It’s not that Biden ‘isn’t 100% of what we need to see’, it’s that he’s 100% in support of the things we really need to change. And if me withholding my vote is of enough concern that it’s tantamount to enabling a fascist dictator to take control, then maybe the democrats should consider taking some meaningful action.
Like this? That’s why I say that Biden has done good things, just not enough. A lot of people are talking like he’s part of the problem, but to me that’s clearly not factually accurate.
What are the things that really need to change? That’s not like a gotcha, I’m genuinely curious how you see it.
It’s like you’re sitting back and saying “well I will not help things get better until you do all the work for me and put someone on my plate who I will perfectly support and then I’ll show up and vote for him.”
LMFAO ok this has to be a bit, there’s no way this is genuine
That’s exactly what you’re doing.
That’s why I say it’s childish – there is no “they” who determines once and for all who’s allowed to be a candidate. The Democratic establishment hated Bernie Sanders, and he still made it quite a distance. Who is the Bernie Sanders of today that I should be voting for in the primary soon, to make a better candidate? Or you just want one to drop from the sky and for the DNC to suddenly drop their corporate-cash addiction and get behind him, because archomrade is refusing to vote?
For a start, stop actively funding a genocide. As an added bonus, maybe stop tailoring economic policy around metrics that don’t serve working-class interests. Biden has been touting the strength of the economy for the last 3 years, but the metrics he’s pointing to don’t paint an accurate picture of actual working-class conditions. We have record high homelessness, food insecurity, and high-interest debt, record low average savings and a social security insolvency problem. How am I supposed to feel good about Biden’s economic accomplishments? Fucking do something! Pursue anti-trust action, enact stronger worker protections, propose universal childcare, stop supporting fossil fuels, pass a minimum wage increase. There are so many options.
Democratic reform is moving slower than the collapse of the middle class. Who gives a fuck if insulin is capped for seniors when my children will never be able to afford a house or have a livable climate? The country is falling apart and i’m supposed to be happy about high speed internet infrastructure funding?
That’s exactly what you’re doing.
Nah, maybe that’s how you’d like to see it though, since it’s so stupid you can just dismiss it as childish. I’m very loudly advocating for more progressive policy, not just from Biden but from the whole democratic party. You’re just upset that it’s threatening the stability of your political coalition.
