Biden started out well in 21 and 22 because he tried to appeal to his progressive base. That being said, Biden is a fucking moron if he believes his neolib pivot didn't hurt his poll numbers.

It's not too late, Biden needs to pivot back to progressive policies instead of this blame the voters BS like Hillary tried. Blame leaders, not voters.

If "the left" raises taxes on a business or individual that pays close to 0 and normal taxes bankrupts them, is that bad?

They know deep down they are supporting the trainwreck, they just want a media ecosystem that blames others so they don't feel personally responsible for it.

I don't know how to reply here. You ignored so much of my comment, I'd believe you if you said your reply was meant for another.

Liberal voters, aka centrists, only care about defeating Trump. Manchin can only hurt that. And the press will turn on him as the pulling votes from Biden narrative heats up.

Unpopular donors are very inefficient and could easily spend x10 their opponent to eke out a win in a primary. Also, donors like to be bipartisan. Meaning they never openly spend on just 1 party in November because they want a good relationship with both parties.

The DNC wants to help Israel without any consequences, so they are pretending to be powerless here. But for arguments sake, if AIPAC tried to hurt the DNCs chances in November over a growing antiwar movement. They would permanently damage Israel's reputation with liberal democracies across the globe because Trump is an unpopular guy.

Same hospital Israeli snipers are shooting patients?

Hedgefundaganda from sfgate. Classic playbook from the rich, pitting people against each other to deflect blame.

I agree beginning of the comment, conflict is bad for both Palestinians and Israeli citizens. And it increasing bigotry towards Muslims and Jews worldwide.

I re-read the comment twice and I believe it fails when it gets into blaming the Palestinian people, like they chose to have no control of their food, water, borders, ports, electricity, or even their military.

I'm not sure where you are from. But in America, they teach us to blame voters whenever shit goes bad. But at the same time our divided media propagandizes us with narratives that always protect the most powerful. Israeli leadership is the most powerful in that region and this comment you linked unsurprisingly has no criticism for them? I am done blaming people, even if they believe the shit propaganda fed to them. Leaders are always to blame.

That region can never heal until it's rotten leadership is gone and there's new leaders that actually want to build a peaceful future.

Originalism ain't in the constitution as well.

You want to fucking "both sides" this, really? If Biden and the US government were arming Hamas while they attacked Israeli citizens, I would be just as upset as would you. But here you are defending him while ten of thousands of Palestinians are dead or dying. Stop pretending like you care.

Genocide is not complicated, it is never acceptable.

WTH are you talking about? My top comment is the opposite of that. And Biden arming a genocide has many Democrats light years beyond annoyed.

I swear if liberals put their energy pushing for popular policies instead of policing any criticism of Biden, his positions and polls numbers would flip.

Stop enabling Genocide Joe, because Genocide Joe is how we get Trump again.

Busting ass every day? In 21-22 yes, but not lately.

Talk to marginally engaged voters about Biden, they are either going to make or break him in 2024. And right now, they feel like he is not representing them.

Yes people should vote for Biden over Trump, because Trump is the biggest threat of our lifetime. But instead of policing people online whenever Biden makes shit policy choices, maybe spend that energy pressuring Joe into doing things voters care about.

It's like we all fear Biden is giving up, continuing his on his strategy of alienating voters and liberals want anyone to blame it on besides Biden.

Whether you see it or not, your opinion is carving out a way for legal bigotry when done by a christian. Of course an atheist refusing to serve this asshole bigot would open up the door for a religious discrimination case against the atheist because bigots want nothing more than to divide society. We have no obligation to defend a bigot's rights they are actively taking those same rights away from others.

I read it and liked it as a teen back in the 90s. The book is a fantasy that portrays capitalism as a benevolent force that helps all who follow a few simple habits. Its an interesting look at American history, but are people still recommending it today?

You believe the right wing op ed writers at the times could ever get fired for their opinions? Bari Weiss was making mid 6 figures posting trash on the NYT before she accused her employer of discrimination to jump start coverage of her new substack.

Everyone is biased, it's how the brain operates. Some biases try to reflect reality while others try to manipulate people to believe propaganda. The Times is perfectly fine employing propagandists.

And do what, vote for Republicans? If you really cared about genocide the Democrats are the only party that have a ceasefire now caucus the USA. The squad has been great.

Not any great options next November. I just want others to focus on blaming leaders because Americans get in a bad habit of blaming voters when time and again it's the leaders doing stuff the voters never asked for.

People should vote for Biden over the other guy because the other guy is the worst.

But Biden and his team are fucking morons if they believe funding a genocide won't cost them any votes. Democratic voters aren't in a cult, don't expect 100% of them to fall in line when their president doing extremely unpopular things.
