If I were Biden I would simply be a better president

Gossip posts go in c/gossip. Don't post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from c/gossip
Somehow this is the second best person in the Senate.
The word "progressive" in the US is like the word "middle class" - it hardly means anything.
Remember folks, Progress, just means "marginally better".
And I'll never understand how progressives could vote to break a strike, John, but that's who you've thrown your hat in with
The H A R M R E D U C T I O N are already wiggling around here, too.
Thanks, federated guests!
Harm reduction i say as I lift a comically large anvil above the white house
that's okay John, I don't see how a progressive can support Israel like you do so we can call it even.
The libs have convinced me, in my next local election I will vote for Joe Biden
I don't live in the US
The problem is unlike Hillary, we've seen the results of Biden's policies; he crushed trump in deportations, police funding, military expansion, strike breaking and even fuckin oil and drilling lol
Then theres the whole radio silence on abortion rights, keeping trump's tax breaks, arming nazis in Ukraine and letting covid benefits expire, but those are things libs will give him points for
By any objective measure Biden is worse than Trump, except maybe in personal sexual assault cases
lmao fuck voting in national elections under these monstrous conditions, all the moral signaling about why voting for Trump is wrong applies even more to Biden
Hey now, there's an election coming up within the next two years, this isn't the time for debate.
Yeah but at least he wasn't boorish about it
I saw those posts immediately after 2022 midterms. Can't wait for Biden to lose and the entire Dem establishment and the media will blame the left for it.
Excited to hear how Trans People Should Have Voted Harder as we get another round of street protests and cop killings.
They started that shit the day after Biden won.
Can anybody confirm if the /r/politics circlejerks are even real people? For a good 4 years I never met anyone who fit the /r/politics vibe outside of that subreddit.
Like I'm trying to emphasize that for 4 years, no notable user in a niche subreddit, nobody on Discord, nobody on other forums, no real life colleague or family member ever actively engaged with that subreddit. The place was always weird.
i have, i met them playing bar trivia. they always wanted me on their team because the host always asked super niche music and sports questions that i knew the answers to but they also would always try to pick fights with me in between rounds about politics. it didn't bother me much bc i would just get drunk and lightly bully them over it.
It's regional.
I think some locations, like NYC, DC, and significant portions of the west coast are where you'll find /r/politics enlightened centrists. The lattermost I can confirm for myself.

Real DNC flaks. Reddit has been controlled opposition since the '00s.
Get behind austerity Neoliberalism or you're getting behind austerity Neoliberalism
Its always funny how ranked choice voting is never a topic of discussion when the duopoly tries to fearmonger the spoiler effect.
It is talked about, at least on r/politics. Most of the commenters think that will solve American politics, lmao
"You can choose the lash, or you can chose the lash with spikes on it. Good things aren't possible now kneel!"
RES reminded me that the redditor who posted it, TheExtremistModerate, is a fan of the Iron Front.
The Iron Front (German: Eiserne Front) was a German paramilitary organization in the Weimar Republic which consisted of social democrats, trade unionists, and democratic socialists. Its main goal was to defend social liberalism and democracy and freedom against totalitarian ideologies on the far-right and far-left.

It was a trending meme back when /r/Communism and the other leftist subs weren't entirely de-moderated and neutered/banned by admins. Not shocked to see he got in on the party.
But the whole "Which side would you Stan in 1930s Germany?" was already horribly cringe and gross. Just a bunch of armchair dweebs fantasizing of a time and place when hunting your neighbors for support was socially acceptable.
Hillary Clinton would have carpet bombed Syria. She expressly stated she was going to No Fly Zone them and in private conversations said Libya was a model for how to toppled Assad.
how could she have done that? i mean without starting a war with russia and immolating us all. that's what restrained Trump too, he loved bombing Syria when he did, he didn't actually have a friendlier disposition on that front
It’s HER TURN to start WWIII
Every election it's the leftists' turn to compromise to avoid total disaster. When is the libs' turn to compromise and vote in somebody remotely left-wing or be blamed for a Trump victory?
I will never vote in this country ever again.
I will not vote for Biden because that motherfucker still owes me $600.
Wait. Why do you think progressives wouldn't want to support him, John?
"Get behind Joe Biden's policies, or you're gonna get behind Trump's policies,"
It's so blatant how literally all they have is "Vote Biden or else"
it's funny because unlike almost everything else in this stupid world (e.g., living through environmental collapse, pay taxes in exchange for virtually nothing except imperialism and corporate subsidies, drink water full of microplastics and PFAS, eat poisoned food, ) not voting for Biden actually is the one thing I do not have to do my dude
Of course he would never understand, hes part of the problem.
Presidential elections are useless unless you live in a swing state
Thank your almighty founding fathers for that one, libs
Good thing I’m not a progressive I am a motherfuckin TANKIE YALL
We have the best democracy, don’t we folks
When is it ever the “right time” to stop worshipping at the altar of the blue D?
counterpoint: unlimited classicide of the first world bourgeoisie and their collaborators
Maybe we should hear from somebody who does understand then.
