The administration not only willing but possibly even desperate to shift the image of the war from endless slaughter in Gaza to a fight against Hezbollah and Iran.

Fuck, he has a point.

We have 6 months until the election, it’s a little bit early to say it’s Joever.

I’m still hoping “comrade blood clot” does something really funny in October.

My social media feed with so much more tolerable if instead of screaming at communists who don’t want to support a genocider, all of these liberals went to phone bank and canvas and volunteer instead.

I don’t understand the purpose of yelling at someone on social media to support your candidate, what exactly is it supposed to accomplish?

Young voters have been completely turned off by the Joe Biden campaign. Democrats need people to man the phones and to knock on doors. Boomers better step up if this is indeed the most important election of our lifetime.

I’m not in the habit of praising Nazis.

But I do wish that Democrats had even a quarter of their “will to power”. Their willingness to bend the levers of power in the direction they see fit. Their willingness to ignore norms and decorum, in order to further their agenda. The ruthless cunning, the naked real politique, The decades long plans like slowly taking over the federal judiciary.

Of course, what I’m complaining about is the system working as intended. The fecklessness of democrats is not a bug. It is a feature of the system.

I had to double check.

He never pledged to run for one term, he made several statements that he was a bridge to the next generation of leadership he did not expect to run for a second term but he never explicitly ruled it out.

I would post a link but I’m not a lib, you know how to Google, and the best article looks like it’s from the Atlantic which I refuse to give free clicks to.

But TLDR, yes he made very clear he planned to run for exactly one term. No, he did not promise or pledge to run for one term.

Obviously they are all Russian bots

Staying home should not be an option considering the importance of state ballot initiatives, constitutional amendments, school board and city council seats, etc.

The presidential Ballot is not as important as those local elections.

Pokemon Go to hell, Hillary.

A generation after the end of the first Civil War the American Empire was sailing ships into Tokyo Bay to force trade concessions, 30 years after the Civil War the American Empire was invading the Philippines and Cuba.

If anything, American society rebuilding itself around militarism instead of treat acquisition, would result in a new dark age, where the American Empire emboldened by the defeat of its domestic enemies would seek to oppress everyone in its reach.

As horrific is the first American Civil War was, the US was flexing its imperial muscle 20 years after hostilities ended.

A Civil war would only militarize American society, it might weaken the Empire in the short term but very soon the rest of the world would feel the consequences of an American society that had been re-oriented for war instead of treats.

I can’t believe you’re literally advocating for a toddler to handle a loaded firearm.

Without proper ear and eye protection.

Y’all are fucking monsters. Tinnitus is no joke.

God this is embarrassing.

I was a high school senior in 2003. I was taking an English class at the local community college. I got into a long argument with a student in that English class.

They opposed the war in Iraq. I maintained that George W Bush could not possibly be lying about weapons of mass destruction because it would guarantee a loss in his reelection campaign in 2004. I agreed that the evidence presented for weapons of mass destruction was not convincing, but I maintained that no president could possibly lie to start a war of convenience and still win re-election. I believed wholeheartedly that there was evidence that had not been made public that would justify our aggression in Iraq. The idea of a president lying to start a war was so incredibly alien I refused to accept it. I refused to believe that our Democratic system would reward a president who lied like that with another term, especially after the shady way he was elected in 2000.

I learned my lesson eventually. By mid '04 I realized how stupid I had been. When Bush won reelection, what little faith I had in this nation and it’s institutions, finally evaporated.

Thank God it doesn’t rain very often over there.

We are 6 months away from the election and the great majority of Americans live in a state where the outcome is preordained.

Who is actually the target of this screed?

Their are like four states where a person’s vote matters.

Libs be out here screaming at people to vote blue in Utah, but can’t be bothered to volunteer, canvass, phone bank, or do anything proactive.

Disinformatussy

“teh Penguin of doom” chick is 40 years old and has a mortgage now

Somewhere in an alternate universe there’s a Joe Biden who actually cares about labor.

But, as we have seen over and over again, this is the worst timeline.

My point is he has some goodwill built up, despite himself, thanks to the NLRB.

If he cared about winning he could capitalize on that.

He won’t. So it’s all a moot point.

Actually fight for labor rather than strikebreak

I don’t have the desire or time to investigate, but it’s my understanding that under Biden the NLRB has been surprisingly based. The fact they’re being sued by SpaceX and Trader Joe’s is probably a good sign.

If Biden cared to win this election, he could be promoting the positive actions the NLRB has taken, distance himself from his strike breaking activities regarding the railroad workers union, and live up to his promise of being a pro-labor president.

But, he won’t.

Edit: stopping the ongoing genocide would also help.
