I care more about economic issues. Trans rights is easy. A single payer option, doing anything about wealth inequality, anything about housing affordability, and thing about the cost of health care or education. Those are hard and Biden avoided all of them. If anything Trump has more of a populist streak. |
Biden has done a ton on these issues. If you are an honest broker, you would look up the legislation Biden proposed and the democrats passed (mostly without ANY GOP support) to see where things like health care costs and wealth inequality have been addressed. Biden also supported union workers, particularly those UAW who were on strike until very recently, having won gains to raise their compensation as compared to the C suite executives. He was able to get drug companies to the table with Medicaid negotiations (that the GOP is trying to undo) and his legislation increasing funding for public education and public housing block grants. The bolded suggesting Biden has avoided these issues is just flat out wrong. If he had a fair negotiation partner with the GOP, perhaps more could be done, but the GOP alternative is to let capitalism reign without guardrails, which means the little guy gets screwed at every turn. How is that better? |
Troll. |
Trump supported the UAW too. That was easy. Talk to the railroad workers about Biden's union credentials |
I am still not voting for Biden. If it will be Trump next four years, let it be and let my party finally learn the lesson that they have not learned since Hillary. |
which is what? Hillary was a great candidate - lots of experience, well educated, etc. |
DP but the lesson is you need to be more than better than the other candidate because they’re a catastrophe— you have to be, on your own merits, able to appeal to the voters you need. In Hilary’s case that was progressive voters and women. She didn’t make that case, she didn’t do real outreach to the Bernie supporters and…she lost. I voted for her but I was literally horrified how she blithely dismissed the women who (correctly) accused her husband of sexual misconduct. As an assault survivor— like up to 1 in 3 women— she did not seem credible to me. And she lost. So the lesson is when you’re losing support of the Progressives and women you can’t take their votes for granted you have to fix your candidate! |
The case for Hillary seemed to revolve around it being her turn. I can't imagine why that didn't resonate |
And lose all the centrists. Progressives are a millstone around the Democratic party's neck. |
You mean the Railroad the GOP removed regulations causing deadly injuries? |
I'll buy you a Trump sign so you can proudly express your beliefs to the whole world. |
Is the plan to bully people into voting for your guy? |
Once Trump is in office, our country will be irreparably harmed. You saw what he tried to do when he lost after the first 4 years. He won't leave office again. He has already told us that. He will fully align the US with Russia, he will pull the US out of NATO and he will allow the Evangelicals to turn our country into a fundamentalist Christian nation. but sure, "both sides" ![]() that's teach the dems. |
If only Biden didn't bust their strike, they could have negotiated the protections they were asking for into their agreement. Biden being slightly better than trump isn't a reason to vote for him |
And yet Biden wouldn’t have won without the endorsements from Warren and Sanders. So which is it? Clinton could have done much better with women if she hadn’t said she would “Crucify” her husbands assault victim. Centrists are about sexual assault now? |
