He can't go any further right, so he can't be pushed right. Ergo, he can only be pushed left. Libs owned us yet again

Are you a complete asshole? He is literally funding and arming a fucking genocide. Where the fuck do you draw the line if not at genocide?
He has not been pushed left on anything. He canned his student debt relief plans, he's currently in the middle of lettings tons of anti-trans bills pass while pushing a bill that includes a ban on pride flags at embassies and such. He is not dramatically different from any Republican, he still puts kids in cages at the border.
You remind me why I hate liberals so passionately.
He’s NOT perfect okay, nobody is. Sure there’s the genocide and the concentration camps and the border wall and the strike breaking and you know what? Look, we all make mistakes, that’s what makes us human. Like Jesus said, let anyone who is without sin throw the first stone.
I mean.. I know he's murdering babies... but like... its not OUR babies.
Oh my god shut the fuck up. Biden is literally arming a genocide against the Palestinians right fucking now. You don't get to pull this "well the other guy would be worse" line when your guy is committing actual war crimes with zero remorse. "Well you see under Trump Israel would slaughter 300 civilians every day compared to the 250 civilians per day being slaughtered under Biden" fuck you.
Stop supporting genocide you piece of shit
What line are we drawing? Maybe "don't do a fucking genocide" is a good place to start. Sounds like you support the genocide though. How does that feel to know that you are supporting the senseless slaughter of an entire people? Does that feel like you're doing the right thing? Bet you won't answer though
You are a liberal. Oh, sorry you’re a Bernie-supporting leftist who wants the US to be like Sweden without understanding at all why they aren’t or why Sweden is.
I don't even understand that last sentence. Bernie was the best choice in that race. It's not like Warren was going to usher in a Communist Eutopia.
Here's what you don't get. If you want power you need public support. You can't bypass public opinion and fix the system. That's what Republicans tried to do with Abortion. They went after the power by any means necessary, driving public opinion away from them in the process. They got what they wanted and have been fucked in every election since.
I doubt that your approach will ever achieve anything but, if you do, you wont be able to sustain it. That's exactly why radical communist revolutions have such an abysmal track record.
Because the United imperialist nations can’t help but commit genocide at the slightest sign of resistance?
We don't want power, we want justice, an end to genocide...
I assumed you understood that you need power to get that.
And this is what your party does with power.
Genocide supporter
And those in power (the democrats) have shown that they will not use it to end genocide, so there is no reason to lend them a hand.
Are you trying to argue that it would be easier to make trump stop funding a genocide? The reason people on the left say that they will not vote for Biden due to genocide is because they hope he might stop.
