“It’s almost a cruel joke on the electorate that the longest presidential election potentially ever might also be the one that they’re least excited about,” said one Democratic pollster, speaking anonymously to candidly discuss the race.

    Because Democrats are assholes and refuse to see how fucking good Biden has been. Perfect is the enemy of good and they keep pushing left and don’t have the numbers.

      Biden is the ONLY man in America that could sometimes do some moderately progressive things

      Do you have a list? Aside from trying student loan forgiveness, empowering unions (after kicking the rail union in the dick), and pushing Ukraine aid, I haven’t seen anything spectacular, though I may have missed it.

      Abortion still needs addressed federally, corps are killing us with prices and blaming inflation or covid, congress is still insider trading, and right now they’re all collectively sucking Israel’s dick.

      I’ll still vote biden but I’m gonna fucking complain about it.

        Ahhh right, he’ll just magically wave his wand and convince everyone to change how they feel.

        Your statement really sums it up. Despite these wins while working with a batshit insane GOP Biden has not done enough.

        I’m not trying to knock on you personally. I just think the he should be doing more is a bit of a dream vs pragmatic reality.

          I’m legitimately asking because I don’t know what else he’s done. But yes, if those are the only 3 things he accomplished in 3 years, that’s not much to boast of. I don’t think that’s the case, but you’re basically saying “fascism is going to win but at least he tried.”

          Bro, if Biden sleeps in the oval office for 4 years the nets effects of that are going to be bettee than what Trump will do. Do people have such a short memory to not remember the shitshow Trump generated?

      I was pleasantly surprised with him.

      But you don’t just get to hand wave away what he has enabled, and is continuing to enable, in Gaza.

      If the choice is him vs Haley/Trump, of course I’m gonna vote Biden. But as a negative choice, not a positive one.

        I agree, I just don’t see anyone working a viable path forward, certainly not while getting reelected. Israel is the least terrible choice for a long time. And for a while they were less genocidal about it. It’s going to take some time to turn the ship around on Israel. It sucks, all of it. Pragmatism around a genocide is a fucked thing ain’t it?

      Sorry which part of our capitalistic hell-hole of an existence did he fix again? Healthcare? Inflation? Housing? Global Warming?

          This gish-gallop of malarkey again?

          I’ve already called that out for being a bunch of bullshit. Did you actually read any of it? It’s a bunch of nonsense.

          What has he done about 1.) income inequality 2.) housing 3.) healthcare 4.) global warming 5.) inflation 6.) greedflation 7.) shrinkflation
