan).
I'm talking about some people I know who already think he's perfect now. Hopefully its a minority, but I dont know. I know he has done literally nothing, their affinity for him doesn't make sense, but it seems to exist in my experience.
I think they just realize hes gonna be the president, there's nothing you can do about it and really infatuate themselves with him to convince themselves that hes not that bad.
really infatuate themselves with him to convince themselves that hes not that bad
That's a good point, especially if that bootstraps itself into genuine enthusiasm.
Where does this spin come from all of a sudden? You got to be mad if you don't think there is some narrative being astroturfed here right.,
"- But who can be so stupid to fall for this obvious li- Nvm I do know who can..."
I like this new genre of photography where they pair a WoC with Biden looking lost.
I know after seeing this I don't care about COVID relief, universal healthcare, systemic racism/sexism, climate change, police brutality, violence against LGTB community, imperialist wars, wealth inequality, failing infrastructure, inadequate education, private prison slavery, and student loan debt anymore!
To self-described "progressives" like Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein of course he doesn't look so bad. They all have in common the understanding that "Progressive" sells better than "Neoliberal"
"How the Left Came to Love Joe Biden"
has the same energy as
"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
