Why would she tweet that?! We're so effed...

Biden aimed a lot closer to the yellow line than he got; the fact he was able to achieve legislation for the blue line in our current corporate-whore government is a goddamned miracle

And yet somehow, instead of being mad at the elements of our government that blocked the yellow line, or asking who in government we can promote who’s further left than Biden and how we can realistically get those people into a position to win power, some people are purely angry at Biden about it

I wonder why

Step 1: Vote for Biden now. Step 2: Vote for every Democrat. Do this until the Republican party is a smoking crater. Step 3:Then primary the fuck out of the AIPAC and oil-backed Democrats once you get past Step 2.

It's important to let the Democratic Party think they've got the levers of power, then shift the sands beneath them.

And of it doesn't work, at least you didn't get Trump, because no matter how bad the Democrats are, Trump and the Republican Party are so much worse.

"how do I vote for the yellow line"

By voting towards the yellow line...

It's no wonder she lost to Trump.

No self-awareness whatsoever.

Imagine you live in a world where major voices of a political party is clearly expressing that their current guy will run down the world and thinks that it is a w, because the other guy is worse.

Thanks Dems, you fail the USA and the world at large! Literally ruining the only accessable livable planet. But w for not being trump!

I mean, at least she's not lying about it.

conservative astroturfing. love it!

“why would she tweet that?”

because it’s important.

this post is so embarrassing and so is that response tweet. how did you want her to present this information? or did you just want her to shut up about the very topics which you self admittedly find to be critical?

reactionary posturing. not even a meme. for the love of everything you care for don’t let this shit affect your vote.

She's still salty that she lost. Meanwhile Bernie, cheated by her and her squad of idiots, is still in Congress so in his actual job. What's Hilary doing these days? Shilling?

Dems will vote for Biden because he'll only drink the blood of one baby while Trump drinks the blood of two.

I get the harm reduction argument but jesus fuck we have 300 million+ people in this country are those two really the best we have to offer?

Good lord why is this so hard.

Y’all want closer or further from target? Make your choice.

In the last couple weeks, I've noticed a sudden and dramatic shift in tone with how Biden is talked about on Lemmy as well as other corners of the internet I lurk on(e.g. this comment section). Before, it seemed like the general opinion was "he's nowhere close to my 1st choice, but the alternative is Trump." And now I feel like people are a lot quicker to jump to his defense and treat him like one of the better presidents of our lifetime.

I'm gonna admit that I'm a lot less up to date and informed about politics than I should be, but where did this recent pivot on Biden come from?

Founding fathers: you will eat cheese or pepperoni pizza for the rest of your life.

Conservatives: so wise

Any rational person: there's better toppings out there.

Non americans: you guys eat pizza? Every night? Every single night??

It’s almost as if we could have voted for someone else in 2016. Someone interested in helping solve this problem.

The really bad part is that carbonbriefs analysis is that the Biden line is only the laws Biden has passed or is about to pass, before the election not being revoked by Trump. So if Biden actually gets elected he can and probably will do more, bringing the actual results much closer to the Target line. However being able to create a graph, seems to hard for a modern PR team.

Do we have to talk about how we move the Overton Window?

The Democrats can't do everything wanted when there's still a very real chance of losing the election. It's really that simple. If you want to move the Overton Window, you have to keep voting for the closest thing you want. When the Republicans know they can't win on their views, they will be forced to change. And congrats you have moved the Overton Window.

(yes yes I know the quote they won't abandon their views, they will abandon democracy, but as for now they still have a real chance of winning.)

If we need more convincing, why are we having stupid movements to disband the EPA? Because the republicans won elections. They moved the Overton window by winning elections.

The actual answer is to vote in local elections because they matter more to the country than presidential elections. If you have a house and Senate that vote the way you want the president doesn't actually matter that much. That's how Republicans undermine a Democratic president, and why they gerrymander.

You vote for the yellow by not letting red think they have a chance of winning, making room for a candidate better than blue in the future elections. Democracy is an ongoing effort, not a magic thing that happens on election day.

UHOH!

Somebody forgot to write a 1,000,000 word essay on how Republicans are worse then democrats before submitring one morsel of criticism against the Democratic party. Thus you are a secret Republican Russian.

No you don't get to ask for Ranked Choice voting to solve the spoiler effect. The spoiler effect must hover over your head every time you're in the voting booth. THIS. IS. DEMOCRACY. MANIFEST!

I see you left the voting booth without a big enough smile, it will be 10000% entirely your fault if the democrats weak willed attempts don't work out.

No you don't get to have any input. Taxation without representation is how this country was founded silly. This is just how it works here. Maybe when you grow up, you will realize the real adults, the real americans are the only ones responsible enough to control the nation until their last gasp on this planet. Of course it is right to continue shifting the Overton window to the right! This is reality sweetheart, maybe you're just a idealistic dreamer with to high of expectations.

Now smile really REALLY big and say "Joe Biden is the most pro-union president in American history" 20 times in the mirror before you go to work your 3 part time jobs.

The answer is to vote and ensure the house and senate are blue. Then ensure Trump loses by voting against him.

Poof, we then make progress towards the yellow line.

WDYM why would she tweet that? To show how fucking clear the choice is.

To vote for the yellow line, use a brick as a ballot and [redacted] as the ballot box.

Although in practice a general strike would be most effective, it’s just very hard to organize and reach critical mass.

Writing in "target" on my ballot

Maybe she's low-key implying that she could've been the yellow line

According to the graph, certainly not the matter of hitting that target. Are there any candidates that have a plan for “target”?

Target

I didn't realize that corporations could run for office, or that Target was running. Or that Target was so environmentally conscious.

"Vote Target 2024 and hit the Bullseye."

This is just the difference between getting sodomized by your government vs being given lube first before you’re fucked anyway.

haha rip the system down.

That's the neat part...

You vote for the blue one and organise a general strike in aim to paralyse the country until situation improves

The list of demands is long indeed

Right because if you can't have optimal, you should have FAR FUCKING WORSE.

I love it how people assume protesting republicans is never an option

She needs to just go away. Nobody wants to hear from her.

Education can be had from everything

She's just out there to remind people Biden isn't the worst possible option, she could have insisted on running again.

Possibly vote in multiple countries since you are so dense.

Or… recognize we are one part of a larger group, dare I say, a “planetary” whole.

Maybe the bigger issue is the idiot obsessing over a yellow line and not someone showing multiple options.

HRC needs to STFU.

Remember when they tried to put Jill Stein in prison just for showing up to speak about her campaign in 2016? Oh, what was she wanting to discuss? Ah, mostly the environment and how we need to make some changes to protect it.

Report source she's talking about: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump-election-win-could-add-4bn-tonnes-to-us-emissions-by-2030/

The woman who got cucked by Monica Lewinsky and lost to Trump continues to make an idiot of herself.

Becausez unlike a manipulative populist, she knows that there is no reality where we meet the yellow line. It's sad, but true. Complaining about it just makes you sound like an idiot

Deffering responsibility for this problem to the people in government is just scapegoating the problem. We the people need to act directly for and against issues we believe in. While we delegate the power of change to hands of the ruling class nothing will change.

Not voting for Biden ever. You don’t have to either.
