    The opinions of Biden seem to be all over the map, which is weird since he is the incumbent, and we all ought to know where he stands. There are lots of people (like you) who see the progressive things he has managed to get accomplished, even with a divided Congress in these past two years. Yet, there are others who perceive him as a right-of-center false choice.

    He has always had trouble defining himself, which I think is part of the reason he was a perennial Presidential Primary loser. His stutter didn’t help matters, nor his tendency to go off-script. But Trump’s ascendancy gave him the perfect opportunity to create a definition, even if that definition is “Not Trump”.

      There is also a great deal of negative press out regarding Biden. Honestly if you look at policy and accomplishments he’s done quite a lot of good things. It is an uphill battle of course with Congress and the Supreme Court being what they are. We are a big country and it takes constant action to push it to a more equitable place for the majority of us.

      Frankly, I think Biden has done a lot to start that push. It will take a lot more though and we could backslide terribly if we don’t keep pushing.

          Well I guess maybe people change with maturity. He is certainly putting some good people into positions where they can do some good

            Yeah I’m sure that comes as a huge comfort to the millions of people who’s lives he ruined with his 1994 stop and frisk crime bill.

              So offer a solution. Who has a chance that’s currently in the running to beat Trump in November?

              Provide a name or walk away.

                No I’m going to keep making it clear anybody who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries over the many superior options is a shit bag.

                  As I expected. NONE of you have ever provided a solution when asked, therefore it’s pretty easy to tell why you’re actually here.

                  You’re not fooling anyone.

                    We did provide a solution in 2020. Multiple. They were all rejected. It is not our responsibility to find a solution to a problem we didn’t create.

                    How about you ask the people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries what their plan is to get people to vote for him? If you’re any indication the strategy is the same as always. “More finger wagging like the useless geriatrics we are!”

          So we’re cool to bring up the past as a rebuttal to a thing someone has done in the present?

          You shit your pants when you were a baby. Should we accuse you of this every day for the rest of your life?

          We also used to prescribe cigarettes to asthmatic patients. Wonder why we don’t anymore ?

          It’s because we learned to be better at understanding the human body. Essentially… We got smarter. But reading though your comment history- you seem to be regressing, because it seems that every point you bring up is worse than the last.

            … I’m sorry. Do you use this defense when you’re talking about Trump or are you just a blatant hypocrite?

            Biden is an evil person. Trump is an evil person. You shouldn’t defend either of them.

              Bernie’s friend Biden is fucking awesome dude. Love the guy! Bernie likes Biden and I’ve never once noticed Bernie to be wrong about anything. The more you slander Biden the more I like Biden.

              I use this defense when I see people bring up one’s past to put them back down after they’ve changed.

              I use this defense when bad faith clowns try and shit on people in rehab who are trying to turn their lives around.

              I use this defense whenever I see people that don’t know what they’re talking about, try and paint eh world as either black or white without even looking at the grey in between.

              Your move, chuckles.

          I love how you all ignore all the terrible policy this man voted for as a senator.

          Like when he was one of the few senators to vote against he first Iraq War in 1993?

      This is on purpose. Building confidence is hard. Destroying it is easy. Plenty of domestic and foreign actors are heavily invested in mudding Waters surrounding biden. In hopes of him failing. Their candidates getting elected. Which is turning out even easier for them seeing as our corporate publicly traded media is eagerly assisting them.

      The fascists will fall in line and vote for whoever they’re offered. Simply because they’ve been told the opposite would be worse. Unfortunately the Democratic party is much more a coalition party of many disparate groups many who don’t see a lot of representation. Preferring to fall in love rather than falling in line. And they are Their Own Worst Enemy because of that.

      And even though it’s a low bar. If I didn’t Administration has delivered some of the biggest wins for labor in the last 100 years. He certainly not perfect. But the alternatives are absolutely worse. The question is are we going to be able to get our s*** together and not let ourselves be manipulated again.
