Sorry, cannot agree. He's an odd sort, talking about liking kids touching him and stuff. I do not doubt for a mili second that he was dead serious, but thought it kinda funny that so much of politics does work that way. And, sadly, it really does. Trump was the one that used to want to be doing the buying what Joe was selling.
Then you might want to choose something else to compare it to since even the underlying moral logic is different.
Sure, there's a disconnect between the priorities of the voters and the actions of their representatives. But that doesn't mean notions of "left" and "right" only have meanings within parliament. Most ordinary people who have some form of political awareness see themselves somewhere on that spectrum, after all, quite apart from who they vote for.
Oh, alienation from the process is a foreseeable outcome, and to some degree a rational one. But a purely rational cost-benefit analysis shows substantial difference in the policy platforms of Biden and Trump, leaving aside any hypothetical other comparisons.
Their explained reason for what? For not challenging the Board of Elections?
No, the board's explanation. That it's to protect people from the Coronavirus. But if they well and truly honestly believe that, it's because they expect the progressive wing to be less likely to show up to the down ballot votes that are still happening, so it's a load of bullshit from the board.
You should know by now that I value human rights vastly more than any amount of money. No amount of money saved can justify the death tolls and human rights abuses that people like Truman committed.
Its the people who will perish under 4 more years of Trump I am concerned about.
You remind me of The Lunatic.
I will believe that when someone other than Biden or Trump wins the 2020 election.
You better believe the only reason the Dems even pay lip service to left wing ideals, whether they follow through with them or not, is because of people like me. If it were left to people like you, they wouldn't even be talking about expanding healthcare or raising the minimum wage.
LGBT people who hate being abused by right-wing religious bigotry?
And he only swept into office on a wave of left wing support. Support that he promptly turned on and revealed himself to be a right wing president. But you likely didn't notice due to your economic privilege insulating you from hardship.
My privileges comes from living in a Blue State. I want to share that with the rest of the country. You would literally prefer to throw an election just to spite the only people actually doing anything to oppose Republicans.
They aren't. That's the point. Democrats don't help people. They haven't been helping people, they just have a cleaner image than the Republicans.
Citation needed. Seriously, you have nothing but 'Dems bad'. Bernie is a Democrat. AOC is a Democrat. These are not coincidences. You want to push Dems left, you do it from the inside, not the outside. But you refuse to follow in their footsteps despite claiming to support them. They understand what it takes, you don't and that is why despite all your claims, you have no actual power, atleast none that you care to actually put to use.
If you think I haven't been posting clear repeated evidence that the Democrat part has no love for you, me, or anyone with less than 6 figures in their bank account, you haven't been actually paying attention to my posts. More accurately, what I know is, is that whenever Democrats have been shown to do something awful (like how Obama is one of the only Nobel prize winners to bomb another), you plug your ears and say "But Republicans!"
If that turned out to be true and a viable left-wing party came about in the US, being proven to be wrong about not voting is something we'll all be able to live with.
