Our Biden Problem

[LordBrownTrout]

Aside from dementia, the question progressives are struggling with is how to oust Trump while combatting Biden's decades-long support for neoliberal economics (If you don't like NAFTA, vote Republican)

"Touchdown Joe's" history of drafting and resisting the 1994 crime bill, his demeaning of Anita Hill, and his decades of loyalty to corporate America (the Senator from DuPont) aside, exceptional times demand exceptional choices:

Our Biden Problem

"That said, if Biden is nobody’s dream, Trump is a nightmare.

"We know a second term of Trump will inflict enormous repression, suffering and death.

"So we face a dilemma: We cannot be cheerleaders and apologists for neoliberal politicians like Biden, but we cannot endure four more years of Trump.

"Do we hold our noses yet again and support a candidate so grossly out of sync with our values, or do we sit on the sidelines and let an aspiring fascist hold power?

"Four more years, I fear, would be a no-holds-barred grasp for the throne. GOP leaders are such spineless and opportunist sycophants that they will tolerate anything to maintain proximity to the tyrant’s power, or at least avoid his ire."

Biden although you find fault will bring with him NOT slime from the swamp,but some of the best minds around AND wonders will take place when he actually listens to them He's ahead in the polls and the DOW futures are up 400 or so

Ukraine joe is part of the swamp.

Biden doesn't have dementia. America is going to learn this when he and trump debate. Biden is a stutterer and you can see him fighting it sometimes when he speaks. People are making a big deal of his gaffes, but look at trump.

Dude, he stares off into space. He has to reminded multiple times his speech is over. That isnt stuttering.
Buy keep defending that rich racist old white man, chump

I really don't like this gal's (Barbara Ransby) attitude.

 

[MACAULAY]

The article posted by the OP presents with something approximating Sanity through its hand-wringing over having a senile old fool like Joe Biden as our President.

But it says that because of Trump, "...an aspiring fascist {whose} reckless incompetence and contempt for both democratic practices and the suffering of human beings we can visualize a catastrophe far beyond what we have witnessed thus far....We know a second term of Trump will inflict enormous repression, suffering and death."

Obviously the writer is a knave or a fool who has been sitting in front of the TV for 3.5 years switching back and forth between Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon. "Catastrophe" is the only word used in this psychopathological screed which is tethered to reality, as the Covid Virus sent to us BY CHINA, who Trump has been at the forefront of criticizing as evil and manipulative---China who is constantly doing what it can to undermine America.

The Virus is a catastrophe, but the only public official who is guilty of gross negligence in handling it is the Fool in New York who mandated that very old diagnosed Covid patients be sent back to Nursing Homes to infect the most vulnerable.

Everything else this Loon said is an Elizabeth Warren Level Rave untethered to reality.

The catastrophe was a disease originating in a criminally communist country the spread of which Trump tried to slow, in spite of lies by China, by stopping flights from China---for which Senile Joe scolded him as being a Racist.

The disordered intellect of the writer of this mess has caused her to CONCLUDE without explanation or evidence that our President, who had created the best economy ever for ALL Americans of ALL races...is:

1) An aspiring Fascist;

2) A Reckless Incompetent;

3) With Contempt for Democratic Practices;

4) With contempt for the sufferings of human beings;

5) Who, given a chance, will inflict enormous repression, suffering, and death!

The only President in quite a while who has not started a war and the only President who has ended one (ISIS)---and is working mightily to end our longest war in history (Afghanistan).

Who wrote this Horseshit?

Well:

"Barbara Ransby is a professor of history at the University of Illinois-Chicago and the author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement: A Radical Democratic Vision.

I see. A RADICAL PROFESSOR in CHICAGO. The Chicago Shooting Gallery. That explains it, partially. I would say insanity explains the rest. The Trump Derangement Syndrome Variety.

This whole thread ought to be Shit-Canned on the grounds that it is based on an article by a crazy person.

Yup, the left can’t wait to get back to politics as usual. A corrupt corporate sellout like Biden, willing to ship jobs overseas, so long as you give one of his sons a few million dollars in kickbacks.

And where is Ivanka getting her money from?? and her husband ?? lol Trumps adviser ? Going to get fired ??? Trump was bringing only the best??

Ivanka gets money from her business.

I realize you can’t stay on topic. Always have to deflect for corrupt Dems.

She's not supposed to be doing that.

Biden's just another corrupt, corporate puppet, but there has never been a POTUS as greedy as Trump in living memory (if ever):

American Fuhrer—Corrupt Rampage Against Americans | Ralph Nader

"Whether it is the air you breathe, the water you drink, the vehicles you ride in, or the toxins in your workplace, Trump’s corporatist wrecking crew is running federal agencies into the ground.

"While corporate outlaws fill Trump’s coffers and hotels with riches, he gives them huge tax escapes and starves infrastructure.

"The word 'corruption' cannot fully embrace how this insulting megalomaniac is tearing apart our country, our democratic practices, and our moral norms. Protections for children, the elderly, veterans and workers are all on Trump’s chopping block."

A vote for Biden is a vote for anarchy.

Good luck with those polls lol

The ugliness that is Trumpism must be defeated and thrown in the trash heap of history with other white nationalist regimes.

Then we turn to the ridiculous mess that has become of liberalism. That will be a large enough undertaking on its own.

And replace him with what?
A dementia addled moron who wont actually be leading but following orders just like barry did?

Biden is terrible, and the Democratic Party is a shit show.

Can't argue. That's how far our standards have fallen.

Biden looks good compared to Trump, but it's worth remembering how he managed to remain in the Senate as long as he did. In a conservative, corporate state like Delaware, Biden was forced to run to the right of his moderate Republican opponents.

That's why he found common ground with segregationists, supported financial deregulation, and endorsed "crime reform" efforts that locked up millions of mostly non-white victims often without a trial.

His undying support for the FIRE sector (Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) is probably the biggest question in my mind:

Joe Biden’s politics can be explained by Delaware’s shadowy past

"Payback: Biden was also among the Democrats who joined Republicans in giving credit card and student loan lenders what they wanted — laws limiting bankruptcy write-downs for people who borrowed more than they could pay and contributing, some economists say, to the late-2000s financial crisis.

"Those laws also fueled student debts that have made it tough for many young people to buy homes.

"Biden became friendly with the late Charles M. Cawley, who built Maryland National Bank’s credit card arm into Delaware’s largest private employer, MBNA, now part of Bank of America.

"Biden bought his sprawling Greenville, Del., home from an MBNA executive at an attractive price.

"Bankers gave generously to Biden’s campaigns and hired his son."

Do you have a preference for Biden's VP pick?

Well, he's tied his hands with his ridiculous PC-based promise. Susan Rice is the only one I think is qualified, like her or not. But who knows how long Biden would last. I'd rather see Michelle O, but I think she's had enough of that world.

Two horrible choices in a row, holy shit.

Stuttering makes his gaffes appear worse, but, if you're old enough to remember Trump before the Apprentice or Biden before Obama, you may recall they were both regarded as buffoons who polled around 1%-2% in POTUS polls. Biden has also had problems with plagiarism.

I'm thinking he might last only one term if he's elected.
Rice is someone I have little regard for, but she's light years better than Harris, imho.

Anyone listening to Pence???? Will he ever get his head out of Trumps ass ? Trump has done this and Trump has done that makes me sick

Pence once believed that lying on Trump's behalf would give him the inside track in 2024. I suspect he and his enablers still do.
