You taught me something. Thanks for sharing the wisdom stranger. 👈😎

Exactly this! you got to start asking yourselves what is in Biden’s interest and it ain’t our best interest. Just like Hillary Clinton’s best interests weren’t ours in 2016. These people are gambling with our democracy and they’re bad gamblers.

I would definitely like him more if he did the latter. So there is something he can do and his enemies just gave him the ability but he’s too much of a doormat to fascists to use it.

Have you considered that? Maybe the amount of attention Americans give the presidential election is many times more than any other election? Do you think Americans are more likely to know the current president and who they ran against In the last election than their own senator? Or their own member of the House of reps?

Do you think that might affect things?

Be serious my dude

Most student loans have not been canceled claiming that student loans have been canceled. It’s just ingenuous and again it’s the whole fake Biden is killing it narrative. Be honest.

Non-Competes are still in effect that ruling does not go into effect until September at the earliest and it is subject to many Court challenges before it will probably not happen. Regardless, it has not happened yet.

You say the problem is being worked on in these things take time for multiple things. In other words, Biden has not done anything on these fronts. You cannot give Biden credit for something that he has not done lol.

This is what I mean. Biden is milk toast at best. He’s really just slowing our rate of decline more than he is actually doing a good job. The insistence that he is killing it or doing a good job when he is not and people are suffering is a bad strategy politically.

This giant list of things that turns out to be bs is the kind of thing making people more disillusioned. Stuff like this lowers voter turnout. Democrats lose when voter turnout is low. Do you see where this gets bad?

I think they got a point though. I think homeschooling should be illegal and I’m hung. 🪘🪘🥁 😏

Bernie would definitely outperform Biden. This is just a fact. Left-Wing candidates do better with higher voter turnout. They get higher voter turnout when people are actually excited about the person they’re voting for, especially young people. Young people hate Biden. You can see this from all the protests about the genocide and Palestine he’s enabling. Will have low voter turnout compared to Bernie. Biden might lose the election giving us Trump again.

Don’t mean to tell you what you already know a stranger. Just saw you being gaslit and wanted you to know that you’re not crazy 👈😎

Isn’t it crazy How many Dems are going to downplay genocide like it’s not a big deal?

Then they’re going to blame us instead of taking responsibility when Trump wins. It’s honestly infuriating.

Friendly stranger. I do not know what we disagree on.

The only thing I can see is I think Biden should have done more to pack the court and for not doing that. He is now partially responsible for the things we were seeing come from them. I’ve seen people arguing that doing so when he had that slim majority in the Senate wouldn’t have been effective and been political suicide but I disagree. I think a lot more people would be willing to vote for him if he had done it. I would be much more enthused about this candidate if you had done it. I believe the real reason he didn’t is because he didn’t want to. I don’t believe there is a way for us to prove this one way or the other. I respect your opinion. I just disagree with it.

I believe we want the same things. My original comment was only to point out that a lot of people are acting like Biden is doing all the things we want and is actually good instead of just a less right-wing candidate. I just want more straightforward and honest communication around this.

My original comment is just saying I do not like this false narrative that Biden is killing it when he is really not doing much good and continuing a lot of evil. Totally agree, he’s better than Trump and I think that should just be the end of our messaging. We’re honestly the Democratic party needs to find a way to make someone else the nominee. I don’t think if we stay coarse the Dems win.

That’s partially true. But some of the time it was just the Dems holding it up like manchin or Cinema. Also Biden’l has also not put things forward that he said he would. Like when he had the majority in the Senate in the house he did not try to pack the court. The negative things we’ve seen in the last 4 years are from the supreme Court that Biden never tried to pack despite claiming he would.

I hate the Republicans just as much as you do, maybe more honestly. All I’m saying is the Dems suck too. They’re basically trying to hand this election the Trump like they did in 2016.

The moral animal by Robert wright. It’s evolutionary psychology. It explores how “moral” behavior evolved not only in humans but in other animals.

Technically won’t satisfy your fixation with mental illness but you might find this fascinating as well 🤷

Consistently go to a group that is centered around an interest of yours. Consistency is key.

Use apps like meetup to find these groups.

If you’re nerdy/geeky Aunt like computers and making stuff or 3D printing. I recommend looking in the maker spaces. There a lot of them around. They are communities where people can contribute what they have and people get together and make stuff and learn from each other.

If you’re kinky, I recommend looking into local BDSM clubs. I find the crowds there tend to be very leftist.

Those aren’t your speed. Maybe something more basic like a hiking group. Maybe there are salsa dance classes at a bar/cantina near you every week. Doesn’t really matter what it is. Just find a group that’s centered around something you like. Then attend that group regularly. Do that long enough you will make friends.

I hope that helps comrade 👈😎

Also remember most people suck so if you make a bad impression or piss some people off they were probably shitty people to begin with. Don’t let it discourage you. 😊

Student loans have not been canceled

Non-Competes are still in effect

We still have the world’s highest prison population.

Landlords are still price fixing and rent is still out of control

Amazon, Google and apple nor any other large companies have been broken up with antitrust

Despite giving the IRS funding, the rich are still not paying taxes

Allowing Medicare to negotiate was pretty great. I’ll give you that.

“In what way (other than Gaza) is he not doing a good job?”

I don’t know if you’ve been to America or met most Americans, but most of us are really struggling. There’s a housing crisis. Most people can’t afford to live on their own. There’s a ton of food insecurity. Education is abysmal. I mean the whole thing’s just fucked. This pretending things are really good right now and gaslighting Americans and trying to shame them into voting for Biden is part of the problem by the way.

I did participate in the primary process. I voted in every primary and election since I turned 18. I’m also not young.

I hate how liberals think that they know politics because they’re used to arguing with Republicans. Republicans are so dumb and separated from reality that you can say almost anything and be more correct than them. So liberals think that they’re smart. And they never bother to learn they’re only a little less ignorant than Republicans.

Say what you will about marat. At least he participated in the French revolution and I for what he believed in. If you don’t see his writing his labor, I fear that’s because you’re too uneducated to know how hard writing that much can be. Makes total sense to me. You’d characterize him as lazy because he had chronic illness. Seems like you’re used to looking down on people less privileged than you.

I’m not going to vote for Trump. If my state were a swing state, I’d vote for Biden. I’m going to work on getting us a third option with my vote since im not in a swing state.

!you don’t get to say both choices suck,!<

What’s the point of this whole democracy thing if I can’t even say my piece? Like what are we defending if we’re just going to get in line and shut up anyway?

Anyways the two parties are still basically the same. We deserve an actual left wing party.

Just going to focus on the first part cuz I don’t think we’re going to really progress on the other parts and we seem to have an understanding.

Buden didn’t even try to pack the court. The Dems had the Senate and the house and the presidency in 2021. I don’t remember Biden even trying to pack the supreme Court. It’d be one thing if he tried and the Senate wouldn’t give him the vote of a simple majority for his candidates. Then we could say Biden’s cool but some Dems suck. But he didn’t even try. Why are we pretending like he would have?

Edit: also sorry if I come off like an asshole I don’t mean to. Also hell yeah 420 dude 👈😎 I’m lighting up now myself
