I mean, I don't know how it works in Germany, so maybe you don't know how the judiciary works in America, but it is quite concerning that the Republican party wants to rig the court in their favor forever yet Democrats like Biden are explicitly against ideas like changing the rotation of the court or expanding it. Why would people feel compelled to think a Biden presidency can solve the issues of a far-right court if Biden is openly against solutions to such thing? 7 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, the filing deadlines have already passed in almost 40 states, so Biden dropping out now would just mean there wouldn't be a Democratic candidate for the majority of the country. I think (and I might not be right on this) that if he were to drop out after the party convention for specific reasons that he'd be replaced on the ballot by Kamala, but the polling doesn't seem to reflect that being much better for Democrat chances 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would people feel compelled to think a Biden presidency can solve the issues of a far-right court if Biden is openly against solutions to such thing? Weirdly enough, before the 2020 election, I remember the democratic party talking about stacking the courts in their favor. I wonder if that's a party opinion and not a biden-specific opinion. A Biden presidency will not solve the "far-right" court issue. What is being attempted is that leftists are hoping that he'll get arrested, but that doesn't seem to look like it'll happen before 2024's election (but maybe 2028). The problem with that line of thinking imo is what are they going to do if he gets arrested for something like 6 months since a bunch of the cases have been thrown out of the courts recently iirc.

WhateverYouWant Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Sleep in the bed yall made at this point sorry how he was president once and is probably going to be again is a big fail on everyone. Clowns shouldn't be running countries. That goes for both parties. Nobody is showing up for the left this time so I guess suck it up and hope it doesn't get too bad and do better next time. there are bigger problems happening than the clowns you are willing to elect as presidents.

Biden was largely alone out of the front-runners in his opposition. Though even the above graph by WaPo is off, as it does things like classify Sanders as "No", while his actual position was to implement a rotation to the court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I couldn't remember if it was something on his platform (as in, he was running on doing so), or if it was just the democratic party in general talking about it.

Communion Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Pheromosa said: Palestine being the deal breaker is so wild to me. A Trump presidency it's just going to hasten the process This framing is weird. Biden has been antagonistic to the left since he won the 2020 primary. Sure, there's a group who have Palestine (reasonably) as their dealbreaker. Why would Arabs or Muslims vote for a president who is showing he will deny death tolls of Palestinian children or who reports confirms via insiders in his administration that he doesn't view Palestinians as human? But once you move away from that group, many other demographics' issues with him are simply inflamed by Biden's barbarism on Palestine. - Young voters are already disappointed with his broken promises on student debt and his rejection of social justice policies in favor of billions for new cops. - Environmental activists have basically been sidelined as his response to inflation was not to tackle corporate greed but "drill, baby, drill!!". - Progressives have been at odds with him since he said he'd veto Medicare For All, compounded by him now overseeing the largest expulsion in Medicaid history. - Latino groups are upset at him for pushing for banning asylum and bringing back Trump's immigration policies to get aid to Ukraine + Israel. - Even normie demographics, including working class black voters, were burnt after Dems let all the COVID stimulus expire like the child tax credit. He has rejected moving closer to where the Dem base is ideologically in nearly every sector of policy. He's a clear right-wing ideologue. If your only response is a knee-jerk to go: "Well, sure, but Trump would still be worse on all of those too," what's the point of 2 candidates so bad at everything?

Some of you anticipating criticisms from those critical of centrist Dems instead of reflecting on how wrong you possibly were in the past is probably why we're here to begin with, tbh :/ Edited May 19 by Communion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
