Not a single person voting Democrat does so because they thought Biden was a great candidate.

It appears nobody has learned anything from Hillary’s loss in 2016.

Establishment ghouls are not popular Democrats. Conservatives will vote Republican anways, appeasing to the right is worthless.

Only progressives get independents to vote blue.

This is where you lost me. As if boomer Democrats are not a thing. But let’s keep on reading…

Lost me again. I don’t know why people keep forgetting about 2020.

It’s unlikely that they forgot about boomer Democrats. Many of us have parents or grandparents who qualify. I can’t think of a single person who told me how great of a candidate Biden was. I don’t remember anyone who was extremely excited by the policies he wanted to enact. Of course I can only talk about people that I met, my friends and family and community.

Were it not for Israel, I’d be telling you about how great Biden has been domestically (except the boarder). His administration has by and large been very progressive with the policies it’s enacted. Biden’s abhorrent sucking up to Israel during an active genocide is the huge dark spot on his presidency.

It is a bit dumb that “he’s too old” is what got him out.

You’re correct in your last sentence. In many communities, everyone thought that everyone was voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Biden won marginally because he was marginally better than Hillary and was the Obama guy.

Bernie would have won by a landslide.

That’s a hell of a prediction for someone not even from the US.

Tell me you’re unaware of his achievements as president without telling me…

Propagandists are fully aware, and choose to ignore said achievements as it fucks up their narrative.

I am aware Joe Biden is complicit in Genocide and performed like a senile geriatric on CNN.

Tell me you don’t live in America without telling me.

I would rather say appeasing to right wing voters with right wing rethoric is worthless.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
