      Everytime democrats lose its progressives fault somehow. They can never take responsibility for their poor job and bad policy.

      He is right if they are willing to unleash Trump back into office over a single foreign affairs policy (where Trump’s stance is even worse)

          The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not going to stop regardless of who you vote for in the US election. It is going to get a lot worse if Trump gets elected. Many aspects of your life are going to get a lot worse.

        Lol, that’s not how this works. Unless you plan to either take away a shit ton of people’s voting rights, or to just kill them, you have to “play the crowd”.

        That’s just how this shit works. As long as enough “deplorables” exists to tip the scales, you have to address them somehow, not pretend they don’t matter because they’re wrong.

        Obama understood that there’s a massive amount of the voterbase unhappy with how things were, and campaigned on a generic idea of change, appealing to frustrated people on both sides of the aisle.

        Talking down to people or calling them names isn’t a good strategy to get them to cooperate.

          If we’re talking election strategy, of course you’re right.

          If we’re talking morals, everyone not voting for Biden is partly responsible if the world gets served Trump again. Trump is not going to improve the lives of anybody but himself and, by accident, other rich assholes.

              Biden couldn’t dream of being as shit a president as Trump has been. And Trump is gonna be a lot worse than the first time around.

                We are seeing mechanized warfare on a scale we haven’t seen in decades, under Biden.
