Did I say nothing? Or did I say his signature accomplishments like the infrastructure bills were 100% designed to put money into the pocket of white men. Fine! There’s no reason not to get money to that group. But then lecture your beneficiaries to vote for Biden, and deliver— even the embarrassingly easy stuff— for everyone else before you come yell at us to “put on our big girl pants” with such condescension and privilege. |
If the folks you know likely aren't staying home and are voting for Biden, then that's maybe all you can do. I know there are initiatives where you can write postcards and stuff that will be sent to undecided voters in swing states. I might have to learn more about those. I don't know how much good they do. Probably a little, not a lot. |
The bolded contradicts what the Right wing are saying. Their claim is Biden is kow towing to the Left and turning us into a Woke nation. You are claiming that Biden only got tons done for white men. Which is it? |
I’m not part of the right wing. The infrastructure bill was meant to keep the construction industry afloat: who are the beneficiaries? UAW? Overwhelmingly white male. Energy? Look at the companies getting funding and tell me who the beneficiaries of these policies are. |
From one of your earlier posts:
I guess this just another Biden rah rah rah thread. |
Vote and complain or don't vote and don't complain. If you don't even participate, quit your crying. |
THIS. TOO many people don't realize the impact they have on others. Complaining is demoralizing. It's discouraging. This late in the cycle it's not sending any signal to the campaign, it's just driving the narrative further that Trump is fete complete. That can't be further from the truth if we all put our differences aside and rid the nation of Trump once and for all. Then we can get back to arguing how Bernie would have been better. Really, the hubris and privilege of some of these posters saying they are mad because their not getting the candidate of their choice, or "Biden broke is promise!" (BECAUSE THE GOP LET TRUMP MULTIPLY) is astounding. Do you know who will bare the brunt of another Trump term? It ain't white men. |
Not the rich ones anyway. The lower income and lower education white guys will be screwed over by trump like everyone else. |
As someone who uses the ACA, I am actually pissed off about your last point. No, premiums are not "lower". In fact I pay more and more every year for a plan which is worse and worse. |
Stop blaming women who vote for Biden for the rise of Trump. |
You cannot read. I said several times I am voting for Biden. If anything, maybe you should stop crying about people you overlook in strategy and won't show. |
Well definitely vote for trump. He has that big old beautiful health plan ready to go. Hahahahahah. |
OP here. You are correct. My post - she's not running wasn't fair. What I meant was she hasn't signaled that she would run. But I admit, I was wrong. I still stand that Klobcher or Whitmer don't have the name recognition to jump in this late in the game to win. And the premise of my thread was just that. I was asking those posters who keep saying in Jan, 2024 that a "generic Dem" would be better, to name what generic Dem COULD jump in NOW. I was asking who your policy choice is, who you would have liked to have run starting 2023, but WHO NOW? And now pages into this, no one has made a case for anyone who could declare today (pretending we don't have filing deadline) and still beat Trump. Because the election is NOW and still complaining is just mad it's cloudy & raining when you wanted to go to the beach. It sucks but it is what it is. So again, I was wrong on point 1. |
Go out and vote. This is everyone's responsibility. You know who is less likely to be overlooked? Groups and people that can be counted on to vote. |
I would never vote for Trump. We all know he'd do nothing good for healthcare. I just do not like people inventing accomplishments when I know better from actual experience. |
