And you think that is evidence of something? The exit polling was crystal clear. Bernie supporters overwhelmingly voted for Hillary in 2016 and for Biden in 2020. Who the fuck cares what online trolls say?

In the case where leftists might say they won’t vote for Biden, odds are that they are venting or pushing for a better candidate. When it’s Trump or Biden, most will come around unless some idiot causes them to harden their position. That’s pretty much the standard human reaction to this kind of post.

If you are really concerned that the left won’t show for Biden, there are ways of approaching the topic that aren’t designed to alienate. You are far more likely to push people away than convince them to vote for Biden with your tone-deaf chastisements.

You might have fooled yourself that this is about helping Biden win, but that’s bullshit. You are scratching an itch to declare your moral and intellectual superiority to the Internet. You don’t give a flying fuck about the election, you just want to be smug. If you really cared about the election then you would find a better approach.

Oh, fuck off with this bullshit. Anyone politically conscious enough to call themselves a leftist is overwhelmingly more likely to cast a Biden vote than pretty much any other group you could carve out.

The left tells centrist morons how to appeal to average Americans. Centrist morons ignore the left. Average Americans stay home on election day. Centrist morons assume it’s because they’re leftists since the leftists warned them .

It’s bad enough the left has to keep voting for establishment goons. It’s intolerable that we are the first place they look for a scapegoat when they fall on their fat asses. Hillary lost because of Hillary, and that’s on the Democratic establishment and primary voters who nominated an arrogant hag.

My use of “totally” is an alternate convention for the same thing.

Elon will be fine with his massive bonus that he totally earned for all the great work he’s done for Tesla.

He’s gone way too far down Trump’s asshole for him to ever fool the left again.

Sorry I participated in the grizzley murder of your loved ones, but don’t forget to vote for me this November! You wouldn’t want us to blame you of the other guy wins!

If the squad gives the establishment the tiniest quote that’s negative towards Biden and then Biden loses, the establishment will lay the entire blame for Trump on the left, the media will back them up, and the American electorate will swallow it. This is a time for progressives to let the establishment sink or swim on their own, not to provide an easy scapegoat.

The left has got to learn to let it’s politicians be politicians. What works for an activist doesn’t work for someone in public office.

Europe is selling new bonds all the time, and the price buyers will be willing to pay for them will fall.

And this is exactly why we never get the turnout needed to trounce the Republicans. Less shitty matters to someone who shows up at the polls. It’s not a great motivator to get people to the polls.

I think you are assuming way to much rationality on the part of Republican voters. Republican politicians will just blame the Democrats, immigrants, and DEI for the failures, and Republican voters will eat it up.

It’s not low by some economist’s standards. It’s low by every economist’s standards. Economists don’t agree on much, but they agree on this. Under all circumstances in every economy there are always “a lot” of people looking for employment .

Again, I don’t doubt or disagree with your assessment of your situation. Again, I support you. It’s not the economy making the safety nets so bad. There is plenty of money to pay for it, we just don’t. It’s not the economy attacking unions, it’s the employers and many politicians. It’s not the economy allowing companies to fire striking workers, etc. the economy is fine. It’s the labor system that’s broken, and no economy will fix that.

Watch those goalposts just leap all over the place. Now we’re supposed to litigate your idiotic interpretation of the railroad strike? You haven’t forgiven him? The railroad union has. In fact they thanked him for his involvement in negotiating with the railroad and getting them a better deal.

Who said anything about TV? You’re on the Internet. The year is 2024. You aren’t really this stupid.

Ways like announcing his support of the union and intention to still go despite the canceled speech? Yeah, he did that. Harris could go, sure, but Biden is going.

I never said his security is “too difficult”. I just takes time to work out the details and plan where he will go, how long he will be there, and how he will be protected. There is no need for him to announce specifics at right this fucking second anyways. Again, Biden is the only President who has ever walked a picket line with workers.

I seriously don’t think you can be as dumb as you pretend. Another agenda is at play.

4.1 is an exceptionally low unemployment rate. An unemployment rate of 1% would be beyond impossible to achieve and would certainly cause out of control inflation, yet there would still be over 3 million people unemployed. That’s still “a lot” of people. That’s not something that any economy fixes. Most of those people are going to be unemployed because they haven’t found the job they want, not because they can’t find any job. For instance, tech workers get laid off all the time and typically take their time finding the right next position.

The president’s position was quickly cheered by the staff union, which declared on X: “Thank you, @JoeBiden for respecting our picket line and upholding union values!”

Like I said, Biden is still going, so there is no “inaction”. The agenda just hasn’t been announced. Do you have any clue what’s involved in putting the President on the street with workers? We know it can be done because Biden has done it before, unlike every president before him. However, it’s not something that an administration is going to be able to announce on a whim the moment his plans need to change. Seriously, get a fucking clue.

I don’t doubt any of what you are saying and I support you. However “this economy” isn’t the problem. This current economy has been fueling the first expansion of union membership in decades. That doesn’t mean it’s going to help every worker in every industry, but that’s due to industry specific factors, not the economy as a whole.

I don’t know your industry, and I don’t know what Biden might have done or not done to impact your situation. All I’m saying is that the broader economy isn’t the issue.

You seriously have no idea what you are talking about. Biden is not canceling his trip to Pennsylvania, he is just not speaking at the convention. The people on strike are the administrative staff for the NEA that is hosting the conference, and they have thanked him for “respecting our picket line and upholding union values!”

The revised agenda for his trip has not been announced, but that’s hardly surprising with everything involved in last minute planning of a presidential visit. It’s almost certain though that he will meet with the union.

4.1 percent unemployment is not a sign of an economy that favors bringing in scabs.

There is a surprising variety among even those who call themselves Marxists or anarchists. Some are way more practical than others. Marx was first and foremost a critic of capitalism, and his criticisms were way ahead of their time and right on the money. Anarchism covers a whole lot of ground that I wouldn’t consider anarchism myself. The umbrella basis for anarchism is anti-authoritarianism. To me, that makes them less extreme than authoritarian socialists like in the Soviet Union or China. I’d consider myself an anarchist, but only in the margins that realize that government does play a critical role in establishing and defending freedoms.
