I hope he burns the whole party down.
Imagine if the Democrats didn’t exist and American progressives could start to build a real left-wing party.
If that didn’t start with the Republicans not existing, the American progressives would probably just get thrown in prison
They are the gatekeepers for preventing progress
And I hope you have to walk over a mile of legos with no shoes or socks on.
Why would you wish that on me?
The Democrats are not your friend. They’re evil.
You’re right…I semi take it back. The democrats are fucking evil. I’m also kinda drunk, so apologies.
At the same time though, burning the party down at the moment would irreparably fuck up this election and unequivocally hand things to the Republicans who are decidedly more evil.
I’m on the side of burning shit down on January 21st after Donald Trump has no chance of seizing power.
No prob.
Be sure to drink some water before you go to bed.
Good call. Will do.
You shouldn’t apologize; look at their other comments.
I mean I get it, but Biden promised a one term deal for democrats. Ave it would be a hell of a comfort to see someone young enough to still had the mental flexibility understand how new situations call for new solutions.
Starting to like the sound of a Newsom presidency.
Same - and I don’t like how corporate friendly he is at all. I’d take him over Biden in a heartbeat. He actually seems like he’d, you know, actually try to fight against fascism, instead of phoning it in and “reaching across the aisle”. You do not negotiate with or tolerate fascists. You tell them to get the fuck out.
Y’all are rage and anger over and with the matter and it will never do more than burn you to the ground like you are right blazingly obviously about to die…if you’re lucky right now.
There’s only one viable solution. Do the same to all USD and their origin to elect the Joker, Jon Stewart.
Anything else will be fascism, either side, and you need to do this very loud and do not shut up even if they arrest and prison you. That’ll happen when we Fascism anyway so do it now or else. And you’re all ignorant. We’ll go fascism either way, doesn’t matter who you elect bar THE JOKER.
Do you lnow how incoherent this is?
You’re not awake.
I would too. Best president since Carter. Still to this day making moves and camping debt.
But he can’t do the dog and pony show so, as per usual in the DNC, they can’t toe the line under the big tent. It’s bat shit insane and y’all deserve Trump.
Did somebody lock Biden in the hyperbolic time chamber after betrayimg him?
Ooh didims, this election is all about your feelings. I wonder if the Palestinians feel hurt or betrayed?
I kind of want to see Bernie Sander run and lose so all the Bernie Bris shut up.
I want to see someone 30 years younger than any current candidate on the ballot. Love me some Bernie, I voted for him in the 2016 primary, but guess what, time for someone I don’t have to worry about snapping an ankle getting out of bed.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Someone who is alive for the consequences of their policies?
Yes, but the saying does go “Societies grow great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they shall never enjoy.” Or something like that.
Yeah but shouldn’t they be alive for the first watering?
I would settle for them just doing the planting, that’s apparently a hard ask these days.
boo, go back to being funny
/agree
They were never funny
I didn’t ever see myself agreeing with you, but here I am.
Yes, there is certainly a group within the Democratic Party that prefers a hereditary dictatorship headed by the Trump family to any progressive.
The progressives would rather have Trump then 90% of democrats so I guess those two groups have something in common!
Centrists got their second choice in 2016.
We’re talking about the current year, 2024.
Not nearly a decade ago.
Centrists have only moved to the right since then.
Now they’ve adopted Trump’s immigration policy and are happily supporting genocide.
But it seems if you move a bit to the left all the sudden you’re supporting Trump himself.
According to centrists, yes. Opposition to genocide is regularly met with accusations of being a Trump supporter here.
Democrats love to shoot themselves in the foot in a struggle for power. The only reason we are in any of this Trump mess today is because they took Bernie’s run away from him and gave it to a much less popular Hillary Clinton. If they wouldn’t meddle Bernie would be finishing his second term and Trump would be an after thought, but here we are in this mess they created.
Two party system needs to end.
Doesn’t matter because capitalizm will end either way. We go Nazis and work for the rich for no fucking pay or we eat the rich and burn the dollar. Anything else is just a rebirth of the same fraud.
Bitch, this ain’t about you. This is way bigger than your stupid, bruised ego. You ain’t the best person for the job. You know it, we all know it. You just need to swallow your fucking pride and step aside for the good of the nation.
He should have gotten out of the way in 2020 when Bernie was winning. Fuck around and find out.
we are the ones who will find out he’ll be dead
Jesus he is coming off like such a whiny little bitch. He’s killing his own campaign, and the cause of death is the size of his own ego. I admit I didn’t have this one on my bingo card. I just hope he doesn’t end up dragging us poor bastards down with him.
They’re wavering because you need to show strength, stability, and confidence in a way you haven’t been able to show them for a month.
If this is genuinely caused by an unlucky series of illnesses and you’ll be fine as soon as you bounce back, great. They’ll line back up behind you. If not… then it’s time to bow out.
They’re wavering because you need to show strength, stability, and confidence in a way you haven’t been able to show them for a month.
I mean, he’s been pretty steadfast on one issue.
A month? How about… ever? He has barely lifted a finger to meaningfully slow or discourage the rise of fascism in this country because tHAt wOuLD bE DiviSiVE.
He’s so far up his own ass about his vaunted ability to compromise that he forgot that you don’t fucking compromise with fascists. That, to me, has been the single biggest failure of his presidency. And the kicker is that he doesn’t even understand any of that, and thinks he did an ok job. Sure, there was a lot of economic recovery and stuff, but forgive me for not being at all confident how long any of that will stand up to the abuses and idiocy of a potential second Trump admin. Biden does not understand that the rules have changed. He is bringing a deck of cards to a gunfight.
We’re going to be fucking Nazis in three years if he loses. With all due respect, Mr. President, fuck your feelings.
Every Democratic senator running in battleground states is polling way, way ahead of Biden. The quite literal “unnamed Democrat” has a better chance of winning.
If he wants to stay in the race, he opens the convention on VP and vows to step down right after the inauguration. And let the new VP debate Trump next time.
Yeah and progressives feel angry and betrayed when the “left wing” supports Genocide. Suck it up warmonger

There’s a whole pattern of behavior here, and I’m certainly missing plenty. So I doubt progressives have a lot of patience for Biden’s whining here.
If he’s feeling betrayed, want till he learns how most democrats feel about his leadership.
