    I’m not thrilled about it either but it’s something we can sort out after this election cycle

    Said everyone who ever defended the preferred candidate of the DNC to someone with actual ideals and principles every single election cycle for the last 40+ years.

    That’s how we got to a situation where a Trump presidency was anything but a throwaway joke from The Simpsons that was supposed to be over the top satire.

      Do you seriously think Biden’s age is more important than allowing the US to fall into a Nazi dictatorship?

        No. His age is a minor thing. It’s (almost) everything ELSE about him that should preclude him from being the only alternative to fascism.

        He’s for sure the lesser evil compared to Trump, by miles, and I hope everyone who can votes for him, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not still an evil.

        An extremely ambitious politician from Pennsylvania doesn’t just move to tiny little Delaware for reasons unrelated to it being the most corporation-friendly state in the union and “the Senator from MBNA” is no exception.

          STFU. Name another presidency in the last 50 years that has been more progressive than Biden. We’ll fucking wait. SMH.

            That of Obama and even that of Clinton, when you adjust for the general public being much less progressive AND much less informed in the 90s than now.

            That Biden made a good cabinet appointment or two on the advice of people more progressive than himself and his PR department hailed the infrastructure bill as saving the environment (even though it stipulates a manifold increase in federal fossil fuel leases before any new renewable energy programs are allowed to even BEGIN and privatizes more public infrastructure than it funds) doesn’t mean that Biden, a conservative barely if at all to the left of Joe Manchin, is progressive.

            In conclusion, YOU are the one who needs to STFU and stop drinking the neoliberal kool-aid.
