    Are we not further left than Trump? Biden is center-right so you can’t expect him to go out and start yelling communists slogans.

      I love how quickly “push him to the left” becomes “shut up and be happy because not trump.”

        It is better to not have Trump, that’s the basic level of desire. The second level of desire is for a better candidate. Sometimes you have to take what you can get.

          Sometimes is what centrists say when they mean always.

            Sometimes people live in the real world and sometimes people demand utopia and won’t take something imperfect instead.

              And so nothing improves like you want.

                Ok. Still waiting for your solution other than “no”.

                  I don’t have one. Guess that means I need to shut up forever and accept the hegemony of two parties that hate me. I’m not allowed to be less than fucking ecstatic that nothing will ever change except for the worse. At least you’re happy.

                    You took the wrong thing from my argument here. I am suggesting that it’s not enough to just say no, pat yourself on the back, and go home. If you really think no, then there should also be some other yes that you can point to. Saying that there is no option is giving up.

                  Our solution was Bernie. People like you rejected that idea and voted in procorporate trash Biden in the 2020 primaries. The responsibility of finding a solution falls entirely on people who selected Biden as the candidate. Not us.

                    I voted for Bernie in the primary. I wanted Bernie, he’d have been a better president. Now it would be nice if you could stop attributing things to me that I never said or thought.

                    Also this “us” stuff really just sounds like projected ingroup behavior.
